AN OK, again I have no idea. Obviously I plan to continue…I do have more plan for this story then I do for Chance but I guess we're just going to have to wait and see! I am not a movie buff. I'm a music buff. But everyone loves Jesse's POV so bare with me there! So anyway, here is Enamored!
OC Cameron POV
I stepped out of the yellow cab, pulling my hood on a little tighter, trying like always to just stay invisible but wanting to be noticed at the same time. I know it doesn't make since, but its how I feel.
One of the guys in yellow jackets moves to help grab my stuff, I let him. I already have my computer case with me, my headphones connected to my iPhone in my pocket, one ear bud in as I listen to a familiar song in my ear. A girl with platinum blonde hair comes up, acting way to peppy for the beginning of a school year to welcome me, I tell her my dorm hall and she starts with directions. I start to hear an eco to my music so I take my ear bud out, intending to inspect it but the eco wasn't coming form it, a car had pulled up playing the same song.
"Carry on my wayward son, they'll be peace when you are done, lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more, No!" I hear the double echo as a boy in the back seat of a green car sings along. I can tell he has brown hair and he's dancing and playing air guitar to the solo. He's really getting into it and it causes me to laugh. The car goes again and he jerks back. I roll my eyes, he was cute. I hope to see him again, but then again I hope I don't. Better to save myself the inevitable embarrassment.
I realize I wasn't listening to the peppy girl in front of me and I give her a small awkward smile when she hands me the rape whistle. Like a guy would want to rape me.
I remember my hall name and repeat it to the guy in the yellow jacket, we walk in silence. Once there I move my bags to the empty bed to the right quickly and he nods to me once before backing the trolley out of the room. Neither of us speaks.
I'm unpacking when a girl comes in and sits a giant suitcase on the bed. It must be my roommate, Kimmy Jin. I say hello and she just looks at me, I give an awkward smile and take a deep breath. Ok then. I go back to my unpacking.
I've finished unpacking and have set up my laptop on the small desk at the foot of my bed. I'm plugged into my headphones, reading online, so the tap on my shoulder scares the shit out of me.
"Dub V!" I hear the scream of my brother and I smile before rolling my eyes. That stupid nickname! It all started my freshman year of high school, he was a senior and he joked about my lack of school spirit. Our high school, West Valley sold these sweatshirts, soft and comfy with 'Dub V' in big letters. I didn't realize I was wearing one until he called me that at a basketball game that he forced me to go to. Sadly, it stuck.
"Hey Carter, how'd you know my room number?" I say with a laugh. I love my brother to bits, but he can get on my nerves very easily.
"Mom and dad." he says before pulling me into a tight hug. I hadn't seen him since Christmas so I hug him back. He's just like that, with the hugs and what not, laughing all the time and a completely annoying jokester.
"Oh, I'm surprised they knew…I don't remember telling them" I say, with a sigh as I go back to my laptop to put it on hibernation. He gives me a sad look.
"Hey girl, you know they love you. Life just gets busy." He says as he wraps an arm around my shoulder. I shrug, but poke him in the stomach.
"I'm going to the activities fair." Kimmy Jin randomly announces before exiting the room. Carter gives her a weird look, and then looks to me for an explanation of her oddness, I just shrug. He looks at me expectantly then; I stand not wanting to continue our previous subject and not wanting to bring him down during his senior year.
"I guess I should do the same, I hear they have a radio station? You know how much Id kill to work at one. I think I'll apply there." I say with a change of subject and he sighs before smiling at me, slightly sadly.
"Uh, yea. You know if my group took girls Id' so force them to let you in." he says and I roll my eyes, him and his singing.
"Right, don't you have to sing to do acapella?" I give him a look and his eyes go wide. He was the only one that claimed I had a good voice. He was also the only one who has heard my voice.
"Cam, you rock! I don't understand how you don't know it!" he says and I just roll my eyes. I ask him if he's going to come and he says he has to meet the Treblemakers at their house before. I just nod and hug him again before he leaves. I grab my iPhone, putting both ear buds in my ears as I replay the Kansas song I had been listening to earlier. It makes me think of the boy that was singing and I smile. I'll let that be a good memory. Not like I have a lot.
I spend a few more minutes tidying up, making sure most of my stuff isn't everywhere because I don't know Kimmy Jin, and I can't say I trust her.
I'm walking through the fair, glancing at the booths. I stop at a writing booth and pull my headphones out, swinging them around my neck as I read about the group. That's when I hear it. His voice again.
"We both are here to have the fun, so let it whip!" He sings as he stands in front of the Trebles, my brother waves dramatically before pointing to me as he dances and continues to make the guitar like noise. I wave back, but when the boy follows his pointed finger to see who he's waving at I pull my hood on tighter and scramble away. Carter will definitely question that. Shit.
"Hello, would you like to join the Bella's?" A preppy smiling red head says as she comes into my face with a flier.
