Hola! I'm back!!!!!! I was gone for a little while, but I doubt no one noticed...I had finals- they KILLED me. But It's over now, and it's summer- and I can write ALL I want! YESSSSSSSSS! I'm tired of the fluff though...maybe I'll add in some angst...we'll see....r&r!
~*~*~*~*~*~
:::Connie's POV:::
We were beating the varsity until Cole checked Guy hard, against the fance, I guess he was still holding a grudge for that one game they played against each other. We all skated up to him, fearing the worst, but he was just dazed. After that we just walked away from the game, at Charlie's suggestion.
"Charlie, how are we supposed to get them to leave us alone if we keep backing away?" Fulton asked, he was the only one who hadn't wanted to walk away from the game.
"Were better than that." Charlie answered simply.
I rolled my eyes, personally I had wanted to kick their butts too, but it was getting to be a little to much to handle with out Luis, Portman, and the rest. Speaking of the rest, my thoughts began to drift to Julie back in Maine, I hopped that she was all right.
:::Julie's POV:::
I wasn't in a hurry to get back out of the house and see AJ again, but I knew that I would have to sooner or later, and my parents were picking up on my acting strangely, begging to call Minnesota, California, Illinois, etc.....
So I made a choice. I could either hang out with my so called `friends' or I could hang around the house and have my parents find out what had happened at the party. I decided to head down to the creek where we all used to hang out, just to have something to do. When I got there Jamie, and Mara were sitting there.
"Hey, Julie, where have you been?" Jamie asked me as I skated up.
"Around. Just, kind of, you know, taking it easy."
"Oh." She replied, obviously not satisfied with the answer.
"So, you haven't told us-" Mara started. "How many cute team-mates do you have back in Minnesota."
"Well, there was this one guy that I kind of had my eye on." I admitted.
"Really?" They asked.
"Yeah, but- I don't wanna go into all that right now." I shrugged.
"What else is new?" Jamie muttered.
I just rolled my eyes.
"What is with you Julie?" She asked.
"Nothing." I said, defensively.
"Whatever, we've got someplace to be, see you later, that is if your going to stop acting totally neurotic." Mara said as they got up to leave.
I could have told them off, but I don't know. I wasn't sure what was wrong with me. It was sort of like ever since I had gotten back to Bangor everyone expected me to be the same as when I left, and I wasn't. I had changed, and I guess that didn't sit well with everyone. But I couldn't just pretend that I was still the same person...could I?
:::Guy's view:::
I checked myself in the mirror one last time before I headed out the door to meet Connie at the park. She was making a picnic dinner and we were going to hang out that evening, just the two of us. She insisted that she didn't want to get back together, but her actions proved differently, and actions do speak louder than works, right? Connie was already there when I arrived at the park. She had a blanket set up, it was nothing special, just sandwiches, chips, and her famous brownies.
"Hey." I greeted her.
"How are you?" I asked as I took a seat.
"Great, what about you, how was your day?"
"Nothing special." I shrugged.
The night went on like that, until I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Connie, are you honestly going to go on kidding yourself like this?" I asked.
"Like what?" She asked, avoiding eye contact.
"I know how you feel about me, and I know how I feel about you. So why are we kidding ourselves?"
"Guy..." She trailed off.
"No! Come on, Connie, why live a lie?"
"It's better than being hurt!" She said, her head shooting up, and her voice suddenly sounding defensive.
"I would never hurt you." I said, almost whispering.
"You did before!" She objected.
"I didn't mean to!"
"So how can I be sure that you wouldn't do it again? Last summer was one of the worst times of my life!"
"I'm sorry."
"I know." She said regretfully. "I just....I like us better as friends."
I sighed. "I love you Connie."
"I love you too, Guy, but it would just be to hard..."
"Connie come on- who else are you going to fall in love with? We were MADE for each other!"
She shook her head, I could tell that I was really upsetting her.
"Guy, I think this night is over." She said looking at me.
"Yeah, I'm really sorry Connie, I just, I want things to be like they used to be, before everything go so messed up." I said as we both stood up.
"I'll see you later Guy." She replied. She gathered up the blanket, and left over food and started off towards home. When I got home Charlie and Fulton were sitting on my front porch waiting for me, I was guessing that my parents weren't home either.
"What's wrong?" Charlie asked me, immediately sensing that something wasn't right.
"Connie." I replied.
"What, she doesn't want to get back together?" Fulton asked.
"What else is new?" I mumbled to myself.
"But you've come so far since you broke up, I mean, last summer at this time you weren't speaking!" Charlie reasoned.
I just sighed. "I don't want to talk about it, what's going on?"
"Nothing really, that's why we decided to try to find you, we figured you might know something to do."
"Nah, there is nothing to do, it's another boring summer day."
:::Averman's view:::
I was wishing that I could say that it was `just another boring summer day'. Things around camp were hectic! But what else did you expect on the first day of camp. There were kids running around all over the place. I was sharing a cabin with a senior councilor, together we had 15 boys ages 9-11. The classes that I was supervising were: street hockey, there was one session of that a day; and creative writing, don't ask me how I got stuck with that one, but I did. It wasn't that hard, I didn't have to write anything, basically all I had to do was read from the manual. And plus, Jamie was helping me with the class, so not only was it going to be a breeze, but it was going to be a great way for us to get to know each other. I was falling for her, pathetic, I know. But how could I resist? It was summer after all...
