Chapter 5

Sam left the cafeteria, knowing she still had about an hour before her class. That should be plenty of time, she thought as she walked to the cabin she shared with the boys. Walking over to her part of the room, she started looking through her clothes. It took a while for her to find just the right outfit. After several minutes of trying clothes on and trying different combinations before she found the right outfit, she hurried and got dressed. Then she moved to the bathroom to do her hair and makeup. Sam went light on the makeup, only applying a little bit of shadow and mascara to accentuate her eyes and some sparkly lip gloss. Next she did her hair and kept it simple too because there wasn't a lot she could do with short hair.

After she finished, she took a step back to get a look at her appearance. She smiled at what she saw because she looked good. Her hair and makeup went well with the shirt and jeans she was wearing. She had on a long light blue shirt and black skinny jeans. The ensemble only needed a few more finishing touches. She added a white vest that matched the white ballet flats she had on. The final touch was a white belt that went around her shirt at her waist. Oh yeah, I look hot, she thought. She couldn't help that even at sixteen she was rather tall with a slim figure with curves. Glancing at her watch, Sam saw it was about fifteen minutes till the class started, so she needed to go. She grabbed her messenger bag and headed out.

Yeah Sam knew it was kind of silly to be doing all of this, but Nate really was cute. Okay, so she might not really be sixteen, but she could pretend while they were on this mission, at least for a little while. She wished she had had a chance to get this close to the groups she liked when she really was a teen, but she hadn't. She never got to see any in concert either. Besides, she really does like Connect 3. They're like a secret obsession.

When she got to the classroom, her smile got even bigger. She walked in and saw some of the other kids there, but no Nate yet. Noticing a seat in the front, she went and sat. Some habits never go away, but at least this time the view would be nice.

The view was definitely a whole lot better when a few minutes later Nate walked into the room. Sam and all the other girls just watched him. Granted, it was true that when it came to the Connect 3 members, Shane was definitely the hot one, but Nate was blue Jell-O (Stargate fans know what I'm talking about). Yeah, blue Jell-O, that is Sam's favorite kind of dessert.

"Hey everyone," Nate said with the hint of a smile. Okay, so really it was that cute little pout smile thing he does.

All the girls in the room and stared at him, while the guys rolled their eyes at the girls.

"Well, as Shane would say, awkward," Nate joked, "Well, how about we introduce ourselves to each other, and then we will get started?" Silence was all he received.

"Okay," Nate replied pointing to a guy on the other side of the room, "Let's start here."

"Yo dudes, I'm A.J. and I prefer to mix it up on the dance floor, but I hear this vocal class is off the hook. So I can't wait to see what you got for us dude," a very tanned boy, dressed in baggy pants and a large shirt said.

They worked that way around the room. The guys were straight forward with their answers. The girls on the other hand, were far from normal. They couldn't even say their name without giggling insanely and acting star struck. A few of the girls acted normal and didn't seem to care that Nate was a huge pop star. Finally after what seemed like an eternity, it was Sam's turn. She decided she was going to do her best not to seem like an over-zealous fan girl even if that's how she felt.

"Hi everybody, my name is Samantha Carter, but you can call me Sam. And I'm really excited to be here because I love to sing and can't wait to learn more," she said as she smiled.

There were a few more students that needed to introduce themselves after Sam. It only took a few minutes for them to do this, luckily three out of the last five where guys.

"Great, now that we all know each other, how about we do warm ups then we'll see where everybody stands vocally," Nate explained as he began to work the class through vocal warm ups.

After going through the warm ups, Nate decided to work through the room to gage each students' vocal ability.

"We'll start with you," he said pointing to a random student, "You can sing part of any song you'd like and for anybody who can't think of one, I'll sing part of a song for you and you can copy that. You can start when you're ready."

The guy stood up and cleared his throat before started to rap part of a song. "That's really good," Nate told him, "but I am going to need to hear you actually sing at some point, but that's really good for now. Anyone want to go next or shall I pick again?"

Several hands shot up eager to impress the young pop star. He randomly pointed to someone else and let them sing. He worked around the room randomly selecting people to sing. A few people wanted him to give them a sample song to sing. When it was Sam's turn, she stood up nervously because really she'd only ever sang in the shower at her apartment where no one could hear her.

"It's okay to be nervous," Nate told her, giving her an encouraging look, "Do you need any help picking a song to sing?"

"No, I know what I want to sing, I've just never sang in front of anyone," she explained.

"Just take your time. What are you going to sing?"

"The Climb."

"That's a good song," Nate told her, "When you're ready."

Sam took a deep breath then started to sing.

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

After she finished, she quickly sat back down glad that it was over.

"Wow," was all Nate said.

Now she could hear other kids in the back whispering about how good she was. Was she really that good? Sam wasn't sure, but apparently everyone else seemed to think she was.

"That was amazing," Nate told her.

"Really," she questioned.

"Yeah, in fact I have a thought, but I need to run it by Brown first, then I'll get back to you," Nate said not really making any sense.

"Okay," she replied.

Nate glanced at his watch, "Well it seems that this is about all the time we have for class. I want everyone to work on running through the warm ups, then next class we'll work on the scale."

Everyone grabbed up their stuff and started heading out. Sam was quietly getting her things back into her bag; still in shock that Nate thought she was amazing.

"Sam," Nate said noticing that she hadn't left the room yet.

"What," she snapped her head when she heard her name.

"Didn't mean to startle you. Just making sure you're okay."

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine just a little shocked."

"Shocked," Nate questioned.

"Yeah, shocked," she told him.

"About?"

"Well, that I am good at singing," she admitted shyly to him.

"You didn't know you could sing that well?"

"Not really, I'm not kidding when I said I've never sang in front of anyone. I just sang when I was by myself for the fun of it. Then to hear you, Nate from Connect 3 say I'm amazing is just so unreal. Do you have any idea how incredibly cool this is for me," Sam said in one breath.

"Yeah, I do. But you really are amazing. In fact I think you can get even better," he explained, "That's what I'm going to talk to Brown about. I think you would benefit from private lessons more than being in the class. So I'm gonna ask Brown if he'll let me do that. You alright with that idea?"

"Alright with it? That would be unbelievable. I'm really that good?"

"Yeah, you really are Sam," Nate told her, "Come on, you better get going. They're all kinds of things you can still do before supper. This is an awesome camp."

"Okay," she said swinging her bag onto her shoulder, heading for the door, "Let me know what Brown says."

"I will. By the way, nice outfit," Nate said with a genuine smile on his face.

Sam walked out the door with the biggest smile on her face and a blush as red as a tomato. She still couldn't believe that she was that good. Her of all people. Then to top it all off, Nate liked her outfit. She couldn't wait to tell the guys about her class. With that she headed off to find them so they could hang out before supper.
