this is going to be a very short story. it was a one-shot, but i was too tired to finish writing it, so i decided to partition it. hope you guys are okay?
it is a *drum roll* Jella One-Shot! Whoop! Whoop! (dancing over here) so, i hope you are having some fun, this might be boring. i might edit it later on, but i wanted to see how you would react to me being this random!
let the story begin then, and don't forget to tell me what you think!
I had been seeing this very pretty girl around, but I hadn't really paid attention to her. She had been one of Tess' lemmings before they had a falling put, and she had joined the Hasta la Vista Crew last year at the last minute.
This year, she had volunteered to be a Camp Rock Counseller. I was assigned to deal with the kids because I was qualified and intelligent enough to handle them. She, on the other hand, was assigned to the fashion and apparel class.
She had long, dark, luscious and wavy locks of hair, with a lovely face. She was short, and anytime I met her, she was dressed to kill.
Okay, to kill me.
Her name was Ella.
And mine is Jason Gray, a 1/3 of the famous band, Connect 3.
This, right here is how I got to reveal my feelings for Ella this summer. The same summer that Camp Star threatened to end our summer.
If you haven't ever felt this way, or you are impatient, then bail out. But if you wanna know how it went, well read on. Okay, now, lets' do this.
Oh, wait. A bird . . .
After Shane fell off the back of the truck because we had tied his shoelaces together (Nate and i) , we went to the front to join our uncle Brown who had announcements to make on this summer. As I joined him on stage, I saw her there, she had probably been doing back-up with Peggy, Tess and Caitlyn for Mitchie's song which we had missed, unfortunately, all thanks to Shane who was now looking really happy to see her. They were so cute!
Anyways, there she was, Ella, looking good as ever. I mean, its like her talent or something!
I smiled at her, but she was too busy looking at Shane and Mitchie who were in their own world. My eyes met with Peggy instead who gave me one of those mini waves.
It was so cute, till I kind of got distracted watching a bird on a tree. . . oh, my, I love birds.
Then I heard bangs. I freaked out and tried to hide under my jacket, before remembering that Ella would need to be protected. Maybe I could run over, scoop her in my arms and fly away like Superman? However, my fears were dashed, and so were my hopes to save her when we found out they were mere invitations to Camp Star's bonfire.
Yeah, whatever.
So, we got back from Camp Star with fewer Counselors than we had had before. I hoped things won't spiral out of control from there.
Nate, Shane and I got to share a cabin. Tonight, I was so tired, you know after having to wade into the water to fetch that Junior Rocker's web book. Okay, I don't know why, but he kind of scares me a little bit.
While Shane was out, and Nate was busy thinking of this girl he met at Camp Star while strumming the guitar, I decided to have an early night and fall asleep. I mean, tomorrow we will find out what Brown wants to do about Camp. I just hope everything works out.
Too bad there are no birds at night to serenade me. oh, well, I will manage.
"Wake up Jason!"
Nate was jumping on my bed like a little kid. Ugh! He is SUCH a kid!
"Where's Ella? Does she need any help?" I said, sitting up quickly. Nate laughed.
"Having a good dream, aren't we?"
"Shut up and get off my bed Nate!" I said, trying to kick him off, and when he wouldn't budge, I shoved him. Ouch! He landed on his bum.
"Jason's got a crush on Ella!" Nate yelled and I chucked a pillow at him. he dodged and it hit Shane instead who was still asleep. He mumbled cutely in his sleep. Nate and I had frozen for a little while at first before we went on talking. You do not want to wake Shane up if you aren't ready with a back-up plan.
With a back-up plan.
I need to talk to Ella, somehow. A 'hello' will be a great start!
Look at me being all serious without getting distracted by bir . . . oh, look at that pigeon!
"You can't shut down the Camp!" Shane said, looking like he was gonna die.
he had a point. we had just gotten here!
"I am sorry Shane, but I have to. I know that you probably had plans and everything, but I can't keep the campers here. We barely have any staff left as it is."
"Can't we do something? Can we stay if we figure out a way to solve the staffing problem?"
"Sure. You can stay. I feel bad that the summer is starting but we are on the brink of closing, Nate."
I saw Nate smile, and for some reason, I knew he had an idea in his head.
"We need Counsellers," Nate said after he outlined the entire problem for us.
"Will they drop from heaven?"
"The only things that drop from Heaven are birds. If we need any help Shane, or if we want to solve any problems here, the solution is right here." I said, still thinking about Ella who passed by carrying her beach bag.
Nate stared at me for close to a minute.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked.
"Yeah, why?" Shane piped in
"Jason, you are a genius!" Nate exclaimed. "We should totally get volunteers!"
