    Jared gave her an understanding smile. "Hey, it's okay!" His smile was amused but not condescending; if anything her frantic reluctance to put her work on display was endearing. "I was never good at writing, like, poetry and stuff either."


    Evangeline snapped to attention and without missing a beat recited:


    "In summer you play at the pool
    All my friends are cool
    Outside when it's sunny
    You see robins and bunnies,
    I love summer."


    "That's very nice, Angel, did you write that?"


    "No, Jessica B. wrote it, and then she read it to everyone and Miss Day thought it was great but I think it sucks and I hate Jessica B."


    Jared blinked down at her for a minute. "Mmkay, when we get home, I think I'mma have you color a picture for me about your feelings."


    Evangeline rolled her eyes and stopped paying attention yet again.


    Jared looked back at Evie, not sure whether to laugh or be concerned.

    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; width: 300px; text-align: justify; font-family: georgia; font-size: 7pt; color: white] Lyra's compliment seemed to be washed out by the curiousity and wonder tainting her voice, yet Hellent waved it away. Of course her friend was concered about her safety! Hellent bashed herself for even thinking for one second that she'd forgotten about her.
    She perked up at Lyra's question, though probably meant to be casual it had a deep meaning. Deciding not to go down the lying road like she had with Kaleb, Hellent answered truthfully. "Eh, you know, the usual. Managed to keep myself alive and all. Hey-- did you know Evie's back?" She wasn't sure how her friend would react to that news; Hellent hadn't even asked how Lyra had felt the first time around.



    Challenge accepted, He though, grinning at her answer. Jasper had seen something small move out of the corner of his eye, and he would've ignored it if Mae hadn't waved. He lifted his hand slightly in greeting to Evangeline, giving it a little flourish until he returned his attention to the girl in front of him.
    "So, play any instruments?" Jasper enquired.


    ooc: low muse. Dx sorry for late reply again<3

    [size=22pt]Evie;Anabella;Rose[/size]
    Evie had to hold back back laughs at adorable little Evangeline. She wasn't too concerned though, she knew she shouldn't be and Jared shouldn't either. "Don't be too worried," Evie said, a smile on her face. "I was a lot like that when I was a kid. I mean, I wasn't as innocent but still a lot like that. And anyways, Angel is right," Evie added, looking down at the toddler. "That little poem did kind of suck and any girl with the name "Jessica B." sounds like a total jerk face and definitely the little girl to hate," she said, smiling down at Evangeline.


    [size=22pt]Maelie*Catherine*Tyler[/size]
    Mae smiled slightly and looked down at the drumsticks on her bag. She picked them up and waved them in his face. "Just drums," she said, setting them in her lap. "Well, that and singing, but I suppose everyone here can do that." She really wouldn't be surprised if they did, after all it was a music camp.


    "Evie?" Lyra's stormy eyes widened. She was okay with Evie. She even liked the girl. But she'd kind of broken Jared's heart when she left. For the second time. Lyra's eyes darted around the room searching for her, shining with worry for Jared. He found them, and a familiar little girl, conversing near some seats. He seemed happy enough, but... "How's Jared? How are you?"



    Lyra beamed up at Evie. The older girl was quickly winning her over.


    Jared flashed Evie a small smile. "I think she likes you." He leaned in and whispered into her ear: "And come on, Jessica B, a poem about bunnies? Sounds like that b*tch has it coming."

    [img width=510 height=95]http://i1168.photobucket.com/a…kTHEfork/diversion1v2.png[/img]
    Evie returned Jared's smile and laughed a bit at what he said. "Oh h*ll yeah, I mean who writes about bunnies? That's the mushy cookie-cutter pop star crap there," she replied, her voice low so Evangeline wouldn't hear.


    She was going to say more, she wasn't really sure what, but something to keep the conversation going when she saw Lyra. Lyra was looking at them and in her eyes, Evie could see worry there, not for her, or even Hellent but...Jared. And suddenly, Evie remembered. She remembered everything her and Jared had gone through the year before, everything they had done and all that he had discovered. All that he had gone through. All that both of them had gone through. And she remembered how she left, without even saying goodbye. For the first time since seeing Jared, she remembered how much it must've hurt him that she left without a word and just, disappeared without ever trying to get in touch. To be fair though, she didn't think he would want to see her, but still she could've tried and she knew that.

