HSMTMS RJ CASWEN: SUMMER CAMP SEASON 3

Part 4: So it begins (EJ POV)

After my grad party, I wanted to take time for myself before I started working at "Camp Broadway". I didn't tell anyone about me working there cause it was a last minute decision and I didn't want everyone asking me why I was working there and that I should be focused on college or my future, I just wanted to get away from everything.. At least for the summer.

This isn't my first time at "Camp Broadway", this was the place where I met NIni last summer, before all of that drama unfolded, so I am very familiar with the place. What I wasn't familiar with were the new counselors. I recognized a few counselors who were like me, they came to the camp themselves years prior, but there are a few new counselors who I have never seen before.

These new counselors were taking their job way too seriously and didn't know when to have fun, so I avoided them as much as I could. This was my last summer before college, so I wanted to have fun and enjoy it.

Camp has just started and I was glad to have my friends coming to camp this year. Seeing all of the wildcats show up to camp made me feel so relieved. I knew Miss Jenn wanted to come, but knowing Miss Jenn I was thinking she would forget or some drama emergency at school would happen and then wouldn't end up showing. but they are here, all of them, especially one curly haired boy...

A few days later at breakfast, I overslept and wasn't feeling myself, so I slumped my way to the mess hall and forced myself to sit with the other counselors while trying to eat something. I had my head down still trying to wake up, when I heard one of the new counselors talking about who they thought was cute of the incoming campers.

"Have you seen that curly haired boy from East High" the new camp counselor Lily said. "He's cute!"

I immediately heard someone talking about Ricky, so I shot my head up. I was looking right at Lily, who was looking at Ricky. She was crushing hard on him, so I turned to look at Ricky and he was staring at me. I thought he would be staring at Lily, since they talked once during the singing workshops, so I thought they had a thing, but instead he was looking at me, right at me.

"You know him, right EJ" Lily asked "You both went to East High together right? Is he single?"

Why was Lily asking me this? She has never talked to me before? I wanted to tell her NO! He isn't single, he is with m-, with, with, but I couldn't get myself to say "me" cause obviously we weren't together but I wanted us to be.

"Uhm yeah, I know him. And I don't know if he is single" EJ said, still with his head down.

"Hey, Howie. Do you know if he is single? I see you talking to that girl Kourtney from East High as well, maybe she knows if he is single." Lily said to the other new counselor named Howie.

Howie started to fluster and blush with the mentioning of Kourtney's name. I caught them making literal heart eyes at each other during dance workshops. So I knew Howie had a crush on Kourtney, but she probably didn't mention Ricky or anything about East High to him.

"Uh yeah, uh, what? I don't know anything about him. Or anyone named Kourtney" Howie said with his voice getting higher than usual.

"Sure you don't! *wink* *wink*" said Antoine, one of the other new counselors.

"SHUT UP MAN!" Howie said, nudging his elbow into Antoine's stomach.

"What about you Antoine? I see you looking at that red haired girl from East High as well, during the acting workshops" Lily said with a smirk to Antoine.

I lifted my head up looking at Antoine who was now looking at his cousin, Ashlynn. And just started to laugh quietly. He knows Big Red and Ashlynn are a thing, and she would never cheat on him, so it was funny thinking about her and Antonie together.
