(Jake)
"So, Its been 2 days and she still doesnt notice me! She's so beautiful with those skinny jeans and those big green eyes. I wonder how old she is? Oh please be near my age at least near 14 please! Your so beautiful! Your new name is Gorgeous. I know you wouldnt want a guy like me though all weak and beatin up. Oh God please let this be one hell of a church camp! I'm just goin on and on this is why she wont like me." I say to myself out loud in the middle of the pasture where the cross sat. I walked in circles shaking my head, of course thinking, that theres was no way this girl would ever want a guy like me Jake Simmins and that pronouced (sim-ins) people never get that right.
This girl has been walking around for 2 days now and i tried everything to get her to notice me. I walked right passed her almost bumping her, did some crazy jumps and acted like i was hurt, and even just stared at her to see if she had a feeling i was, but no im just the typical desperate-for-love guy.
Oh no. Please dont sit there right next to my friend! Man i was gonna sit there now she will notice me and I'm gonna have to talk her now. Why does this always happen? Maybe God's saying man up?
I took my plate of food and sat across from Gorgeous and cleared my throat to make sure i didn't stutter. I opened my mouth but no words came out. As i expected. I began to scavenge my mind for the right words to say to her as i sat down.
"hey," my friend Riley said sticking mac and cheese in her mouth, trying not to get it in her long blonde hair. Gorgeous just sat there for a minute and finally spoke up "what's your name?" Oh God here it comes the moment i didnt want to come too. I took out my whiteboard and wrote "Jake Simmins" on it.
"why are you writing it?" She asked as i erased my name.
"i'm mute i very rarely talk and only talk to people i'm comfrontable with like my brother and parents," i wrote.
Riley just looked at me worried. I guess she noticed that my eyes were stuck on her. Gorgeous just read that over and over again. Is she disappointed, mad, upset, what is she thinking? These thoughts ran through my mind like an unstoppable train.
"Just open your mouth force air and make alphabet sounds, its not that hard Jake," she said erasing the board. My eyes began to water. Everyone says that, I was hoping she would be different.
"Thank you God your great" i said sarcasticly under my breath so none could hear me. "You gave me a voice i hate and tease me with a girl thats just beautiful." I grabbed my whiteboard stuck it in my leather bag, swung it over my shoulder, and walked away.
"Wait my name is Ivory if you were wondering," Gorgeous yelled as I left. Gorgeous fits her and so does Ivory. I closed my eyes and walked on Thinking of her pale skin and dark hair hating the thought of her. Why does this always happen to me? Why with the one girl I actually began to like?
(Ivory)
These past 2 days have been so boring. I loved Warped Tour though, it was amazing. Now that i think about Warped Tour, Charlie pops in to my mind. He was one of the sweetest guys on the planet but yet Chralie's cousin wants me instead and a whole drama scene goes down. I wish that i never went to Warped Tour and i wish that i never met Charlie and i really wish that none of this would have happened.
From day one i told myself not to make friends because i was never gonna see them again and just back off. I never thought backing off would mean crying over Charlie in my dorm. I stayed half of the first day in the dorm crying making sure no one saw me or heard me. I hate crying so much! I hate my tears i hate Warped Tour and i hate my past.
The second day was a little better. I still haven't made friends still trying to back off but when people say "Hi" i'm not gonna be rude and ignore them. So, i say "hey" and move on. There is the weird feeling over me that there is guy whos staring at me all the time but i'm afraid to look. There was another kid who jumped off a roof and hurt his ankle while doing it. Stupid! Maybe it's the same guy looking at me. Who knows, maybe he's trying to get attetion. that was my second day of this camp. People are just weird these days. Why can't they just relax and chill all day like i do? It works perfectly for me. Maybe it's because i'm 18 and far from immaturity.
The third day was chaotic! I thought i was wasn't gonna meet people but God proved me wrong. I met so many people and a girl just like me named Riley. Riley is such a cute name. She's great but shes 15 so i'm not to pushy on being friends for long. I looked over to my left and there was the guy who jumped off the roof. He was staring at me but once i made eye contacted he freaked. Weird but cute. "Great i get all the weird ones," i said under my breath.
Oh no he's walking over here! Why is he walking over here? Might as well prepare myself for a chaotic horror.
Riley automatically says "Hi." Does she know him? Does he know her? This is just to weird. I sat for a little bit waiting i finally just got over my feelings and said "What's your name?" His eyes widen and he pulls out a whiteboard. Why does he need a whiteboard?
He writes "Jake Simmins." Ok Jake why wont you just tell me?
"Why are you writing it?" i asked. I mean hes got a mouth and a brain.
"i'm mute i very rarely talk and only talk to people i'm comfrontable with like my brother and parents," He writes. Ok Jake your weird. You can talk to me.
"Just open your mouth force air and make alphabet sounds, its not that hard Jake," I said with a sarcastic tone.
He paused for a moment and it looked like his eyes began to water. I didn't mean to hurt the kid! He threw his whiteboard in his awesome leather bag that would great with the leather jacket i have. He strolled off leaving no sign of emotion.
"Wait my name is Ivory if you were wondering," I yelled as he walked away. I thought he wanted to know me. Well, might as well be on my way to my dorm to get changed for worship.
