HSMTMS RJ CASWEN: SUMMER CAMP SEASON 3

Part 5: Feelings Evolved

The next morning Ricky woke up feeling way better, like he had the best sleep of his life. He could feel the sun shining through the room, but when he looked around, he noticed he wasn't in his own room. He started to feel scared and looked to see if he could recognize anything. All he saw was an empty bed next to him. Where was he?

"Good Morning sleepy head. You missed breakfast, so I brought you a plate." A smiling EJ said walking through the front door.

"Uhm thanks." So I was in EJ's room, got it. What happened last night? How did I end up here?" Ricky said, rubbing his eyes awake.

"Wow you must have been really tired, if you don't remember anything. Well last night, I saw you at the beach laying down and we started talking. You looked really tired, so I invited you back to my room, so you can get some sleep. You said you couldn't sleep cause of Big Red's sleep machine, so I offered you my extra bed" EJ said to Ricky, still smiling.

"Oh okay, thanks man. I appreciate it" RIcky said shyly.

"No worries. You can sleep here anytime you want" EJ said with a slight smirk. "I woke up before you did, but didn't want to wake you up for breakfast. You looked so cute and peaceful, so I just let you sleep." EJ said smiling

"Uh thanks. I needed that sleep. Thanks for breakfast too" Ricky said, not looking at EJ. "I should probably go and get ready for the day. Thanks again" Ricky said quickly, while leaving EJ's room.

"Uh yeah, see you arou-'' But before EJ could finish RIcky was already gone.

Why did EJ let me sleep in? I mean I didn't mind it, I needed that sleep, but he could have woken me up for breakfast. Ricky was saying to himself with a confused look on his face. He called me cute and brought me breakfast in bed? My stomach started to turn and get warm, so I just had to get out of there as quickly as I could.

I thought I only liked Nini or had a crush on Gina, but when EJ called me cute and showed up with breakfast, it was a feeling I have never felt before... I need a cold shower.

Throughout the day, Ricky and EJ kept on staring at each other. It was mostly EJ smiling at Ricky or waving at him and Ricky would awkwardly wave or smile back. Whenever Ricky was looking at EJ though, he looked like he was studying the older boy. Trying to understand his feelings for him and why he felt "different" all of a sudden. Could it be that someone was doing a nice gesture for RIcky? Or was it the person who was doing the nice gesture that was getting to Ricky?

Ricky couldn't focus all day. He kept on falling during dance workshops, singing off key during singing workshops, and being super monotone during acting workshops. Even at meal times, he wasn't eating, he was just playing with his food. His friends finally noticed what was up with him and had to ask him what was wrong..

"You okay man? You have been quiet all day". Big Red said to RIcky at the mess hall.

"Yeah, your dancing was worse than EJ's during the musical" Ashylnn said laughing

"EJ? Why did you bring up EJ?" Ricky said angrily to the group.

"What?" Carlos asked confusedly

"Ash was just making a point. Chill out dude. Is everything okay?" Gina said sharply to Ricky

Ricky knew he had to relax and calm down or else people would be on to him and EJ. So he just shook his head and tried to change the subject.

"Nevermind. Hey Kourt, have you heard from Nini yet? " Ricky asked Kourtney across the table.
