                                           Clea

I woke up with a satisfied grin on my face. I must have had a wonderful dream. But like all good things, I couldn’t hold on to it…

Ah yes!

A wonderful dream about Nathaniel...

Or was it Adrian?

Hmmm….

Anyway! The sun was out and bright, a beautiful melody of birds played outside my window and Aria was shouting in my ear.

“Get up you lazy ass! We’re going to be late for breakfast!”

Oh yes.. a beautiful morning.

“Coming,” I mumbled but did not show any indication of getting up. Something soft was tucked in my arms. I looked down and the teddy’s soft fur tickled my nose. I giggled and rubbed my nose in the light brown fur. I held the teddy bear up in the air like it was a baby and looked at its cute face. I smiled at it and then noticed that the jacket’s arm was wrapped around the teddy bear’s neck like a noose.

“Oh, my poor little teddy. Was the bad jacket hurting you?” I giggled.

It was funny thinking of the jacket as Adrian and the teddy as Nathaniel. I carefully removed the jacket and brought it close to my nose, inhaling the lingering scents deeply. I smiled softly, and then grinned wickedly. I sat up and set to work. After a few seconds, teddy was wearing the jacket.

“Looking cool, teddy.” I grinned.

Someone cleared their throat and I turned to look at the source. The girls were staring at me awkwardly with open mouths.

I heard Kate whisper something like, “Love. It’s a disease. Madness is a common symptom.”

I glared at her and turned back to my teddy bear. Carefully setting him next to my window, I gave it a kiss on the head and got out of bed.

The girls started to say something. I cut them off saying, “I know, I know, let’s just get on with breakfast.”

They started to laugh and I blushed.

                              ---------------------------------------------------------------

I quickly changed into some decent clothes and started to tie my hair up when I remembered Adrian’s words. I flushed at the memory and smiled at myself in the mirror. I left my hair down, twirling the long locks a little so that they rested in waves.

“Clea?” Aria said when I met her outside the cabin.

“Yeah?”

“You’re letting your hair loose?” She asked and I could see the shocked evident on her face.

“So?” I asked her nonchalantly, but secretly I could feel my cheeks go a light shade of pink.

“Nothing.” Aria smiled, “It looks nice.”

After breakfast, I joined Aria and we went to meet Alex. We had the morning free so we thought we would go and check out his band.

Alex was a dream on the drums. He was quick and had the right sense of a beat. Soon we were tapping our feet to the music. A tall, lanky guy called Heath was on the guitar, and another guy, Pete, was on the keyboard. They called themselves Nightmare. (Don’t ask me why.) It was mostly just hard rock without any lyrics to it.

When I asked Alex who their singer was, he just smiled and said, “It’s a secret. Hahaha the other bands are going to have a shock of their lives when they find out.”

The Battle of the Bands was to take place on the day of the Camp Breakaway Party. Since this year was our camp’s turn to host it, the Breakfree kids were going to come here. We had three in for the Battle and so did Breakfree. I hoped we’d won!

“Hey babe, this is for you.” Alex told Aria and started hammering his drums. It was so awesome!!     It was fast and heart-pounding. Aria was blushing, and shyly moving sideways like a little girl.

“My turn!” Heath started strumming his guitar going all ultra-cool with it.
