2 days before camp
America POV
"Miss wake up miss" was the first then that I heard when I woke up
I opened my eyes to see Lucy standing over me shaking me awake.
"Good Morning Miss," she said cheerfully
"We are here to get you ready for the day miss," she told me
"America not miss," I corrected her
"Of course America," she answered
I looked over towards the bathroom and saw Mary and Ann in there.
"The bath is ready for you Miss… I mean America," Mary said
I got out of my bed and walked over towards the bathroom. When I looked in the mirror I say my face. It was all tear stained and red from last night. Then the memories of what happened last night came flooding back to me. Everything. How I missed my family, me fighting with the guards, my conversation with Maxon. Maxon. The boy who I will probably never talk to again. He was so nice last night to me and I was rude to him the whole time. Well it doesn't matter anyways once he finds out I am not rich he will never talk to me again.
Luckily my maids didn't say anything about my face. They just helped me get into the bath, which was weird because I am not just to people seeing me naked. In the bath I let go of all my thoughts. My thoughts of my family, of Aspen, of home, and of Maxon. God why do I keep thinking of Maxon.
After my bath I was put into a robe. Then I was seated in a chair in front of a mirror in my bathroom. My maids came into the bathroom with a huge chase. When they opened it I saw it was full of make up. O no, this couldn't be good. Then all three of my maids started arguing about how much I should have on and what shade would look good on my face. I just sat there thinking I must stop this before I look like a barbie doll.
I finally said,"if you must put makeup on me please put the bare minimal and do it in a natural shade."
To my relief they agreed not to make my face look like a dolls. Ann got out so more natural looking eye shadow and started doing my makeup while Mary and Lucy did my hair.
After they were done. Ann said,"I must say America you are not like most girls. I mean it is not a bad thing it is a good thing most girls want as much makeup as you can cake on their faces, want big fancy style hair, and want skanky clothes. You want little makeup, a simple hair style, and casual clothes."
"And even with that you look more elegant and beautiful than must girls can pull off." Mary said
I looked at myself in the mirror. I had a little makeup on, my hair was in a high ponytail, and I was wearing a new pair of jeans and a top that looked like it was designer.
"Did you guys make my clothes," I asked
"Yes," Lucy answered, "do you like outfit you're wearing today."
"Like it. I love it. It is so me casual yet fancy. Thank you." I told them
"Your welcome," Ann told me
"Another added bonus to your choose of makeup and hair is that it doesn't take that long to do. We didn't know that today but we can start walking you up later." Mary told me
"Thank the lord," I said
"You have an hour until breakfast because it didn't take as long as we thought it would to get you ready," Lucy said, "So you can watch TV or something."
"Hey do you guys know how to play cards," I asked
"Yes," Ann replied, "Why."
"I was just wondering if you guys would like to play with me, it reminds me of home," I said
"We would love to play cards with you America," Lucy answered
So that is what we did. For about an thirty minutes we played different games of cards. Lucy always won. She was the best out of all of us. We laughed and played cards until Ann told me that her, Lucy, and Mary had to go but that I would see them later. I thanked them for playing cards with me and they all said that they had a great time.
Playing cards had helped me forget of home for a little bit but know that my maids were gone I didn't know what to do. I finally decided to watch tv because I still had around 40 minutes left. After about 10 minutes of watching tv there was a knock at my door. I turned the tv off and went to go open the door. When I opened the door I say a girl around my age standing there. I didn't know what to do. Luckily she spock to me first.
"Hi," she said, "I'm Marlee, I am staying in the room next to yours."
"Hi," I said back to her,"I'm America by the way."
"Your new here right," Marlee asked then said,"since you are new I thought that you would need someone to show you around and hang out with."
"Would you like to come and walk to breakfast with me," Marlee asked
"I would love that," I said
"Ok, do you want to start walking so I can also show you where some other things are," Marlee asked
"Yes, Please," I answered
As we started to walk out of the dorm rooms Marlee started pointing out things. I wasn't really listening. I was thinking about how wonderful it was to have a friend here. If I can call Marlee my friend.
Marlee told me," the walk from our dorm rooms too the dining rooms is about ten minutes. So will will be there in 3 minutes."
"jez," I said," How big is this place."
"Really big," she said," and confusing but you will get used to it"
When we were right outside the dining room Marlee told me that she had some weird friends and she apologised for them in advance. I told her that her friends would be fine. Then I said, "Thank you so much for walking with me here. I didnt even know where the dinning room was and even if I did I wouldnt have had anyone to sit with."
She said,"No problem and if you don't know something you could ask me or any of my friends about it." Then she hugged me.
As we entered the dining room people stopped their conversations to stare at me. I felt like I was the new girl at high school. Marlee didn't seem to notice she just kept walking. As we walked further and further away from the doors we came through I noticed how big this place was and how many tables there were but still we kept walking. Then I saw him. Maxon. In the back of the room at a table with a whole bunch of people sitting with him. He saw me too and smiled.