    [fancypost bgcolor=#410c0c; border-top: 7px dashed black; border-left: 0px dashed black; border-bottom: 7px dashed black; border-right: 0px dashed #a00000; border-radius: 5em 1em 5em 1em]


    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; width: 300px; text-align: justify; font-family: georgia; font-size: 7pt; color: white] She nodded softly, running her hand awkwardly through her hair. Hellent wasn't really sure what to feel about Evie... She thought the girl had always disliked her, despite her feeble attempts to start up a friendship. It seemed the two were kind of battling for Jared-- though it was quite clear, no matter how much that hurt Hellent, that Evie had won. She hadn't killed off Isabelle. There wasn't much of a contest between them anyways.
    "I don't know, we haven't talked the whole year." Hellent explained sheepishly. Well, it wasn't like she could whip out her cell and text Jared while dodging gangs and scavaging for food. "And I'm fine, of course-- really glad to be back here." She managed a small smile. "You haven't changed much, have you?"



    He raised his eyebrows curiously; Jared had never really heard of a girl playing drums, since he thought it was kind of a guy thing. They were usually just singers or guitarists. "Sweet. I play the bass and sing, too~"


    ooc: xDDD oh Jared~

    [align=center][font=times new roman]
    Mae smiled at Jasper's reply. Not too many people played bass, so it was nice to come across a few. On the other hand though, she could practically tell what he was thinking. It was the same thing everyone else thought, after all. [color=#990000]"I know what you're thinking, and don't bother denying it because all guys, and girls, think the same thing when I tell them I play drums,"     she teased, a small smile crossing her features.


    She suddenly (and randomly) realized that Mae actually hadn't stood up yet since she started speaking to this boy so he had no idea that she was so short. That would certainly be a surprise for him and she couldn't wait for it.

    [fancypost bgcolor=#410c0c; border-top: 7px dashed black; border-left: 0px dashed black; border-bottom: 7px dashed black; border-right: 0px dashed #a00000; border-radius: 5em 1em 5em 1em]


    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; width: 300px; text-align: justify; font-family: georgia; font-size: 7pt; color: white]


    He slightly opened his mouth to continue, but Mae's accusation interrupted him. Jasper let out a small laugh to it; she must've gotten used to the surprise others had felt about her instrumental abilities. "Well then, you're quite the telepathic, now aren't you?"


    ooc: lame post is lame, full of lameness and lacking muse. ;u;

    ooc;
    First off, terribly sorry for the super late reply. I've just been busy lately because first I spent 10 days in Tennessee with family and then two days after I got home, school started (and I'm a Freshman this year x.x) so that was just awful. Anyway, sorry about that ._. Also, whenever you guys get bored with the hello's we can have Bob come out and get people to sing c:



    Mae grinned giddily at Jasper's reply. "Quite," she replied simply, her voice almost raising a challenge. She wasn't sure how she could challenge someone like that but oh well. She could find a challenge in most everything and this boy probably could as well.


    "What were you going to say?" she asked, remembering that he had slightly opened his mouth before she burst in with her magnificent telepathic abilities.

    [fancypost bgcolor=#410c0c; border-top: 7px dashed black; border-left: 0px dashed black; border-bottom: 7px dashed black; border-right: 0px dashed #a00000; border-radius: 5em 1em 5em 1em]


    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; width: 300px; text-align: justify; font-family: georgia; font-size: 7pt; color: white]


    Jasper shrugged softly, his face flushing as he dropped his deep blue irises to his lap-- playing the sensitive card, of course. And heck, was he good at it. "I was going to say it'd be... Well, having a drummer and a bass player would make a pretty good pair." Jasper began, not sure how to word things at first. He shot a curious glance up at Mae, gaze swimming with possibilites.
    "For a band, I mean." he added quickly, flashing her a sheepish grin.


    ooc: it's not a problem, dearie~ hope you had fun && good luck with highschool. x3 and sure, sounds like a plan. c:

    ooc -- gah, I am so so so sorry for not replying sooner! got caught up in other things! D: i'll be more active coming up here, I promise!



    Lyra smiled, a little sheepishly. "No, not much." Not a lot had happened over the year. Only a few major events. First, her deadbeat father was released from prison on bale. Second, she kicked him out of her life, for good. She took him off her contact list and blocked him from calling her.


    She had been in a rut for a while. Now that he was allowed to call her whenever he wanted, he left her quite a few drunken messages. She never picked up the phone, but she always listened. When her brother and his girlfriend were gone, at work or something, she would sit at the kitchen table with a glass of some warm drink and listen to her voicemail. Every word of each one. Angry, hateful ones. He spouted curses at her--unappreciative b*tch, crazy skank, don't-you-know-what-I-did-for-you-all-these-years. She would cry over her phone and leave her drink unfinished at the table and wish she had the guts to call Hellent about it.


