After we eat dinner we all sat down around the campfire. In the front of the campfire was me and my friends, and a couple of other campers, wanting to hear the Apollo kids sing a couple of songs.
"Hey Aiden, how about you play that song you learned for maple?" James asked Aiden and he became red. "What's this song he's talking bout?" Maple asks Aiden, grinning.
"Oh it's just this song I heard and it reminded me of you..." He says smiling and blushing.
"Well let me hear it!" She said sitting closer to him and smiled. "Well... Okay..." Aiden said nervously and grabbed his guitar.
"Hey Aiden I can back you up on it if you'd like, it reminds me of someone too," James told Aiden then winked at me... Umm.. This wasn't gonna end well. I could feel alex sitting straighter and tensing, looking up from his book.
"Sure!" Aiden said smiling.
Just then raven walked up behind me and sat down.
"This is gonna be interesting," she whispers in my ear. I nod quickly. And Aiden begins to play a quick beat, I immediately recognize the song, it was one of me maple and Ravens favourites, she's not afraid by one direction.
"She sneaks out in the middle of the night, yeah
Tight dress with the top cut low
She's addicted to the feeling of letting go, oh-woah, let it go.
She walks in and the room just lights up
But she don't want anyone to know
That I'm the only one that gets to take her home, oh-woah, take her home" Aiden sings in a beautiful voice, what can I say, he has a gift.
Then James began, getting up and walking too me.
"But every time I tell her that I want more
She closes the door" he says while grabbing one of my hands. As they begin the chorus.
"She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild
How come she's so afraid of falling in love?
She's not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she's so afraid of f-f-falling in love, love" they sing in harmony as all the couples at our camp start to get up and dance together, oh no. James drags me up by my hands and starts to sing right too me as I look around awkwardly with everyone cheering.
"Maybe she's just trying to test me
Wanna see how hard I'm gonna work
Wanna see if I can really tell how much she's worth, what you're worth"
James sings to me. I can feel my self getting red as he intertwined our fingers, even if it was a fast song it seemed as if he wanted to slow dance right there, and it began to get really awkward. I looked around for something to look at other then him, and my eyes fell on Alex. Alex was sitting and watching everyone around him when a girl that I recognized from the Aphrodite cabin walked up to him.
"Maybe all her friends have told her, Don't get closer ‒
He'll just break your heart" I could hear Aiden signing to maple.
Alex moved his lips as if to say "hey Leila!" to the girl that went up to him, I could see her looking nervous as she awkwardly asked him to dance. He looked at his feet for a couple of seconds then nodded his head
"But either way she sees in me
And it's just so hard, so hard
'Cause every time I tell her how I feel
She says it's not real" James sings. I could tell James wanted me to look at him, but I couldn't believe my own eyes, Alex was actually going to dance with this girl. He began 'dancing' with her by shifting his feet back and forth as she held his hands and grinned at him while dancing. I felt a pain strike in my stomach and flinch. James fingers moved my head so I could look at him. "You okay?" He mouthed while Aiden sings. I nod and look around awkwardly as they both being to sing the chorus again.
"She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild
How come she's so afraid of falling in love?
She's not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she's so afraid of f-f-falling in love, love" They sing and then wait as a little instrumental comes on.
"Hey Zander!" Aiden yells to his friend.
"Ya?" He responds
"Sing the next line, your the best at it."
He quickly thinks about it then nods in agreement.
"When I say that I can do it no more
She's back in my door" Zander sings in a deep, sexy voice. I was taken aback by his singing, he was amazing. And I was almost positive Zander was staring right at raven when he sang, as she was talking to spencer across the fire, telling him about how a bow and arrow is soooo much better then a sword. I looked over to Alex and leila who were both laughing kinda awkwardly. Aiden laughed in a glad tone as Zander finished the note.
"good job!" Aiden yelled to him with a grin. And James and Aiden finished off with the chorus one last time.
"She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild (running wild)
How come she's so afraid of falling in love? (falling in love)
She's not afraid of scary movies (she's not afraid)
She likes the way we kiss in the dark (kiss in the dark)
But she's so afraid of f-f-falling in love, love
She's not afraid
She's not afraid
No, no, no, no, nooo" they sang in harmony as the song ended. Thank goodness, i was so sick and tiered of holding James's hands and looking around awkwardly. I sighed and ripped my hands from his.
"Wait." James said and handed me a charm bracelet with a little red heart hanging off of it.
"So you don't forget about me during you quest," he says with a grin.
"Thankyou," I said while admiring it.
"No problem, so, umm I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime." He asked me.
"Oh," I respond awkwardly,
"I umm I don't think so James," and he frowned and slouched in sadness.
"Well, um, maybe when I get back though,!" I tell him trying to make him feel better.
"Score!" He yells out and grins at me.
"Great to know, Willow! Ill talk to you later about it! See you then, beautiful!" He finished with a wink then walked away. Wow, no boy had ever called me that, I blushed and smiled at the ground. My head quickly went up when I realized a lot of people had left, so I began to make my way back to my cabin. Then quickly stop in front of the Aphrodite cabin when I hear a familiar voice.
"Thanks for dropping me off at my cabin, Alex!" I hear Leila tell Alex.
"Oh no problem, see ya later Leila..." He says awkwardly and turns away.
"Oh wait!" She says and goes up to him.
"We should do this again," she says while putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Oh, umm, maybe, ya..." He continues like he really didn't want to talk.
Then quickly Leila leaned in and pecked him on the lips. I stood there in astonishment.

*FLASHBACK*
"Alex, stop," I tell a young blonde boy, to be about the age of 6. "Aw common willy! Just one kiss!" He says leaning in. I giggle and push him back. We were sitting on a tree branch, looking out at fields of wheat. "Pleaseee" he pleads. "Alright," I sigh, "Just one." Before I knew it alex had leaned in and pecked my lips. Then as soon as it started, it ended, he smiled at me and then hit my shoulder. "Tag!" He yelled. "You're it!" He said then jumped off of the branch. "Hey!" I yelled back. "Not fair!" I yell as he runs off into the fields, me running after him. And it slowly fades out.
***
Alex pushes his lips off of Leila and quickly excuses himself. Leila walks back into her cabin, half crying. Alex storms off of the porch and heads to the left, right in my direction. He stops as his eyes land on mine. I had a blank expression on my face as I tried to find the words to say. Alex opens his mouth to speak, then closes it, totally shocked. "You-" alex begins. "Saw?" I finish his sentence, cutting him off. "Mhmm.." I say, my voice still in shock. Alex opens his mouth to say something else, but then, quickly to stop him from saying anything else, I run past him, straight to my cabin. "Willy wait!" He yells at me, but I ignore him and run into my cabin, and shut the door behind me. My head was spinning, that was the most awkward moment I have ever experienced. I quickly run to the washroom and get my orange pajamas on (orange short shorts and an orange t-shirt that has a picture of a birch tree on it, raven and maple had stolen them from a clothing store for me for Christmas.) I walk to my bed in the corner of my cabin, and collapse into it, falling asleep instantly. And I began dreaming.

Fanfic"If you had a choice, who would you choose?" He asked me. I shook my head vigorously. "I'm not answering that," I answered looking at him while he looked into the distance, he seemed to always be in his own little world. "It shouldn't be a choice,"...
