First day of camp
America's Pov
"America. America," someone says
"America, its time to get up," the same voice says
"What?" I say and open my eyes
I see Mary in front of me pulling off the covers. I see light coming into my room and look over to find Ann pulling back the curtains.
"Where's Lucy," I say
"In the bathroom, getting your bath ready," Ann says
"Do I have to get up," I say feeling the affects of not falling asleep until late last night.
"Yes," Ann says
"Aren't you excited that it is your first day of camp?" Mary asked
"What," I say confused, "Oh yay, this is my first day."
I get out off bed hoping that this will be a great day. Hoping that I will meet new friends, see my friends, and talk to Maxon some more⦠Wait. I think as last night comes flooding back to me, "I don't think I will ever talk to Maxon again."
I must of said this out loud because Mary who was picking out my dress said, "What was that."
"Nothing," I answered
After I took a bath my maids did my hair and make up. Then I was put in an amazing day dress.
Before I left my room I went over to my jewelry box and took out a songbird necklace. My dad had given it to me and it reminded me of home. I needed as much of home as I could get today and this was the best thing I had.
"I hope you have a great day miss," Lucy says before I am out the door.
"You too," I answer. Then add, "Its not miss, its America."
All my maids just laughed as I leave my room.
I'm standing outside the entrance to the dining room dreading to go in there. When I enter I bet all of my friends will laugh at me and turn away never to talk to me again.
Well lets get it over with, is the last thing I thought before entering the dining room.
As I entered no one was looking at me weird. I got my food and headed to the back of the room to wear the pack sits.
As I grow closer to them nothing seemed off. When they say me they didn't turn away. Marlee smiled.
I sat down thinking it was too good to be true. No one objected to me sitting down.
I noticed that Maxon wasn't present and asked, " Where is Maxon."
"He told me he had something to do before classes start and that he ate earlier," Carter explained nicely
So the pack didn't hate me and they didn't know what happened between me and Maxon. At least not yet. I am so relieved.
I ate my breakfast with the rest of the pack talking and laughing but it was over all too soon when Marlee and Kriss got up and said that they were going to take me to my first class.
I was sort of relieved because I still didn't know the class room area very well. It was past the gardens. A five minute walk from the dining room.
Kriss and Marlee talked while I pretended to listen and shook my head. What I was really doing was worrying about my classes.
When we got to my first class, Singing, Marlee told me that she would see me in the next class and that the rest of the pack would be at lunch.
"Thank you," I said as Kriss and Marlee walked away.
I stalled at the door not wanting to open it. I was afraid. No, I was tarafied. This would have been a lot better if I had one friend to walk into class with but I had no one. I was alone.
I took a deep breath and walked in. I looked around and saw desks in rows how they would be in a school. I saw faces that I have seen in the dining room but no one I knew. At least there was no Celeste. Some campers were older then me and some were younger.
I started to walk to the back of the class and as I did I saw girls sitting on desks playing with there hair and boys throwing footballs around the room. I did not belong here.
I took a set in the back of the class and sat there for about two minutes until a girl took the set next to me.
"Hi," she said
I looked up at the girl to find hazel eyes and long brown hair. The girl was pretty.
"Hi," I said back
"I'm Aria," she says
"America," I say back extending my hand for her to shake.
She shakes my hand and says, "So you're the new girl. I was wondering when I would meet her."
Does everyone at this school know me as the new girl? I guess so because that is who I am here.
"Yep, I'm the new girl," I tell her
"So none of your friends are in this class," she asks
"Yep, You," I say
"Same. I mean I know all of these people but I wouldn't call them friends," she says
"How about us being friends," she asks
"I would love that," I say as the teacher comes through the door.
Already I'm off to a good start with Aria.
As the teacher walks in all the kids in the class take their seats giving their full attention to the teacher.
He walks up to the front of the room and says, "For the one student in here that I have not properly introduced myself too, I am Gavril Fadaye. You can call me Gavril not Mr. Fadaye please. I am the singing and classical music teacher."
Everyone in the room turns around and stares at me. My cheeks light up. I knew Gavril's words were directed at me.
I had heard of him before he was really famous for his classical music skills.
Aria leans over and whispers," He is a really good teacher."
I hope so I have two of his classes, I think.
"Ok lets start this summer off right," Gavril says, "We will be having a little singing competition Friday within are class."
"Whats in it for us," a guy asks
"Thats an excellent question," Gavril says, " Everyone will pick a partner and will perform a song in class on Friday. I will pick the winners and the winners will not have to come to singing class Monday."
When he says this the class erupts in cheers.
"Ok then," Gavril says, "pick your partners."
Aria turns to me and says, "do you want to be partners."
"I would love that," I answer
Me and Aria agree to sing, I knew you were trouble by Taylor Swift an old singer.
We had been practicing the song and class was almost over when a guy walks over to where me and Aria were seated.
This guy had blue eyes and dark blond hair. He looked like a jock that you would see in the movies. Not the mean jock but the really nice and popular one. He was hot. Not as hot as Maxon but still he was hot.
He leaned over the desk that separated us and said, "So you're the new girl. You have lived up to your expectations."
"What's that supposed to mean," I ask
"Its a good thing don't worry," he says giving me a smile
"I'm Mickael," he adds
I just stand there not knowing what to do.
"So is there a name to that pretty face of yours," he asked
I look at him strangle then give a little laugh, "America," I say
"So I amuse you then, America," he asked
"America, I like that. A pretty name for a pretty girl," he says it as if it was an after thought.
"Mickael, get over here," another boy, that I'm guessing is his friend, says
"Well America I hope you enjoy your first day of camp. If you need anyone to show you around I will always be here," he says
"I think I will be fine," I say
"AHH, I see how it is. Well then maybe I wont show you around, maybe we can hang out some time," Mickael asks
"I'd love that," I say being friendly
"I will hold you to it then," he says before walking away
Once he was gone I turned to Aria who has a dreamy experience on her face.
"Well he was friendly," I say
"America I think he was trying to be more then friendly," she says with a jealous look on her face.
"Who is he," I ask
"That was Mickael Newsome," Aria says
"You mean he is related to Celeste," I say. If I had water in my mouth I would have spit it out.
"Yes, they are twins and where some people think Celeste is a total bitch, Mickael is an angel. He is so nice," she says
"Hmm," I think as Gavril tells the class that it is time to leave.
Me and Aria decide to practice in my room starting tomorrow after classes end. Then I say goodbye and leave for my next class. Already my day is off to an interesting start. A good interesting start.
