(sumr'14) Chapter 4. It stinks

June 26.
The morning was packed with laughs, some anxiety over the bathroom situation, coffee and sun. We changed into our bathing suits and headed right back to the grass-river location, where there was yet another DJ set. We started the sunbathing/swimming ritual early, as the sun was burning and the river was ice cold. Tattoos everywhere, water guns, music and beer. I wondered whether the two boys would look for us. And then Nick came and sat right next to me. We played cards, swam in the river, had lunch. My stomach was in real pain and my period was on its way. Great.

The whole afternoon passed with us meeting new people from the tents next to us, smoking and half sleeping. I didn't want to admit I really liked him. We hadn't exchanged any numbers or facebook names yet, so I just hoped they'd find us tonight.

And indeed they did, yet another night on the grass by the river, listening to music, dancing, smoking. I had my black and white shorts on and a black sweater because I had the period shivering. My mood was on, though. We were drinking from the same cup, singing and staring at each other. No kisses yet.

My sister and the other girl (let's call her Yianna) went to find a spot to pee, because by that time the bathrooms were gross. As soon as they left, Dima and the other guy left as well, and we were kissing like there was no tomorrow. He was touching me all over, and I was so into this whole festival flirting situation. It was the best night of my summer.

And then, the phone rang. I heard Yianna yelling:
"Something bit your sister. We are at the first aid. Can you come right now? I think they'll take her to the hospital."

my blood froze
