***Laura's p.o.v***
"Hey, you want to get a room together?" Raini asks.
"Sure!" I reply, it would be nice to have a friend.
We come to a room by the beach, Raini goes to open the door, when someone reaches around and shuts it again.
"I don't think so! My mom reserved this room for me!" it's Cassidy.
"That's not fair! This is the only cabin by the beach, you can't do that!" I object.
"Come on Laura it's not worth it, I know a better cabin anyway." Raini replies, pulling me away, and giving Cassidy and snobby look.
"What could be better than a cabin on the beach?" I ask as we're walking up a hill.
Finally Raini stops in front of a cabin.
"A cabin OVERLOOKING the beach." Raini replies.
I look up, sure enough, the hill we're on is overlooking the beach, we can see EVERYTHING.
"Wow! This beautiful! How'd you know this was here?" I ask.
"I found this cabin last year, not many people bother coming up here because it's too much of a walk, but I think it's worth it." She replies.
"Uh, YEA! This is awesome!" I reply.
We walk into the cabin, the air has already been turned on by the staff, so it's nice and cool. There's a pair of bunk beds on each side of the room with the bathroom in the back of the cabin. Me and Raini each take a top bunk.
"So what's with Cassidy, I mean I know she's rich and all but…"
"She dated Ross Lynch one year, he broke up with her though because she tends to be a…well you know." Raini replies.
"Word is she knows he's going to be here this year and she's going to try to get back with him." Raini continues.
"How desperate can a person be?" I ask.
"Apparently pretty desperate, but she probably just wants to get with him because it makes her mom's business look good, they used to supply R5's band equipment." Raini replies.
"Wow, she's…"
"A wackadoodle? Yea I know." Raini finishes.
"So where's this music hall?" I ask, changing the subject.
"just go down this hill, there's a big white building with a blue roof at the base of the hill, the room is there, you can't miss it there's a big baby grand piano in the room." She replies.
"Ok, well I'm going to go down there for a while." I say as I get my book out of my bag.
"Ok, I'm gonna stay here and get set up before opening night jam starts." She replies.
"Ok, catch up with you later then." I say as I head out the door to the music building.
I find it quickly and go inside, it's empty, I put my book on the stand and open it to a page.
***Ross's p.o.v***
I'd found my VIP cabin and settled in, now I was walking along the water's edge thinking, not about anything in particular, when I saw Cassidy pushing someone around. I almost called out when I saw one of the girl's was Laura, Cassidy was taking their cabin! What a…well you know.
But if I called out I'd be surrounded by girls, suddenly she sees me.
Shoot! I think
"Rossy!" she exclaims waving at me.
She starts to head for me, I run, I was in no mood to deal with her.
I make it to the music building I run inside and hide in the boys' restroom.
She walks in and calls for me, but then leaves.
I walk out of the restroom carefully, that's when I hear it, music, and a girl singing! I listen closely.
I'm the sun in your eyes
Yet you don't see me
I wear no disguise
But you don't see me
I'm a total surprise
And you don't see me
I'm so agonized
That you don't see me
You don't see me.
And right then and there I felt myself falling in love with whoever it was who was singing that song, it was beautiful! And the lyrics were so meaningful, I had to find out who it was.
***Laura's p.o.v***
You don't see me.
I sing the last line and smile sadly I pick up my book and leave the room through one of the back exits.
***Back to Ross's p.o.v***
I walked into the room where I'd heard the girl singing, my smile faded with disappointment, the girl was gone!
"Hello?" I call.
"Hello, is there somebody in here?" I call one more time, but there's no answer.
Maybe I'll figure out who it was at the opening night jam tonight! I think to myself.
With this in mind I head back to my cabin to finish getting settled in and to get dressed, the manager of the camp was going to have me perform tonight, which meant a bunch of screaming fans, I'd have to be careful for the rest of the summer so I wasn't being completely trailed by girls all the time.
Later at opening night jam.
The manager enters the stage.
"Ok! Before we start, we have a special performance! Please put your hands together for ROSS LYNCH!"
I get up on the stage to loud screaming and clapping, I see Laura in the front row, I don't know why, but seeing her made me feel a little better, so I smile and wave.
"What's up Miami!" I say into the mic, everyone screams, everyone, but Laura, she just smiles and winks at me.
I loved this girl! She really wasn't like the others.
"I'm going to sing for you guys tonight if that's ok." I say, keeping my eyes locked with Laura.
The music starts.
What up!
Summer in the sand
He's a drummer in the band
Droppin' the beat
She's a DJ at the boardwalk
Smile and a tan
And her sandals in her hand
Rockin' the shades
You could almost see their eyes lock
I finish singing the song I knew only too well, as I performed it all the time when I was on tour. And jump off the stage joining Laura.
"Hi." I smile.
She looks at me a little bewildered. "Um, hi, nice of you to drop in." she laughs.
"That was a great performance." She finishes.
"Thanks." I say smiling at her, as the next performer takes the stage.
"Are you going to perform?" I yell over the noise.
"Uh, no not tonight I don't think." She says nervously.
"Aw come on why not?" I ask.
"I-I don't know, I still feel a little nervous." She replies.
"Ok suit yourself." I say nudging her playfully in the side as I turn my gaze to the stage, I was hoping to find the girl I'd heard singing earlier.
But my hope was soon turned to disappointment, by the end of the opening night jam I still hadn't heard the girl yet.
Where is she? I wondered as I went back to my cabin.
When I got back to my cabin, my last question gave me a new idea for a song. So I pull out a piece of paper, pick up a pen and start writing it down.
They wanna know know know
Your name name name
They want the girl girl girl
With game game game
And when they look look look
Your way way way
You're gonna make make
Make em do a double take
I WAS going to find this girl, something about her was making me remember the love for music that had made me and my siblings and Ratliff want to start performing in the first place.
