~Chapter Two~
Owen's POV:
As soon as we got to the camp you could feel the excitement rise. Everyone stood up when the bus finally stopped in front of the cabins we would be calling home over the next week. "Sit down, sit down, we are going to wait for Mr. Frenson's orders." One of the mothers said from the front of the bus.
I looked over at Audrey and Charlotte and I could tell the two of them were just waking up from a nap. The two of them stretched and yawned while putting away their iPods. "Have a nice nap sleeping beauty?" I jokingly said to Audrey. She laughed and playfully hit my arm and started talking to Charlotte.
"Dude," Parker tapped on my shoulder. "Check your phone, I sent you a text."
I pulled my phone out from my pocket and there it was a text from Parker. I was going to turn around and ask why he would text me when I was sitting right in front of him but it had to have been important, so I opened it.
'When are you going to admit you have feelings for Audrey? You know you like her more than a friend.'
I froze. I can't like her more than as a friend. I can't. We have been best friends forever. I don't want to jeopardize that.
"Alright students, we are going to get off the bus and unload." The mother said.
We all piled off the busses and stood around waiting to see our bags in the huge pile of bags that kept on growing. Once I found my bag I quickly tried to find Parker and when I did he was standing by Audrey and Charlotte talking to them. As I started to walk over to them I was stopped by someone grabbing my arm.
"Hey Owen," I knew exactly who it was before I even looked. Brielle Matthews, my ex-girlfriend.
I turned to face her and put my bag down. "Hi Brielle," I said and tried to smile but it probably looked awkward.
"How have you been? I haven't seen you since…" Her voice trailed off. We hadn't talked in almost a month because of the breakup. She got jealous of mine and Audrey's friendship and wanted me to stop being friends with her, so I broke up with her.
"I've been good, been busy though. You look good." Amazing actually, her skin was perfectly tanned, she dyed her hair to a beautiful auburn color, and it looked nice with her light blue eyes.
"Thanks," She smiled. "Listen, is it okay if we talk during free time?" I nodded. "Great. Alright I better get back to my friends so we can claim our beds. See you later, Owen."
"Later, Bri." I said then walked with my bag over to Parker, Charlotte and Audrey.
"There you are," Parker said. "We got to go claim our beds in our cabin!" The girls laughed and we all walked toward our cabins.
"Ours is right across from you guys," Audrey said. "We'll see you guys at lunch." She smiled and walked with Charlotte across the grass to their cabin.
We went inside our cabin and luckily there were still some beds to choose from. Once I put some of my stuff away Parker and I went outside to sit on the steps of the cabin to wait until lunch.
"So, you never answered my text dude." Parker said.
I sighed, "Brielle came over and talked to me before."
He looked up and I could tell he was shocked. "Oh, what did she say?"
"I don't know she wants to talk to me during break."
"Dude, do you think she wants to get back together?" Parker asked.
I shook my head, "No way. We broke up. I mean, she wanted me to stop being friends with Audrey. There is no way she would want to get back together, would she?"
"What would you say if she did?"
I honestly didn't know. I don't know if I could take her back. Plus, as hard as it is to admit I did like Audrey but I didn't want to jeopardize our friendship.
Once everyone was somewhat moved in we walked down the hill to the mess hall for lunch. When we walked in Parker and I sat down with Audrey and Charlotte and some other friends. As we talked, my mind kept wandering and thinking about what Brielle wanted to talk about. I pushed it out of my head as we got up to get in line to get our food.
After lunch we went back to the cabins to get ready for our first practice of the day. All I needed to do was put on some sunscreen and head out because I knew all we were doing were basics. When I walked out of the cabin I saw Audrey walking out of her cabin so I ran over to her.
"Hey Owen, ready for basics?" She asked.
"Never, it's always the most boring part of band camp." I laughed.
"Very true but it's needed I guess. Hey at least after break and dinner you get to work on music and I get to learn work hopefully." She smiled, her eyes were bright.
"Yeah, you're right Audrey. Oh great Mr. Frenson is going to be watching us during basics." I said and looked over at him sitting on the top of the hill sitting under shade watching us come in for practice.
"Is Ms. George up there too?" Audrey asked nervously.
I squinted then looked at her and nodded. "Don't worry you got a great chance at getting a solo this year. You are so amazing." I smiled at her and put my arm around her to hug her.
"Thanks Owen. I hope I get one." She said smiling up at me.
Why couldn't I tell her that I like her? She is so perfect.
