Coming Back to Camp Harmony

by: Terrell James

Chapter 1: Tastes in Different Music

It was the last day at Whoville High School and most of the students were completely stoked up about the summer coming ahead; mostly Jojo and his friends and he was walking down the hall, he saw most of the students plus his friends on the school's bullentin board and wanted to see what was up. By the time he got there, he heard Cody coming to him and walks over to where Cody is.

"Dude...you signing up for Camp Harmony this summer?" asked Cody.

Once Jojo heard the term 'Camp Harmony' pop into his head, he was definitely happy to hear this and he said, "That's what the line's for?"

"Yep." Cody answered.

Jojo wanted in as well so he joined Cody in line and saw Mike, Marcus, Zeke, Noah, Jonah, Travis, Sam, Cyrus, Hawk, Spike, Brutus and Diego joining in as well and all of them turned around to see Jojo there and Marcus said, "What's up, Jojo?"

"Pretty good, I guess." Jojo answered.

"So...what do you think this summer at Camp Harmony will be like this year?" asked Marcus.

"Hopefully, a lot better than last year. Remember last summer when we had an EDM theme? I felt like going up to the DJ's and punch them out for playing this music instead of some real music with a message and something that we can even care about. I can't stand those little EDM pop stuff that has no meaning, no substance and definitely no interest." Jonah answered.

"Are Mana and Koa going?" asked Jojo.

"They signed up yesterday. Them and Ryan, Frankie, Chad and the gang." Hawk answered.

"Well...how about that new guy at school, Kendall?" asked Spike.

Cyrus blinked his eyes a couple of times as that name popped up and he said, "He might. I don't know why, but Ryan's been around him for about a month now."

"I think someone has a guy-crush." Cody said, in a singsong voice.

"Who's got a guy crush?"

Just then, they seen Caitlyn and Misty come in as they heard the conversation and Mike said, "None of your business."

"But I heard guy crush and Ryan in one sentence." Misty answered

Mike scoffs at this and he said, "Misty, as much as you want us to tell you everything, there are some things that shouldn't be mentioned and/or discussed with."

"I don't mind a guy having a guy crush. I have a girl crush and it totally never fazes me." Caitlyn replied.

"We're cool with that. We don't judge." Brutus stated.

"So...are you guys signing up for Camp Harmony this summer?" asked Caitlyn.

"Yeah, we all are." Jojo answered.

"I hope this works out much better than last year because there's been less rock and more pop and EDM themed. I can't stand those EDM sounds. You hear it on the radio all the time, it's so annoying and when you go to another station, they play the same song on another station. Like...what's up with that?" asked Misty.

"Well, what's wrong with pop music today?" asked a random student.

"Pop music right now sounds the same. It recycles the same song that another singer had done to the point that it never gets interesting. Like boy bands, girl groups, tweenybop singers, those that talk about boys or girls, partying, hooking up and all the other same stuff. It barely plays stuff with some real meaning with a real message. I mean, some songs do that, but only 15%." Misty replied.

"Oh...and you know what I can't stand the most? Pop rap. I mean...you might as well get gagged with a tube sock on your mouth. Why make a rap song that caters to pop? It's just sickening to me." Marcus added.

One of the random students was apparently offended by that and said, "How can you say pop rap is sickening?"

"Just look up that song 'Fancy' by Diggy Who-zalia and you'll see what I mean. That or the boy band version of it on WhoTube. I'd rather dump by head full of water than withstand three minutes and 21 seconds of either song." Marcus replied.

"You obviously don't know good music." the randon student said, walking off.

Diego rolled his eyes and shouted at that random student, cussing him off in spanish which left the others completely stunned, nut not surprised. Brutus looked at Jojo and asked, "What does all of that mean?"

"I wouldn't want to repeat what he said." Jojo answered.

"Well...this is gonna be one heck of a summer, that's for sure." Travis added.

Just the beginning! Stay tuned!
