Chapter One: Welcome to Camp Lake Wood

Jude dropped her duffle bag filled with summer clothes on the wooden musty floor. She looked around at the several cots in different corners of the cabin and sighed. Her mother's idea of a fun summer was sending her to Camp Lake Wood where her sister Sadie had worked at. It may sound fun to some, meeting a bunch of new people, late night fires, and spending your day at the lake, but Jude was different. She rather be back in her neighborhood with her two best friends spending the summer on her guitar and devouring $1 ice creams from the quick shop. Being an angst-y fifteen year old was a lot to keep up with. She had to remember to constantly frown and wear as many band tees and ripped jeans she could afford. The whole hot summer days and short weather was going to really take a toll on keeping her skin as pale as possible. Designating her bed she sat down and stared at her converse wondering if there was any possible way to escape this hellhole camp. Interrupting her thoughts was the door slamming hard against the wall.

Jude pulled herself from her plotting to see an overly ecstatic, but familiar face. "What're you doing here?"

"You really thought I could go a whole summer without you Jude?" The girl laughed throwing her bag on an empty cot, "I had to pull some strings with the 'rents, but Sadie got my family a discount and I got to pick where I slept."

Suddenly the summer ahead started looking up. Jude smiled wickedly as she stood up to give her a friend a hug, "Words can't describe how happy I am you are here Kat. I thought I was going to have to actually make friends."

Kat chuckled at Jude's flattery and they broke the hug, "Come on miss anti-social let's scope this place out."

Exiting the sleeper cabin Jude took in her surroundings. The sun was blazing down on the dried grass and dirt, the birds were chirping away from the many trees, and young teens were everywhere chatting. She noticed some were even in swimming suits preparing to dive into the lake. Kat yanked Jude's hand to a giant auditorium building where the doors were wide open. She spotted her sister standing next to a very handsome man behind a booth in the corner. Curious as to what her sister was doing Jude made her way to the table. As soon as she read the sign above her sister's head endless laughter ensued.

Sadie gave her sister an annoyed look, "What's so funny Jude?"

Trying to catch her breath Jude held her stomach; "You're a camp leader for the music club?"

Sadie crossed her arms, "What's so funny about that?"

"Sadie you don't have a musical bone in your body!" Sadie's faced flushed as the boy next to her began chuckling and staring between her and Jude. "You are tone deaf, you never even picked up an instrument, except for when you broke my last guitar because you were mad at me!"

Sadie huffed with her jaw dropped, "Jude shut up!"

The blue-eyed brown haired beauty of man finally interjected himself into the conversation, "You must be Sadie's sister Jude." He offered a hand to shake and she gladly accepted, "Sadie told me she was interested in running this portion with me because she knew you'd be signing up."

Immediately Jude felt like a jack ass, "Jeeze, Sades, sorry for verbal slaughter."

Sadie shrugged it off, "It's whatever. I actually am a nice sister you know."

"Anyway I didn't catch your name," Jude grinned turning back to the man.

"Tom Quincy." He stated with a small smile, "But you can call me Tommy."

Jude's face turned red and Sadie rolled her eyes, "Jude are you signing up or not?"

"I uh, yeah." She stuttered unable to take her eyes off Tom as he watched her fumble for words. He had to admit to himself her flustered state was quite a site and she wasn't half bad looking. The wavy blonde hair accompanied with a Ramones tee was actually flattering on her, he noted.

He watched as she scribbled her name, "So you play guitar?" Tom asked thinking back to the previous story about Sadie.

Jude nodded her head trying to actually form a sentence in her mind, "Yeah. I sing and write a little too. Music is basically my whole life."

His lips curving upward caused another red reaction to cover her face, "Very cool. We should play together sometime, write a little."

"I'd like that." Jude responded, but she was abruptly yanked from her high-school crush mind set by Kat pulling her arm. "Come on Jude, let's go outside!"

Jude left the music booth with a wave and Tom turned to Sadie, "You're sister seems really-"

"Fifteen." Sadie stated with a clearly agitated tone.

"I was gonna say cool, but sure." Tom stared at the back of Jude's retreating figure and could not help but smirk when she turned her head back to see if he was staring at her. She waved innocently when their eyes met before disappearing into the sunny outdoors.

Jude and Kat sat at the dock, watching people swim and socialize around them. "Who was the cutie with your sister?"

Jude turned to look at Kat, "His name is Tommy." Just the mere mention of him had Jude's face lit up.

Kat being clued into Jude's thoughts beamed, "Someone has a crush."

Jude shrugged her shoulders, "He's a camp counselor so he's gotta be like 18. I doubt he'd ever be into me."

"Don't sell yourself short." Kat playfully pushed Jude's arm, "Just be cool."

Just then a kickball hit the back of Jude's head she turned around to see three boys laughing and covering their mouths. Angrily Jude stood up to walk towards the group holding the ball in her hands. Kat anxiously followed Jude to see what was about to happen.

Throwing the ball as hard as she could a dirty blonde boy caught it, "Next time pay attention."

"Chill dude it was an accident." The boy retorted walking closer to Jude, "I'm Spiederman by the way."

Jude took in his surfer like qualities and lightened up, "Nice to meet you Spiederman, I'm Jude." She heard Kat clear her throat from behind her, "And this is my friend Kat."

"Ladies!" A curly brown hair boy spoke from behind Spiederman, "I'm Kyle and the blonde ugly one next to me is Wally."

Jude and Kat began to laugh when Wally called out, "Hey I heard that!"

Spiederman rolled his eyes chuckling, "yeah dude I think that was the point." Wally looked at everybody confused and shook his head only causing more laughter to arise from his lack of intelligence. "Anyway, do you guys wanna like swim or something?"

