I just saw him with no shirt!
I opened my eyes and saw him staring at me. He came closer and closer. His bare chest was unbelievably muscly.
'I, ermm, got your, erm, shirt. Here.' I handed it to him. But he didnt stop walking towards me.
'Say my name.' He whispered. He was so close to me. He closed the door that was behind me.
'What?' I said biting my lip.
'Say my name.' He whispered. He looked at my lips then to my eyes.
'Conor, whats going on? You come here wet, bruised and ripped and you're-' He interrupted by crashing his lips to mine. His lips digged onto mine and didn't stop for any breath.
I tried to get off but he wouldn't budge. His lips were different. It was different in every way. He didnt care that i didnt respond from the kiss.
Finally he got off. 'Condo, what are you doing?' I said. He whispered something to my ear.
'What?' I said.
His hands were around my waist and his eyes fixed on my lips.
'Lets take this to your bed.' My eyes opened. Did he just...say that he... I can't even say it!
'No.' I said gritting my teeth. But he didnt let go. 'Condo, get off me.' I said trying to pull off him but he didnt budge.
'No No No.' He dragged me to the bed. 'Condo stop it! No No.' I closed my eyes.
'Ruby, are you okay?' This voice wasn't Conors. It was Cams.
I opened my eyes. The light from the curtain made me close them again. But while my eyes were opened, I saw Cam.
'Ruby, whats wrong? I came upstairs to hear you screaming and shouting.' She said.
She was sitting beside my bed. I could see her face clearly now. Wait, that was a dream? I was dreaming?
Thank goodness. I felt relieved that it was a dream. But I felt another certain feeling too. Something i couldn't believe I was feeling. I was feeling disapointed. Like, i wanted to
dream it. But i didnt did i?
'Well?' Cam said. 'I'm really worried about you, tell me the truth Ruby. Are you okayy?'
I smiled weakly at her. 'Stop worrying about me. What are you doing here?,' I looked at my alarm. 'At 7am on a saturday morning! Cam, Its 7am! How much times do
I have to tell you that you shouldn't wake me up unless a celebrity has died or its snowing!' I screamed at her. She just looked at me like I didn't say a word.
'Can't I meet my bestfriend?' She said sadly. Wow, Ive never met a better actress than her.
I sighed. I got up from my bed and went to my wardrobe. What shall I wear?
'So why are you here? Did you have another fight with Josh?' I said.
She shook her head!'No, Ive got good news and badnews!'
I yawned. I was too tired to ask what they are. But she told me.
Well, you wouldn't believe it but I've booked us a holiday!' She screamed happily.
I screamed with her. 'OMG! A holiday! This is great, its all i need. A simple holiday to relax and set aside my concerns. Brilliant!'
'I know! I've been very worried about you Ruby. So much has happened and you still have time to smile and laugh. You deserve a holiday!' Cam said happily. She jumped up and down.
'Okay, where are we going? France on a ferry? Hawaii? London? Where?' I said eagerly.
'Well, you wouldn't believe it but we're not going to any of them places! Something even better.'
'Wow, really? I can't think of anything better. Stop making me guess and tell me!'
'Well, we are going to...' Cam said slowly. 'A Camping trip in the countryside!' She screamed happily.
My face went upside down. 'WHAT! A CAMPING TRIP?' I was horrified. That is the worsest holiday ever. Its not even a holiday! I ran to my bed and buried myself in the duvet.
'I'm not going.' I murmered. I know that Cam would make me go and I have to try to resist her charm.
'Come on Ruby! Have some adventure in your life. Its going to be great.'
'No.'
'Look, Rubes. I get that your trying to get over Condo-'
'What?' I looked at her with the worsest look I have. 'I'm already over Condo.'
She put her hand on my shoulder sympethtically. 'Sure you have Ruby. Sure you have.'
'I have. Honest. I'm single and ready to mingle. And shall i tell you how I feel?' I stood on my bed. ' I feel great!' I shouted. But for some reason, I didn't. My heart was wanting something that my brain doesn't want. Condo.
'If you feel so 'great', then lets go camping!' She shouted happily. She grabbed my hand and dragged me
'What are you doing Cam?' I said trying to get my hand off her hard grip.
'Come on, lets go!' She let of me in the kitchen. I laughed.
'I don't want to go and i'm not dressed.' I pointed at my clothes. All I was wearing was blue shorts and a thin pink top.
'You look great whatever you wear. Your really gorgeous.'
I smiled. 'Thanks.' I hugged her. 'But I still haven't changed my mind.' I was about to go upstairs to get dressed when there was a knock on the door.
'Oh, Man! Who's here at 7am?' I said angrily. I hope Cam didn't invite Josh because he is really good at persuading me.
'I'll get it.' Cam said. I quickly grabbed her hand. The bell rang again.
'Are you stupid? If you called Josh then I-'
'Its not Josh, trust me.' She said. Before I could ask what she meant, the door opened and in came 2 guys.
My mouth dropped to the floor. In my kitchen, on a Saturday, at 7am, in walked Rick and Matt Riches.
I was speechless. Maybe because everything unexpected has happened or maybe because I was so tired.
'Hey Ruby.' Rick said smirking. 'Nice legs.'
'What?!' I screamed. 'What the biscuit are you guys doing here?'
They laughed. 'You haven't heard?' Matt said. 'We are going camping with you guys.'
'WE?' I shouted. 'WE are not going anywhere. But YOU are going go out of that door.'
'Can't do that Ruby.' They said cheekily.
'I can't believe this.' I said muffling my hair up. 'Do whatever you want. I'm going back to sleep.' I was about to go when Rick stopped me.
'Wait. Your not going?' Rick said.
I shook my head. 'Nope. I hate camping.'
'But we thought you were going..' Matt said frowning. Matt and Rick looked at Cam. Cam made a face. Rick whispered something to Cam and then
Cam said something back. From their face, it looked like they were hiding something.
'Hey! What are you doing?' I said angrily.
'Nothing Ruby. Why don't you go asleep?' Cam said. She looked distracted. I couldn't be bothered asking her whats up so i just went to my room and collapsed on the bed.
Chapter 10: Cassie's P.O.V

