after his little act, one of the girls came up and sat beside him. harper licked his lips and cleared his throat, scooting away from her and into sparrow with an awkward flash of a smile to the unfamiliar teen. sparrow dared 'becca' to kiss brett. harper set down his cup and put his hand out in front of sparrow. "hey, come on, isn't that a little far?" he gave her a pleading look, glancing between her and brett. she didn't know how bad that smoothie tasted, and in fact harper felt somewhat bad for brett after feeling the effects it was holding on his own stomach at that very moment. becca looked a bit disheveled and hesitant to even look at brett, let alone imagine smooching him. the girl scooted closer to harper, tugging at the sleeve of his hoodie. harper offered a coy expression and pushed her hand off, sliding closer to sparrow again. "what if you just settled for like, a kiss on the cheek?" he whispered, trying to negotiate with sparrow. "you have no clue how nasty thay stuff actually tastes," he said, holding back a feeling in his throat at the thought of the mystery meat drink.

sparrow felt a lil bad when harper mentioned the nasty taste of the drink, she sighed, HEY, yea y'all, just a peck on the cheek. don't thank me, thank salty boy over here. and pointed to harper. after the two completed the dare and everyone one finished cooing, sparrow pulled out her speaker and her phone. campers were not allowed to have any electronic, but eh, that rule was given up on awhile ago. she scrolled through her playlists and selected one called 'summertime road trip' and blasted the music for basically the entire camp to hear. she jumped up and started to 'dance' around the fire, which was more like spastic hand motions and spinning around in a circle. she was laughing hysterically when she grabbed harpers hand to join her, c'mon and join me, sir harper and bowed.

kids executed their dares, everyone acting like they were so cool for a peck on the cheek. it never failed to amaze Harper just how melodramatic most teenagers were. harper locked his eyes on the flame, falling into his thoughts and wonders. it wasn't long before sparrow had used her "banned" phone to play some music and dance around. harper smiled, tugging the blanket around his shoulders tighter as admiration grew for sparrow. it was remarkable how free spirited she could be. before he knew it she was asking him to join. harper made a coy face, trying to sink into the blanket. "uhhh... i dont reall-" she tugged him off the log and by the fire. harper jumped into the music, following the tune as he spun sparrow around and danced like a fool. it was mostly waving his arms and swaying about with the occasional hip-bump to sparrow.

the song ended and harper bowed to birdy before squatting down and poking the fire with a stick. "harper, dude, that's the most active i've ever seen you.""well, sparrow brings out the best in me i guess!" he chuckled. "but an actual dance, where I'm not jumping around like a goob? you'll never see me do it." mostly, this was because harper didn't want to dance often and didn't know how. the details that he danced like a cooked spaghetti noodle were best left unsaid to the others.

sparrow laughed at harper as they danced around like complete dorks. She has never really been this comfortable with a person before and she like it a lot! When Harper made his comment about how she brings the best out of him, she took the opportunity to give him s big ol’ Bear hug. thanks dude, that means the world. she whispered and then stole his blanket again, because nothing shows love more than stealing your best friends stuff :). It was getting really late and everyone began departing. The fire had reduced to nothing but warm embers, and the stars shown like crystals. sparrow yawned, hey harp? We should probably go to sleep, we have to leave camp early tomorrow. and leaned against his body, sleepily singing her favorite camp song.

harper couldn't help but feel sparrow hugged him and whispered her thanks just to steal his blanket. he couldn't be sure with her. he didn't much mind it, sparrow would steal his blanket all the time. the 'fratboys' of his cabin walked sparrow's cabin mates to their place, flirting and getting handsy as they left only a few people beside sparrow and harper by the remnants of the fire. the embers pulsated, trying to spark up a flame once more. no avail, as eventually the hot woodchips died off in the greyed wood. harper himself had dozed off against sparrow, his gaping mouth shut tight when startled awake by sparrows inquiry. "wh- oh, yeah," he rubbed his eyes and exhaled a prolonged yawn. He pulled his side of the blanket off his shoulders, tossing it on sparrow. he glanced at his watch, a bit surprised with how late it had gotten. "egh, yeah, we definitely should go to bed. do you want me to walk you to your cabin?" sparrow was independent, but some people didn't like walking alone at night so he figured he'd ask. harper loved it, it was quiet and allowed him to recalibrate for a minute.

sparrow yawned and nodded sleepily, yeah could you?. she got up and rubbed her eyes and handed harpers blanket back to him, stretching in the process. she yawned once more and started to sluggishly walk along, harper at her side. i think this was the best week of my life. y'all are the best, imma miss yo- wAIT, we are going to the same school! holy crap i forgot about that! dude this week just got one hundred times better. she squealed excitedly, all her exhaustion suddenly forgotten. sparrow jumped up and took off towards her dinky little cabin and called out behind her shoulder i'm going to head to bed, harper! see you tomorrow ya big goof!, she fell on the way back which gave harper a good chuckle as she called out how she 'meant to do that'. sparrow is a very unpredictable girl, her attention span is equivalent of that of a pigeon, and as hyperactive as puppy. she has tried, and failed to get herself to focus more but to no avail, she didn't mind though, everyone else did.

