Niki and Aaliyah both clapped for the French girl's singing. "Huh"? Scamp asked. "That was great you're really talented". Niki smiled. "Thanks". Scamp said. "Hey all of us after work are gonna go down to the beach would you guys wanna come"? Niki asked. "Sure". Aaliyah and Scamp said. "Great". Niki smiled. Later work was finally done no one got any strikes, everyone's going down to the beach. Scamp was in her bathing suit sitting on the steps of the staff house reading Mockingjay. She wore a pastel bikini, with grey sweat pants, a black hoodie with a pink skeleton ribcage, and flip flops.
Scamp was a big Hunger Games fan like Caleb was. Right now she's crying because she's reading a sad part in Mockingjay.
(Warning: If you haven't read this part in Mockingjay or if you're not reading Mockingjay skip this part)
"Katniss"! Prim screamed. "Prim let go"! I screamed. "Let me go let me be with the others"! Prim said.
Scamp had black tears run down her face, why did Prim have to die? 'Why'? Scamp thought sadly. "Poor Primrose". Scamp cried. "Hey girl"! Aaliyah said. "What's wrong"? Aaliyah asked. "I just read a character's death in Mockingjay". Scamp cried. "It's okay". Aaliyah smiled. "Come down to the beach with me that'll make you feel better". Aaliyah said. "Okay". Scamp said.
"Is this it"? Scamp asked. "Looks like it". Aaliyah said. "Scamp"? Aaliyah asked. "Hm"? Scamp asked. "How long have you been singing"? Aaliyah asked. "Since I was little". Scamp said. "Can you sing for me"? Aaliyah smiled. "Uh…I don't know". Scamp said embarrassed. "Don't worry I don't bite". Aaliyah smiled. "Well….okay". Scamp said. She took a deep breath and began to sing.
"Are you, are you coming to the tree? Where they stung up a man they say murdered 3. Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be. If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. Are you, are you coming to the tree where the dead man called out for his love to flee. Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be, if we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. Are you, are you coming to the tree? Where I told you to run so we'd both be free. Strange things did happen here no stranger would be, if we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. Are you, are you coming to the tree? Where a necklace of rope side by side with me. Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be. If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree". Scamp sang.
Aaliyah had her jaw open with amazement in fact Scamp sang so good that a few surfers stopped to hear her sing before they began to catch wave, heck even the seagulls even listened some sang with her. "Wow girl that was…..great. What song was that"? Aaliyah asked. "Hanging Tree". Scamp smiled. "Is it a new song"? Aaliyah asked. "It's from the 3rd Hunger Games book Mockingjay". Scamp said. "It's sounds really pretty….but it also sounds kinda sad and disturbing, especially the necklace of rope part". Aaliyah said slightly disturbed. "What does the hanging tree supposed to mean"? She asked. "It talks about two lovers trying to run away from the evil Capitol, so they were supposed to meet at a tree but they were sentenced to death by being hanged". Caleb said cutting in. He was in swim trunks he had blue Abercrombie and Finch swim trunks.
"Wow". Aaliyah said shocked. "So the necklace of rope means…"? Aaliyah asked shocked. "Yes it means the rope choked them to death". Caleb said dark. Aaliyah felt very like crying it's so sad. Two lovers trying to escape together but they were killed instead, how terrible :''(. "Are you okay Aaliyah"? Caleb asked. "Yeah I'm fine, it's just so sad". Aaliyah said glum. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel sad". Scamp said patting her back. "Yeah it's just make believe". Caleb smiled. "But it's so sad". Aaliyah said having a tear run down her cheek.
"Hey wanna go surfing"? Scamp asked wanting to change the subject. "I don't know how". Aaliyah said. "Neither do I but I can try randomly". Scamp said. "How can you try randomly"? Caleb laughed. "You never know". Scamp joked. "Okay then". Caleb said. Scamp went over to where the surf boards were stacked pile high. She grabbed a random surf board, went over to the water and started to surf.
