His friends swimming really made Scout want to swim. He was getting anxious to play with Ruby, maybe splash her sneak up on her from underwater but he'd probably just stutter and blush around Matt and any others who would decide to start swimming. To get his mind off of it he went into the woods to pick up some sticks for the fire.

When he came back to the fire pit he spotted a shirtless Aaron sitting on the ground. [i]I need to stop fearing my friends and man up![/i] he thought to himself. This was the perfect opportunity to get over his fear of talking to sexy guys. He sat next to Aaron and smiled at him. "Hey there Aaron, how's things?" Was all he could think to say. Scout kept a small distance between the two to prevent getting flustered.
