Chapter fourteen.

“You fix it with Harry?” Zayn asked as our band practiced. I just shrugged. “Are you okay?”

“Better.” I said. “How are you and Perrie?”

“Better.” He replied. “You notice anything up with James and Jade?”

“He’s head over heels for her.” I answered.

“I knew that. But why isn’t he being his usual cheeky self?”

“Maybe you should ask him.” I shrugged. “I mean, he told me and I just met him.”

“Figured. He doesn’t open up much to me. He always says he wants to be like me. I don’t really get it, but if I’m not having problems, he acts like he’s not either.”

“He’s not going to get far if he wants to be like you.” I laughed. I quickly stopped realizing what I said was completely and totally rude. “That’s not what I meant. Sorry. Eleanor told me that you have to be yourself to make it. Be your own person. And I think that’s what he is around Jade. Don’t you think? Maybe they’ll make it.”

“But they’re kids.” He said shaking his head.

“Liam and Brie have stuck together since kindergarten.” I said.

“It just doesn’t seem realistic.”

“Make your own reality.” I said. He smiled at me.

“Nice. I’m going to start using that.” He laughed.

“Just don’t forget to give me credit.” I replied.

The band finished practicing and we went to go fishing with Team Crayfish. It was quite amusing actually. Louis and Zayn took over teaching the kids how to fish and Eleanor and I just sat with our feet in the water. Zayn did a little whistle and I turned to see what he was looking at. He was looking at Mrs.Edwards in her bikini top and shorts. She waved and I could tell she was blushing. And then I saw Harry. Taking off his shirt. Wow-za.

“Do you find it weird?” I asked Zayn.

“Do I find what weird?” He asked.

“That you have such an effect on Perrie? First she wants to impress you. Now she wants to just be comfortable with you. And you make her blush just with a whistle. Isn’t that weird?” I asked.

“Isn’t it weird how Harry has such an effect on you?” He asked.

Chapter thirteen.

I was just stressed. Simple as that. The Battle of the Bands was going down in exactly one week. The camp performance was in one week. We all had one week left. One week. As if Zayn didn’t stress that out enough, he was freaking out because Team Rugrats didn’t even have a song picked out. And I was stressed just watching this all go down.

I was doing a good job at ignoring Harry though. And I also did a good job at sneaking into the recording booth to sing his songs. And my piano skills were pretty on point. And my dancing skills were getting better. And Perrie was smiling a lot more nowadays. She stopped tanning too. I was just happy she was happy.

“Cheer up.” Karma said surprising me.

“What?” I asked. “I’m happy.”

“No you’re not.” She said. “You’re not lying to anyone but yourself.”

“I’m not twitching.” I said pointing to my eye.

“It’s because you refuse to admit that you are lying to yourself. You only twitch when you know you’re lying.”

“How do you know?” I asked.

“Best friends, right?” She asked. I just smiled. “You know we only have a week left here.”

“I know.” I sighed. “I can’t wait.”

“Dude, what happened to you?” She asked. I honestly didn’t understand the question. I was simply me. “You were so excited to come here, to be here. To experience all of this. What happened?” I couldn’t answer. “You just have to stop being so scared. Face your fears Twitch. You can sit here and wait for something to change, or you can be that change.”

“Why are you so confident Karma?”

“Because. I have friends like you. I have Brie. I have Niall. I have Liam. And now I have Louis, Eleanor, Perrie, Zayn, and Harry. And I trust you. I know that even when I make mistakes, you always tell me to keep going. And now you’re scared. And all I have to say to you is keep going.”

“It’s not that easy.” I said pushing my hair behind my ear.

“Oh yeah, I know. You ruin people along the way. You get ruined along the way. But you accept it. No one is perfect. No one wants to be perfect Twitch. They just want to be accepted.”

“Can I just accept that I just suck?” I whined.

“No. Because that’s not true. You don’t suck. And you can’t accept something that’s false.”

“Thanks Karma.” I said hugging her.

“GAY!” Niall coughed as he walked up to us. “Time for rehearsals.”

The theater was beginning to smell like pure sweat. But on the bright side, we finally perfected the camp song. I mean perfected.

“Thank goodness!” I said as I high fived Brie.

“You’ve been doing better!” Brie said excited. I really had been. The trick was that I had to keep thinking of the one time I did it with Harry. No big deal though. It was just a trick of mine. Nothing less, nothing more.

“Thanks! I’ve got a great teacher you know.” I smiled.

“I helped!” Eleanor bragged.

