Maybe it’s that it’s the middle of the night, when I’m used to being surrounded by Sam and Jake and Aidan and pages and pages of sheet music and song lyrics, or maybe it’s just that the memory hits me out of nowhere, but all of a sudden I really miss them. My stomach clenches from the sadness, or maybe from hunger. I can never really tell when it’s hunger anymore.
I take a seat on the third log. Clarisa sits down next to Ben, but I don’t think he notices, because he’s staring at Stella. He’s actually gone from looking mildly impressed to looking like a groupie. I feel kind of embarrassed for him, to be honest.
“You okay there, Ben?” Stella asks, and Ben turns really, really red.
“Yeah,” he mutters. “This is just...way cool.”
He turns even redder.
“Everyone just ignore me,” he says.
“You flatter me,” Stella responds.
“You really do,” Mason says. Apparently he has deemed The Ridge safe, because he swings his legs over Stella’s log, sits down, and throws an arm around her shoulders.
“Mason,” Stella says flatly.
“Hmm?”
“I will light your arm on fire, I swear to God.”
“Oh, stop,” he says. He’s grinning now and keeps trying to make eye contact with her. “Isn’t this why you dragged us here in the middle of the night?” Mason continues. “For some good old unsupervised bonding, you kno—Jesus, all right!”
Mason pulls his arm away and almost falls off the log. I don’t blame him, because Stella has actually reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a lighter.
“What’s the matter?” she asks. “What’s some good old unsupervised bonding without a campfire to bond over?”
Stella is the type of girl who would probably do graffiti with Sam.
“Do you think,” Clarisa asks, “that you brought more legal or illegal things to camp?”
Stella walks to the fire pit in the center of the triangle. “Probably illegal,” she says. “But only because I brought almost every contraband item on the list.”
