#mistyhat

The camp was a sorry sight really. Melissa had always thought so. She was the middle child and very used to being shipped off to the camp over the summer instead of fun activities like her siblings. She found some reprieve in the old rope swing little ways into the woods that surrounded the pathetic camp. Others used it only sometimes. Shauna did mostly when she and Jackie had fights and even then she only came to use Melissa for some sort of revenge on Jackie. Melissa sighs kicking her feet as the swing sways. It groaned under her weight. Once Mari came by when she and Akilah had a fight and she left just as quickly when she realized she was at fault. Gen came here when Akilah and Mari kissed during their cabins spin the bottle game. That was a situation and a half. Gen and Melissa were close. Melissa would say she was close with her whole cabin even Crystal. All the cabin gossiped with Mari. Misty however was an unknown. An odd case no one in the cabin could crack. She was the teachers pet that’s for sure and she was not afraid to use it.. she was a steady thought in Melissa’s brain she couldn’t stop thinking about the snitch. Her stupid hair that puffed up after lake trips or her inability to be in the room while everyone changed. Mari quickly made her permit nickname ‘queersley.’ Or some other variation of nicknames that were meant to hurt the girl. No one was brave enough to use them to her face but she had even heard the great Jackie Taylor slip up and call her queersley at least once in common conversation.

The girl was easy to tease. She stood awkwardly and her glasses magnified her eyes highlighting their natural wideness. Brown almost green eyes always staring. Melissa didn’t think she had seen the girl blink at all in the two weeks she’d known her. No one picked on Misty more than Van. At some point Melissa was sure they had been friends but then Van clearly grew up. Misty had not. At least not in the way they did. There were perks to being Melissa the hat. No last name and no annoying traits associated with her so deeply not even camp could erase them. No she had a swing and her thoughts and she didn’t intend to give up her spot not for anyone. The trumpet for dinner sounds an annoying yet now familiar sound. Coach Ben was such a corny ass. Melissa makes her way back. She always took her time. Akilah had showed her which black berries where safe to eat though they where just barley in season. She takes her seat. Next to her was Mari and next to Mari was Gen. Across from Melissa was Crystal and Misty they sat too close neither were great with personal space but they didn’t seem to mind and melissa wasn’t in the habit of telling people how to live their lives. Crystal was singing something and Misty was just watching. She was stealing crystals bacon and not very subtly. “Mel the hat!” Melissa jumped a little as Jackie plops down next to her forcing Mari to move over. “Did Shauna see you last night?” Jackie was smiling but Melissa felt the fire behind those baby blue eyes. Shame Jackie was loyal to Shauna most days. At least when Jeff wasn’t convenient. “No she wasn’t with me. I was at the swing pretty much all night.” Melissa tried to keep my voice even but the other girl was now glaring. “She wasn’t in the cabin last night so try again?” Jackie tilted her head. Ben was watching them. “She really wasn’t.” Melissa insisted. “Jackie I swear.” Her voice almost cracked. Jackie’s face softened just a tad, “I wonder who she’s with now.” Jackie walks off.. Melissa’s shoulders remained tense. Mari gave a smirk. Ever the gossip she starts, “oooo~ Shauna’s dragging another poor girl into this?” Melissa walks away. Mari goes to give chase. She never knew when to quit but then again gen and Akilah kept her leash tight. Gen stopped her. Melissa needed to remember to thank the girl. She books it to her swing. Alone was safe and Shauna would likely fuck off. she sat on the swing.

Alone time was nice of course but she was more so hiding than relaxing. “You shouldn’t be alone. There’s animals with like rabies in these woods!” Misty steps out of the brush. Misty had never been to the spot. Did she fallow her? No she would’ve heard that.. “Christ Misty when the hell did you get here!” Melissa snapped. Misty just shrugged and sat next to her. Crystal sheepishly came out from the shadows too. “Oh my god.” Melissa was a little pissed. “You looked like you needed friends melhat. That’s all.” Misty defends. Crystal speaks up next, “yeah! You always are so..stuck! With Shauna and Jackie and all that you know?” Misty grabs Melissa’s hands. “Yeah come on we are cabin mates! By law we have to look out for eachother!” Misty was so loud. Crystal shoots her a sympathetic look. She at least looked a little guilty about their down right stalking. “This is my spot! Not yours I come here to be alone.” Melissa rips her hands away from Misty’s. She felt a hint of guilt as Misty did look really sad. She hid it fast though. “…fine. Stay but you try to gossip I’ll tell Mari you hunted me down and that won’t help how everyone sees you.” She wasn’t looking at Crystal only at Misty. Misty looked like Melissa just gave her the keys to the world. Brightly smiling she nearly shouts, “deal! Whatever you say boss!” Misty steps back. Misty plops down on a log next to the swing and crystal silently fallows.

