I don't want the world to see me, 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.
Jac went over to the stage and sat on the edge. She had one leg on the stage, bent up close to her chest and the other was dangling off. She had gone out there because there was no one there. People usually didn't hang out there unless it was a talent night or something. Jac was a singer, that's why she was at the camp. She loved to sing and she was good at it. She'd gotten on a Sweeney Todd kick lately, singing songs from the movie whenever she was alone. She looked around, making sure she was alone (because she had only minor stage fright) before she began to sing.
Green finch, and linnet bird, Nightingale, blackbird, How is it you sing? How can you jubilate sitting in cages never taking wing? Outside the sky waits beckoning! Beckoning! Just beyond the bars... How can you remain staring at the rain maddened by the stars? How is it you sing anything? How is it you sing? Green finch. and linnet bird, nightingale, blackbird How is it you sing? Whence comes this melody constantly floating? Is it rejoicing or merely aloaming? Are you discussing? Or fussing? Or simply dreaming? Are you crowing? Are you screaming? Ringdove and robinet is it for wages? Singing to be sold? Have you decided it's safer in cages singing when you're told? My cage has many rooms damask and dark... Nothing there sings, not even my lark. Larks never will, you know, when they're captive. Teach me to be more adaptive. Ah... Green Finch, and Linnet Bird, nightingale, blackbird, teach me how to sing. If I cannot fly... Let me sing.
She had gotten so into her song, that she hadn't realized someone else was there at the stage with her. She smiled to herself when she finished singing, until she saw the other person. She looked over at the person in shock. "How long were you there?" she asked.

Aiden walked into the room, the stage was lite up with the lights, he once played on this stage actaully a couple times with his band, he missed playing here. He saw the girl sitting there and she was singing, she had an amazing voice. Her hair stuck out the most, as he walked up to her she stoped singing, he sat up against the stage. He flicked his jet black hair to the side, but still slightly over his eye. He looked up at her as he heard her speak to him. "Oh, i just got here actaully." he said smiling at her. "Your a very good singer, i must say." he said looking at her. "Well, im Aiden."

"Uhm, thanks," she replied. "I'm Jac." She had seen Aiden around the camp before, but had never talked to him- she could say the same thing about most of the camp. She'd done a bit better with making friends that summer though, after all she had finally became friends with Axel. At least, she considered them friends. "So, uh, how long have you been coming to the camp?" she asked him, with a smile. She was surpised at herself. No snappy remarks, no sarcasm. Maybe that summer would be different.

He looked around at all the changes that were made since last time he was here. "I've just started coming here this year, to see how it is." He said as he flicked his hair once again, he always did it, it was like a habit that he needed to stop. He jumped up on the stage and let his legs dangle. He looked back up at her "So, how old are you?" He was just being curious, like he always has been. He looked down, wondering when his band was playing next, he missed it they never really practiced yet this week, but he didn't like to jump to conclusions.

"I'm seventeen," she replied. "This is my third year at camp." She'd fallen in love with the camp the moment she read about it. She begged her parents to let her go the first year. At first they were hesitant, but seeing as just the thought of going to the camp made her happier than they'd seen her in a long time, they let her go. After that first summer, all she had to do was tell them she wanted to go back and it was done. "So, what do you do? Talent wise, I mean."

He glanced back at her, "Oh well, I like this camp already its awsome, there's so many things to do." He said smiling at her, but just missed all of his band members. He looked up at the lights they were all on, except for the colourful ones. "Well, im in a band lead singer, and can play drums and guitar." He said smiling missing all the old times, "I haven't played at a show for a while, and i miss it." He said looking down at his jeans, he started fidgiting with his hands. "Do you have a talent, besides singing." He said smiling at her.

"Really? That's cool, I've never been in a band. I've always been more of a solo person," said Jac. When he asked if she had any other talents she shook her head. "Not unless you count scaring people away." After she had started blocking people out, her brother had jokingly told her that was one of her talents. He hadn't meant to hurt her feelings when he said it and felt horrilbe when she got upset. It always stuck with her though, that sentence; because in a way her brother was right. She had a habit of scaring people away.