    No one could help her because no one knew. But eventually, she miscalculated--she thought Jordan and Amily were both gone. But Amily, her brother's girlfriend, was home--she listened, horrified, from behind a wall and told Jordan about it later. Her brother took her phone away, and held a little bit of an intervention. It was emotional self-abuse, he told her. Her father treated her like she was nothing, like she'd always been nothing and she always would be nothing. And she sat there and took it. But no more.


    And there was one more thing that occured over the year.
    "I actually, uh..." her voice broke and she cleared her throat. "I, um, decided to look for my mom." She jammed her hands in her pockets, stormy eyes darting away uncomfortably.



    Unable to contain himself, Jared hugged Evie one more time. "I'm really, really glad to see you," he said, a bittersweet type of joy shining in his bright blue eyes.


    He looked down at Evangeline again. "I should take her to see everybody else. She's got to go back to the car soon. Want to introduce her to the others with me?"


    He hoped Evie had remained on good terms with Lyra and Hellent. They were his friends too, and he didn't want it to be an uncomfortably situation for any of them.


    But Angel's tinkling laugh had a way of making any situation seem less tense.

    ooc;
    Psh, it's fine, I'm just glad that we've started this up again ^.^


    [img width=510 height=95]http://i1168.photobucket.com/a…kTHEfork/diversion1v2.png[/img]
    Evie was a bit taken aback as Jared hugged her again. For a moment, she just stood there, not quite realizing what had happened but then, once she did, she hugged him back. "Yeah, so am I," she replied quietly enough so that her wouldn't notice her voice cracking.


    Letting go of him, she gave him the best attempt at a smile that she could. She was pretty sure it was believable enough and even he did notice it was a fake, he wouldn't try and talk to her about it with people all around.


    "Yeah, sure," she replied cheerily, maybe a bit too cheerily but hey, she tried. "They may not be my biggest fans but I've missed them and I'd like to see what those guys have been up to," she continued after clearing her throat. "You're only gonna introduce Angel to them though, no one else? Cause, in all honestly, I don't think Jasper would be the best company," she added with a whisper and a small, joking smile. She was now returning more like she had been when she first saw him. Now that she was pushing the bad thoughts away, of course. She knew they would come back though. They always did.



    Mae raised her eyebrows at his words. The innocence act. Well, isn't that pleasant? She sometimes wondered if she had too much experience with these kind of guys but hey, she liked her bad boys. Even if she would never admit it.


    At his hasty cover-up, she laughed and nodded. "Yeah, maybe, if we can get someone to play guitar and sing. And if not, then I could always do the singing," she replied, a small twinkle in her eye and a small smile on her face.


    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; width: 300px; text-align: justify; font-family: georgia; font-size: 7pt; color: black] There seemed to be a flashback clouding Lyra's gaze, just like in the movies, and Hellent could easily detect that a lot had been going on, and the girl's casual words were anything but. Then again, out in the open auditorium, a few eavesdroppers could be dwindling, and Lyra probably just didn't want to make herself so vulnerabel at the moment-- she hoped, at least, and prayed that their trust hadn't dissolved over the year of remmission they'd been apart.
    "Your mom?" Hellent echoed in disbelief, quickly snapping out of her worries and doubts. Memories of her best friend's past flooding back; her mother had left her at a young age.
    The black-haired girl seemed to be genuinley shocked by Lyra's doings, considering Hellent's own thoughts on her parents. She couldn't-- wouldn't, rather-- look for her mother and father, not now, not ever again. Though she was told they were shot by the delinquients whom had burned her house to ashes, Hellent was never convinced that was the whole story.[/fancypost]



    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; width: 300px; text-align: justify; font-family: georgia; font-size: 7pt; color: black] "Cool," Jasper said smoothly. Deciding to change the subject and sort of switch back to himself, he continued casually, shrugging his jacket off and stuffing it on the seat beside him.
    "So, what kind of music are you into?" He wasn't exactly set to one genre; Jasper listened to whatever his current victim listened to.


    ooc: agreeed~ c: and I just got a sweet idea for an addition to Hellent's backstory~


    "Uh, yeah. No luck yet, but..." Lyra held up her crossed fingers, offering a weak smile. She really did want to find her mom. For some reason. Not because she wanted the woman in her life. Not because she wanted to beg for her mother to love her. Because she desperately, desperately needed some kind of closure. And maybe the missing Sabres lady could give it to her.