Soon her spot wasn’t just HER spot. It wasn’t just the place where she played sloppy seconds to Jackie. It was a hangout and with two very odd people. Misty mainly used the spot when the other two were there. Crystal seemed to understand what Melissa did. The silent peace. Misty didn’t seem to handle silence well so when they all hung out and Melissa was overwhelmed Crystal would sing or hum. It kept Misty quiet since the other girl loved her voice. Sometimes their other cabin mates would join mostly Gen and Akilah but Mari still came rarely. They were there now dinner had wrapped up and Melissa for once didn’t feel overwhelmed. “I kinda wanna go swimming.” Crystals eyes lit up. “We so should!” Misty stayed unusually silent. “Sure…?” Both shot the poodle haired girl an odd look but shrug. The walk to the lake was nearly silent. They all kept their swimsuits down at the lake. Ben’s bright idea. Crystal was humming softly and Misty was holding her hand. They didn’t seem to care about the rumors. Melissa was the first to head into the changing room. Misty was hesitant. Crystal was fine. “Kristen I don’t really wanna swim.” Misty said. Crystal shot her a look and gently pet her head. Kristen? “Wait- Kristen?” Melissa stopped almost dropped her swim suit. “Your name is Kristen! We all call you Crystal- and-“ Crystal..well Kristen sighs “yeeeeah Jackie got my name wrong..but you already gave me the nickname Crystal the pistol and I didn’t wanna lose it so I just went with it. Haha..it’s fine! Seriously!” Kristen gives her a soft smile. Melissa liked how her bangs shape her face. Her eyes were so dark but so round like a cat. Misty was changing. She stepped out in her swim suit. She was the shyest out of the three. Her swim suit was a pale blue if Melissa remember correctly Jackie had gotten it for her. “Ooo! Blue is so your color bestie!” Kristen says softly. Melissa notes that Misty’s sweaters didn’t show off the curves the girl had. She was a little chubby Melissa was speechless. Pale skin and the light blue were a killer unfair combination and suddenly Melissa felt warm. Very warm. God she needed the swim. Melissa changed. As she stepped out Misty was very quiet. Staring with those almost empty eyes.

Kristen stepped out of the stall she was changing in. Her hair was up in a green bow. Melissa loved those bangs really. Her swim suit was frilly. She was looking at Melissa more subtle than Misty but she did clock the quick up down Kristen gave her. “Oo! Melissa I love the pink! Oh! Swim trunks are a good idea you won’t get all sun burnt!” Kristen was such a positive person. Melissa saw Misty looking at her with hunger. “Thanks..I like the pink cause it matches my hat.” Melissa said. The lake was large and very deeply green. Kristen took a running start and jumped in.. Melissa herself chose to use the dock to be right in the deep. Now Misty walked into the water slowly. Testing it almost. Kristen didn’t like that clearly since she runs to Misty and drugs her in. Misty was shouting “Kristen! No- come on it’s cold! Hay-“ her voice broke adorably. Melissa sets her hat on the dock and swims over to them to help grab Misty. “Ah- no not you to!” Misty was giggling now. Her prior odd behavior and mood gone. They drug her further into the lake. As they all calmed down Melissa could feel Misty’s soft pants as she caught her breath. Kristen’s soft sigh against Misty’s shoulder made the smaller girl shutter. “The lake is cold!” Misty whines. Melissa chuckled softly. “It’s refreshing Quigley!” Kristen pulls Misty close. “Don’t worry we will keep you close and warm!” Misty smiles at her. “I’m fine I promise.” Kristen snuggles into her shoulder. Melissa liked how naturally they held each other but it shocked her a little how easy she fit into it. Two weeks ago she would’ve mocked Misty for her too loud voice right along with Mari but that was two weeks ago and this is now. Melissa knew now that Misty cared and just showed it kinda creepy. “You know everyone thinks you two are together.” Melissa suddenly said. Mari often called the two THE scissor sisters. Misty flushes and its Kristen who answered. “Melissa..we are together.” Melissa’s nods. “I thought so just-“ Misty giggles. “Melissa we are together and we have been trying to have you join us.” Now that shocks Melissa. Not as much as it should though. Things click into place. Misty’s borderline stalking and Kristen’s sudden reveal of her name? Yep sounds pretty close to how lesbians flirt.

