A group to the waterfall, another one to the cave

“Guys,” Heather took a step forward to the sign. “The sign pretty much tells us everything we need to know, so who’s going where?”

Brandon and Ashley immediately wanted to go see the waterfall, with Victoria quickly deciding to join them, which in turn made the decision for Zack as well. Just because she wanted to watch Zack and Victoria closely, Heather decided to join the four of them on the hike to the waterfall.

Gavin thought that going to the cave would be interesting, so he chose that path. Chloe wanted to go to the waterfall, but she also wanted to clear the air with Gavin, therefore she made the decision of joining him at the cave. She figured that she could go to the waterfall later.

“Hey, Chloe,” Heather called her out. “You and Gavin be careful out there, my friend that works here as a ranger told me yesterday that there has been a few bear sightings near the cave lately.”

“Thanks for the warning, Heather,” The redhead smiled at her. “We’ll be sure to run if we stumble into one.”

After one last picture taken by Heather of the rest of the group standing by the sign, they split into the groups defined earlier and left. Kurt went after Chloe and Gavin, he had wisely kept his mouth shut when they were deciding who would go on each trail, so that none of the other guys decided to go to the cave as well to protect Chloe from him.

He smirked as he followed the two of them, he would get laid even if it had to happen in the middle of the woods.

Zack and Brandon took the lead while the girls fell a few steps behind them on the way to the waterfall. Heather was making a point to stop them every once in a while to take pictures.

“It’s because of the memories,” She justified when they asked. “No one knows when we’ll be able to take a trip like this again, just the seven of us.”

They were walking for more than half an hour by now, the waterfall being farther down the trail than Heather remembered. The trail wasn’t too much wide and there were more than a few branches getting on their faces.

“Have you come to this waterfall before, Heather?” Ashley asked, her feet slowly getting tired from all the hiking.

“Once or twice,” The brunette answered. “But I admit that I don’t know if this is the right trail.”

A collective groan was heard through the path at that, and four disbelieving faces turned to her. The busty cheerleader laughed.

“Just kidding guys, we’re almost there.” Heather chuckled. “Gods, you should’ve seen your faces!”

Just as Heather said, about five minutes later they got onto a wider trail that split into two. One path led up and if they followed it, they would end up going to the mountains. The other one descended into a small lake which they already could see behind a few trees. The loud sound of the waterfall could be heard as well.

Heather grinned. “We’re here, let’s go!”

Zack and Brandon watched as the girls rushed ahead of them to the lake’s path. They followed them to a small beach that circled a little less than half of the lake, the other bigger part being surrounded by a rock formation that was more like a really tall wall, from where water was falling down onto the lake creating a beautiful waterfall.

“Heather, this place’s amazing.” Victoria remarked, her green eyes sweeping through everything.

The other three couldn’t agree more, it was secluded enough and the waterfall provided a breathtaking scenario. They started taking off their clothes, since they were already wearing their swimsuits beneath their regular clothes. Heather, on the other hand, had to hide behind a few trees and bushes to change, she had come wearing her underwear and her bikini was inside her backpack.

Zack and Brandon were already in the water while Victoria and Ashley were folding their clothes at the small beach. Zack couldn’t help but look at Ashley for a few seconds, she was wearing a conservative dark blue bikini that left just enough of her pale body on display. His mind gave him a brief flash of her naked body from when he saw her having sex with Brandon the previous day. However, it was when his eyes fell on Victoria that he felt truly captivated.

The green eyed blonde was wearing a one piece dark green swimsuit which tied at the back of her neck, leaving her upper back bare. To the blue eyed boy, Victoria never looked so sexy since the day that he met her.

“So,” Brandon swam up to him. “Got anywhere with Victoria or Heather yet?”

Zack sighed. “Heather is a puzzle that I’m having a hard time understanding,” He confessed. “Seriously, the more I think about it, I can’t figure out how a relationship with her would be like.”

Brandon chuckled. “Yeah, I don’t like to badmouth people, especially one of our friends but,” He made a pause. “The way she’s rowdy and likes to flaunt herself, only guys like our dear friend Kurt could handle her. Although, I do think that you have a chance of taming the beast.”

“Thanks for the vote of confidence,” Zack laughed nervously. “I wouldn’t say that she flaunts herself, though. I think she’s just comfortable with her body and doesn’t have any issues in showing it."

At that exact moment, Heather came out from behind the trees wearing a tight black bikini that looked like it would snap any moment now with the pressure of her heavy big breasts. She joined the other girls at the beach. Zack immediately felt his cock straining at the sight and it seemed that even Brandon did a double take as well when he saw her.

“See?” Brandon nodded towards the girls. “That’s what I was saying about flaunting. She hits the guy hard showing her body, almost giving him **** at all but total submission.”

Zack grinned. “I don’t know, man, I find it to be sexy as hell,” He said, his eyes then drifting from Heather to Victoria. “Victoria too, in a different way, hot without showing too much.”

“Speaking of Victoria,” Brandon turned to his friend. “Made any progress on her?”

“We’ve talked a little on the trip back to town yesterday, but then she avoided me for the rest of the day,” Zack answered, he decided that it was best to hide the doorway incident from Brandon. “But, I think that I got through to her by offering to switch rooms last night.”

Brandon smiled. “Well, let’s hope so.” He said, looking wistfully at Ashley.

That didn’t go unnoticed by Zack. “Something wrong, Brandon?”

Brandon sighed deeply. “Alright, here it goes,” He said. “I think Ashley’s going to break up with me.”

“What?!” Zack whispered in shock. He had to stifle the need to yell though, if there was any constant in their group was that he and Chloe were best friends and that Brandon and Ashley were a couple. “Why?”

The other guy shrugged. “I don’t know for sure, but she’s been a little weird lately,” He explained. “I already told you that she started wanting lots of sex and teasing me in random places, right? But there are nights when she doesn’t want sex and I can see that she’s troubled, but she try to pass it off as a headache or something similar.”

“Well, maybe she does have a headache,” Zack opined. “That doesn’t say that she wants to break up with you.”

“I hope you’re right, man,” Brandon sighed again. “But I can’t shake off this feeling that she’s getting tired of me and wondering about other guys.”

“Let’s say that it’s true,” Zack said. “What do you think about it?”

“I’m not gonna lie and say that I don’t wonder about other girls too, you know?” Brandon replied. “Though, it’s a little strange to think about life without Ash.”

“Well, you better get used to it soon, even if you guys don’t break up,” Zack advised. “With the two of you going to different colleges, it’s going to be really hard to keep a long distance relationship.”

Their conversation was interrupted by the girls getting into the water and swimming towards them. Heather and Ashley had a mischievous smile on their faces while Victoria swam a few feet behind them.

“We’ve had a great idea,” Ashley announced. “Let’s play a game!”