"okay, sounds good." harper said in a yawn while stretching. he let out a heavy, but relieved sigh as his body gave way to the pulling stretch and realeased him into a slouching position. she handed him the blanket and started walking beside him, mumbling about camp and how she'd miss harper. he knit his brows, shooting her a curious look in the hopes of reminding her that they'd be at the same school. "spar-" "wAIT" he shook his head, flashing the world a close-mouthed smile. sparrow excitedly went on a tangent, leaving harper for dead and charging for the cabins. "wait," he uttered, trying to process how exactly sparrow moved on from 'walk me home' to 'rEaDyY 2 MoShPit!!11!1!'. she fell on her way back, a laugh rolled out of Harper's mouth as she got back up and scurried away. "i think she's the big goof," He thought to himself, smiling. he took a quick glance in her general direction then walked toward his cabin, balling up the blanket around his arm.
pulling open the squeaky cabin door, harper slid into the dark room filled with frat boys and tossed his blanket under his bed. "hey harper." someone mumbled, probably half awake. "goodnight, whichever one you are." harper ran his fingers through his short hair, rubbing his palms into his eyes while simultaneously falling into his bed. he flipped off his lamp and passed out instantly.

morning rose, and harper managed to roll out of bed and make sure his stuff was together before half of the camp was up. he sat at the edge of his bed, resting his elbows on his knees while waiting for his roommates to get up and beg for breakfast. they didn't serve breakfast until the 'required waking time' and nobody was going to milk it, everyone slept until they had to get up. except for harper. he usually overslept, or underslept, leading him to wake up at four or five with nothing to do. he licked his chapped lips, then decided to get up and trudge to the door so he could at least look at a view, rather than a bunch of s'more-faced fratboys in the making. he went outside, then sat in the rocking chair on the porch, bringing one knee to his chest and letting the other one push on the ground and rock the chair. maybe it was times like these harper wished he brought more books, or knitting or some kind of time-killer. instead, he looked broodingly at the far-away lake, admiring its glass-like appearance when people weren't on it yet.

sparrow absolutely despised getting up before the required time, but her cabin mates always did. they needed to look perfect, even though their makeup almost completely camp off through out the first few hours of camp. sparrow was always the last to get the the bathroom, usually just to brush her teeth and throw on some mascara, so she didn't look like she just jumped out of a trash bin. other than that it was top knots and baggy clothes to her hearts content. since today was the last half day of camp sparrow decided to get up forty five minutes earlier than usual to pack. of course she had to fight with herself to actually get out of bed and start, but she eventually got her things somewhat together and set out to the bathroom. upon arrival she was met with a girl having a mental breakdown because her 'wing wasn't sharp enough', whatever that meant and a bunch of other girls legitimately fighting over rights to the sink. this is why i hate mornings, this right here is a pristine example. she said to no one in particular, as she attempted to make a mad dash for the sink. she somehow managed to squeeze by everyone, wash her face and make herself look decently less morbid. sparrow waited for about ten minuets for the announcement to be made over the intercoms that it was time for breakfast. when it finally came her cabin mates had emerged from the bathroom, looking like large dolls. she grimaced. why are they so perfect, bleh. she siad to herself as she waited for them to go to breakfast.

time went by faster than harper expected. he could hear chris jump out of bed and dig around his things to get packed. harper slid out of the rocking chair, then pulled open the door and went inside. harper changed into a new set of clothes, tossing yesterday's ino a grocery bag, and the grocery bag inside of his suitcase for laundry. "hey chris before you make the bathroom a complete and utter mess, can i slip in and wash my face?" chris obliged, turning to shake awake the other cabinmates. harper washed his face, brushed his teeth and then gathered his bathroom supplies before tossing them into his suitcase as well.

then came breakfast time, everyone sluggishly walked to the dining hall. some teens never showed, holding the mindset "what're they gonna do? kick me out? on the last day?" which, harper had to agree with. however, his growling stomach told him to get breakfast immediately.
xxby opening the door, he was met by a cool gust of wind from the air-conditioned building. stepping inside was a polar tundra, but a blessing since outside it was muggy and hot already. harper charged straight for a tray and stood in line, waiting to be served random goop and end up only eating the fruit and toast. then, on his way to the table he and sparrow would typically sit at, he poured himself a cup of coffee. the coffee was really only for the camp's councilors, but harper was willing to test the limits. he set down his food and drink, then sat himself down and waited for sparrow to arrive. he waited impatiently, the fact that it was the last day looming over his head. he didn't want to leave, but he also sort of did, because it was nice to shower in your own bathroom and sleep in your own bed.