“That uh..makes more sense.” Melissa grabs her hat for emotional support. Both were staring at her clearly waiting for her response. “Shauna might hunt you both down.” Misty gives a smile. Melissa can’t tell if she loves or hates how Misty smiles. “Jackie and Shauna are back together.” Kristen flicks Misty on the ear. Misty’s smile drops but quickly comes back when Kristen kisses her cheek. It was an odd dynamic even odder when Melissa’s awkward self was added to the mix. Misty grabs Melissa’s for arms. Needy and harsh her nails dug in they were the same shade as Mari’s. “Sooo what do you say?” Kristen’s hands were much more calm gently wresting on Melissa’s hips her nails didn’t dig in and she was much warmer than Misty. “You can take some time to think Mel.” Kristen’s voice was a whisper in Melissa’s ear. The girl had a habit of whispering. “…I’d like that..maybe on the down low” Melissa finally said. Misty’s eyes didn’t change sure her smile widened but her eyes never changed. Kristen immediately hugged her. “Good! We can go as slow or fast as you need.” Kirsten snuggles into her neck and her hands move from Melissa’s hips to being around her waste. When she looked over at Misty she hadn’t changed. Her face or her eyes. She was still. Then she hugged Melissa too. “I’m not the best at being subtle.” Melissa gave her a dead pan look. “No really?” Kristen suddenly stole Misty’s glasses. The shock and sudden absence of the brunettes warm arms almost made her sad and confused about why she had removed them at all. The shorter blondes eyes were smaller without the glasses and she looked a lot less insane. “HAY! That’s so rude!” Misty jumps at her. Melissa smiles now getting Kristen’s plan. Breaking the tension they had all created. She felt her smile grow. Melissa grabbed Misty’s arms. “Nuh uh you can’t have them!” Kristen splashed Melissa while swimming away from the two blondes. “Hay! I thought we were on the same team damnit!” Melissa lets Misty go. They look at each other kinda? Misty couldn’t really see and even if she could she didn’t do eye contact. They seemed to have the same idea as they both leaped to grab Kristen. Misty grabbed her legs under water now not having to worry about losing her glasses and Melissa wraps her warms around Kristen’s shoulders. They worked together to drunk the theater nerd. Kristen came up looking like a half drowned cat. “Jeez that water is freezing!” She whined. Misty was giggling and puts her glasses back on. Kirsten kisses Misty. Melissa watched seeing them kiss made her face warm and the cold water was not helping. Misty’s hands drug into Kristen’s shoulder blades the brunette didn’t even react so clearly Misty had a habit of doing that. Kristen gently held Misty’s jaw like she was as calming a rabid dog her thumb stroked gently. Both turned to Melissa and the difference was stark. Misty’s eyes were hungry and her hands twitched like she wanted to rip Melissa open. Kristen’s eyes were soft and wide like she wanted to kiss all of Melissa’s scars and gently peel her apart. Kristen kissed her slowly her arms wrapped around her waist. Clearly that was her favorite place to rest on Melissa since she does it so often. Kristen’s lips were soft Melissa was pretty sure she’d seen her use chapstick but now she tasted it. Next it was misty. She ripped Melissa away from Kristen. Her kiss was harsh. She nipped, licked, sucked ,and not willing to wait she dug her nails into Melissa’s hips. Melissa let out a sharp gasp. “Christ Misty- easy-“

Then a new voice piped up. “Don’t take the lords name in vain!” Laura Lee?? When did she get there?! How much had she seen and Lottie? Oh. “So you guys too huh?” Melissa said awkwardly. Misty had put on Mel’s hat. Lottie gave the three a devilish smirk and grabbed Laura Lee. “Yes us too I finally got my girl to admit what we are.” Lottie’s voice was level calm. She’d gotten something good. Laura lees voice was soft like a breeze, “I’m happy for you three just make sure you don’t over indulge?” Melissa stared at her and before she could respond Kristen did. “I’m happy for you two. Everyone kinda saw it before you did.” Kristen giggled. Lottie smirks, “yeah well Mari owes me so much money because I knew you and quigley kid were something.” Lottie boasted. Laura Lee slapped her shoulder. “Charlotte, don’t bet on people that’s mean!” Lottie’s face softened as she leaned down to peck Laura Lee on the cheek. The two left in a fit of giggles and they kept pausing to kiss. Huh not a single straight bitch in this camp.. “we should go back to the cabin?” Melissa suggested her mouth felt dry.. she was faced away from the two watching Lottie and Laura Lee leave. She went to speak again but lips pressed onto her neck. “Can’t we stay longer..? Just a little longer?” Mel chuckled. Kristen was so sweet. Then nails dug in and teeth met her neck. “We can go in but we should come back to the lake tomorrow..” Misty hated the lake. Suddenly she hated it less.. Melissa felt proud. She went from second place to two girlfriends. She felt like the lesbians second coming and soon to be coming more with luck! This couldn’t possibly have any negative effects!

There were negatives to dating the two.