"Where from?" Shane and I chorused.
"Camp!"
So, we told Mitchie, who got Barron, Sander, Caitlyn, Peggy and beautiful Ella to join us and become counsellers. Oh, Tess wasn't there coz she was across the lake at Camp Star.
Brown loved the idea, and so we prepared to resume with Camp activities soon.
Mitchie was doing most of the scheduling, and she was loving her work. However, I ended up being stuck with kids who attacked me less than five minutes after I walked into the room. I screamed and tried to shake themoff my back, till eventually, I was able to hide under the table and start making my bird house.
Yes, just as I was about to complete one side, a kid threw a ball and it hit it. The house crumbled. Nooooooooooooooooooo!
That's it!
I have had it with these kids!
'You will have to buy tighter pants and learn how to play the tambourine.'
Shane did that. I do not understand why he is touchy about it. even Nate is doing the same thing now. his jeans are a little too snug around his bum.
I saw Ella today. I said hello and she gave me a smile. It was so pretty. *sigh* she is pretty amazing. Saw her working with the class on fabrics today. She was so good! No wonder she has amazing fashion advice.
Like how she told me to dress in white more often, saying it makes me look kind of cute.
Kind of cute. *sigh*
And brown brings out my eyes. *sigh*
She is so pretty. Prettier than Peggy, though I liked Peggy. I had a crush on her. But peggy has a boyfriend, or has had one since she was thirteen.
I should hang out with her more often.
We are going to compete against Camp Star in Final Jam. Its been a few days since we stormed their stage and sang 'Its On' to them.
We have been working really hard. Even I have been working hard with the Juniour Rockers. Mitchie is a little too pushy now, and Shane's worried.
So, we are having this water fight to lighten everyone up.
BOMBS AWAY!
INCOMING!
COMPROMISED!
Ella and I ended up infront of each other, and we laughed at the way everyone was getting sprayed with water.
"Hey, you are wet!"
"You too!" I said, spraying her hair.
Oops!
"My hair!"
"Sorry!"
"Its okay!"
"So, . . . " I started but I got cut by someone hitting me with a balloon. And she vanished. Too bad!
But I had managed to talk to her. That's what mattered.
Okay, I saw Ella dancing when we were performing 'Heart and Soul' and I almost forgot the song when or eyes locked. Good thing I am a natural at guitar playing.
She is so beautiful, I can't take it anymore. I have to ask her out today.
I find her at her class, making some costumes. She is so busy. And I am so proud of myself so far for not getting distracted by birds.
I do a little dance in my head.
"Hey, it is just you."
"Just me. I decided to come in because you have the lights on."
"Oh, well, its been a long, hard day today."
"Yes, it has."
She tapped at the sewing machine, then looked up at me. I looked at her and noticed her lips. They were so . . . kissable.
Where is my head running to?
I have never thought that way about a girl before.
"Earth to Jason!"
Oh! "Sorry about that. I was just thinking of some stuff."
"Like what?"
Like you. "Oh, just guitar stuff."
"Are you worried about the performance?"
"No." just a little.
"We will do fine," she laughed. "They got nothing on us."
"Except the stage," I said.
"It is really cool," so she had noticed it too. Okay, it was kind of obvious, wasn't it?
"Yup, it is."
"Hey, have you noticed that there are no birds at their stage's trees?"
"Are you serious?" are you kidding me?
"Yup. Don't tell anyone, but I like birds."
"You do?" this is totally awesome!
"Yes. Just don't tell a soul."
"Camper's honor," I said, and she laughed. We kept silent for a while before I spoke again.
"I have a secret to tell you."
"So, Jason has a secret to trade too?"
"I do. I think its really nice that you like birds, because I am too, and I now have something to talk about when I am with you."
"Haha, I am surprised!"
"You should be."
We stared at each other for a while before she looked down and started to clear up.
"Turning in early?"
"Yes, it has been a busy day today."
I smiled, and got up, she followed, and I opened the door so she could leave first, just like my dad had taught me. she smiled back at me. I offered to walk her to her cabin.
"We should hang out sometime." We had just said our goodbyes and she was heading into hercabin.
"That's a great idea," I said, "I had fun talking to you yesterday and today."
"Same."
"Could I have your number so I can text you?"
"Sure," she smiled and we switched phones. Nice!
I kissed her cheek and she blushed, so did i. I hope I haven't ruined any chances of us getting to hang out.
Before I went to bed, she texted me goodnight. After replying, I found myself wearing a goofy smile, like the one Nate had on after coming back from serenading Dana at Camp Star. I should ask him for details. Who knows, I might pick up some pointers from him!
After all, Nate ALWAYS gets the girls.