“Well aren’t you fancy?” I joked.

“Oh, thanks by the way.” Eleanor said.

“For what?” I asked. She pointed towards the wall where Louis and Eric were carrying a conversation.

“Does that mean you guys are officially dating?” I asked excited.

“No.” She said. “But at least they’re getting along.”

“TWITCH!” Perrie yelled. She ran up to me and hugged me.

“PERRIE!” I yelled back.

“He kissed me!” She whispered. A smile crossed my face. She was so happy.

“What did I tell you?” Eleanor asked her. “Just be you.”

“Gah! Thanks El!” She cheered.

“I think we need a girls night out once we get out of here.” Karma said.

“Agreed.” Brie smiled.

“Why is Harry staring you down like he hates your guts?” Eleanor asked looking at him behind me. I didn’t dare turn around.

Chapter twelve.

The warmth of the sun woke me up. And I loved it. It made me feel loved. And so did Harry’s arms around me. I tried to move slowly not to wake him up. His chest moved up and down slowly. His nostrils flared a little which was super cute. And he was mumbling something, but I couldn’t understand what he was saying. His curls were looking extremely messy and sand was getting stuck in it. So I decided to play with his hair. I was disappointed because his hair was softer than mine. That’s not fair at all. He stretched waking up and looked at me.

“What are you doing?” He asked.

“What conditioner do you use?” I asked.

“What?” He laughed sitting up. I sat up as well.

“Your hair.” I pointed out. “It’s softer than mine. That’s not cool.”

“It is cool.” He replied.

“Do you think they’re looking for us?”

“Not anymore. Louis came down here last night and found us.” He explained. “So how did you sleep last night?”

“Wonderful.” I smiled. “Thanks for being my pillow.”

“No problem. Maybe today you can get those dance moves right.” He laughed pulling me up.

“It’s just so hard.” I whined.

“It is not.” He said. “Watch.” He placed his hands on my hips, twirled me around, and moved me with ease. I felt like feather, weightless, and before I knew it, it was over.

Chapter ten.

I woke to the feeling of water being poured on me. I sat up quickly pissed. James and Eric were holding water guns and began running.

“You’re both DEAD!” I yelled as I chased after them. I caught up to Eric and carried him back to the cabin.

“What are you doing?” Eleanor asked. I put him down before speaking. Before I knew it, he was spraying Eleanor and she chased after him. I turned around to be face with Zayn.

“You wouldn’t dare.” I said looking him right in the eye.

He held his water gun up. Aimed. And shot me right in the face. I tried to run after him to beat him up, but it was no use.

I went back to the cabin and showered and prepared myself for the day. Bad idea. When I walked out of the cabin, the whole camp was quiet. I walked around to see if anyone was around and I couldn’t find anyone. I didn’t know what to do so I treated like a day at home. I got back in bed. I would usually be on my laptop, but because of my new ways I pulled out the book I was reading.

I got through two and a half books in one day. I didn’t even pay attention to the time passing. I actually enjoyed it too. Someone knocked on the door causing me to put my book down. I opened the door to find Onyx standing there with a flower in his hand and a smile on his face.

“What’s the catch?” I asked.

“I need some advice.” He said.

“Wait, where is everyone else?”

“They’re in the theater. I told them I was off to go to the bathroom.”

“Oh.” I said. “So what advice do you need?”

“There is this girl I really like. And I just want to know how I should go upon telling her.”

“Tell her what?” I asked.

“That I like her! Pay attention To!”

“No need to get antsy kid.” I laughed. “Who is it?”

“Kerry.” He smiled. Whoa. That’s not fair at all. How did this little kid have the smile I wanted at the age of eleven. “Perrie’s little sister.” Whoa. He’s into girls like that? But then again, there was nothing wrong with them.

“What’s she like?” I asked.

“She’s super pretty. And has an amazing voice. And she can play violin. She has good grades. And she’s really laid back. She just kind of smiles through life.”

“Well I don’t personally know her, but I would say make her smile and catch her off guard.”

“Like a surprise?” He asked. I nodded yes. “Thanks Topaz!” He said giving me a hug. He began running off before I got his attention again.

“Aren’t you going to wait for me?!” I said running after him. “How did you even know where I was?”

“I just followed your lazy vibes.” He shrugged. We walked into the theater together and Perrie looked at me weird. I walked up to her as Harry continued speaking.

“Where have you been?” She asked.

“In my cabin. No one came to get me.” I replied. “Have you guys been here the whole time?”