She wasn't that bad but not great, beginners luck. "Wow she's actually surfing". Aaliyah said amazed. "Beginners luck". Caleb said. "Hey Caleb"? She asked. "Yeah"? He asked. "Can you not swim"? Aaliyah asked. "…Ummm it's more than that". Caleb said. "What is it"? Aaliyah asked. "I rather not talk about it". Caleb mumbled. "Okay no problem". Aaliyah smiled. Hours later everyone was done for the day.
But there's a surprise party for Scamp. Everyone's invited Aaliyah is to. But she's never to been a party like this. Aaliyah doesn't get invited to a lot of things at school because of her dyslexia, she's always been a loner at school her and Caleb barely interact. Aaliyah has another secret she has a crush on an employee…no it's a boy…it's a girl. And that girl would be Emma, Aaliyah is indeed Gay but not openly. Her parents and Caleb know and they're fine with it. She's been this way ever since she was 5.
"Okay if I'm going to a party I might as well dress up". Aaliyah said to herself. For a makeup idea she decided to go on YouTube and look up Michelle Phan. Michelle Phan is one of Aaliyah's favorite makeup guru's (She's mine too ^-^). She watched this smoky silver eye tutorial and thought it looked cute. She got dressed in a gold halter dress and silver ballet flats Aaliyah's makeup was silver eyes and red ruby glossy lips. She wasn't wearing a bra let's hope her dress doesn't come undone. She grabbed a small metallic silver purse and head out.
The party was on the beach there was a table with a chocolate cake, pizza, Beaver Tails and Coke. There were tiki torches everywhere the beach looked pretty good for a change. Everyone arrived but Aaliyah was a little late or fashionably late. "Yes finally found it". Aaliyah smiled. Once she arrived to the party, everyone looked at her weird because this isn't a party where you dress up. Boy did this make her awkward. "Dude what's with the get up"? Fin asked. "I thought it was a party where you dress up". Aaliyah said embarrassed. "I think your dress looks cute". Emma smiled. "Thanks". Aaliyah blushed.
Aside from Aaliyah's wardrobe mistake the party was doing pretty good until this happened. "Happy Birthday to you"! Everyone sang. Scamp smiled and blew out the candles. Once the cake was cut, Aaliyah's halter strap was coming loose. "Oh no". Aaliyah said to herself. She put the cake down and tried to fix her loose strap. "Need help"? Lo asked. "Yeah this halter strap is really loose". Aaliyah said. Lo fixed it and made sure it stayed on. "Thanks". Aaliyah smiled. "No problem". Lo smiled. Aaliyah went back to eating her cake. When she went to throw her things away she tripped! Which caused her dress to rip and she fell. Since she wasn't wearing a bra her…twins were exposed. Luckily she wasn't naked she had pink undies on.
"Are you okay"?! Emma asked. "Uh I'm guess so". Aaliyah said getting up. "Um Aaliyah"? Caleb asked blushing. "Yeah"? She asked. "Your dress isn't exactly on". Austin blushed. "What"? Aaliyah asked embarrassed. Aaliyah looked down and her dress on the ground, she looked down at herself and screamed covering her naked chest. Fin gave Aaliyah a towel to cover herself. Aaliyah ran off crying her eyes out. She sat in the surf board sack almost naked crying like a baby. "Aaliyah are you okay"? Caleb asked. "Go away"! Aaliyah shouted. "Don't worry it's not a big deal". Caleb said trying comfort her but failed miserably. "You don't understand! I made myself look like a complete idiot in front of everyone"! She shouted.
"I'm sure by tomorrow it'll blow over at least it wasn't in front the whole hotel with all the guests". Caleb said hopping it would work. Aaliyah was silent for 15 seconds then Caleb spoke up. "Look I know what it's like to be humiliated". Caleb said. "What do you know"? Aaliyah asked. "One time in 6th grade someone found out I couldn't swim". Caleb said. "What happened"? Aaliyah asked. "I was pushed into a pool and I screamed bloody murder. Everyone thought it was hilarious and I thought my life was over but by the next week it passed and I'm pretty sure this will pass to". Caleb smiled.
