"Hello losers."
"What do you want" Courtney asks, "Came to Rub it in"
"We don't mean to interrupt your little stupid private concert but-"
She pisses me off.
"We just thought that we would bring you something,"
"So your just being nice?" Courtney questions.
"Ok Own stank up our cabin and we have to let it air out."Gwen admits.
"Oh yeah and Syler, Wonderwall starts wit a B flat, you started with a C sharp." Trent smart-asses me.
"Get bent" I snap at him.
"Here," Beth says while holding a plate of Green Jelly in front of Courtney.
"No! I mean I just don't like Green Jelly." Courtney screams while jumping back.
"SNAKE!" DJ Shrieks and knocks the plate out of Beth's hands and it hits the ground.
"Dude chill, its just a gummy worm." Cody says while picking it up.
"Sorry for tripping, snakes just freak me out man." DJ confesses.
"I feel you dude, Chickens give me the creeps" Tyler admits.
Confessional:/ So suddenly everybody starts having this big confession session. Beth went on and on about how she was afraid of being covered in bugs, Harold is afraid of Ninjas, Heather even admitted that she was afraid of sumo wrestlers, and Leshawna is afraid of spiders/
"I guess my fear would be, being buried alive." Gwen speaks.
"Mine would be walking in a minefield, in heels" Lindsey says.
"I hate flying," Owen utters.
"I would never go in a plane." Izzy agrees.
"Bad haircuts!" Sadie says with sadness still in her voice and still hugging the piece of the dock.
"Oh oh I change mine to that!" Lindsey blurts.
"I'm afraid of hail. Its small, but deadly dude." Geoff confesses.
Bridgette speaks up, "Being left in the woods"
"Defusing a bomb under pressure." Cody chimes in.
"Oh wow, that's kinda lame." Duncan says.
"What yours then? Mr. Knowitall" Courtney says to Duncan.
Everyone stares at bad-boy Duncan.
"Celine Dion music store standees," he mutters.
"Um ex- squeeze me? I didn't quite get that." Cody says laughing.
"Did you say Celine Dion music store standees." Trent questions while smiling.
"Ooohhhh I love Celine Dion!.... What's a standee?" asks Lindsey, being her blond self.
"It's those cardboard cut out in music stores. It's like a flat Celine" Trent informs.
"Don't speak of it dude." Duncan says.
"So if we had a standee right now..." Courtney teases.
"Shut up!"
I can help but giggle a bit.
"What yours?" Duncan asks Trent.
"I'm afraid of mimes" Trent confesses.
"Has everyone confessed? Are we done here?" Gwen asks.
I'm hoping that everyone would forget that I'm here.
I see an smile spread across Duncan's face. "No, we still have one more..." he says as he looks at me.
Now I have everyone looking at me.
"Yeah what's yours Syler?" DJ asks.
"You know what, it's not important. It's stupid anyways." I say as I nervously laugh.
"Stupider than Celine Dion music store standees?" Geoff laughs.
"Can it!" Duncan threatens.
"No its just.... different." I say as I set the guitar down next to me.
"What is it?"
I nervously rub my arm.
"...Atelephobia..." I admit quietly.
"Atelephobia? What's that?" Tyler asks.
"Oh look at the time! It's getting late! Should probably leave." I say as I grab the guitar and I quickly try to leave.
"Oh no you don't," Duncan says as he grabs me and picks me up, "its only 8:30"
"What is Atelephobia?"
I take a sigh and I admit it.
"The fear of not being good enough for people, the fear of being rejected." I say as I hang my head.
"How did you become afraid of that?" Duncan asks as he lets me go.
"At Hillton, on my first week, I was trying to fit in. I was trying to make friends. But since I was from the United States, they all just turned and rejected me. They called me a Southern hick and a filthy American. I begged and begged my mom to have us move back down, but we couldn't. I then realized that everyone is different, and we all need at accept that. So I started my music career." I tell.
"That's actually a really great fear. We all have to admit, we are somewhat afraid of that ourselves." Leshawna speaks up.
"Yeah we have. It sucks being rejected by your peers. " Bridgette utters.
We all enjoy the fire for another ten minutes, then we head to our own cabins for sleep.