“Yeah. The whole day.” She said. Well now I feel dumb. Zayn came up to us and placed his hand on my forehead and then on my neck.

“What are you doing?” I asked confused.

“Are you sick?” He asked. I shook my head no. “Then where the have you been the whole day?”

“I was reading.” I shrugged.

“I thought you were dead.” He replied.

“Shut up.” I laughed. “I’m perfectly fine.”

Harry finally stopped talking and we were dismissed for dinner. And I had no idea what happened at all today.

“Where were you?” Louis asked me.

“I was just in my cabin. I couldn’t find you guys at all.” I said.

“Well we missed you.” He said. I still wasn’t used to this whole buddy buddy thing, but I liked it.

“Then why didn’t you idiots come looking for me?” I joked. We walked into the cafeteria and it was spotless. I was impressed. “Not a bad job guys.”

We got our food and found myself sitting alone. I guess it was just one of those loner days for me. I studied the pattern of how the kids sat. They were mostly seated by their teams. But I noticed Kerry and Onyx decided to sit at the end of the table away from all the chatter. And then you had the love square Team Rugrats on the other end.

“What are you doing?” Harry asked sitting next to me.

“How long have you been sitting there?” I asked startled.

“A few minutes. You never really notice me.” He shrugged.

“Sorry. I’m just thinking about how we only have two more weeks until this is all over.”

“It’s been two weeks already? Feels like it’s only been a day.” He replied.

“I know. This will all soon come to an end.”

“It doesn’t have to.”

“What do you mean?” I asked. He looked up at me and our eyes locked. I almost choked from not breathing so I slowly looked back down at my food.

“Not all of it has to end.” He said. I looked back up, but now he was looking down at his food. I didn’t get him, but I wish I did.

The Rugrats told scary stories again and I couldn’t sleep. But instead of reading in the tree house, I wrote. I wrote songs. I used the few chords I knew and spent the night trying to make a tune. I only finished one song, but I started on three others. This was actually kind of fun and I was really getting into it. So into it that I remembered Harry holding a notebook as he sang in the recording cabin. And I wanted to know what was in it. I wanted to read every word. I don’t know why I did, but I did. So I devised a plan to get it.

Chapter seven.

So apparently they did story night every night. Scary stories all night. Who even thinks that’s fun? I wasn’t getting any sleep these past few days and I think the kids were noticing. I started falling asleep as I was trying to eat my lunch which was pretty embarrassing.

“Why are you so tired?” Eric asked.

“Me? Tired? Are you kidding me? I’m so energized right now!” I said as I tried to sit up straight.

“You have some food in your hair you know.” Eric said. I quickly brushed it out before putting my head down on the table.

“I. Am. So. Tired.” I whined.

“Why? Don’t you sleep?”

“Not these past few days.” I explained.

“Why not?”

“For stupid reasons.” I sighed. Story nights were obviously super entertaining for them and I didn’t want to ruin that. “So you’re Eleanor’s little brother?”

“Unfortunately.” He sighed.

“Why do you say that?” I asked.

“She’s my big sister, but it doesn’t feel like it.”

“What does she feel like to you?”

“On most days, a stranger.” He said. I wanted to talk to him more, but we were called to begin our dance lessons from Brie.

“What sound is your band going with this year?” Brie asked Zayn.

“Uhm, let’s try R&B and Pop and Indie Rock.” He replied.

“Indie Rock? How do you expect em to train them on that?” She asked.

“You’re the choreographer, not me.” He laughed. “Just start of with R&B then.”

She nodded in response and Zayn and I sat to the side to watch them.

“You should dance with them.” I said nudging Zayn.

“Cool kids don’t dance.” He replied.

“Oh really?”

“Really.”

“So you grinding on the dance floor with Karma wasn’t dancing?” I asked.

“Nope.”

“Oh that’s right. It was basically dry humping.”

“Someone decided to be rude again.” He said.

“Sorry.” I sighed.

“It’s fine. No one can tell you who you can and can’t be.”

“This is going to sound really weird, but one day I’d like to see the world through your eyes.”

“And one day, I’d like to see the world through yours too.”

The kids were getting pretty tired so I went to go fetch them some water. I wish I had told Zayn to do it, because I bumped right into Perrie.

“Sorry.” I said as I picked up the empty water bottles.

“No, I should have been looking at where I was going.” She said as she helped me.

“Thanks.” I replied as I began walking of.

“Wait!” She said. I turned around to face her. “How’s… how is Zayn?”

“Don’t you talk to him everyday?” I asked confused.

