That blue sedan, though.

Zack Bishop smoothly parked his car in front of the cabin, a space over from Heather's, and grunted as Chloe, one of his best friends since as long as he could remember, slapped him on the back.

"Let's get moving, boys!" she said in a chipper voice, clearly excited to get away from home and school for a while. Gavin smiled a little at her enthusiasm, while Zack sighed deeply. His ex-girlfriend, Lisa, was the first to move out of the car. The pretty, honey-skinned Latina managed to make some light conversation with Zack, Chloe, and Gavin, but it was fairly obvious to anyone in the car why she was there. Things had gotten awkward ... fast.

"Y'know, we're not mules, you don't have to whip us."

"Have to?" Chloe slid out of the car as she answered Zack's question, smiling as she felt the spring air break on her face. After being cramped up in a car, stretching her long, powerful legs felt good. They'd always felt better moving than standing still, even since she was a toddler, which is probably why she'd focused so much of her free time picking up hobbies to use them. All the same, the sweater and cargo pants that were probably a bit much for how warm the day would get signaled right away that she wasn't in any hurry to show them off.

Zack followed behind, popping the trunk as he stood and observed the cabin for a second before heading to unpack. By the time he reached the back, Lisa was already moving to the porch with her things. As expected, Chloe met him there and helped him haul out their bags and a few they'd had the space to help other people bring. His choice of outfit for the day was a little more practical, a simple, brown jacket over the t-shirt for some long-defunct band and blue jeans. Chloe might have considered something more in that vein, but she really didn't like people staring at her. And they always seemed to when she gave them the chance, presumably because of her large breasts. Zack and Gavin had both tried to help her confidence in this regard before, but generally met with failure. The three were extremely close, so she knew it hurt them a little to see her feeling so ****. But at least it was easy to shake off for now, with the excitement of the trip looming!

"Oof!" Gavin grunted as he joined them, hauling a particularly large suitcase out of the back that had some emergency supplies Zack thought it'd be a good idea to have along. The bespectacled boy was a head or so taller than Chloe, but not as prone to athleticism as either of his best friends and certainly not to the degree of, say, Brandon or Madison. Still, he tried to make up for being slow on the draw by grabbing the heaviest thing, which was sweet, if misguided. Chloe helped steady it for him, but didn't take it, knowing he'd just get all flushed and guilty. "Thanks. I really don't want to start this with a broken foot."

"Well, just let us know so we can schedule when we do break your foot for you," Zack teased, drawing a full smile from his reticent friend. Chloe looked between them for a second, swearing something was off. She usually knew whatever Zack or Gavin knew about their lives, and the feeling that something else was going on had her tilt her head.

"It's nothing. Guy stuff," Gavin explained away, waving his hand noncommitally in front of his face. "Don't worry about it. And also, don't break my foot?"

"No promises!" Zack answered, dragging a few bags up to the porch.

"Guy stuff is code for girl stuff, yeah?" Chloe asked as they walked slightly behind Zack, nudging Gavin very gently. "You liiiiiiiiiiiiiiike someone?"

"Chloe ... it's ... look, it's complicated, I can tell you later, if you want." Chloe raised her eyebrow sharply, causing Gavin to roll his eyes. "The details, I will tell you. Of course it's code for girl stuff."

"Wait, actually?" she gasped, a bit surprised. The last time Gavin had a serious girlfriend was in middle school, and she honestly couldn't remember the last time he had a crush on someone worth getting nervous about. Between everyone here today (and maybe people later? she'd heard, but no one would nail down if that was happening or no), she could see the poor boy being intimidated by any of them. Heather was a bombshell with more than a few notches in her belt, plus very publicly no intention of dating anyone. Ashley was with Brandon, and moreover, Brandon. The boy could get ... defensive over girls. It was cute sometimes, but very irritating at others, she could only imagine how much so with Madison. Speaking of a whirlwind tearing through a cabbage patch, Chloe didn't know many more intense people than the pretty brunette twin and imagined Gavin would just be completely steamrolled. Delilah, very much the same. Victoria and herself were the only people she totally ruled out, between Vicky not being who he'd consult Zack's opinion over, given Zack's own feeling for her, and herself ... yeah, that just wasn't happening. It'd feel too ****-y, even if it wasn't literally that. Gavin's face dropped, clearly a little intimidated by the idea of his extremely energetic friend pressing him when whoever it was either currently sat in the house or was about to pull up. "Later, I heard you! It's just ... exciting! This whole trip kinda' is. But everything's going to be fine, let me know if you need the XX side of things, 'kay?"

"No, I know." Gavin lurched forward and hauled the case on to the porch, where, gratefully, the wheels had no soft dirt to bite into and get stuck now. "If you bug me later tonight, I'll give you the rundown. It's not very exciting, but I do feel kind of bad not telling you. I just ... I didn't want anyone to know, one felt like enough ..."

