Nate Black was not a happy person. But before you think this story is about him being all villianous, it's not.
Maybe he was a bit too cynical and serious but he couldn't help it, it was the way he was. Nate couldn't help but laugh at the naive people around him and scowl at them for being so obivious at the disturbing and saddening world around them.
But he had to admit, his songs sounded happy, almost fairytale like. But Nate wasn't like that at all. Well, maybe when he was in love. But that was it.
Oh! And when his little sister who was only 8 came to visit him at cmap or on tour. Other than those two, he was not a happy person. Especially when he goes to camp.
Camp is stupid in his opinion. It was a place that mattered to him, okay, he knew that but it was also a place of cliques, just like his old school. So when his bandmates told him that he was in fact gonig to Camp, you could imagine the expression he had.
Actually, I'll desrcibe it for you readers. It was a mix between a look of horror and an expression of disgust. It was actually quite comical, his face. But he wasn't trying to be funny, he was restraining himself from screaming.
"WHAT?!" Oh. Well, he did anyway. "We're going to camp. Are you deaf? Ooh, can we get you those really cool hearing aids? I heard you can get designs on them! Like music notes! Or clouds! Or um... Birds!" Jason grinned at the thought of bird covered hearing aids. Shane rolled his eyes and Nate frowned, disgusted with Jason's stupidity.(Which is something you readers will read alot of. Get used to it.)
"We're going back to camp! Well, I am. You two are tagging along." Shane conceitedly waved his hand at the two frowning bandmates. Maybe Mitchie didn't get all the smugness out of his head. "Okay." Nate felt a bit happy at the thought that he could actually control his anger, something he thought he could never do.
But back to the tourbus they were on. "Oh. So we don't matter?" Jason looked geuinely hurt, like someone made fun of birds. "No, no! You guys do it's just that since last year, alot of people consider me a friend there." Shane was a charmer, Nate was pretty sure of that. And he was sure because the proof was that Jason was back to his bright and sunny self instantly.
Or Jason was just easy to convince. Maybe both. Nate pushed away the pointless thoughts and sighed. "I'll go. What the point of refusing?" Did I mention how negative he was too?
"Oh cool! Maybe we can build birdhouses together! Since you're totally single and you're not gonna fall in love anytime soon. or will you? I believe in love at first sight. Do you? I do."
Jason needs to shut up, Nate thought bitterly, rolling his eyes and grabbing his guitar and strumming it a few times. "Oh did I mention we're going today?" Shane asked casually, sipping his waterbottle right after. Nate grinded his teeth, trying not to scream once again.
Today? Why today? Why not...two years? Nate frowned at himself, shaking his head as he strummed his guitar. Two years? What was he, five? Sometimes he thought Jason was rubbing off on him.
The thought alone made Nate shudder. Soon the windows of the bus had blurs of brown and green, the sign of woods. The sign that they were close to the camp.
The camp he despised. Well, he couldn't use despise. He could use... strongly dislike. There, much better.
But he still didn't like this idea one bit. Hell, he'd rather go to another boring and intruding interview than camp.
But what was he to do? He wouldn't go on a diva tantrum, that would convince his bandmates to make him go even more. The bus halted and a girlish squeal rang throughout the bus. "CAMP ROCK, CAMP ROCK, CAMP ROCK!" Who do you think it is?
Jason, of course. Shane was also excited and excitedly jumped out of the bus with his luggage, practically glowing. Nate bitterly grabbed his bags and walked off the bus, his ears now used to the screams of millions.
It was a talent, that's what he bragged to the reporters. No, it isn't actually bragging like Shane did. It was simply pointing out a talent he had gained over the course of all the tours he been on.
He shyly pushed past all the screaming campers. One actually kissed him on the cheek before running away, squealing. Him ran into his cabin, sighing in relief. "Sometimes I wish we weren't famous." Nate mumbled, trying to wipe off a bright hot pink smear on his cheek.
"Heh, you got a bit of pink right... there." Shane pointed to Nate's cheek and he scowled and Shane rolled his eyes, unpacking immediately and quickly. Nate was baffled because well, Shane took a large amount of time unpacking. Could it be that his dream girl were waiting for him?
"You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing. I need to-" Nate coughed loudly, trying to get Shane to stop singing. Shane blushed and smiled, shoving his empty bags under his bed. "Wanna go check out the scenery?" Nate was gonna hang out with Jason but Jason had bolted out the room as soon as he ran in.
So that ruled out saying no. Nate sighed and nodded, shoving his luggage under his own bed and following Shane out the door. Shane searched around which made Nate think.
Didn't he go last year? Ah yes, he did. And he went 5 years before that. So since when did Shane not know the scenery? Nate narrowed his eyes at the lovesick boy. Shane was looking for Mitchie, wasn't he?
Soon a shriek went throughout the camp and a girl ran over to Shane, hugging him. "Shane!"
"Mitchie!" Shane's grin was backed up by lovesick eyes. By Mitchie's side was a bright girl. No, actually bright. She smiled happily, something Nate hated. "Oh hi, i'm Shane!" Shane shook her hand. She grinned excitedly back. "I'm Caitlyn! Nice to meet you Shane. Or like the Spanish say, Mucho gusto! And then you would say Igualmente. But you don't have to, I'm just saying." She giggled at her nervousness.
Nate scowled when she quickly turned to him. "Hi I'm Cait-" Nate turned away, ignoring her. Her face fell.
"Stupid happy people." Nate hissed, walking past everyone who all watched him with a shocked expression.
Yes, I'm afraid dear readers that this poor main character gets even more angry.
Ooh. Bad move, Nate, bad move.
Anyway, do you guys like it?
No? Yes?
Review then and you'll get more! :)