Aaliyah stuck her head out to see him and said. "Really"? She asked. "Totally the Harlem Shake was popular in February but now it's dead". Caleb said. If Aaliyah wasn't Gay she'd kiss him. "Thanks". She smiled. "Anytime now come on out please"? Caleb asked. "Sure". Aaliyah laughed. Aaliyah came out still wearing the towel. "Are you okay"? Niki asked. "Yeah now I am". She smiled. "Here's your dress". Niki said giving her the dress. Meanwhile with Emma and Lo, Emma had a thought that popped into her head. "Lo I think Aaliyah has a crush on me". Emma said. "How can you tell"? Lo asked. Emma explained how she knew Aaliyah had a crush on her. "Really"? Lo asked. "Yeah she's super sweet but I'm way older than her and I don't wanna hurt her feelings". Emma said.
"Well tell her you don't feel the same way". Lo said. "Oh I don't know". Emma said unsure. "Come on it worked with this guy I didn't like". Lo said. "Well….okay". Emma said still unsure. With Caleb and Sam they got dressed for bed and were uber tired. "That was a pretty good party". Sam said. "It was pretty awesome". Caleb said. "Is Aaliyah okay"? Sam asked. "Yeah she's fine". Caleb said. "Well that's good to know". Sam said. "Night". Sam said. "Night bro". Caleb said. The boys went to sleep. Later Caleb woke up on Sunset Beach in his swim trunks. He flung himself up and looked around and smiled. The sky was bluer than ever and the temperature was not to cold or to hot it was just right. And sun was bright and beautiful.
Fin, Johnny and Reef appeared. "Hey Caleb"! Reef called out. "Hey Reef". Caleb said. "We're all going down to the cliff wanna come"? Fin asked. "Um I can't really swim". Caleb mumbled. "Don't worry the water from the cliff is only 4 feet deep". Johnny smiled. "Well…okay". Caleb said. "Great follow us dude". Reef said. Caleb got up and started to sleep walk which was quickly noticed by Sam. "Caleb? Caleb where are you going"? Sam asked. Caleb didn't answer Sam followed him and tried to make come back to bed but no go. Sam had to follow Caleb and made sure he didn't fall or anything.
Back in Caleb's dream he followed them to the cliff and saw everyone swimming and having fun. Fin and Johnny jumped in. "Hey Caleb"! Emma called down. "Hey"! Caleb smiled. "Jump in come on the waters perfect"! Niki called down. Reef jumped and slashed everyone, Caleb just laughed. Sam had the worst luck on earth while trying to keep Caleb from getting danger he steps on several pine cones. On to top of that off he trips and lands in poison ivy gets in all over his arms and dog tail. And finally to top it all off he nearly got mauled by a hungry bear! Caleb walked outside and walked to the cliff and was about to jump! Sam saw Caleb and quickly ran up to him yelling. "Caleb no! Wake up! Wake up"! Sam yelled while running. In Caleb's dream things went from good to bad pretty quickly.
"Jump! Jump to your doom"! Fin shrieked as she turned into a flying demon! Everyone around him had turned into flying demons! The sky turned blood red and the water was now hot boiling lava! Caleb fell back screaming, they tried to pull him in but Sam grabs Caleb's arm and sees him struggling and wiggling around. This was one scary nightmare. "No let me go! Let me go"! Caleb shouted in his sleep. "Caleb! Wake up"! Sam yelled. Caleb was finally awake and was terrified as ever he began to cry. "I'm sorry I just….I don't know how I". Caleb cried. Sam took pity on the poor scared puppy and wrapped his arm around him.
"Sssh it's okay it was just a dream there's nothing to worry about your safe now". Sam smiled. Sam brought Caleb back into the Staff House. "What happened to your arms"? Caleb asked sleepishly. "I fell into a pile of Poison Ivy trying to stop you from killing yourself". Sam said rubbing calamine lotion on his pink/red arms. "Sorry". Caleb said. "It's fine". Sam said. "Can you try and get to sleep"? Sam asked. "I'll try". Caleb said. Caleb closed his eyes and forgot about that cray-cray dream. Wonder what happens tomorrow?
End of this chapter. I'm so sorry this took so long but my laptop was being a dick and now it's up more will be coming soon. Oh and Caleb's nightmare is based off of Anya's nightmare in Anastasia.