'Whats taking them so long?' I said. I bit my lip. What if they couldn't convince Ruby? She has to come to this camping trip so that she and Conor could come closer.
'Cassie, I really don't want to go.' Conor said. I sighed.
'Conor, you promised!' I said. We were in a coach that was going to take up to camping and we were outside Ruby's house. For some reason, she should have came out but she hasn't.
'Yes, I promised that I will give you one wish. Okay, taking me camping is fine but why with Ruby?' Conor said angrily.
'Don't tell me your going to break your promise.' I said, with my puppy face. It always works.
He sighed. 'I don't know what your thinking but you're just going to make it the most uncomfortable and weird trip for me and Ruby.' He slumped down in his seat.
'Hey, what are you guys talking about?' Seth said. He was my cousin and I don't know if I made a good decision for him to come. Conor told me that Ruby was
falling for Seth. I hope nothing happens.
'Nothing.' I mumbled. 'AAAAAHH!! Whats taking them so long?' I shouted.
'We're here!' Cam shouted. I smiled with happiness. They all came and sat in their seats. There was Cam, Josh and Sam. And Rick and Matt came in with their bags.
'Awesome! But where's Ruby?' I said, worried.
Cam whispered. 'Plan B. Mrs Williams is trying to convince her emotionally. I don't know if its going to work. Ruby is very stubborn. But lets see.'
I bit my lip harder.
'Hey man! Whats up?' Rick said to Sam.
'Seriously, you've got to stop acting like that.' Sam said annoyed.
'Woah, someone is in a bad mood.' Matt said. Sam just looked out the windows.
'Hi, I'm Seth. Conor's cousin. You look pretty.' Seth said to Cam.
Cam giggled. 'I'm Cam. Ruby's friend.'
'And I'm Josh.' Josh said harshly. 'Cam's boyfriend.'
I rolled my eyes. Why can't everyone get along? And where is Ruby?'
A tear went down my cheek. What if she doesn't come? There was no point for this camping trip if she doesn't come.
'Cassie? Why are you crying?' Conor said worriedly.
Everyone on the coach looked at me. Okay, I've got a plan. If theres anyone who could make Ruby come, its Conor.
'Its Ruby.' I said dramatically. 'I really want her to come, Conor.'
I cried. 'Cassie. You can't force people to come.' Seth said.
'I know but shes the only friend I have.' Cassie said.
'Am I invisible?' Cam said annoyed. Oops.
'If you really want her to come....' Conor said. Yes! It worked. 'I'll go try. But don't expect me to convince her.'

Chapter 11: Ruby's P.O.V

'Mum, for the last time, I don't want to go. Specially when I found out that my ex, yes my ex! is coming too. The same ex who cheated on me.' I said looking in the fridge for something to eat. I sighed.
'But Darling-'
'Oh, another thing Mum, your supposed to stop me from going to the trip. I still feel ill.'
'I know but Ruby, you need this. I'm your mother and I know when your sad. Since the break up, you've been in your room for a long time
and never hardly gone out for fun.'
My stomach growled. Why isn't there anything to eat?' I looked inside the freezer.
After a while, I heard my mum sigh and then go to her room.
'What is wrong with everyone?' I mumbled.
I heard the front door open. Must be Josh begging for me to come. 'For the last time, I'm not going!' I shouted.
'Are you sure?' I heard a guy say. His voice was so fimiliar. I slowly turned around to see Conor sitting in my
