-Neil P.O.V-

Me and Nikki walked towards the spot we wanted to get to until we saw the river that led through the woods.

"Omg! Its still here!" Nikki exclaimed.

"I thought it would have been flooded by now with all the snow." I said.

"It's still beautiful." Nikki said smiling over her shoulder at me.

"Yeah." I chuckled under my breath.

There was a moment of silence and our faces were about two inches close, until we saw max come out from behind the bushes.

"Hey what are you guys up to?" Max said with a taste of angst in his voice.

"Nothing, we were just looking for some animals we had seen here last summer." Nikki lied.

I was a little ticked off sense max had now found me and Nikki's favorite spot to hang out.

"So what's this place? Some sort of hideout." Max said kicking some of he dirt up with his foot. Now both of us were upset.

"How did you even find us max?" Neil questioned.

"Oh, I got bored so I followed you." He said with a grin on his face.

I gave Nikki a look and she did as well.

"We were actually just leaving." I said as I brushed past max.

-Nikki P.O.V-

"What's his deal?" Max said pointing towards where neil started walking.

"Max, just, you know we both are your best friends but sometimes we just need space." I said patting his shoulder. Max gave me a very confused look. And I started to walk towards Neil. I heard max trail behind us as we started walking back to camp. I knew that me and Neil were not going to have any alone time to talk or hangout But at least I got to see him this summer.
