I transferred to Garret's huge tent because we're already cramped inside Ariel's tent since Justin wanted to share tents with Kevin. Garrett's tent even had a divider for the entrance and then another cover for the area where we sleep and almost all of his teammate's bags were there because it has a big space.
"Sorry about the mess." Garret said as he pushed some of the bags with his foot to the corner. "And please feel at home."
I smiled. "It's fine. Thanks for having me here." I placed my bag beside their bags.
I was amazed because it also has a window. I unzipped it to open the window and I was surprised when I saw Dean outside and our eyes met making me closed it again. I just realized what I did was rude but it was his fault for surprising me and I kept on seeing him everywhere.

Before our dinner, our coaches asked to look for firewoods for the bonfire in the middle of our tents that was formed in circle.
They were playing around with the twigs and I threw the last firewood that I gathered from the forest area of the site. I turned around and I was surprised to see Dean and he was bringing a huge firewood on his shoulder. He threw it on the pile of firewoods and clapped his hands to brush off the dusts.
"Hey." He said when I remained standing and looking at him. I wasn't aware that I was staring at him and it woke me up.
"Uh, hey." I said.
"You were that weak kid who passed me the ball." He said and I crossed my brows at him.
"But I'm not as weak as you." I said and he quirked the side his lips up making me feel so pissed off.
I walked towards my friends because I didn't want to make the rest of my day bad because of him. Someone gripped my shoulder form the back and massaged it. It was Felix and they way he pressed his fingers on my back muscle felt so good.
"Did I hit a spot?" He asked and I chuckled as I nodded my head.
"You f*****g did." I said and he chuckled and stopped massaging me. I frowned as he wrapped his arm on the back of my shoulder and leaned his head closer to mine.
"I just noticed that that Dean keep on staring at you." He said making me frown.
"What the hell are you talking about."
"Yeah." Justin agreed. "You sure you're going to sleep there? They're going to do bad things to you." He chuckled and I narrowed my eyes at him.
In fact, I was relieved that Garret offered me to sleep in his tent because Justin sleeps like the hands of a clock and he kept on leaning his leg on top of you. Sleeping with him was a nightmare.
"Yes because you're there." I said and he laughed so loud. I know he knew already what I was talking about.
"Dude, don't you want to sleep with me?" He asked and I sarcastically laughed at him.
"I'd rather sleep with the mosquitos outside." I said and he laughed.
"Ouch." He said and I chuckled.

I went to Garret's tent to sleep and few of them were also there including Dean and our eyes met when as I went inside. I couldn't deny that he has the looks but he look so arrogant at the same time and I hate seeing his face.
"My visitor's already here!" Garret announced making me smile.
Garret stood up from the circle and placed his arm around the back of my shoulder and pulled me close to their circle.
"You don't have to be shy like a cute girl. We're all gentlemen here." He said.
"I'm not shy." I said and he nodded as he motioned me to sit beside him on the circle and Dean was sitting opposite to me. He was looking at me and I looked away first.
I sometimes caught him looking at me but I knew it was just a coincidence. People just want to give meaning to every little things especially my friends.
"This is Ned." Garret introduced me to his friends and I already know mostly of their names.
"Yeah, we know." I think it was the one who they called Jude said. "Nice to meet you, I'm Jude." He was one of the highest player in his team.
Leo, Lukas and Tristan also introduced themselves and then it was Dean's turn.
"Dean." He said and he also held his hand for a handshake and I took his hand so I wouldn't look like I was rude and I was planning on snatching my hand immediately when I felt him squeezed my hand and he was holding my hand longer than necessary making me frown and pulled it back.
"That's our best player." Jude said and I stared at Dean and he was also staring at me.
"Don't praise me too much, I don't want him to think that I'm boasting about it." Dean said. I know he doesn't announce his achievements but his friends did just like me yet he still look so arrogant to me.
They mostly talked about basketball stuffs, video games and girls and I sometimes also blend in with their conversations but I still feel uncomfortable for I didn't know the reason and I think it was because of Dean. It was weird.

Dinner time and I ate with my teammates. When the sun started setting, we arranged the firewood properly and lit it. We watched the fire slowly devours the woods until the fire became bigger.
The warmth of the fire was soothing from the cold night and we stayed outside for a while before we decided to go back to our tents to sleep early because we have to wake up early tomorrow.
I went to Garret's tent and I was surprised to hear a low moan from inside.
"Yes, that spot. Harder." Someone moaned and all my hair stood up. I didn't know what to do but I still peeked inside and I saw Earl laying on his stomach and Garret was sitting on his back and he was massaging Earl.
I was relieved to see them like that because my mind was thinking something different. Of course, there was no way they're going to do it here. Are they even a couple? I noticed that they're so close but I wasn't sure if they're a couple. They're more like a sibling since their physical feature were the same that was why their called them twins.
Garret saw me and he motioned his hand to enter inside. "Come in."
"Hey, Ned." Earl said when he turned his head to look at me.
"Hello." I said and Earl groaned from the massage. That looks so good.
"How much is the massage?" I said and Garret chuckled.
"Your virginity." Garret answered and Earl chuckled and it took me back before I chuckled.
I wasn't against gays and lesbians, but I couldn't find myself involving in those things.
"Don't tell me you already had Earl's virginity?" I said and they were silent for a moment.
"That's a secret." Garret said and Earl shook his head.
"Don't believe him." Earl chuckled as he pointed his thumb to Garret who was grinning widely.
Well, that was fishy.
"We should sleep early because we need to wake up early tomorrow." Earl said as he motioned his hand for Garret to get off him and Garret stood up.
"Yeah." Garret agreed.