He grinned, then let out a little bit of a laugh"Well, how do you manage to scare people away from you.?" He said looking at her, and didn't mean to laugh, but it just came out of no where. He layed back making his body just flop down on the stage, he then turned his head and looked at her. "Well, you should be in a band with that voice that you got, or audition for something!" He said smiling at her, he smiled a lot, and sometimes he thought it would freak people out, but it wasn't a bad thing, its better to smile then cry his mom always told him.

Jac smiled at his reaction and said, "Well, I've been told I can be quite hostlie. I don't usually get along with people so well. This one guy has been trying to be my friend for the past two summers. I've only finally started opening up to him." She laughed when he flopped down on the stage. "I do talent shows and musicals, but I've never auditioned for a band. I can't write my own music either; I've tried, it was a disaster." She laughed at the memory of her horrible attempt at songwriting.

He laughed again at her, "Hmph, well will it take you 2 years to be my friend." He said just joking around then laughed, he sat up again and fixed his hair, he hated when his hair wasn't perfect. He smiled at her "Well, i think you should audition for a band, your an amazing singer, and it takes a while to be able to write your own music, well it took me a while at least" He smiled at her again, then looked at his shoes,he needed new ones, since these ones were so old from skateboarding it wrecked them.

Jac laughed when he asked if it would take two years for him to be her friend. "Well, I'll have to think about it," she replied. She smiled when he said she should audition for a band. "Thanks, I might do that, sometime," she replied. She noticed him staring down at his shoes, and she laughed slightly at the state of them. "Uhm, I think you might need new shoes," she said through her laughter. It was nice talking to Aiden. He was a really neat guy. She could see herself being really good friends with him, easily. She was having no problems opening up to him, and she liked that a lot.

He opened his mouth wide at her then laughed "Well yah i think i do need new ones, its all from skateboarding, doing those tricks walking in water, just random things." He said grinning at her. He stood up and fixed his pants, they were so tight he has to jump in them, he smiled at just thinking about it. He looked down at her, "Well, what now?" He said looking at her.

She sat there thinking for a few minutes. Then she smiled up at him. "Well, you've heard me sing, so why don't you sing for me?" she suggested. She loved listening to other singers, especially when they were good. There was just something...calming about it. She didn't know what it was, but listening to someone singing always made her feel better when she was upset.

He smiled at her "Well you see, i don't really sing,im not that graet at singing, in my band im the screamer." He laughed, and really didn't now how to explain it. He sat down beside her, he never good sit still, he loved just walking around or even dancing, he was so outgoing that he didn't care what people thought about him. He smiled at her.

"Oh," she replied laughing a little. "Screamo band or just a mix of everything?" she asked. She liked music; and, she listened to a wide variety. She'd listen to country, pop, classic rock, heavy metal, alternative, screamo...as long as she liked the song, she'd listen to it no matter what genra it was in. She thought it was kind of cute the way he couldn't seem to sit still. She smiled at him. She thought he was cute, but didn't think she could see herself in a relationship with him. He seemed like he'd make a really good friend for her, though.

A smile hit his face, "Well, its mostly just screamo in all of our songs, but sometimes we sing in a little bit of them." He looked up and started doing the pig squeal, and then laughed from the look on her face. "But i do like to sing on my own time, without people listening like in the shower" He started laughing "I'm just kidding!" He use to sing in the shower, but who doesn't?

Jac laughed lightly and shook her head. The boy was pretty hyper; but, he was a great guy. She felt like she had known him for a long time already. It was a nice feeling. At least this boy didn't confuse her like another one did. She frowned slightly when she thought about Axel; but, smiled again and looked up at Aiden. "So, besides when you're screaming into a mic and playing instruments, what do you like to do?" she asked, wanting to know more about him.

He smiled, when she made the frown, his blue jeans caught his eye as he looked down at them, they were pretty bright. He wouldn't wear any other jeans but skinny jeans. He looked back up at her "Oh, well are you making fun of me screaming in a mic!"He said smiling at her, "I'm just kidding" he looked back down "Well, I like spending time with my friends, and go skateboarding." He looked back up "Oh and shopping. . . I'm such a girl!!" He laughed at himself for saying that, he didn't think he would, but he didn't care either what people thought about him. He hated people right off the bat if they judged him. His face lite up "What about you!" He said grinning at her.

