Summer Camp

Camp Starts

{Alyssa}

Once my mom pulled her car up near the cabins, I was screaming because I was so happy. Then my mom told me not to scream in the car so I stopped.

Nicole and I dash into the cabin and pick two top bunks that are in the corner of the right side of the room.

I look out the window and see a blue Toyota pull up towards the cabins. A boy with brown hair, who looks around Nicole and I's age, jumps out of the car. Is that Evan?

"Hey, Nicole, I think Evan is here. He's the brunette one, right?" I asked her.

"Yup. He's here?" She asked me excitedly.

"Yeah." I reply.

"Kay. Let's go say hi." We run outside and Nicole's face lights up with the brightest smile I've seen from her in a while.
"Hey Evan!" Nicole said, smiling wide.

"Hey. Who's this?" Evan says, looking at me awkwardly.

"Oh! Sorry, this is my friend Alyssa." She quickly responds introducing me.

I look over and notice Bryce and Josh staring at Evan with confused expressions on their face.

Nicole eventually notices too so we all run over their and she introduces him to them.

After a while I started getting worried. Jay wasn't here yet and it was almost time to go eat breakfast.

I see a car drive up and I get super happy only to be disappointed as I see Kylie walking out of the car. Not that I didn't want to see Kylie but...I was hoping it would be Jay. What if he wasn't coming?😩

Just then another car pulls up and I'm thinking, this has gotta be him...but it's not.

"Ross!" Nicole exclaims as she runs over to him and they start talking.

I've got to admit...at this point I'm pretty jealous. Nicole has Ross and Evan here with her and I'm standing here DESPERATELY WAITING FOR JAY TO COME HERE SO I KNOW WHAT HE SAID YESTERDAY WASN'T JUST FAKE!!

Ugh...I'm a mess.

Just then a van pulls up and I'm almost POSITIVE its Jay.

A boy around Nicole and I's age gets out of the van and looks straight at me. He has black hair and brown eyes.

Sure enough, it was Jay.

In my mind I was thinking...JAY! OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND UR SO AMAZING AND MY BESTEST FRIEND IN DA WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD!!!

In his mind he was thinking...Well... actually I don't know what he was thinking but I'm sure it was probably something like, I don't like you like that so stop looking at me like that!!

On the inside, I wanted to do nothing more than to go over there and give him the biggest hug in the world and tell him how much I missed him (hadn't seen him in almost 3 months) but on the outside I quickly looked away and continued talking to my friends.

I watch him from the corner of my eye and he eventually stops looking at me. He looks somewhat disappointed. Maybe he liked me after all...maybe he wanted me to go over there and give him the biggest hug in the world. Maybe he wanted me to go over there and tell him how much I missed him. I just couldn't though...I was too scared. I was scared he would step away from the hug and that he wouldn't miss me at all. Who was I kidding?! A guy like him wouldn't like a girl like me anyway...he was super smart and was in every class that had the word honors or advanced in it. I was just a girl who could spike a ball. I wasn't smart, not compared to him anyway. I was more about sports. He was more about education. A guy like him would NEVER like a girl like me. If anything he would like a different girl who was more his level. More about education...not about volleyball😢.

I start talking to my friends again and I notice Mikayla flirting around with Evan and Ross. I quickly look at Nicole and she is glaring at her.

"Mikayla, may I speak with you?" Nicole asks Mikayla.

"Sure." Mikayla replies.

Nicole and Mikayla go off in the distance but I notice Nicole was yelling and waving her hands all over the place... she was REALLY mad😁.

Five minutes later the bell rings which means it's time to go to breakfast. Of course Jay doesn't know that. He had just finished packing and he had this confused look on his face.

I start running up the hill without him because I was too scared to talk to him.

"Hey Alyssa, wait up!" He yells for me as my heart starts racing.

I slow down and take a deep breath.
"Hey, how was summer?" I manage to ask him.

"Great, except I haven't seen you until now! I missed you. How was your summer?"

HE SAID HE MISSED ME!!😍😍😍 My heart was melting but I came back to reality with the fact he didn't like me.

"Summer was good, I missed you too." I told him as he stood there smiling at me. I start running up the hill again and he says, "Where is everyone going?"

"Breakfast! Come on, don't you want some food?!" I reply laughing.

He laughs and he catches up with me running at my side.

I walk into the dining place and Jay follows me over to a table Nicole is sitting at.

"Sooooo. What are we gonna do after we eat?" He asks me.

"I think we have the choice to do boating and fishing." I tell him.

"Cool. You wanna go in a boat together? I know how to row."

"Sure." I say smiling. At this point I couldn't help but smile. The thought of us on a boat together made me so happy. I diminish the thought grasping the fact that he's NEVER going to like ME.

That's when things take a CRAZY turn.

"Hey, What's you're name?" Mikayla says coming up to Jay smiling like an idiot.

"Uh, Jay" He says awkwardly.

"Jay? That's such a cute name!" She says getting in his space.

I panic on the inside. How come I was so pathetic when it came to Jay? When I wasn't with Jay I was the most outgoing, athletic, and crazy person you'd know. When I was around him I got all weak and insecure.

"Why is this girl talking to me like that?" He whispers leaning in towards my ear.

His face was so close to mine. If he didn't like me I would think this would be uncomfortable for him but he didn't move.

"I...ummmmm." I say out loud staring into his beautiful brown eyes.

"Well anyway, here's my number." Mikayla says giving Jay a slip of paper as she walks away.

"I won't be needing this." Jay says ripping the paper in half.

"Why not? You don't like her?" I ask him.

"Trust me, I know a fake person when I see one. Besides, I already love somebody else."

"Really?" I ask holding on to hope that it's me even though I already knew it wasn't.

"Yeah." He says smiling at me. I laugh.

I notice Bryce walk past our table and he looks at Jay and I. His face suddenly looks sad and droopy. He looked like he just watched his dog get ran over by a car. Was he sad or what?

Jay and I talk and talk and talk until it's time to go down to the lake.