    Lyra snapped her mouth shut as a certain young stud, his little daughter, and a familiar young woman approached.


    "And how long has it been since we've seen this little angel?" She cooed, her voice betraying not an ounce of her shock or excitement to see Jared and Evangeline again--or her wariness to Evie.



    Jared laughed, oblivious to the earlier shiver in her voice. "Nope, Jasper isn't getting anywhere near this little lady. Just you, Lyra, and Hellent." He smiled supportively before looking down at Evangeline, pointing at the slim brunette and the petite re-named girl beside her. "Remember them?"


    They clicked into Angel's mind instantly. "Hellent! Lyraaa!" She cried, tottering off towards them. Jared snatched her hands before she could get too far. "Now hang on, don't go running off and trip over your own feet. Let's go say hello like normal human beings." He glanced at Evie, his smile unwavering, as they headed over to the two girls.


    Jared was not the brooding, angry rage monster he'd been the previous year. It seemed like fatherhood was changing all that. The light of his life had lit up his world. His face shone with adoration for her. He looked so much more healthy, more alive, more...happy. And it was all thanks to her.


    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; width: 300px; text-align: justify; font-family: georgia; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black] She managed a half-hearted smile in response to Lyra's gesture of hope, seemingly speechless to what her friend had attempted. Hellent couldn't help but list off reasons why she would go looking for her mother, the woman that had left her forever without warning.
    The pondering to Lyra's situation was cut short as a familiar face-- three of them, actually-- made their towards the two friends: a little, dark-haired girl with the same glistening eyes Hellent had fallen in love with, though obviously more grown than last year, a tall brunette with her hair naturally curled rather than straightened, and a very changed but familiar guy, even taller than last year.
    Evangeline, the little angel with a heart as sweet as her name, was Jared's little girl. His savior. His only reminder of his murdered soul mate Isabelle. The same Isabelle that Hellent had been forced to kill. The woman that haunted her dreams, practically tearing up Hellent's heart with every regretted breath. Seeing this adorable bundle of joy was a bittersweet taste to her. But then again, who else wasn't?
    Evie. She didn't have much to say about her; the petite girl knew that her sudden disappearance hadn't gone by so smoothly with either her or Jared; he'd practically torn himself up about it. Hellent remembered the moment they'd shared, when Jared had wiped the blood from her arm, when the two comforted each other for countless moments in a chaotic embrace, when he had grabbed her hand and pulled her along to the stage... None of that mattered now. Jared and Evie were together again, and it was as easy as naming the elephant in the room. Hellent had been shackled forever in the friend zone. Of course, she was happy for both of them, but... Whenever she saw them side by side, her stomach churned with jealousy, but Hellent would never admit it. She wouldn't touch another relationship again.
    Last but not least, Jared... Hellent had approximately a billion mixed emotions towards him. Regretting Isabelle's death, jealousy and happiness for him and Evie, warm feelings that Jared couldn't possibly return, disbelieving and wanting-to-curl-up-and-die emotions that he'd always chosen the girl that left him. She could go on and on forever, but the people standing in front of her urged her to finally speak.
    "Hey guys," Hellent managed lamely with a sincere smile, absolutely loving how Evangeline's already beautiful face lit up at the sight of her and Lyra. Three cheers for lack of social skills. "Long time no... anything, really." she said with a laugh. Lacking a cell phone-- and practically being able to hear the teenagers gasp and wail in pity at that-- the girl hadn't been able to contact any of her friends. Living in dumpsters and alleys had its quirks, you know.


    ooc: I'm just gonna put this out there: I love how we all know each other's characters so well. x3 and sooo glad we started this up again. and I'm sorry this is so long. xD[/fancypost]

    The post was edited 1 time, last by ROSIEH ?! ().