“Yeah, but you know what I mean. Is he doing alright?”

“He’s… he’s doing alright.” I smiled. She smiled back, nodded, and walked away. She had feelings, and I was kinda liking this side of her. I filled up the bottles and went back to a tired group of kids. I handed out the bottles of water as they thanked me.

“You got a good group here.” Brie whispered to me.

“Just got lucky. How’s your group?” I asked.

“They’re wonderful, but they sure aren’t dancers.” She laughed.

“I’m sure you can make it work.”

“Trying to.” She replied. Karma and Niall’s group walked it meaning it was Zayn’s and my groups turn to go out. As I passed Niall he tapped me to get my attention.

“What?” I asked.

“Friends?” He smiled. I didn’t want to give in, but I looked over his shoulder to see Karma begging me to say yes.

“Friends.” I smiled. I followed my group to the beach. Swimming time. Now only if I was in the mood. I was too tired to even move. I laid out my towel, laid on it, then passed out.

I woke up as I felt someone touch me. I sat up quickly before seeing it was just Jade.

“What are you doing Jade? You scared me.” I said as I tried to focus my eye sight.

“I didn’t want you to burn.” She said holding up a bottle of sunscreen.

“Oh, thanks kid.” I said as I put some on. “Why aren’t you swimming with the rest of the band?” I asked as I looked out to see Zayn playing water volleyball with them.

“I don’t know.” She shrugged.

“Yeah you do. Come on, tell me.”

“I just. I just suck at volleyball and I don’t want to embarrass myself.”

“Who cares Jade? This is your band. They like you for you. They don’t care if you embarrass yourself.” I said reassuringly.

“I care.” She sighed.

“You care? About what?”

“What they think of me.”

“Why do you care so much?” I asked.

“What if they don’t like me?”

“You’re all in a band together. I think they like you.”

“No To. Like… like me like me.”

“Oh.” I said finally understanding. “Which one is it?”

“Eric.” She said looking at me for advice.

“Eric? Well, as far as I know, he seems kinda like his sister. They like real people. People that make mistakes, laugh at life, and keep going. So I think you should go out and play with them.”

“Are you sure?” She asked. I nodded reassuringly before she ran off to go play. I laid back down and went straight back to sleep.

-

“Twit. Twit get up. You missed dinner.” Zayn said waking me up.

“Oh. Crap. What time is it?” I asked rubbing my eyes.

“It’s almost nine. You’ve slept the whole day.”

“Uhg. Sorry.” I said sitting up straight. He handed me a plate with food on it. “You didn’t have to bring me this Zayn.” I then began shoving food in my mouth, I was starving.

“It looks like I did.” He laughed. “You haven’t slept at all these past few nights.”

“What are you talking about? I slept fine.” I said. My eye began twitching but I rubbed it to stop.

“I can feel you get up out of bed and I can hear you walk out.”

“That wasn’t me.” I said still holding my eye from twitching.

“Well looks like we have to go bust that ghost in our cabin then.” He laughed. I just laughed with him. I finished up eating and we walked back to the cabin where the kids were, thank goodness, done telling scary stories. Maybe I could actually get some sleep tonight.

-

Yeah, still not asleep. Uhg. I crawled back out of bed and went to where I always went. I went up to the tree house to read the books Zayn had finished. I walked through the woods with my flashlight. I was never usually afraid of walking alone in the dark for some reason, but this time I was. Halfway there I heard a branch crack behind me. I quickly turned around and kicked whatever was behind me.

“Fucking hell!” Harry yelled. Or at least tried to yell. It was more of a screech.

“HazMat?” I asked confused. I got down to see if he was okay. “What the hell were you doing you idiot?” I yelled. “You don’t follow a girl in the dark into the woods!”

“Why’d you kick me?” He asked.

“You scared me! It’s a reflex! I took three years of karate remember?” I asked. “Maybe if you didn’t quit after the first year you would have been prepared for that. Where’d I kick you anyways?”

“My man parts.” He said breathing normally again. I burst out in laughter. “You’re horrible.”

“Are you okay yet?”

“Maybe. Just give me another minute.” He breathed. “Where are you headed anyways?”

“I was…” I began forgetting that the clubhouse was a secret. “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know? You’ve been going into the woods ever since camp started every night and you don’t know?”

“You stalker!” I said hitting him.

“Stop abusing me!” He laughed. He was always laughing and it was kinda cute.

“Sorry.”

“Now answer my question.” He demanded.

“I just like being alone sometimes. Just me, my thoughts, and a good book.” I shrugged.