I kept waiting for Marlee to stop walking and sit at another table but we kept moving towards the back. Towards him. I was . In my head but I kept walking. When we were a couple tables away from Maxons I was desperately hoping we would stop and sit at another table but then we were there. At Maxons table. Marlee sat down and said hey guys this is America. Pointing to me. Then Marlee said America come sit down over here.
I walked over to where Marlee was sitting and just my luck I ended up in between Marlee and Maxon. Shit. America this is Carter, Kriss, Katy, Theo, Brian, and Maxon. Pointing to each person as she called out names.
"Hey America," the girl named Kriss said
"Hi," I said back. I felt so awkward everyone kept staring at me.
Brian, the boy next to Maxon whispered something in Maxons ear then said,"so America are you going to be hanging out with are group over the summer then because I sheer hope you will. Do you have a boyfriend."
Marlee shook her head at Brian then said,"Brian you pervert."
I blushed and Brian said,"I think Miss America over here likes it look at her blushing."
Then he adds,"you know you are cute when you blush." Making me blush even harder.
I give him a stern look then say," so I'm not cute when I don't blush then."
I caught him off guard and now it was his turn to blush and just looked at me shocked for a minute while I smirked and everyone else laughed.
"I didn't say that," he answered
"O and I will be hanging out with you guys if you don't mind having me," I said
Carter and Theo the other two boys still laughing said, "America it would be a pleasure to have you hang out and make fun of Brian with us. Anyone who can make fun of Brian is allowed in the pack.
"Thank you," I told them
"Wow, America. You know how to make good first impressions and dell with awkward sitions, you can so hang out with us," Katy said,"We were sort of getting out numbered by the boys anyways so its always good to have another girl join the pack.
So I was in yes I thought. Then Maxon lend over and whispered in my ear,"you know you are very good at making great first impressions."
That made me blush again. I had to get my mind off of him so I asked," is this where you guys always sit, it seems a bit secluded."
"That's the point know one can hear us back here," Kriss said
"And it is a good thing too, we don't want people hearing us plan are epic pranks," Carter added
"Carter you're not supposed to tell her that," Brian said
"She is in the pack, she would find out eventually," Carter told him
"She could be a spy and now we could be turned in" Brian said
"She's not a spy," Maxon said
"The hot ones are always the most dangerous," Brian said
"A guys, I'm right here and I'm not a spy," I said
"told yay," Maxon said
"That's what they all say," Brian said
"I'm not a spy! And what is the pack," I asked
"The pack is what we call our group of friends. We are like a pack of wolves. We never keep secrets or snitch on each other. Basically we pretake and look out for each other," Marlee said
"So if you want to be in the pack, you have to be loyal to this group of friends," Kriss adds
"So can you do that Red," Brian asks
"Red," I ask
"You have red hair so I can call you red. Now answer the question," Brian told me
"Yes I can do that," I said
"Now you are officially in the pack," Kate says
"We all have your back now America," Theo says
"So now that she is in the pack can we start talking about prank ideas," Carter asks
"Yes," Brian says
We were talking about prank ideas for awhile when Maxon whispers in my ear,"are you hungry, you never got food."
Then I notice he was right everyone had food but me, even Marlee. I wanted to tell him that I wasn't hungry but that was a lie I haven't eaten since lunch in the car yesterday. He read my silence as a yes and paced his plate over to me.
He had two pastries left on his plate. I had never seen either of them before but I took a bite of them anyways. "MMM" I said and he whispered in my ear," you like strawberry tarts then."
For about 15 minutes I sat there eating my pastry and everyone was talking about back to camp pranks until the same girl I saw at the unloading dock yesterday started walking to our table.
I whispered in Marlees ear,"Who is that."
She said,"that is Celeste Newsome."
"The biggest Bitch around," Brian added
"She is obsessed with Maxon," Katy told me
When Celeste was right next to our table everyone stopped talking and stared at her. Then she said,"OMG Maxon. I haven't seen you in forever. Do you want to hang out and catch up with me after breakfast.
"Forever has been to soon," Maxon whispered then said, "Sorry Celeste not today, today I have already offered to take Lady America here on a tour of are fine camp.
Wait what I thought. He is.
Celeste gives me once over then a sour look.
"O Ok," Celeste said with a false smile, "maybe tomorrow then, then she walked away
"That was close," Maxon said
"Thanks Maxon for getting me involved know she will probably try to hunt me down and kill me so I will not get in the way of her plans," I say jokingly and everyone laughs
"Don't worry Red, Remember the packs got your back." Theo said
After breakfast the pack takes me on a tour of their favorite places. Then we go to Krisses room to hang out until lunch.
Like I said up above please review this chapter. I really don't want to do this chapter in Maxons point of view but if you guys review and tell me that you want to see this chapter in Maxons POV I will do it. I'm sorry if I didn't use your characters in this chapter but they will be used eventually.
