The Cropsy Maniac

Chapter 2: A Story

Jax's POV

Emma's head was on my shoulder as she was sleeping. It had been about 3 hours since the buses left and everyone on the bus was either on their phones, staring out the window, talking to their friends, listening to music, or were sleeping. I smiled at Emma's sleeping face and I gently kissed her head. She shuffled and she was snuggling into my arm. I look over to my left to see Daniel glaring at me.

"You know, glaring at me won't do any good." I smirk. Daniel rolled his eyes at me.

"Jax, why did you have to come here? My relationship with Emma was fine until you came over." Daniel said to me. I could hear the tone of annoyance in his voice.

"Well, if I didn't come here then, I wouldn't have met her and I wouldn't have changed into another person." I spoke while looking at Emma. She had a small smile on her face. I felt a smile on my face as well.

"Ugh, you'll be laughing once Emma and I get back together." Daniel bragged. My mouth formed a thin line.

"Everyone know that me and Emma will end up together. You will just have to find someone else." I smirk at him. Daniel rolls his eyes before looking towards his window. I looked down at Emma once again. Now, I found myself just staring at her. She stirred a bit before opening her eyes. She groaned a bit before our eyes made contact.

"Jax? How long have I been sleeping?" She asked me. I could hear the tiredness from her. I smirked once again.

"Just for a couple of hours." I said. She rubs her eyes softly and then a smile was on her face.

"Are we at the camp yet?"

"Nope, we have to wait at least one more hour." I say. Emma frowns a bit. "What's wrong?"

"Well, I guess I woke up at the wrong time and now I can't go back to sleep." She said while pouting a bit. I couldn't help but chuckle at her cuteness.

"Em, it's okay. Besides you have company." I spoke while pointing to myself. She giggles a bit.

"Well, it seems nice to have someone to talk to. I feel bad Andi can't come with us." She said. Andi could come because she had to travel to Georgia for the summer. I patted Emma's head.

"It's okay. I know how much Andi wanted to go camping. But, it's only for one more month and you guys will meet up and you can tell her all about your experience." I spoke.

"Well, it will probably make Andi really happy considering this is my first time going to a camp." I froze in shock.

"Hold up. Emma, you never been to a camp before?" I asked her. She nodded and I felt a smirk grow out on my face. "Well, Miss Alonso, you are in for something that is very dirty, fun, and memorable this August." I say to her.

What seemed like hours, the bus stopped and we arrived at the camp. I saw Emma's face light up in excitement and we all had gotten off the buses and were in the central area. Just then, a girl with light caramel hair appeared and stood on the logs. She had the camp's official T-shirt on with blue shorts and brown hiking boots. She held a megaphone to her mouth.

"Hello, Iridium High students. My name is Isabelle and I am one of the head counselors here. Later on, we will tell you all about our camp and it's history. And finally our camp legend here, The Cropsy Maniac." She spoke before jumping off the logs and walking to the main building. Mr. Alonso gave all of us our cabins and me and Emma were in the same cabin with 2 other people. Emma and I smiled at each other.

Well, this is going to get interesting…

Emma's POV

Jax and I arrived in our cabin only to see 2 guys already there. One of them had blonde hair and bright green eyes. He looked a bit older than us. He was wearing a light blue T-shirt with brown basketball shorts and red Nike's. The other boy had brown curly hair and wore glasses. He was dressed in a tropical shirt and blue jeans with black Nike's.

"Hi there!" I spoke. The two of them turned around and smiled. Well, the blonde did but the boy with glasses had blush on his face.

"Hello, I'm Kevin Lawrence and this is my younger brother Connor Lawrence." Kevin spoke. I looked at the corner of my eye and saw Jax with an unreadable expression. Could he be jealous?

"Well, I'm Emma and this is my friend, Jax." I spoke. Kevin shook my hand. "How old are you guys?"

"Well, I'm 17 and Connor is 15." Kevin spoke. I nodded my head and put my bag on the top bunk. "Are you guys the Iridium High students?" He asked me. I nodded my head again before walking to a bunk bed.

"Well, I guess I'm the only girl here but I'll get used to it." I say while climbing on the top bunk. Jax puts his stuff under my bunk and then the intercom went off.

"Attention, all campers, please go to the bonfire area. I repeat, all campers go to the bonfire area." One of the counselors said. The 4 of us walked over to the bonfire. I was going to say something to Jax but then I saw Gigi and Sophie around him and holding his arms. I smirked a bit. I noticed Connor sitting by himself so I walked over to him.

"Is this seat open?" I asked him. He turned towards me and blush arrived on his face once again. I smiled at his shyness.

"Um, sure." He mumbled. I sat down next to him and just then, a man in a wheelchair rolled in and Isabelle was pushing him towards the center.

