Two days before camp

America's Pov

The pack and I stayed in Kriss's room until dinner. We had Kriss's maids bring us lunch so we didn't have to leave her room.

By the time it was dinner I had learned a little bit about every person and they learned stuff about me.

They told me that they all meet at a Christmas ball when they were 8 years old and they pulled a prank on all the guests and ever since they have all been best friends. When I heard this story I started thinking about Maxon and what he would look like as a little kid. God why do I keep thinking about Maxon.

Kriss's maids came up to tell us it was almost time for dinner. We all got up off of the floor in Kriss's living room and started for the dining room. When we got there and walked in there were a lot more people in there then there had been at breakfast. People started to stare at me. Then Maxon leaned in and whispered," don't worry we got your back." then walked ahead of me.

The pack did not walk towards the table in the back instead we walked to the side of the dining room. Thats when I finally saw it the kitchen area. We walked over to the counter and the rest of the pack started ordering food. There was a menu written on a chalkboard but I had never tried any of these foods before. I started to get worried. As if Maxon could sense my fear he came right up next to me and asked me what I wanted.

"Ahhh," I said not knowing what I wanted. I looked over at the chalkboard again and decided on French onion soup. It sounded good I guess.

I told Maxon, "French onion soup," and he said,"that is a good choose, their French onion soup here is amazing."

Then he got the chefs attention and ordered two French onion soups. The chef came back out with two French onion soups on trays and handed them to Maxon. Maxon took both of them and started walking to our table.

"You do know that I am capable of carrying my own food right," I said

"I know," he replied

"Then why are you carrying my tray for me," I asked

"Because I am being a gentlemen dear" he said with a smile

"Im not your dear," I reminded him

He just gave a small laugh

"Sorry America it is a habit to call people dear," he said

"Well then I will be the one to help you break that horrible habit," I said

"That is very kind of you America, to help me break my habit," he said with another laugh

"Well thats just me, always being kind and considerate," I said

"I must say America it has been lovely seeing you and talking to you again," Maxon told me

"About that Maxon, can we just forget about last night pretend like it never happened," I asked

"Why would I want to forget about such a lovely night America," Maxon asked

"Because I was being so mean and rude to you and all you were doing was helping me and being kind to me. I guess what Im trying to say is that I'm sorry," I said

"America you were just sad last night and just wanted to be left alone I get that. There is no need for an apology," Maxon said

"Well if you dont want to forget about last night at least don't talk about it in front of your friends or tell them about it," I said

"They are your friends to America," he said

"I know," I replied,"Just promise me you will not talk about it in front of them."

"As you wish, Lady America," he said as we got to our table

Maxon sat down first and then I sat down next to him at the end of the table. He put are food trays on the table and slide mine over to me.

Then Kriss asked,"What took you guys so long."

"I'm sorry Kriss, Lady America over here took forever to order and I was being a gentleman so I stayed with her." Maxon replied

Kriss gave me a suspicious look like something was going on between me and Maxon.

"Hey, I didn't take that long to order," I said in a whiny voice

"Hey Maxon are you making my girl upset. America is he making you upset. I am not afraid to punch you Maxon, actually I have been looking for an excuse to punch you," Brian said jokingly

"Yay Maxon back off," I say playing along. Then I lean across the table to where Brian is sitting and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you Brian for protecting me," I say in a vulnerable voice

Brian says,"anytime babe."

Everyone starts laughing.

After just a couple hours with the pack I feel like I have known them all my life and I am comfortable doing whatever I want around them. They have made me forget about missing my family.

I tell them,"all you guys are so great I've been having so much fun today."

"Awww," Marlee says

"Your great too America and just wait, if you having fun now just think of how much fun we will be having in a couple weeks from now," Kate says

"Hey, America I forgot to ask you, are you going to be competing in the International Music Competition," Carter asks

"Carter that is a dumb question. Of course she will be competing," Theo says

"Right?" he adds

"What is the International Music Competition," I ask

"It is this big camp competition. Throughout camp there will be competitions like the battle of the bands or the talent show but at the end of the year there is this big music competition at camp. If you win you win a boatload of cash and get to go on to finals at finals you compete with other winners from other music camps from around the world. If you win that you get a record deal and become famous." Kris explains

"Most people come to this camp just so they can enter this competition but you have to have real talent to go to finals and win." Maxon adds

"Yay most people go to this camp to enter the competition but then you got people like us who go to this camp to hang out with friends and as an added bonuses get to enter the competition." Brian says

"All of us have competed every year but we have never made it to finals. Normally it is some older kid who wins anyways," Kate says

"Can you compete in a group or pair," I ask

"Yes, but most people don't so if they win they get all the fame and glory to themselves," Marlee says

"So America, you have seriously never heard of International Music Competition," Theo asks

"Yes, I have seriously never heard of this competition," I say

"Wow. How can you even call yourself a music lover if you have never heard of the biggest music competition of the year," Carter says

"I dont know, I just can," I reply

"America I bet you are really good at your instrument," Kriss says,"wait what instrument do you even play anyways?"

"I play the piano, violine, I can play the flute but I'm not the best, french horn, chello, I have tried the guitar, and I can sing." I say

"I also can play a few more instruments here and there but those are the ones that I am more skilled at," I add

"Wow. That is a lot of instruments, most people here only play one or two instruments so they can master them," Maxon says

"Have you ever tried the drums Red," Brian asks

"Nope never tried the drums," I say

"Theo and I will have to teach you then," Brian says

I was about to ask what instruments everyone played when a voice interrupted me.

"Hello" the voice said into a microphone,"I am Silva the camps head counselor as most of you know. It is so great to see all of your faces back at camp and to see some new faces too."

I knew she was talking about me when she said that.

"I would just like to remind you that music classes start Monday and that on Friday we will be having are Welcome to camp ball. Some of the governors of this fine country as usual will be attending. I hope you all are on your best behavior for them." Silva says

"I hope you have a great time at camp and I wish you all the best in The International Music Competition this year," Silva finishes her sentence then walks off the stage so we can continue eating.

All I can think is Oh no a ball.

Sorry, I don't know anything about instruments. Please review. Thanks for reading and reviewing. Also I'm sorry I have been updating so late I have had a lot of homework but I will keep trying to update daily.