    [img width=510 height=95]http://i1168.photobucket.com/a…kTHEfork/diversion1v2.png[/img]
    Evie followed behind Jared awkwardly, managing as much of a smile as she could whenever she knew that he was looking at her. Once they reached Hellent and Lyra, she greeted them with a small smile but whenever she thought none of them were looking, the smile faded. Which was actually quite a bit, considering the fact that she was standing behind Jared and kind of off to the side so she wasn't really in the group. Seeing these girls, these beautiful, amazing girls that she wished so much she could just get over everything with and be friends with brought back so many memories-good and bad. Not to mention, Jared, her only real friend in this whole camp. And she didn't even know if he was her friend. She didn't know what exactly he was to her, actually. She would have to figure it out later. She would have to figure out a lot of things later, actually.
    She would start with Jared, in fact. Later, when they were alone, she would talk to him about, well, about everything. Find out what they were for each other, what they wanted to be. What they needed to be. She would tell him that she wanted to be with him, as his girlfriend, for real this time. And he would respond, well, best case scenario he would tell her he felt the same way. Worst case scenario, he was disgusted she would even imagine such a thing. But Jared was nicer than that, and even if he thought it, he would never say it. Above all though, she would apologize. For everything she put him through, for leaving without saying goodbye, for leaving at all. And especially for not being there for him.
    Then she would go to Hellent and try and make nice with her. She would tell her straight-forward that Evie actually really admired Hellent and thought she was gorgeous and an amazing singer. She would apologize for everything she had put the young girl through. For everything that had gone down between them over Jared, for putting Hellent through sh*t she shouldn't have been put through and for being a selfish b*tch most of the time, when the world didn't revolve around her. Best case scenario, Hellent accepted Evie's apology and they were friends, definitely not as close as her and Lyra, but still friends. Worst case scenario, Hellent spit in her face, and was appalled and offended that she would ask such a thing.
    And then, finally, she would go to Lyra. And honestly, out of the three of them, Evie was worried about Lyra the most. She felt that Lyra would be the hardest to turn towards Evie simply because Evie had done terrible things not directly to her, but to her friends. She would apologize to Lyra. Not for anything specific, because honestly, Evie never did anything to affect Lyra. At least, not directly. She was going to save the girl for last though because she figured if she could make nice with Jared and Hellent, then maybe, just maybe, Lyra would give her a better shot.
    Evie looked sad when she thought no one was looking, and a part of her knew it. But the majority of her blew it off as nothing. The part of her that did know, also knew why. It was because even though she had gone through therapy, and she was with her family again and all was well, it wasn't. A part of her felt, and always would feel like everything was not okay. Her therapist said it was guilt directed towards Jared, Hellent, and Lyra and perhaps that was a large part of it but Evie knew that that was a bad part of depression and being a pessimist. No matter how good things got for you, it would always feel like something bad was coming.
    Not only that but now, right at that very moment she was having so many trigger feelings and flashbacks and memories and feelings that it was overwhelming. She was jealous of Hellent and Lyra and how they could easily be friends because she had never had anything like that, at least, not with a girl. And the only girl she had had it with had been brutally murdered by her father. So now, Evie sat there, putting on a smile whenever she knew someone was looking but wiping away the facade as soon as they turned their back.

    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; width: 300px; text-align: center; font-family: georgia; font-size: 7pt; color: black]ooc: little bump! xD don't know how to reply with hellent at the moment, so leaving it up to reverie. x3


    ooc -- SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SO SORRY FOR INACTIVITY!


    Lyra smiled softly as Evangeline ran over to them. She bent to hug the little girl. "Hey there, angel! Look at you, you grew a foot!"


    Evangeline giggled. "Noo, Jared measured, only three and a half inches."


    It was easy for her to communicate with Angel, as natural as breathing, because she was like a tiny female Jared. Looked like him, anyways.


    She looked up at Hellent, who seemed to be having a tougher time. "I think Hellent got taller too," she said, successfully redirecting Evangeline's attention to the other girl. She felt like in order to keep a good relationship with Jared, Hellent had to keep a good relationship with his daughter. She knew it was hurting the girl to see Jared and Evie so close. Hopefully Lyra could act as a softener to ease the ache between them.


    ooc -- BLEH NO MUSE.



    Jared's smile was small and tentative, but genuine. He still wasn't sure how Hellent felt about him--or how he felt about her. Most of the anger in his heart had dissapated, since he'd had months to think rationally and analyze the situation. He held no blame-- at least not for her.


    Seeing Evangeline adore them lightened his heart, but he was still a little hesitant. He wasn't sure how they would react to him, or to Evie.


