Our boss has granted us our first day off. After all pre camp training is almost over and the chaos of campers arrival begins in just two days. I feel that I am ready for it. But I'm very nervous.
Our last training of the day is to explore other program areas that we know nothing about. I grew up here. I feel that I know a lot of other areas. The only one that is new to me is Music. I told Bree, " I want to go the Music studio and see what goes on there." That program didn't exist when I was here as a camper" Bree looked at me and laughed. " You just want to go there to see Mischa !" I couldn't help but smile at her. "Ok you're right, you're onto me alright. " " Fine " she replied we will go visit music but then you have to go visit Drama with me. " " I guess I replied. I was reluctant to explore the drama cabin because I now knew that the drama director was the one and only NIcola. Who was still nice to me don't get me wrong. But she was hiding something. I could just tell. But I am certain. its exactly what I think.
As Bree and I enter the cabin that houses the music program. We can hear music playing and a few staff members are gathered around. I see Mischa in the middle of the group a guitar in his hands, he's singing too. He has the most amazing voice. I swear he could be in a band.
I look at Bree. She whispers " Calm down, Down get your panties all in a bunch" "too late I tease.
Mischa looks over at us, smiling, waving for us to sit down with the rest of the staff that has gathered. Hi Leah, he says softly. Smiling at me. I can feel butterflies begin to flutter in my belly. " Hi" I say back. He smiles at Bree. He then begins to play again. This time singing a song that is familiar to me. Its a boy band song. " What makes you Beautiful" by One Direction. He looks at me a few times when he's singing and I can't help but wonder if he picked this song because it was for me. I wanted to think so. Then he sang ' Time of your life" By Green Day. he was beautiful. I was smitten. I knew him now for almost a week. Crazy.
After our mini concert by Mischa was over he walked over to me, " Hey Leah, glad you got to see me play." Me too!" I replied suddenly feeling a tiny bit shy. " I always sing at campfires so you will get to hear more soon. " Unless you ask me, maybe ill play more just for you." "Really? I said. That 1D song is one of my favorites." You can play that for me anytime!" He smiles and says .. " That song fits you" Then I spit it out, I know that girls are not technically supposed to be asking guys out. But it wasn't really doing so. " Mischa, Do you have any plans for night off tonight?" " Not really, He replied. Probably, just practice music" Do you want to come out with Bree and I?" We are just going out for a bite to eat. Then some shopping!" " Shopping with two women? , Sounds like fun" He laughed. " But , sure I'll go with you, " The butterflies in my stomach were flying a million miles an hour now. " Ok , sweet. Meet in the parking lot at 7?" I have my car there." " Ok" He replied See you then!" "Looking forward to it" I replied smiling but looking down at my feet. " I am too" He said softly.
Omg freaking out... Bree was freaking out too. " See , I told you he like you!" Now I have to find the perfect outfit. ....