“The woods? That’s your place of peace? In the middle of the night you like to go to the woods? You’re a freak.”

“Says the chemistry nerd.” I replied.

“Exactly. Nerd. Not freak.”

“Whatever.” I sighed. “So are you just going to watch me read this book or what?”

“I guess.” He shrugged. I opened the book and began reading to myself. “Wait.” He said interrupting me. “Read out loud.”

“No.” I began to say, but before I knew it he had his head laid on my lap ready for me to read. “Fine.” I sighed. I began reading and within ten minutes Harry was already asleep. I read to myself again until the sun began to come up.

Chapter five.

I woke up as someone slapped my arm. I sat up to see Zayn, and my reflex told me to slap him back.

“What was that for?” He asked.

“Payback!” I replied.

“I just killed a bug that was on you!” He explained.

“Oh.” I said softly.

“You’re welcome.” He said. “Come on. It’s our last day of bonding. Then we go back out to civilization. Let’s do something fun.”

“Like what?” I asked.

“You’ll see.” He replied. I got up and got prettied up. But today was hot, so I wouldn’t be pretty for long.

“Ready?” He asked. He was excited, really excited.

“Sure.” I said a bit scared of what was going to happen.

I’m excited for MSG and I’m not even going. Omg. Night.

Chapter sixteen.

I threw my bag in the van and waited for Zayn.

“Why are you so ready to leave?” He asked. I just shrugged. “Well don’t think we’re going home. We always spend the last day together in LA.”

“LA?” I asked excited.

“Yeah.” He replied like I should have known. “These vans are so we can go do whatever we want for the day.”

“Are we talking inner city, busy city, famous people LA?” I asked. He nodded and looked at me like I was crazy. “WE’RE GOING TO LA!” I cheered. I was so so excited.

“What?!” Karma asked from the van beside us.

“Thanks for ruining the surprise.”  Niall sighed.

“Did someone say LA?” Perrie asked.

“Like shopping LA?” Brie asked.

“No freaking way!”  Eleanor cheered. Us girls got extremely chatty as the boys just watched. It wasn’t until they started the vans that we realized we were wasting time. Oops. They came out and joined us for a moment.

“So what do you guys want to do?” Zayn asked.

“Shopping!” Eleanor, Perrie, and Brie said.

“What about you Karma?” Niall asked.

“Whatever Twitch wants to do.” She shrugged.

“I guess shopping?” I said.

“I know what you want to do.” Liam said. “It’s less than hour away and it’s where dream come true.”

“I don’t know. It’s kind of out of the way. Maybe next time.” I said.

“I want to go.” Harry said. I looked up and smiled at him.

“Really?” I asked.

“Yeah. I just didn’t know if anyone else wanted to go, but I’ll go with you.” He smiled.

“Then I would love to go.” I replied.

“Wait, where are we going?” Karma asked.

“Disneyland!” Niall laughed.

Chapter eleven.

Third time’s the charm. I was going insane with no sleep to be honest. It was three in the morning and I was wide awake. I tried getting the notebook in the morning once, but there was team in the recording cabin. So I tried at night while everyone was at dinner, but Brie wouldn’t leave me alone and followed me there. And now in the middle of the night while everyone is asleep, I will read that freaking notebook.

I was dressed in all black just for the heck of it (I’m a ninja). I was going insane and I knew it. But nothing will stop me. I entered the recording cabin and looked everywhere for the notebook. It had to be in here somewhere. Please, be here. I found it in the bookshelf between two big how to play piano books. Of course he would write them on piano and not guitar. Uhg. Harry took three years of piano lessons, I only took about two months worth. We had very different interests as kids.

I opened the notebook and found his poems. Well they started as poems. He slowly added music to each page and by the end it was pure music. As I read his writing, it’s like my insanity went away. Like a calming feeling came over me. I flipped back near the front of the notebook to where the music was less complicated. I played the piece on piano as I figured out how to sing it. And even though I sounded horrible, I loved singing it. I pressed record and went into the recording booth. I pressed play and the piano piece I recorded began playing, and I began singing. I felt kind of stupid, but I felt kind of free at the same time.

“Wow, this is amazing.” I said softly to myself. I flipped through the notebook one last time. Was it possible to fall in love with words? Because I felt like I did. I fell in love with words.

Chapter nine.

I scanned the beach making sure all the kids were okay. That was where we were basically spending the whole day. Karma and Brie were taking a swim and it was just me, Eleanor, and Perrie. I began putting on some sunscreen before lying down.

