Chapter 1

"Man, I am so siked about this!" Spinner Mason exclaimed, bouncing up and down on his bus seat.

"Easy hun. Save some of that energy for the camp." laughed his girlfriend, Paige Michalchuk.

"I can't blame him, Paige." interrupted Marco del Rossi, "I mean, we're all going to a special camp just for music!"

"All thanks to Joey." grinned Jimmy Brooks.

"Joey said this camp should help us out with being a real band. It'll help give us stage presence and they'll tell us what to work on." Craig Manning replied.

"And it's great that you're gonna be there too, hun." Spinner told Paige, placing his arm around her.

"I know, sweetie. When I told daddy, he insisted that I go. It's just too bad that the rest of the girls couldn't go, right Craig?"

Craig sat there, looking out the window of the bus. Paige leaned over the seat and snapped her fingers in his face to get his attention. He blinked a couple of times, then turned to face the annoyed blond.

"Sorry, what?" he asked, confused.

"I said, it sucks that Ashley couldn't come." Paige laughed.

"Yeah." Craig sighed.

He turned his attention back to the window. He hadn't told anyone, but he wasn't feeling so comfortable with Ashley lately. She seemed perfect, but his eyes kept wandering to other girls. He felt the distance might save his relationship with her. Craig looked around at his friends. Paige and Spinner were too busy making out, and Marco was listening to what sounded like Celine Dion.

"Wow, look at her."whistled Jimmy, looking at the front of the bus.

Jimmy pointed to a girl that sat by herself on the bus. Craig looked over her, and caught her looking at him. She blushed and looked away.

"Go talk to her." Jimmy told him.

"What? I have a girlfriend!" Craig shot back.

"So? Doesn't mean you can't make friends with a cute girl that you can hook your friends up with." Jimmy grinned.

"I'll pass." Craig replied, turning his gaze back to the window.

"Fine, if you're not gonna talk to her, I will." Jimmy told him.

Craig turned and watched Jimmy get up and walk over to the girl. The girl looked up as he said something to her. She scooted over so that he could sit down next to her. Craig sighed and put on his headphones.


About an hour later, the bus pulled into the small camp. Everyone slowly got up and stretched. They all began to pile off the bus. As Craig stepped off the bus, he tripped, and fell to the ground. His friends laughed at him, never seeing him this distracted.

"Here, let me help you." said a pretty voice.

Craig grabbed the small hand that was held out in front of him, and was pulled to his feet.

"Are you okay?" the voice asked.

He looked at the person who had helped him. It was the girl that Jimmy had been talking to. The sun made her long blond hair gleam in gold. And she had a beautiful shade of dark blue eyes.

"Well, I better go. But you might want to let go of my hand." she laughed.

Craig blushed, realizing that he still held the girl's hand. He dropped it and she smiled. With that, she grabbed her bag and walked away.

"Dude, now that is how to make an impression!" Spinner teased, pretending to trip in front of Paige.

Paige rolled her eyes and walked away, Hazel following behind her.

"What a way to start camp."Craig muttered, picking up his guitar case.


A/N: What do you think so far? I know it's not much yet. Just something that I've been toying with for awhile. Please read and review.
