Camp Closeted

Chapter 21: Not a Party Person

Benny awkwardly stood at least 3 ft away from me as his mouth moved side to side, his arms crossed

as he looked like he was thinking about what to say to me.

I began to button my shirtless body up as I stared at him, amused. I felt a rising temptation in laughing

at the awkwardness but he finally broke the silence.

"I'm about to do something I've never actually done in my whole life before, so you should feel

somewhat thankful." Benny's voice was low as his eyes shifted left and right, not meeting my deep

gaze. "I'm going to apologize." I rapidly snorted, making him unconsciously crack a smile.

Benny quickly tried to hide his smile with a serious look, only making the both of us explode out in

complete laughter. "I hate you, let me speak." Benny's hands went over his face as I began to notice

how taller I was than him. "Ima keep it real, I overreacted yesterday. And I guess I was just annoyed

that I liked Miles for so long and he noticed you before me. So, sorry I guess." He shrugged.

"Don't even apologize." I smiled as he playfully threw me a disgusted as I hugged him, his head

forcefully going against my chest. "I was so scared to lose you as a friend Benny. Not even going to lie,

you're the very first genuine friend I've ever made in my life." I whispered.

"Well you're genuine friend is suffocating." Benny coughed into my shirt as his face was completely

buried in it because of my tight hug around him. I chuckled deeply as he pushed me away. "Damn boy

what you got on? You smell like a full course meal, almost made me forget about Miles for a second."

"You like it?" I asked about my cologne. "I wanted to dress casual but smell classy since I don't know

how the bonfire is gonna be like."

Benny threw his head back as he evilly cackled. "Oh honey it's gonna be musty as hell. Logan and I

made it sound like everyone's just gonna bring out their camping chairs then peacefully sit and watch

the bonfire from afar when that's literally not the situation, at all."

My eyebrows raised as Benny continued speaking. "Okay so what the bonfire is, is this major event

that every single camp around here has to do and Camp Closeted is the first one to host it this year. It

means a lot of hot ass people from other camps are gonna come here for it."

My mouth was left widened as I finally replied. "Wait, so it's not just a huge relaxing hang out?" I asked.

Benny waved his hands no as I sat down in bed, rethinking my choice in going or not. "Oh bitch It's far

from a relaxing hangout. It's basically a huge event where people get fucked up, dance all up on each

other, make out, shit some even leave and do the dirty." My mouth widened even farther as I only knew

about this now.

"B-Benny I've never been to a place like that before." My voice was shocked as I had to sit down on my

bed. "I don't think I wanna go anymore."

"What?" Benny snapped his neck back at me as his lips crinkled in confusion. "Why?"

"I'm not a party person." I shrugged, anxiously biting my lip as he let out a loud groan in annoyance.

"Micah how do you know you're not a party person if you've never been to a party before?" He asked.

"Honey you need to go out and live! Just stay with Logan the whole night and you'll be fine."

"Is there gonna be alcohol?" I ran my hand through my hair as I laid back against my bed.

"Knowing Cadence is gonna be there, most likely alcohol and weed." Benny replied, making me tiredly

sigh. "Not to be a bad friend or anything, but why not get fucked up right?"

"Benny!" I half-laughed. "You want me to do both alcohol and weed? What the hell."

"I'm not saying do them both. Look I'm just saying, if it comes down to it, whatever happens after you

choose to get fucked up, will make one hell of a story." He grinned, making me laugh as I looked to the

side.

"You seem to know what you're talking about." I laughed as he shyly shrugged. "Do you relate to this

somehow?" I teased him as he shyly hid his face.

"Listen, I may or may not have been getting too turnt every bonfire and ending up inside a bush the

next day but that's not the point." I immediately exploded in a cackle as he innocently shrugged again.

"Oh my god Benny, you're secretly so bad!" I shook my head at him inn disbelief. "You've woken up

inside a bush before?"

"Yup, inside a big ass bush." He softly responded, looking around in hopes no one hears him. I

remained quiet, trying to imagine Benny inside a bush, which made him speak out again. "Don't judge

me! I see those eyes!" He widened his mouth at me. "Logan is a bad influence, honestly, truly."

"Okay please don't tell him I asked you this, but do you think he likes me?" I asked quietly.

"Well Logan never told me to keep it as a secret so ima just tell you that all he had told me about you

was he thinks your cute." He breathed, sitting besides me on the bed. "It's obvious he's hella thirsty for

you though. I see him looking at you all the time!"

"I see it too!" I exclaimed our eyes meeting. "I just really only like Logan as a friend though. He's cute

but I don't like him that way."

"Cus both of y'all are bottoms." Benny casually let out making me nudge him on the shoulder.

"I am not." I felt my cheeks anxiously heat up as I wasn't sure if Benny was right or not.

Benny threw me a funny look. "Bitch please, you so are, and it's not a bad thing." He quickly looked

down. "What is this?"

My mouth slightly widened as he pulled out a note that was inside my thick blanket. "Is that another

note?" I furrowed my eyebrows down.

"What?" He asked curiously. "You mean you've been sent more than 1?" He straightened out the

crumpled paper as I sighed.

"Well yea, this is only my second note." I watched him straighten it out. "I never see anyone leave it

though, it's so weird."

"Seeing you very soon, whether you like it or not." -Lover Boy

"Damn!" Benny covered his mouth with his fist as he threw his body back on the bed. "He's trying to set

up a dick appointment Pretty Little Liars style!" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Benny it's not." I pulled the other note up and gave it to Benny to read. "This person is literally

threatening my life." I half-laughed.

"I doubt it's anything serious." Benny simpered, crumpling the note and throwing it behind him.

"Benny can I ask you a question?" I quickly got up, straightening out my shirt as he looked at me. "I

know I might be a basic shallow Ken doll, but do you think I'm at least decent looking?"

Benny threw me a are-you-serious look as I smirked at him. "You know what ima keep it real with you, © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

you are fine." He spoke again, probably noticing my smirk widen. "Now Micah don't let it get to your

head now because you know I can and will drag your ass to hell if your head get big."

I nodded slowly. "Yes mom." I teased, rolling my eyes at him as I looked out the window to see the

sunset.