"And Zack's doing the crushing hard thing right there with you, and only one of us has had a steady partner in a whole damn year, I'm not mad, sweetie," Chloe answered, throwing her arms around Gavin in a quick, but tight hug. Chloe was naturally a hugger, but felt too awkward about certain ... obstacles in the way to do it to anyone but Zack and Gavin outside of her family. He squeezed her back, sounding relieved. "Just try to have fun! Plus, I'm guessing she's here, so maybe have a lot of fun?"

"I'm not getting my hopes up," he answered with a shrug as Zack rejoined them, standing slightly over the other two from the porch.

"Hey, hope springs eternal, and it's spring break!" Zack jumped off the porch next to them, grinning broadly. "Tell me if you need backup, whatever's going on."

Gavin opened his mouth to say something, but as he did, the final car pulled up and Heather Ravers, their hostess, emerged from the cabin. The cheer captain wore a tight, black tank top and matching jeans, absolutely skintight, and Chloe blushed for a moment. They were nearly the same bra size and both fit, but Chloe would kill a man with a shovel for Heather's confidence to do what she wanted to when she wanted it. As Madison, Brandon, Kevin, Delilah, and Ashley moved up to the cabin, Vicky followed Heather out. The lithe blonde girl made Zack's eyes bug for a second, and Chloe had to stop herself from giggling when he looked away from the sight of her in a very sexy halter top to compensate for the overreaction. It was Chloe's turn to feel exposed next, however, when Heather's cousin came out and sat on the porch, plopping a heavy bag down beside him. The flashing blue eyes, the smile, the spiky, blonde hair, and certainly how he held his tall, wiry body brought a few thoughts to mind for Chloe she only barely tempered with Heather's warning about how much of a horndog he was.

"Alright, losers!" Heather called out, clapping her hands together and smiling confidently. "Welcome to Spring Break, Ravers' Cabin Edition!" Brandon and Kevin let out a short whoop while some of the group let out a small, polite clap. "You know, lighter than I wanted, but I'll take it! Remember, this is our last spring break as high schoolers, don't waste it trying to be mature adults. Cut loose, there's no one around for miles to bug you. First things first, though, rooms: I'm sure you guys figured we don't have the space for everyone to get one-for-one, so I tried to account for boarding by what I know about you." This comment pulled a sly smile from everyone on the cheerleader squad, as well as Chloe and Lisa, more than familiar with Heather's seemingly-bottomless pool of knowledge about anyone at their school. Chloe in particular mused if she was doing the boarding to avoid trouble or stir it up. Knowing her, either was likely.

"So, Gavin, Zack, Chloe, you guys have slept together before?" Heather asked, causing Gavin's face to stretch into one of absolute horror while Zack laughed a very little out loud. "Like, sleepover shit, but no one's judging. I put you three in ... room near the wine cellar. There's a whole map pinned in each of the room, so you'll know where your closest bathroom is. Kevin, Kurt, Delilah, I put you guys in the other room with twin beds, by laundry. Think you can behave yourself, Kurt?"

"I'm offended," the blonde college student responded, placing a hand on his chest in mock mortification. "But also irrelevant. I'm breaking out the tent and staying outside. Much as I'd love to catch up with Kevin," he nodded to the basketball captain, who returned the gesture. The two of them were friends before Kurt graduated, having managed the basketball team for two seasons while Kevin was in rotation, "I'd prefer a little privacy, so they can have the room to themselves."

"Well, mercy for Delilah, then," Heather sighed out, flashing a quick glance to Del. The two weren't the best of friends, namely due to their teams' rivalry, but also more because Heather and Delilah approached life radically differently. Chloe was well-aware that Del thought Heather was an airhead who coasted through life on money, while Heather thought Del had a stick up her ass and an intellectual high-horse you could win races with. All the same, the small snipe passed without incident. "Brandon, Ashley, I put you two in the lake room, you're welcome," she gave a small bow, Ashley responded with her own cheer this time, Brandon notably becoming just slightly flush in the face at the noise. "I'm taking the cot in the spare, so no one has to take the bullet for you two pounding it out. That's leaves Vicky, Mads, and Lisa in the king. Think you girls can share a bed without getting into trouble?"

"Vicky can at least, so that should be fine," Lisa yelled back to her as she threw her arms around Madison from behind. The fierce, short cheerleader let out a quick snort and a laugh as her best friend lifted her legs up to her waist in a tacit demand she carry the little Latina on the way to check out the room.

"Consenting adults! Okay, everybody, grab your shit and get settled in! But not too settled, I expect to see your asses and other various body parts down by the lake in ... thirty or less. Don't keep me waiting!" With that, everyone moved to run inside, quickly spreading through the house. Some of them had been there before, but others were marveling at the design and amenities, talking loudly amongst each other as they set up. In a few minutes, it seemed like everyone was about ready to head outside.
