Got Me Going Crazy
Previously:
Soon enough though, everyone had left to get ready for open mic night and were soon heading towards the dining area for the open mic night dinner. Once Mitchie, Caitlyn, and Lola got to there, they were met with their other group of friends and sat together to watch the performance.
"Alright everyone, we have a newbie taking the stage tonight! She's a special guests we got for you this year!" Dee La Duke yelled enthusiastically into the microphone. "Everyone put your hands together for Riley Vargas!!"
(Shane's POV)
I froze hearing the name Riley Vargas. Of all things, I never once thought I would be hearing that name ever again. After being stuck in my own world, I only snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the upbeat music that gave off a unique vibe of alarms and sirens. This unique sound wasn't want caught my attention but the room blackening and suddenly having a spotlight on a single spot where a slim female body stood in a pink and black shirt that stopped a little under her butt and dark skinny jeans with black boots. Soon a voice could be heard to go along with the music that started playing; somewhat like a robotic voice.
Your strategies, no mystery
I know you're schemin' on me
Yeah boy, you're schemin' on me (oh-oh)
I know your plot on what I got
Your red dot is on me
You're like a swat team on me (oh-oh)
Now this mami don't come that easy
My security's tighter than Fort Knox (oh-oh)
Got plans all over like Houdini
And there's no key you've got to pick the lock (oh-oh)
The female body that was once dancing alone in the dark was suddenly dancing with various others, all faces covered by the darkness with only the bodies being clearly seen. Soon, the slender body of the singing female was standing on top of a table, moving her body to the music, mimicking the moves as the dancers as the lights slowly turned back on. There dancing and singing on the table stood the said Riley Vargas.
Come and trip my wire
Trigger all my sirens
I'm on red alert
You set it off
Come on and disarm me
Trigger my alarm is goin'
You set it off (Oh-oh)
Set it off
Beyond a doubt you staked me out
You've got the blueprints on me
You're plannin' a B 'n' E (oh-oh)
I play to win, I'm zeroed in
I got you locked in my sight
Infrared vision at night(oh-oh)
high level clearance is required
If your desire is to get with me (oh-oh)
The game is on the stakes are higher
You conspire, I'm a treasury (oh-oh)
I couldn't help but stare directly at the girl singing and dancing around on the table tops of the dining hall. She moved as fluid, as swift, and as graceful as water. As she continued to sing, memories flooded into my head as I continued to watch her. Something was different but I couldn't quite put my finger on it and as I watched her, that nagging feeling in the back of my mind just kept popping up and bothering me.
Cut into my wire
Trigger all my sirens
I'm on red alert
You set it off
Come on and disarm me
Trigger my alarm is goin'
You set it off
(oh-oh)
Set it off
oh-oh
oh-oh oh oh
oh-oh
oh-oh oh oh
oh-oh oh oh
Just like every game we play
Yeah it's all about the chase
You can always find a way
I could feel the words cutting through me. Something about this song was driving me crazy. It felt like the more she sang and danced, that nagging feeling would pop back into my head only twice as worse than before. Her words were familiar but no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't figure out why those words felt so familiar to me. In the end, I knew I needed to talk to her. I needed to know why those words felt so familiar.
Come and trip me wire
Trigger all my sirens
I'm on red alert
You set it off
Come on and disarm me
Trigger mya alarm is goin'
You set it off
oh-oh
come and trip m wire
Trigger all my sirens
I'm on red alert
You set it off
Come on and disarm me
Trigger mya alarm is goin'
You set it off
oh-oh
Set it off
Set it off oh-oh
Once the song ended, I could hear everyone cheering. She stepped down from the tables with some help from one of her male dancers. The entire time, my eyes still never strayed from her. I watched as the guy helped her down and she smiled her appreciation to him and quickly handed the microphone to Dee.
"Guys, I need to talk to her." I whispered to Nate.
I knew he and Jason would understand what I meant if I slipped away to talk to Riley. I saw Nate nod to me and then towards Jason. I knew I could count on them on making something up to tell the others. And I knew that they wouldn't say anything. This was something I knew they knew was for me to tell and even though Nate hated lying to Ella, I knew I could trust him at keeping quiet about this.
I quickly walked out of the dining hall and towards the figure heading towards the lake. I knew where she was going. As much as I didn't want to remember, I remembered that secret place near the dock hidden behind some trees. It was actually an amazing hiding spot that overlooked the lake without letting anyone see whoever was there. I took in a deep breath as I stepped through the branches and saw her sitting down on a small bench that was placed there a long time ago. I knew she heard me because she turned around, but she probably didn't expect me as I saw her expression turn from calm and relaxed to that of surprised and unsuspecting.
"Shane?" I heard her whisper as she looked at me with a questioning look on her face.
"Hey Riley." I said, stepping towards her.
I saw her take a small step back. Seeing this put a small frown on my face which I knew she saw. I took another hesitant step forward and this time she didn't step back which caused me to relax just a little bit.
"It's been awhile since I've seen you." I said to her, the small frown still on my face.
"Your uncle asked me to come." She told me. "I couldn't deny a request from him."
I understood what she meant as I continued to stare at her, the small frown still on my lips.
"It's been almost four years now. I'm surprised you still remembered this place." She said, relaxing as she sat down on the bench.
I knew what she meant. It's been four years since Connect 3 formed and got signed, and it's been four years since I've talked, let alone seen Riley. The last time she and I saw each other four years ago was right here in this very spot. The only difference between now and then was back then we were angry with each other and she was crying. Now she was calm and distant. I guess things really have changed between the two of us.
"Even if I tried to forget, I can't." I told her honestly. "So why are you back?"
I couldn't help but ask her that question that was practically eating at me. I needed to know why my uncle would ask her to come back. She was the one that stopped coming. She was the one that walked away from this place. She didn't have to come back.
"I told you. Your uncle asked me to come back." She told me, still facing the lake, not once turning to face me.
Since all I could see was the back of her head, I gave her a hard stare as I answered her. "I kind of wanted more of an answer than just that Riley."
"I have a right to be here Shane." Riley said, standing up from the bench. "Just because I stopped coming four years ago doesn't mean I don't have a right to come back. Unlike you, it was my choice to come back."
Well that stung, but I knew I deserved it, even if it did hurt. She turned to look at me and I finally looked her over since we started this conversation. She was still the same Riley Vargas that I remembered. She looked exactly how Mitchie described her. Mitchie wasn't off at all in her description and I couldn't help the tiny smile that formed on my lips. I saw her give me a weird look before sighing.
"Look Shane, this is a pretty big camp. We probably won't even see each other. And if we ever do, just ignore me." Riley told me before she walked past me.
I didn't go after her like I probably should have. No, I stood there as she walked away.
"Well this really was starting to be a great start to my summer." I thought sarcastically to myself before heading towards my cabin.
I knew the open mic night would be over by now. It was getting pretty dark and I knew even if I did make it back to the dining hall in time, I wouldn't have any time. So as I walked back to my cabin, I hoped that either Nate or Jason would have thought to bring me a bite to eat.
Wow, only chapter 2 and already there is drama and a mystery to this Riley girl and Shane. Anyone want to take a guess at what it could have been?