Misty mostly. Kristen was sweet and caring and respected boundaries! Misty? Misty stole clothes to sniff, she sunk her teeth and dug her nails in , she snuck into beds, she watched from a far, and worst of all she fucked with people close to Kristen and Melissa. Okay maybe dating the odd ones out didn’t really help the reputation but no one said anything. Mari teased her of course and Akilah wasn’t scared off by Misty’s…mistyizms.. Kristen mostly kept her in check though Melissa hadn’t yet learned how. It was night, Melissa was in bed and the cool air was blowing. Misty was snoring next to her. Wearing Kristen’s sweater and Melissa’s underwear. Misty was a perv, Melissa thought gently running her hand over Misty’s stomach under the sweater. Melissa felt that she was a pervert too and so was Kristen they just hid it better than Misty. Speaking of Kristen. She was sleeping in between Misty’s thighs snoring softly. Melissa loved Kristen’s snores. Before bed Kristen often sung Misty to sleep. Misty was a light sleeper and she rarely slept in bulk always moving and sitting up then laying back down. Melissa was an insomniac and Misty seemed to like waking up and seeing her. Misty liked to watch her sleep, that was another negative. Misty lets out a soft sigh as Melissa messages the girls hip. Kristen hums as she wakes up her hands go to Misty’s thighs, “Mel what are you doin’ up?” Her voice was the same soft tone she always took but it was undercut with a hint of anger. Melissa knew Kristen valued sleep. “She’s peaceful and quiet like this right? You like it too?” Melissa said not taking her eyes off Misty. Her hair was a wreck glasses half off her face and she was smiling as she slept. No fake smile, no need to pretend she felt emotions as they did, and no defenses keeping them from hearing the misty Quigley and all her glory. “I wouldn’t say quiet.” Kristen jokes kissing Misty’s stomach softly. Melissa blew cool air on Misty’s neck to wake her. It didn’t Misty just rolled over kicking poor Kristen who comes up to spoon Melissa. Melissa was the tallest and she was rather lanky so middle of the bed was her only option. Kristen kisses her. “This is like..the biggest cuddle pile.” Mari threw a pillow at them. She and Akilah had Gen in-between them. “Shut up you guys aren’t the only ones in the cabin! I don’t care about your lesbian asses I’m trying to sleep!” She was so grumpy. “Christ Mari you act like you aren’t sandwiched between two women at all times! Plus everyone knows you pick fights with Shauna so she’ll get in your face”Misty suddenly says not even bothering to sit up. She rolls over and shoved her face into Melissa’s chest. “Mmph.”

Misty loved to watch. She felt a little bad watching Melissa shower through a hole in the wall but she did the same for Kristen it was only fair! Plus Melissa was so lithe and sun-kissed Misty just wanted to sink her teeth in and never let go. Misty wondered if Mel would let her draw blood like Kristen did. Probably since she let Shauna do all that shit to her. God now that Misty thought on it Melissa was maybe even more pathetic than herself. Kristen would kill her if she knew her thoughts. It had been three weeks of dating and Kristen balanced them well. Speaking of Misty backed away from the hole to find her girlfriend. She was probably in the theater hall. Misty passed by van and pretended not to hear her make the quip. ‘I wonder where her keepers are?’ To which tai slapped her then kissed her cheek. Sweet if not for the insult. Whatever Misty didn’t care. She picks up the pace. Finding Kristen she jumped at her. “Hi!” They shared a quick peck before Ben blew a whistle at them. Misty slid a bottle of water into Kristen’s hands, “don’t forget to drink it this time. If it’s untouched I’ll be peeved.” Misty walked away. God it was boring being misty. Well it used to be now that Melissa had joined them people saw her. Most importantly and presently Akilah was walking to her. Misty liked her well enough she was nice to Kristen and weary of herself which wasn’t the worst take people had on her. “Hello.” Misty greets politely. Akilah smiles and signals her to fallow. Misty does with little hesitation sure she thought Melissa was pathetic but she was just as bad if not worse when it came to attention. Akilah always had her hair in a protective style and Misty kinda dug it. She’d seen Kristen paint it once or twice. She didn’t really get hair after she got hers permed she stopped caring much. Melissa was Akilahs friend. Was Akilah gonna make her leave Melissa? Was her stalking to obvious? Oh gods. They kept walking to the spot. The only swing. Shit that was isolated. “Melissa is hopeless Quigley.” She spoke suddenly shocking misty out of her paranoid thoughts. “Y-yeah a little.” Misty responds. “No not just a little she’ll let anyone do anything to her if they look even a little pretty in HER opinion. Now Kristen? I’m not worried about her misty. I don’t mean to take the moral high ground but Melissa is a puppy among wolves-“ Misty chuckles, “I’m definitely not a wolf..” she giggles at the idea she was more a bird of prey in her humble and very important opinion. Akilah smiles at her “but you get my point right? Listen Gen and I we clicked then we tamed Mari a little bit. Melissa can’t tame she just takes it.” Misty sits on the log. “I know she does. But don’t worry no romantic lover of mine will be burdened!” Akilah shoots her a look Misty can’t place. “Mari was right…you are a dork.” It was said as a joke. For once Misty felt equal.