"Ugh…what?" I ask before the name registers. Carter had told me over the phone about an all girl group that lost to them last year. Apparently a girl had thrown up on stage! Gross!
"We're an all girl acapella group. There are four groups on campus, us, the B Harmonics; they sing a lot of Madonna. The High notes, they aren't particularly motivated…and…" They look behind them where Carter and his group finish their song, and smile at each other "Auditions are in a month." She says shaking the flier and I smile and take it.
"Erm, I don't really sing…but thanks anyway." I say with a shy smile and turn to walk away quickly looking down. I bump into something, or someone. I look up. Shit. Him.
"Oh, Sorry" I say as I back up, and look down as I walk around him.
I think back to his face as I make it to a tree and step behind it, leaning on it. Brown eyes. Deep expressive brown eyes staring at me in concern, the cutest lips, wet from him licking them and so kissable. I let myself think about him for a minute before taking a deep breath and looking around for the booth for the radio station.
I find it and look around, not spotting him, before walking quickly but blending in with the other kids as I bolt for the booth. I get there and give the older guy a small smile before looking at the signup sheet. There's only one other name.
Jesse Swanson
It's scrawled and obviously boy's handwriting, for some reason it give me tingles. It shouldn't, but it does and I just shake my head at myself before writing down my own name. I normally write pretty messy, but I want it to be legible, so I make sure it's neat
I smile after writing down my number and taking one of the fliers. Now I could have a job at the radio station…so fucking cool. I walk around for a few more minutes, but none of the other booths really interest me, so I head back to my dorm. I don't have classes or anything until tomorrow, and I'm tired from waking up at 6am to make sure I was packed then the 3 hour taxi ride here, not to mention the 2 hours of unpacking. I decide a nap is in order.
I pick my Sleep playlist and pop one ear bud in, setting an alarm on the phone for two hours from now. His face comes to my head again and I let myself imagine. I'm out 10 minutes later.
Jesse POV
"You want to hit the activities fair?" Benji asks from 5 feet away as he pulls a string of different color fabric from his sleeve. Having Benji as a roommate was already looking to be a plus, he liked Star Wars, one of the best scored movies of all time!
"Sure" I agree and we both leave the dorm. I make him take his cape off beforehand though. I might be cool with it but I want to spare the guy college humiliation from others.
We head out to the quad, and walk around. I sign up for a job at the radio station, and Benji and I laugh as a frat team passes us with their annoying chant. Benji points out the double negative. I point out a lot of negatives.
He starts on about the only way to be cool around here. Then I see them, the schools all boys acapella group, The Treblemakers he says…the pun makes me smile.
"Organized nerd singing…this is great!" I say excitedly, and Benji asks about my voice, which I respond by singing. I know I'm not bad, 4 years of community musicals and choir proved that. I plan to audition with Benji who seems plenty excited to do so.
One of the guys singing starts waving his hands marveliciously. Don't hate, it's a great word. He points to somewhere behind me and I look that way instinctively. I catch sight of a blonde girl just barely before she's turned around and there's just the back of a grey sweatshirt with orange on it.
I put it out of my mind as we continue to listen to the acapella, there really good and once they stop, what appears to be the leader is yelling at one of the other guys, Benji says he's going to introduce himself. Great.
The guys Bumper, is a complete dick like I expected. Benji doesn't realize this as he does his magic trick, I try to lighten the mood but it doesn't work and Bumper rejects him. He asks me if he should have done something else, I suggest a message on facebook.
Benji's cool but he definitely needs some help in the socializing area. He definitely comes off as a nerd. But he's not a total nerd; don't forget the close up magic! God living with the kid was going to rock.
Were walking and then all of a sudden someone bumps into me. I look down and think I recognize the girl, with her wide hazel eyes and panic strikes face; but then she's gone, a mumbled apology left in her wake.
"Did you know her?" Benji asks and I shake my head as I stare after the grey sweatshirt with orange writing- ah! The girl that Treblemaker was waving at! She must be his girlfriend or something.
Benji and I hang out at the fair for another half-hour or so before parting ways. He wants to find his classes before we start tomorrow.
I head back to the dorm and decide on a movie. I pick Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and lounge on my bed with my lap-top.
After it's over I'm beat, I can't fall asleep during a move, that's just not acceptable. So after turning off my computer I decide a nap is in order. I've been up since 6 and it's been non-stop ever since. I set an alarm for a few hours from now and close my eyes. Strangely enough I get that girls face in my head, all simple and cute and just now realizing she wasn't wearing any make-up. Her lightly tan face was clear and beautiful…dude I don't even fucking know this girl! I try to shove her out of my head as I fall into a restless sleep.
AN Yep...like i said not a complete plan but an idea. No Beca doesnt exist in this story. Or maybe she did go to LA, whatever. I have just really wanted an OC story...and here it is! No idea about update but a least a few days, I have more of an outline basically following the story-line of the move but a lot of stuff will be different with a different character! Keep that in mind! I hope you like this! Tell me what you think! REVIEW! Please!
