Scared By Twilight

C~24: First Campfire

Dear Alice,

I'm coming to you first because I know you would want me to.

This camp is huge and nice, the band and I got our own bunk along with another girl Tana you would really like her. She's got an I'll help you with your homework, but if you mess with me, I'm gonna beat you up vibe.

I've just finished my first dinner, Italiano, it really reminded me of you guys. It's only been the first day, and we're about to head to an assembly, so I don't have that much to write about, but I hope I hear back soon.

From your sister like best friend,

Evangeline.

"Eve, we can't be late," says Hayden pulling me up. I hit send before he can drag me out the door, though. The four of us all walk over and sit on our bunks log in front of an outdoor stage, on the stage in the back was a campfire giving it a more campy look.

"So many other entertainers." says Hayden, Tana nods, "Best of the best in their field...and so are we."

"Really cause I feel a little out of place," I say. Peter throws an arm around me, joking around. "Aw! E missing her best Cullen friend?" he asks, having Hayden laugh with him. I take his arm off from around me, "Boyfriend Peter."

The two stop laughing and look at me wide-eyed "What?" they ask. I smile, holding my hands in my lap "You heard me, Jasper and I are dating now."

"When did this happen?" asks Hayden.

"A couple weeks after school ended. We realized that we loved each other." I speak out my mind. Tana chuckles laughing, "That's...sweet, but you can't expect to hold down this guy forever, right?" she asks as if she was checking something.

Forever huh?

If only they knew!

"Have you ever dated anyone before?" asks Peter. I shake my head. "Well, no, but I've been on dates...never finished them, but at least I would sit down at the restaurant for the beginning."

"Was this back when you would run away?"

"Yup."

"Okay."

Tana puts a hand across us, "Guy, shhh, it's starting."

Spotlights begin to whisk around the stage as some sort of theme music plays, and multiple adults walk up. As the music dies down, they introduce themselves as the heads of the various arts, I kind of got bored when they started putting puns at the end of there names.

Tana must have noticed because she jabbed me to pay attention, looking back up we all see Mr. Meledy step forward "And now onto the biggest news of the night, Soul Night." he announces earning cheers.

I lean over to Tana, "What's Soul Night?"

"Just listen!"

Mr. Meledy continues, "Now as we all know, Soul Night is where anyone who would like to participate in a camp-wide and broadcasted performance may do so. But this year it's going to be a little different, this year not only can you perform but you will be competing."

Competing?

Like a contest?

A few murmurs of confusion are heard. Mr. Medley grins, "And the grand prize for the talent which comes in first is tickets to the Luner Riders concert next week, and backstage passes!" he shouts, and everyone begins cheering my eyes widen and jaw drops.

The...Luner...Riders?

IN CONCERT!!

AND BACKSTAGE PASSES!!!!

I stare at the ground in shock, "We have to win." I state, Tana looks to me, and Peter awkwardly giggles, "Haha, she loves em'!"

Tana nods. "Well, you're gonna have some tough competition."

"Yeah, especially since only one instrument is allowed per camper, I didn't bring my keyboard." agrees Hayden, okay so we have no one on keys, I smirk or do we. I look to Tana, and everyone looks at me confused, I hold my arms out wide "Hey Tana, do you want to be apart of Twilight?!"

"WHAT?!" ask Peter and Hayden. Tana smiles, "If you're asking if I'll play with you to get those tickets sure, but how about I wait till after to see how well we work together and then decide."

I nod, "That's fair, great to have you on the team." I turn to Peter and Hayden, "Now we have someone of keys problem solved, Peter you on drums, Hayden takes base, and I have my guitar!"

We all begin to walk back to our cabin, excited and tried from the news of the night when entering I went straight to the computer and log in to my email.

The Luner Riders are what got me into music.

To see them live and go backstage, we had to win, I had to win.

I begin typing to the one person who was so competitive he would know what to do.

Dear Emmett,

You said to write when the competition started.

So I need your help, next week there's gonna be this big competition, and the winners set tickets to the Luner Riders concert plus backstage passes. You know how big of a deal this would be, so I wondered if you had any advice on winning?

Besides that, it's great writing to you.

From your sister like friend,

Evangeline.

And send!

Tomorrow we would get started planning.

I've never wanted anything more in my life.