“Don’t you want to get tan?” Perrie asked.

“Not really.” I shrugged. “What’s the point?”

“Guys like tan girls.” Perrie replied.

“That’s not true Perrie and you know it.” Eleanor replied.

“Well, I believe guys like tan girls.” Perrie said.

“What do guys really like?” I asked. They looked at me blankly.

“Have you ever been in a relationship?” Eleanor asked reading me like a book.

“No.” I said a bit ashamed.

“Never?” Perrie asked. I shook my head no.

“You’re pretty lucky.” Eleanor said.

Chapter six.

I twiddled my thumbs as I waited for a big yellow bus to pull up onto camp grounds. I was extremely nervous.

“You alright Spaz?” A husky voice said. I looked to my right to find Harry sitting right next to me. I can’t believe I didn’t notice.

“How long have you been there?” I asked.

“About five minutes. I was going to wait for you to say something, but that might have taken a while.” He laughed. I didn’t respond, it was true. “What’s on your mind?”

“You promise not to laugh?”

“Promise!” He smiled. Oh his smile made me melt.

“I’m terrified of the kids that are coming.” I said softly and quickly.

“What?” He asked.

“I said… I’m terrified of the kids that are coming.” I sighed. I looked up at him. He was smiling so big. He was trying to hold in his laugh, but it came out anyway. “HAZ!” I yelled pushing him. He still kept on laughing. I got up and began walking back into my cabin.

“Wait!” Harry said still rolling on the ground. “Come back!”

“No!” I yelled. He finally stopped laughing and got up. He came up to me and wrapped his arm around me. I became weak from his touch.

Chapter four.

“Sun screen. Bug spray. Deodorant. Girl products. Bathing suit. Clothes. Toothbrush. Are you sure you have everything?” My mom asked as we walked into the airport.

“Yes mom. I’m sure.” I said reassuringly.

“Well you’re leaving us.” Onyx pouted.

“Stop. It’s only a few days. Then we get to spend all of camp together.” I smiled as I pulled him and Jade into a big hug. My mom joined in too. I let them go and let out a sigh. “Okay, I think I can take it from here. Love you guys.” I gave them a wave goodbye and headed to the security check. I got through with ease since I’m a good kid and all. I headed to the gate to find Liam and Brie already seated. I sat next to Brie and smiled. They smiled back. We were all obviously too excited for words. I heard some laughter and looked up. And what did I see? The jocks and the Party Girls. Why were they here? Why are they ruining my day?

“Hey Liam!” Louis said sitting next to him.

“Ayeee, would you look at that! Twit and Brie are here too!” Zayn said. The Party Girls didn’t say a word and neither did me or Brie. The guys seemed to get along really well. And I didn’t know why. Someone pinched my sides from behind me causing me to jump. I turned around to see Harry laughing at me. I pushed him softly as I made a grumpy face.

“Morning.” He smiled.

“No.” I said sturdily.

“No what?” He asked.

“We are not friends. You are not allowed to tickle me.” I said.

“What? You mean like this?” He asked pinching my sides again. This time I let out a girly scream causing us both to laugh.

“Yo, Mr.Flirt, chill out.” Zayn said from behind us.

“Got it Malik.” Harry nodded.

“You’re friends with him?” I asked.

“We’re all friends. Well the guys at least. We’re like camp buddies. Niall should be here soon too.” He explained.

“Niall?”

“Yeah. You guys are okay now right?” He asked. I didn’t answer. I looked up to see Niall and Karma walking our way. I didn’t know how I was feeling about camp at all at this point. I was excited, but this was just a little shocking. Karma couldn’t even look at me and I couldn’t look at Niall. “Everything is going to be fine.” Harry whispered pushing me into the group of teenagers. We were all so different. There was me and Brie, I’d like to think we were the normal ones. Karma, who went crazy earlier this summer. Niall, who was the nice guy. Harry, who was kinda geeky. Zayn, the football jock. Louis, the soccer jock. Liam, the cross country kid. And Perrie and Eleanor, the perfect, pretty, party girls. How the heck were we supposed to get along?

We all boarded the plane and I made sure to sit between Brie and Harry. The only two people I trusted at this point. I had to put my earbuds in halfway through the plane ride. I couldn’t stand listening to Eleanor and Perrie complain about their perfection. What did they really have to complain about, I mean come on. I felt a tug on my earbuds and took one out. 

“What are you listening to?” Harry asked.

“The Script.” I replied. I handed him the ear bud and he put it in. We jammed out for a little until I fell asleep.
