Dusk begins to settle in

The less athletic members of the group, Violet, Angie and Ash, finally heached the hilltop and dramatically collapsed to the ground. ?Come on, let's set up the tents.? Rowan said. Nobody moved. ?Alright, then me and Lily will do it.? Lily bristled at being volunteered like that, but she complied anyway, beginning to remove the bigger of the two tents from Rowan's pack.

?Makes sense, since it was your idea to come here in the first place,? Angie said, still laying in the grass. Rowan wanted to snap back, but held his tongue since he didn't want to ruin his chance at a threesome.

Shortly thereafter, the tent was well on its way and the tired members of the group seemed to have recovered their energy. "Ash, you should go start gathering firewood." Rowan said. Ash waived his hand dismissively. "And get a lot, we're gonna have a huge bonfire tonight. Take Hazel with you." Ash caught on to what Rowan was really saying.

Hazel was suspicious but went along with it, Rowan was the expert on camping after all. Just as soon as they travelled enough into the woods that they were out of sight and earshot of the campsite he pulled a couple of beers out of his hoodie pocket. "Hazel, do you want a beer?" He asked.

"No." She replied, coldly.

"Why not? It'll help you relax and have fun," He said.

"Did Lily even tell you anything about me?" Hazel asked, visibly annoyed.

"Yeah," Ash said, "She told me you're a great soccer player, and a great friend and that high school boys are intimidated by you."

Hazel scoffed. "I'm not stupid, I know what you're trying to do. And I'm saving myself for marriage."

"Oh no, you've got the wrong idea," Ash instinctively tried to reach out and grab Hazel's shoulder as he said this, as a means of reassuring her.

She pushed him away. "Try to **** me and I'll kick your ass!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Nobody's **** anybody." Ash now took several steps away from the deranged bitch his cousin had tried to set him up with.

"Whatever," she said. "Go get some firewood." Then she walked away.