"Of course!" Kat squealed answering for the both of them.

Jude exited her cabin this time with an overly large tee shirt covering her body and her hands hugging her stomach with a towel. Kat shook her head chuckling as she walked beside her very confidently in a pink bikini, "Jude don't be a prude, you have a killer body."

"I'm just not that kind of girl Kat." Jude hushed as they walked towards the lake, "I don't have sex appeal."

Kat took a look at who was standing by the dock and smirked, "Well you better find some. Babe alert."

Jude followed Kat's stare and noticed Tom with his hands in his pocket staring out on to the lake. He was surrounded by a few of the older camp consolers. Of course Jude thought, girls flock to him. She went to head back to the cabins to avoid embarrassment but found herself turning around when she heard, "You going swimming Jude?"

A new shade of red unleashed on her face as she realized Tom had come over to talk to her. Kat recognized Jude wasn't about to speak anytime soon and threw herself into the conversation, "Yeah actually we were just about to go in the lake."

Jude nodded her head at Kat's comment and Tom began to smile, "Have fun."

Jude didn't speak as she strolled passed him with her head down. Kat giggled uncontrollably as they approached the dock, "Way to play it cool."

Jude sighed, "I'm such a dork."

Before she could even drop her towel a force hurled her and Kat into the lake. Both girls were screaming when they turned to see the three trouble making boys laughing obnoxiously. Jude spotted Tom chuckling from the corner of her eye and felt overly embarrassed. She swam her way over to get out of the lake. Her white tee shirt was soaked and clinging to her body revealing she was wearing a black two-piece under it. Jude unwillingly tore off the clingy material to ring it out, "What was that for?"

"Had to get you wet somehow." Spiederman winked as he patted her back before jumping in to join Kat.

Jude watched as Wally and Kyle also emerged into the lake and the group began to harass Kat with splashing and games. She sighed not wanting to return in, she was actually irritated. Realizing no one would notice, Jude slipped away from the scene and started heading towards her cabin.

Tom was standing next to his best friend staring at the blonde in her bikini sulking back to her room, "What do you think about her?" He asked nudging his friend and nodding his head at Jude.

"Solid 7." The man said blatantly.

"Come on Kwest, she's hot." Tom thought she was beyond even a ten; there was something alluring about her. He just wasn't sure what it was yet.

Kwest laughed and patted Tom on the back, "If you're into the emo rock chicks, then yes totally hot."

"Hey you don't even know her." Tom snapped at his friend.

"I saw her walk in with the band tee and smug face. She reeks of bad attitude especially when I saw the guitar case she lugged here. Actually, sounds totally like your type, go for it." Kwest chuckled.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You love the vulnerable young ones." Kwest joked and Tom just groaned in frustration.

Later that night a group of kids and a few consolers managed to start a bonfire. Jude, being forced by Kat, headed for it with their new group of friends consisting of the three boys from earlier and two other girls they roomed with. The one girl was a gorgeous Asian that Jude could not believe was only sixteen her name was Karma. The other girl was just as edgy as Jude, if not more. She wore her black hair in braids and even darker clothing with heavy black liner that was Patsy. They huddled around the fire and Jude's eyes locked with Tom's from across the way. He had a guitar in his hands and he was perched on a sawed off log. Their eyes remained on each other as Tom began to play guitar. Jude's face flushed as she picked up on the melody.

"Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart then you can start to make it better."

The song continued and Jude felt even more flustered as his eyes never left hers. By the chorus most of everybody chimed in on the singing that is except Jude. She couldn't take it any longer by the second verse she was convinced he only did it as a joke and she deicided to walk away. As much as she loved the Beatles, she hated that her name would forever be associated with that song. She found herself sitting under a large oak tree just staring at the stars. A few minutes passed before a figure appeared beside her, bending down to take a seat.

"I didn't mean to make you run away."

Jude's eyes darted to the voice and she sighed in content, "Oh Tommy you scared me." He let out a half chuckle, "And sorry for running, I just got my fill of that song a long time ago."

"Duly noted." He smirked as his arms rested against Jude's. "So how's your first day going?"

"Not too bad. I thought this place would be hell but," her eyes met with Tom's through the dark, "it's actually decent here." Tom tilted his head with a smile as Jude bit her lip, "I thought this place would be filled with annoying kids and corny overly excited camp consolers."

"Am I not a corny or excited?" Tom joked. "You know that's only in movies."

Jude laughed, "Yeah I guess Fat Camp set my expectations extremely low for the kind of people I might meet here."

"Would you prefer me fat in an outfit similar to a boy scout uniform?" Tom asked referring to a counselor from the movie fat camp.

Jude just giggled nervously as the space between them became lacking, "No I like you the way you are. Normal clothes slim waist and all."

Tom smiled sending his breath to graze her lips. Their faces were extremely close, "I like you too."

Jude closed her eyes anticipating a movie like kiss to play out, but instead all there was, was a clearing of a girl's throat, "Am I interrupting?"

Her eyes flew open and stared at the blonde standing before them, "Oh hey Sadie, no we were just talking."

Right," Sadie said crossing her arms and turning towards Tommy, "It's curfew. We gotta get everybody back to the bunks."

"Sure thing." Tom responded beginning to stand up. Sadie turned away to head towards the fire. Once her figure wasn't as visible he turned to lend his hand to Jude. She took it as he helped her up. Tom smiled as he watched her brush her butt off, "So I'll see you tomorrow at the music club?"

Jude smiled shyly while shaking her head, "Yeah, what time?"

"10am." Tom replied with a smile. His hand carefully tucked a piece of Jude's hair behind her ear, "Goodnight Jude."

She shivered under his touch, "Night Tommy."

It was going to be an interesting summer.