Jac thought for a second. What did she do in her free time? "I guess I spend a lot of time with my family...and the few friends I have. I take self-portriats a lot when I'm bored...which is quite often actually. I like going on walks at night, especially if it's a nice night," she said. She giggled a little and said, "Wow, I sound really lame." Her life was pretty boring. She spent a lot of time shut up in her room, at least she had since jr. high. She didn't really remember what she did at the beginning of seventh grade.

So get on your knees And pray for forgivness We all carry these things Inside that no one else can see Aiden smiled at her "Well that seems like fun, i like taking pictures of myself a lot too, but with Friends also. I don't know where my family lives anymore." He said looking at her then back down again "You don't sound lame, you sound kinda cute." He smiled at her, She had already became a friend, hes made a lot of friends since he came here, this camp actually made him happier then where he was living before, he wanted to stay here forever. He looked back up at her, and grinned "I'm bored!" he said a lot of random things, it just makes people laugh, because he sounds like a complete loser when he says things randomly.

Jac smiled and laughed when he said that he was bored. She held out her hand and said, "Hello, Bored, it's nice to meet you." She laughed a little at her lame joke and said, "Well, how do you suggest we help you get over your boredom?" Usually, Jac wouldn't be joking around and laughing with someone she just met; but, Aiden's personality just made her want to smile. She was happy to think that at the end of camp she could say she made at least one friend.

He laughed "You see that's how I roll!" He smiled at her face and got up, He saw the stereo to the side of the stage he went over and turned it on. He changed the station to techno and started dancing around making a fool out of himself, but he didn't care just kept going, he then stopped and looked at her.

Jac laughed and smiled as she watched Aiden dance around the stage. When he looked over at her, she shrugged and stood up. She smiled at him and said, "I like dancing, but I don't think I have your skill." She had always loved going to parties with her friends and dancing with them, just having a good time. It was always fun. She smiled at him again before she herself started dancing, knowing full well how silly she looked. She didn't really care though. She'd rather have fun and look silly than be...boring.

He smiled and started break dancing, he started break dancing when he was young like 10 years old, and now he loves doing it and will do it anywhere, he smiled at her "Hmm this is cool music, i love it!" He said looking at her, he stood back and and looked at her.

"Really?" she asked when he said that he liked the music. "I only listen to this kind of music when I'm dancing. I'm more of a rock chick." Her music collection had changed dramatically since junior high. Back when she tried to fit in she had a CD for every band that was 'in' because her 'friends' did. She didn't care about that anymore, and just listened to what she liked, which was usually songs that weren't so...well, like dancing music.

He said smiling brightly, then looked at her "Well i listen to a lot of screamo and thats pretty much it except for techno sometimes." He looked at her and turned down the music so they wouldn't get intouble, he didn't even think they were aloud to be in there.

Jac smiled and said, "To each their own. I love music, and listen to a little bit of everything; but, still mostly anything in the rock genra is something I like." It was quite humorous, at least to Jac, the many different ways the 'rock' category was broken down into. Half of them were the same thing, just with a different name. She thought it was even funnier when people got upset about a band being put into the wrong category. It was just music, and it was good...that was all that really mattered in the end. "I've not had ice cream in a long time," Jac said, in a random realization that it had been a few months since she'd had any ice cream.

He laughed at what he said, and him acting like a complete loser in front of a girl, wasn't anything new, it was normal in his eyes. It's just showing that he doesn't care what they think, you ethier hate him or you love him right away. He flicked his hair to the side, out of his face but it just fell in the exact spot. He laughed at what she said being so random "Perfect, your random. . hmm i want ice cream now, i haven't had it in forever either.!" He smiled at her.

"You know, I actually have no clue if we're allowed in here," she said as she looked around. She hadn't ever thought of it possibly being 'out of bounds'. She smiled when he said that he wanted ice cream. "The only thing that sucks is they keeped it locked up in the walk-in freezer in the kitchens until special nights that they serve it. It's a waste of perfectly good ice cream." She crossed her arms as she talked. She thought it was kind of stupid to keep it in the freezer where the campers weren't really supposed to be.

"I think we need to like, find somewhere that has ice cream, it sounds good right about now." He stood up and started walking back and fourth and randomly jumped of this stage doing a kick flip in the air, another skateboarding move. [b]"Yes, you just love me doing random things" [/b][/i] he started laughing, he seemed pretty happy meeting a new person already, hes been meeting new people everyday so far.[/color][/center][/size]
