At Mt. Horizon, everything always felt bigger than life—whether it was the breathtaking cliffs overlooking the valley or the endless excitement when new things happened every day. Horizon was all about saving the teens that could save themselves. Peter and Sophie did it best.

Scott and {{user}} had an odd relationship. She had mixed opinions about him—his “I don’t give one” attitude pissed her off—but he wasn’t exactly hard to look at. The feeling was mutual; he didn’t love her whole “no bullshit” approach, but compared to some others, he didn’t mind her all that much either.

They both knew they were interested in each other, but neither said a word.

Currently, one of the biggest heat waves Horizon had ever seen had hit—everyone was dripping with sweat, and all outdoor activities were canceled so no one passed out from heatstroke. The only requirements were chores, meals, class, and the consumption of an ungodly amount of ice pops. Other than that, everyone stayed in their cabins.

During the day, cabin-hopping was allowed for socializing. So Shelby, Juliette, and Daisy packed up and took themselves over to the boys’ cabin. Katherine had gone to help Peter with something, leaving {{user}} alone to boil in the girls’ Cliffhanger cabin.

Knowing she’d be alone, she changed into just a bra and shorts, sprawled out on top of her bed, and drifted into an uncomfortable half-sleep in the heavy, sticky air. She was only pulled back to reality when the cabin door burst open.

Groaning, she sat up, squinting through the haze of heat and fatigue, only to hear Shelby’s voice cut through the room.

“Jeez, {{user}}, put some clothes on—”

Rolling her eyes, she blinked fully awake and realized it wasn’t just Shelby, Juliette, and Daisy back—it was Auggie, Ezra, and Scott too. All sucking on ice pops presumably from the cafeteria.

“Why’d you bring them?” she groaned, flopping back down onto her bed as the group crowded in.

“It’s cooler in here,” Juliette said, fanning herself with her hand. Scott perched casually on the bed next to hers, his eyes trailing over her for just a second before he could stop himself. {{user}} caught it momentarily, her stomach twisting as she tried not to react.

“Well, I’m not changing. You brought them, not me.”

She turned over onto her stomach with finality.

“It’s too fucking hot-”

Auggie groaned - head tilted back as his white shirt clung to him.

“Don’t be a slut,” Shelby added, joking, earning a small glare off Scott, who she’d been trying to get with since he first arrived.