    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px dashed white; width: 300px; text-align: justify; font-family: georgia; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black] ooc: xDD it's fine revvy~ sorry for bad writing, museless. ewe
    She could only smile softly at the little angel in front of her; Hellent was pretty awestruck by Evangeline's... well, everything, basically. Her manners, her adorable sense of humor, everything. Any other kid would've been spitting at them and kicking and yelling and begging for ice cream or something stupid like that. Hellent had always hated kids with a passion, but not Evangeline. Never Evangeline.
    God, if only they could see how much she wanted to hug that blue-eyed sweetheart... However, Hellent couldn't bring herself to do so. This little girl was the daughter of someone she had been forced to murder and one of her best friends. She had taken away her mother.
    Now, the girl was aware that Jared had gotten over her doings for the most part, but killing someone wasn't something that just left your mind in a day.


    She snapped out of her horrid thoughts and even more horrid flashbacks, two still bright blue irises lifting from the ground at the mention of her name. Hellent's face twisted into a mix of a smile and a grimace as Lyra shot the attention back to her. "Eh, random growth spurt is random." Hellent laughed softly. She was still petite and tiny as heck, but she could admit she sprouted an inch or two.
    "So, how's school?" she inquired, crouching next to Evangeline curiously.

    ((Since we're all pretty much museless, I'll bring Bob in now c:))


    Bob
    Bob walked onto the stage of the auditorium and tapped on the mic twice to get everyone's attention. "Hello, everyone! And welcome to yet another year at L.O.O.S.E. Y.O.U.R.S.E.L.F. I hope you all had a great year and I hope you're all ready to perform your little hearts out! I see some familiar faces and some new ones. To all those who are coming back, you already know this but oh well. To all you new kids though, there are some basic guidelines. No fighting, no insulting other people's performances, and a few other things along the lines. There will be a bulletin board in the middle of the camp with a list of all the rules, along with sign up sheets for classes, lesson, etc. In addition, you all may put up your own papers on the bulletin board."


    "Now, I know you're all looking forward to getting up on this stage and singing for the opening performance but first, I have to address a few more things. The first of which is when we will be actually performing. Now, I know a lot of you like to randomly burst into song in the middle of lunch which is completely normal. Not at all out of the ordinary. But, we do have scheduled shows for this camp. The first of which is today, after I step off stage. Everybody will be performing, so I hope you all have something prepared cause if not, you're pretty screwed. This is called our opening show and it's pretty much just for everyone to get a feel of your style and strengths. Other than that, there will be a show every two weeks, each with a theme you have to follow. At the end of the summer, in about two months, we will have a final goodbye show where you can perform what you like, with or without others. Today's show, though, has to be only you and we have a band that will help if you need it."


    "Now, I know I've been talking for a while and I'm almost done, just give me a few more minutes. This year, we will be having visitors from bands and groups that have made it and they will help you for the short time they're here. Another thing, the rooming. I know last year a lot of people were unhappy with who they were put with so, this year we're hoping it's a little better. There's going to be two people to each room, the boy's sleep in the dorm on the left side of camp, girl's on the right," Bob continued to list off names of people who would be roommates for the summer. "...Lyra Grir Bell-Sabres and Evie Anabella Rose. Hellent Hudson and Maelie Catherine Tyler. Caleb Jones and Jared Denmark. And that leaves Jasper to have his own room. I hope you're all more or less satisfied with your roommates and remember, if it really becomes too much, you can always change but it is a very hard thing to do. Okay, I'm done talking now and I will step off the stage and request for everyone to take a seat for our first performer, Lyra!" Bob, finished, stepping off stage to let Lyra go on.

    As Bob, stepped on stage, Evie turned her attention to him, happy for a distraction form socializing. She vaguely wondered who the visitors would be and she was already planning out what songs she would perform for all the shows. She was kind of nervous about the fact that Lyra would be her roommate but she supposed it would work out in the end. Especially if Evie somehow magically managed to make up with her. As Bob stepped off the stage, Evie made her way back to her seat and sat down, vaguely wondering if Hellent and Jared would sit with her or go somewhere else.



    Mae gave Jasper a quick smile as Bob stepped on stage. She listened to him attentively and was rather surprised with the leniency of this camp. The fact that her parents let her come here at all was surprising but with the attitude of the people here? It was a miracle. She had no idea who her roommate was but figured that she would find out one way or another. She shuffled in her seat, a bit nervous for her performance but she was confident nonetheless. She knew what she would perform anyway.

    Caleb was glad when Bob finally stepped on stage, he would now no longer be sitting there awkwardly doing nothing and talking to no one. He had absolutely no clue who his roommate was but of course he didn't, he didn't know anyone in this camp. He sat back and waited for the first girl to get on stage, wondering when he would go up and how he would compare to the other people at this camp. They were all talented in one way or another, obviously. Otherwise, they wouldn't be here, right?