"Welcome, campers. I am the founder of Camp Lacoda. My name is Chief Sawyer and I am grateful that we have another new year here. Now, our famous campfire story to start off these 4 weeks of fun. Isabelle, would you do the honor?" Chief Sawyer spoke. Isabelle nodded and sat down on the grass.

"Well, it all happened 20 years ago. There was a kid. His name was Jeffrey Cropsy. He was the most hated kid at this camp. He was bullied, chosen last for every activity, and nobody even showed remorse for him at all," She spoke. I felt a little sad hearing that. I felt 2 arms wrap around my arm. I looked down and it was Connor. I felt him shiver a bit, but I didn't move my arm.

"One fateful day, Jeffrey was sent into the abandoned part of the camp and to top it all off it was a very rainy day. And the abandoned part had a lot of dirt there. Jeffrey went into the area and what was heard there was a loud, painful scream that was mixed into the sound of the lightning and thunder clashing. Ever since that day, Jeffrey was never heard from again. Most people assumed that he died there. Others say that the mud that the rain created, buried him under. We don't know what happened there but it still remains a mystery." Isabelle finished. Connor had a terrified expression on his face.

"Connor, are you okay?" I asked him. He noticed his arms were wrapped around my arm and quickly pulled them away.

"Oh! I am so sorry! I didn't realize what I was doing. I was just really scared if what was going to happen." He spoke. I smiled at him.

"I didn't mind it and I could tell that you were scared." I said. He was blushing again. "Why do you always blush around me?"

"I am not that good at girls. I only liked one girl before and I was picked on from that. They said that I was worthless." Connor frowned.

"Well, I have only known you for a short time but I know that there is so much more to you than that. Just think of me as your older sister and fairy godmother who will guide you through this." I smiled at him. His face lit up at me.

"You would seriously do that for me, Emma?" He asked me. I nodded and he hugged me and I hugged him back. I could hear him whispering the words 'thank you' over and over again.

"I promise I will help you." I say. Just then, everyone left the bonfire and we walked over to our cabin. Jax and Kevin were already asleep. Me and Connor got into our bunks and we both fell asleep.

'All the hurtful things they said to me just felt like a stab in the stomach.'

'Wow, I never knew people could be so mean to you.'

'Yeah, and the worst thing was that I was a really nice and fun person but people judged me anyway.'

'Why did they do that?"

'Because, they told me I was different…'

*That is the end of the chapter you guys. So far in the story, Jax and Daniel are still arguing about who will end up with Emma. Emma decided she would be a guide to Connor so people can see the real him and there has been a slight vision in Emma's head that appeared. Maybe you can guess who she was talking to and she would be talking to the person in the near future. Now, here is the second and final sneak peek for Revenge Of Andi Cruz.*

Sneak Peek #2:

"Bird." She said softly. As on cue, Jax flinched.

"What?"

"I'm turning into a bird. It makes sense. This is a bird feather." Emma said. Jax felt extremely uncomfortable considering his phobia of birds. But, most importantly, he was just uncomfortable with the fact that his girlfriend was turning into his phobia. Emma noticed Jax shuddered in fear. "Jax, I know this must be hard for you." Emma rubbed small circles in Jax's back.

"I know that, but I just want us to be able to use as much time as we can." Jax smiled. Just then, Emma's arm had multiple feather on her arm.

"It's getting worse." She shrieked. Jax took all of his will to not faint next to Emma.

"It's okay." Jax gulped a bit. "It's only just an arm of feathers." He said slowly. She smiled at bit. Jax took deep breaths in and out. If only she knew what he was thinking.

'Oh no!' Jax's inner voice flared up.

'Jesus Christ Jax! Just stay calm and don't faint.'

'Well, do you think I'm trying?'

'You don't have to be so mean about it.' Jax rolled his eyes. He looked to his left and noticed that Emma was gone. He looked around in panic.

'Shit.'

End of Sneak Peek #2

*Well, now you know what Emma is turning into. And yes, I bolded all the Emma's. Once again, this won't happen in the actual One-Shot. And you will get the whole thing when it comes out tomorrow. Also, the main reason this chapter came out so late was because, I had a gigantic feat with my family and my cousins. It was really good and it had the turkey (of course), macaroni, mashed potatoes, pies, and much more. It was so good and I was literally like waddling in the house for like an hour though. I was just so happy that we finished everything. Like, me and my mom we spent like 5 hours in the kitchen making everything for today and it took all my willpower to not eat anything in the kitchen. It was too hard for me guys! Either way, I hope all of you guys had enjoyed your Thanksgiving as well. See ya! Until next Sunday! Also, in the next chapter we will see more of Emma and Connor's new friendship. Bye!*
