《Gravitate - Liam Stewart》Dancing Queen

Advertisement

I stay close to the group as we enter the cabin. I stick close to Zu and Liam. "You gotta be kidding me!" Chubs exclaims as we get a view of the Slip kid. He shakes his head in disbelief.

It was Clancy Grey, that didn't do much to make me feel better about this place "Clancy Grey?" Ruby questions lowly. That wasn't suspicious at all, I mean his Dad is the reason we are in the camps in the first place. Then his son decides to create a camp, but it's safe?

"I knew you weren't reformed." Chubs seemed disappointed until a small smirk came onto his face.I eye him carefully as the others take him in in awe.

He takes it in stride, standing before us. His laptop now closed as he chuckles saying "You're Charles right?" he shakes his hand before looking down at Zu, And you must be Suzume. Hey." He greets her, she waves at him before he turns to the rest of us.

He seemed in awe of Liam, a proud grin on his face as "Liam Stewart, the hero who broke a hundred kids out of Caledonia.". We were all proud of Liam, everyone but Liam was. I rub his arm as a sheepish grimace made its way to his face.

"Emma James, former Children's League member and specialized trainer." I despised that already, he turned to Ruby after giving me a very convincing, welcoming grin.

"Ruby Daly, the last remaining orange other than me. It's an honor to meet you." It was a historic moment. The last two oranges combined, here to give who they could, freedom or havoc. That made my nerves go wild, as if ready to run.

"I'm honestly excited to meet all you guys. I mean, you're kind of legendary." He gestures around to his place, but meant the camp as he told us "You're so welcome."

"Now there's a lot to be done here and we could really use your guys' help. I'm thinking.." he trails off as he thinks about it before turning to Mike "Cabin 18.". I was almost expecting to be separated by boys and girls, but I wasn't going to complain. It was like relief poured out of me, maybe I was just nervous.

"Yes sir." Mike replies, Liam glances down at me. I was relieved to not be split up from everyone. By the looks of it, he was too. I sent him a small smile that he returned.

"Go get settled. We're gonna have some fun tonight." Clancy announces, letting us begin to head out before backing away to his desk.

"Fun huh?" I shake Zu's shoulder, teasing her with a smile on my face as we head outdoors and get a chance to look at the camp once again. She grins at me, and for once I was ready to have some fun.

The chatter of the people and the blaring music scared me. I was almost worried someone would come racing in, telling us to spread out and run for it because the PSF's were here. But it hadn't happened yet.

Liam, Ruby and I sat on a bench by the fire, overlooking the crowd of dancing kids. "Wow floating lanterns this is like Hogwarts." Ruby commented with laughter, it was really beautiful here, right now.

A smile had worked its way to my face as I watched the kids faces, they contained happiness and love. Nobody looked upset or unhappy here.

"I mean going to Hogwarts would be cool." I speak up, reminiscing it the memory of my mother reading to me every night. She was obsessed with them just as much as I was.

"That would make you Harry right? And Emma would be" he shot me a teasing look as he absentmindedly talked "Ginny Weasley, the silent soldier and I would be Hermione. Smart and brave."

We both shoot him funny looks before Ruby tells him "Well Harry and Ginny end up together so.." she laughs and it takes him a moment to break away from the view and realize what she was saying.

His face turned to shock and then laughter came spewing out as he said "Oh no I didn't mean-" we cut him off with laughter. I mean Ruby isn't my type but I wouldn't be upset.

His face turned red a little so I nudged his shoulder "I think Chubs would have to be Hermione. He's the smart one. As for Ginny and Harry, they were cute together.". I never had expected the two together until it happened. I loved it.

"You know what, I really liked them together." Ruby agreed, as we got quieter. But then one look at Ruby sent us into a fit of laughter that made Liam laugh.

"Okay i'm gonna get a drink. You guys want anything?" I push myself off the bench as they both denied my offer.

I come back to them and Liam gets up. "We should dance." he announces, Ruby shakes her head.

"I don't dance." she says, I sit down on the bench as he beckons us forward. "No." she laughs and he turns to me as his hand flies up.

"No?" he questions, making me shake my head as I laugh. He does a small shrug before his eyes turn blue and I go flying slowly forward.

I look back at Ruby for help as I laugh but she puts her hands up in defense, signaling that I was not going to be saved. He pulls me closer as he continues to back into the crowd of dancing teens. "It's okay I won't hurt you." he jokes as he lets me down in front of him.

I take step closer, the smile on my face getting no closer to closing. "I know." I roll my eyes playfully, shaking my head at him.

"Good. I like that you trust me." he tells me, which I did trust him. He wasn't what I was expecting when I climbed into his van but I was so happy it was him. I would do anything for him now.

I wouldn't have it any other way. "You should know that I trust you by now." I tell him, my smile dimming as the tension multiples and he steps closer.

He doesn't say anything as his hands slip around my waist, mine rising up to settle on his shoulders. My eyes focus on his before getting even closer and I look over at the fire and where Ruby had disappeared.

It was peaceful, despite the loud music and chatter of kids. It was like it was only us there that I cared about. That my mind was dulled when I was this close to him. And it was magical.

I heard his voice but I was in such a haze that I didn't hear what he said. I look up at him as I snapped out of it, "Sorry what?" I recollect myself carefully.

"I just said you're.." he falters for a second as my eyes catch his "You're really beautiful.", and my eyes don't leave his until they go to his lips and for the second time we get closer and closer.

My body gets pulled against his as we kiss, it was slow and gentle. Almost like we never wanted it to end. But it had to eventually and when we pulled away, we just went back to dancing, closer than ever. My head laid on his chest and arm as his head rested on mine.

"Liam you're on guard duty, I'll be going with you to show you to the lockers after this, Suzume will be going to school here with the other kids who are under 13. Chubs you will be working in the garden, i'll show you to the girl in charge on the way to the locker. Emma we would like you to help in the organization for hitting the food trucks and on the team. " Mike spews out, carefully explaining it before turning to Ruby, "Ruby you don't have a job, you should talk to Clancy."

She nods carefully, "Emma you and Suzume can go to the main building and Olivia will show you what to do." Mike tells me, before gesturing to Liam and Chubs. "Get whatever you need and i'll wait outside for a minute." he directs them before heading out when they nod.

"You'd think we'd be switched." Liam tells me, which I shrug. I wasn't exactly excited about my job. Knowing the kids from the mall, I assume I'd just stay here. I hope I wasn't being sent outside of camp for this. "Hey, Emma." Liam catches my attention as he comes over, "You okay?"

"What if i'm being sent to somewhere, like those kids at the mall?" I express my concern, he shakes his head at my words.

"You aren't going anywhere. If they try and send you anywhere than we can go and talk to Clancy, okay?" he reassures me, I nod feeling slightly better.

Liam always made me feel better."Okay." I murmur, he rubs my arm before Chubs comes over.

"I'll see you later." he grins before heading out with Chubs who gave me a grim smile. I head over to Zu, who seemed pretty excited. Ruby had disappeared, i'm assuming to see Clancy. The girl had a way with running off.
