When we got back to camp, I sat down on my bed in our room, and Kait started to dig through
her drawers to find something more comfortable to wear. I flipped on the TV and changed it to
channel 23, which I had learned was Mtv. Total Request was on. I watched the end of Meriah
Carey's 'My All'. Kait found something to wear, and went into the bathroom to change. She
came out wearing a pair of black ADIDAS windpants and some shirt underneath Zac's hood.
As she sat on the floor near the TV a new video was being announced.
"And number one with 20,657 emails, and 78% of all of the phone calls, Hanson with
Weird, for the 27th time!" Carson Daly said.
"Wow, they're number one again!" I voice. I start to watch the video. "I can't believe
that that's my boyfriend!!"
"Where did you guys go yesterday?"
"To talk."
"I'm supposed to believe THAT??" Kait teases.
"Shut up, all we did was talk." I throw a pillow at her head.
"Why?"
"Cuz Walker didn't think that we knew each other well enough to be going out. He was
right though. There was lots I had to learn about Tay, and he barely knew anything about me.
So are you and Zac going out yet?"
"No."
"You should ask him out."
"No, I don't think so."
"Suit yourself. I guess it would be kind of weird having a boyfriend who's younger than
you, and taller than you!" I tease her. She throws the pillow back at my head.
"Shut up!! Are you EVER going to stop teasing me about being short?"
"No. You should've never told me that you were only 5'1"!*"
"You are not funny at ALL! You're shorter than Tay, so there!"
"Tay is also 5'9"!"
"So?"
"So, Zac is only 5'3" or so. I'm 5'4", so I'm shorter than Tay, I'll admit THAT
one, but he's also a year and a few months older than me!"
"You're still not funny!"
"I know. But it's still funny teasing you. Do you realize that since we came here we
haven't had a chance to talk by ourselves?"
"Yeah I realized that. Have you and Tay kissed yet?"
"Yeah. Have you and Zac?"
"We aren't going out."
"So? you could've still kissed."
"We almost did yesterday. When you and Tay were cleaning, we were watching TV
and we were sitting right next to each other. I felt like someone was staring at me, and I turned
to look at Zac and our faces were this close," she holds her hands about a centimeter apart. "Just
when I thought we were going to lean in and kiss each other, he turned his head. I almost turned
him back towards me and kissed him, but I didn't." She looked down at her hands.
"There's more, tell me."
"Huh?"
"Tell me the rest, I know you, you're keeping something to yourself."
"Well, tonight he kissed me."
"He did? When?"
"When we were sitting on that ledge thingy. After he gave me his coat to wear. Right
after they called the boarding thing. He said, 'I gotta go now.' and then he said my name, and
when I turned, he kissed me and ran off."
"So that's why you were spacy since then. And I've noticed that you haven't taken that
coat off yet." I smiled at her.
"I'm cold."
"Yeah right."
"I AM!!"
"You lie so bad!" I threw the pillow at her head again. She threw it back at me.
"You know what I just realized?"
"What?"
"We know where the key to their room is." Without another word, we both jumped up
and ran to the door. We flew out into the hall and pulled the key off of the back of the sign on
Tay and Zac's door. Kait unlocked it and we went in. "I feel really bad doing this."
"Me too. But haven't you ever wondered what's in a guy's room?" I turned on the light
and locked the door.
"What exactly are we going to do now that we're in here?"
"I don't know. Look around I guess."
"Okay." She opens the closet door.
"Look, it's Tay's notebook. Should I open it?"
"Sure, why not?" She pulls out one of the shirts. "This is a cool shirt. I wonder why
they never wear it. I'll have to tell them to sometime."
"No, don't do that! They'll know we were in here!" I open Tay's notebook and look at
the drawings he has. He has one of everybody in his family. Even Zoe. There was a picture of
the band, and some other people who I didn't recognize. "Wow. Tay's really good. Look at some
of these! You can tell who they are!" Kait takes the notebook and looks at the drawings. I go
over to one of their dressers. On top of it is another notebook. I opened it and read from one of
the pages. "Hey, today we are in Germany..." I stopped reading, seeing that it was a
journal, and that was personal.
"Hey Air, did you see this?" Kait held open the notebook for me to see. I sat next to
her and took the book from her. I started to read:
Aairana By Taylor Hanson
The love of my life
Has come to me
I met her just the other day
There's never been a girl like this before
Every time I close my eyes
I see her face
Then when I open them I hope to god the image doesn't disappear
I love her more than life itself
I wish more than anything that I could hold onto her for all eternity
And to never spend a second without the flower in my garden of weeds.#
"Wow, that was really sweet. But I think we should go now." I say. Kait's still
looking through the guys' clothes.
"You're right. I feel bad about going through their things."
"Yeah, but really we didn't do anything wrong. I mean, I found Tay's diary and I
didn't read it."
"You're right. I'm tired. Let's go to bed." We went back to our room, making sure
everything about the guys' room was how it was when we went in there. Kait climbed into her
bed. I changed into a pair of shorts and a T-shirt and crawled into bed. I was almost asleep
when I heard Kait giggle.
"What?"
"I just realized that I'm still wearing Zac's hood!" We both laughed.
"'Night Kait."
"'Night."
#Not really by Tay. (Obviously)
*Very true.
