My Uneventful Camping Trip

First love – it could make you or break you. Kinsley— dense and self-centered— goes on the school's camping trip just to be with the only boy she's ever fallen in love with, Adrian. But things get complicated when a gorgeous and sweet foreign exchange student comes on camp, catching Adrian's attention and putting Kinsley in a tight spot between love and friendship. Things get much more worse when Jake Hill shows up, trying to drive Kinsley to the brink of insanity by making her feel emotions she has never felt before. And maybe, trying to win her heart. But she still wants Adrian and will stop at nothing to get her first kiss from her first love even if it means attending a camping trip she isn't meant to attend. ~sneak peek~ "I don't know who you are. Or why you're doing this but I won't let you ruin this camping trip for me." I whisper in a low voice more to myself than to him. As if he hears me, he slowly opens up his eyes and gives me a little smile, almost like he's challenging me. And I'm stuck staring into green eyes. —He was always around me, bugging me and ruining my chances of getting my first kiss. But when I found out who he was and why he was doing it... Everything changed. Everything became harder.— Kinsley Bardot (at the end of the book.)

The truth

"I'm sorry." She coos, rubbing my head softly. 

This should be one of the rare times my mum hugs me soothingly and it's not because she doesn't want to, it's because I don't want to. 

I don't want to be pitied or treated in such a sympathetic way because I feel like I have to be strong just because my dad was a strong man.

"It's okay. I feel better telling you of how many nights I cried just thinking about him." I sob. 

But now, I can see that it doesn't really matter. I'm who I am and I don't need to be strong when I'm weak. I can acknowledge the fact that I'm hurt and walk through it, not running away from it and claiming to be strong.

"Oh no, don't cry." She tries to comfort me, but hearing her tell me not to cry makes me cry more. 

"Remember when you used to get calls about me getting in trouble at school?" 

"Hm-mm." She nods. 

"I did all that just to get my mind off him."
