Chapter Four
The first week of camp passed, and before I knew it, it was time for Campfire Jam. Caitlyn wanted me to sing, but I was really nervous and said that I would sing at the Beach Jam, although we did have to hear Tess singing about how she was too cool for us, god can that girl get anymore up herself. She agreed, and then we heard people talking about something Shane had said. Apparently he had heard someone singing and wanted to find out who it was. I was curious could it be me? But I put it to the back of my mind, that was just a fantasy.
I was walking out of the kitchen when I walked into him, "Are you hungry," he said looking at the box I had with tacos and nachos in it.
"Maybe," I said.
"I wanted to run something by you are you busy," he said.
"Why me," I said as he led me to a secluded spot near the lake.
"Because you just seem different to everyone here," he said. "I know we only said like a few words but you seem like the kind of person I can trust,"
"Well what did you want to show me," I said, I actually couldn't believe that Shan Gray was talking to me. His jerky attitude seemed to have disappeared. If he was like this all the time then he would not have so many people say bad things about him. "I heard this girl singing and her voice, reminded me of what music is all about, and I just wrote this,"
Every time I think I'm closer to the heart
Of what it means to know just who I am
I think I've finally found a better place to start
But no one ever seems to understand
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be you're not that far
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
You're the remedy I'm searching hard to find
To fix the puzzle that I see inside
Panting all my dreams the color of your smile
When I find you it will be alright
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be you're not that far
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Been feeling lost, can't find the words to say
Spending all my time, stuck in yesterday
Where you are is where I wanna be
Oh next to you
And you next to me
Oh, I need to find you
Yeah
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Yeah, yeah,
I gotta find you
"Wow," I said. "That was really good,"
"You think so," he said.
"Of course," I said. "I hope you find this girl, she sounds amazing,"
"I do too," he said. "So what do you have next,"
"Hip hop with a certain teacher, but I'm not sure he'll turn up," I said smirking.
"I didn't mean to skip last week," he said. "I was just stressed out and didn't want to have to teach too, I needed to clear my head,"
"I understand," I said. "But you know if you were like this all the time, people would warm up to you more,"
"Like they don't already," he said.
"Jerk," I said, laughing,
"I'm kidding," he said.
"I know that's why I laughed," I said. "Well I best go, who knows what they'll say if we arrive together,"
"Yeah that would be even bigger gossip than your mom being a chef in China," he said.
"You heard about that," I said nervously.
"Yeah," he said.
"Oh, I didn't think it would be that much of a deal," I said. "I'll see you in a bit okay,"
"You will, I am going to turn up this time," he said.
I walked to the classroom, with a big smile on my face, does it sound really stupid to say that I have a crush?
