Ashley

Ashley hurriedly grabbed her jazz shoes and ran her hair brush through her long silk locks, before quickly discarding it. She ran out of her cabin and rushed to the dance area of the camp. 'I can't believe I slept in,' Ashley growled in annoyance under her breath. Then again it shouldn't surprise her; she would ditch Gary for an extra ten minutes snuggled up in bed. She waved a quick hello to young campers as she rushed to her class.

"Ashley wait!" She turned around to see a disheveled James running towards her. 'Ugh I'm really going to be late now,' Ashley thought as she let out an exasperated sigh, 'I hope Esme isn't having a hard time on her own,' she silently prayed. As Jason reached her she was able to notice a black eye in the beginning stages of formation on his right eye. Ashley let out a low whistle.

"Wow since when does Pacifist James get into fights?" Ashley asked quizzically as she arched her brow in concern.

James shrugged sheepishly and turned away from her embarrassed, "I got into it with Sky... after you girls performed he said unsavory things about Bri-You girls," He sighed in annoyance and turned to face her. "Is it really true Briana is dating Drew?" James asked off handedly although Ashley could see the worry in his eyes.

Ashley sighed as she leaned against the maple tree they were standing under. She looked up at the cerulean sky that was coated by white cotton balls of clouds. "Why does it matter?" She stated as she cocked her head to the side.

She peered at him only to see he was taken aback by her statement, "I.. uh... well..," he rambled on for a second before regaining his composure, "It doesn't. I just don't trust him."

"I see hmmm," Ashley mumbled she gathered her jazz shoes which had fallen from her hands. She began to walk away from James before he grabbed her wrist and stopped her in her tracks.

"Ashley you never answered my question." He looked at her in expectation.

Ashley turned her sapphire eyes on him, "And you never answered mine." James's eyes widened in surprise and his hold softened. Ashley untangled her wrist from his hold, but before she walked away she placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder, "James just admit you have feelings for Briana."

James was about to protest before Ashley cut him off with a stern look," You're face is like an open book, so stop lying to yourself it's not healthy."

She turned and checked her watch, 'I'm really late class is over in ten minutes,' she sighed in frustration and began to run in direction of the large grey building that housed the different dance studios. As she ran her thoughts drifted back to James. It was obvious that he was attracted to Briana, and yet he refused to acknowledge it. She shook her head, 'I just hope our crazy plan works,' Ashley prayed as she neared her destination.

33 May 33

May sat uncomfortably in her bar stool as she waited for her friends to show up. They had decided during their lunch break to meet in the music bar to continue their scheme. May having finished her classes first with Drew had arrived before their friends.

"May what's been going on with you lately?" Drew asked as he quirked his eyebrow quizzically. May shrugged and quickly looked away from Drew. Having been forced to spend the entire day with Drew for the past week had confirmed May's unwanted suspicious in regards to her heart. 'Of all the guys I had to fall for the most unattainable one,' she screamed in her head.

"I'm just tired being a camp counselor is no walk in the park," May smiled reassuringly to make it more convincing.

Drew flicked his hair and smirked at her arrogantly, "June why am I not surprised."

May rolled her eyes in mock annoyance, "Oh haha like I haven't heard that before," May replied sarcastically as she pulled a face at Drew. She stuck her tongue out at him childishly. Drew chuckled at her childish antics casting a pink glow on May's cheeks.

"Hey guys sorry we're late!" Dawn yelled as she approached the table with the rest of the group pilling behind her.

"Troublesome do you have to be so loud?" Paul muttered under his breath.

Dawn scowled, "Ummmmm Yep."

Briana walked over to Drew and quickly planted a quick kiss on his lips. May could feel her heart constrict even though she knew it was all fake it still didn't take the pain away. She averted her eyes and scanned the room for James. She found him staring in their direction looking extremely peeved. A week had passed and tonight would be the night Drew would publicly break it off with Briana.

"So what song are you going to sing Drew?" Briana asked raising her eyebrow.

"That my dear Briana is a surprise," Drew replied mysteriously as James approached their table seething.

"Boys everything is set up for your performance tonight," James stated through gritted teeth. A chorus of good lucks were heard from all the girls as they cheered on their friends or in Ashley's and Briana's case their boyfriends.

As the boys stepped onto the stage Ash grabbed the bass guitar, while Paul took over the drum set, and Gary took his spot next to the electric guitar. Drew grabbed the microphone from the stand and quickly flicked his hair.

The girls seemed to go wild, "Seriously they're worse than the guys," May huffed in annoyance as she crossed her arms. The girls simply giggled at their friend's attitude.

"I'd like to dedicate this song to someone I have admired for a very long time," May cocked her head to the side confused. She looked at Ashley, "That doesn't sound like he's breaking up with Briana."

Ashley smiled a knowing gleam sparkling in her eyes, "Just wait for it," Ashley responded with a flirtatious wink. May turned her attention back to the stage.

"This song goes out to you May Mapel." May gasped in surprise she wasn't expecting this. She quickly looked in Briana's direction to see that she was staring at her in bewilderment, before quickly getting up from the table, and re siting with some of the campers.

May was about to get up and talk to her before Ashley stopped her, "May remember Briana is just acting for James. She isn't really upset, so sit down." Ashley hurriedly whispered in her ear. May nodded dumbfounded and sat herself down still in a state of shock.

The boys quickly started to play a slow upbeat melody that quickly sped up Drew took a breath and started to sing. May wasn't the type to swoon but Drew's performance was definitely leaving her weak at the knees. As he sand the first chorus he pointed at her in every lyric that referenced her.

(Drew)

Her eyes Her eyes

Make the stars look like they're not shinin'

Her hair Her hair

Falls perfectly without her tryin'

She's so beautiful

And I tell her everyday.

Drew walked over to Ash and they both began to sing the next lyrics. Misty sighed dreamily as she heard Ash singing, and May had to admit he was an amazing singer, although her attention was mainly focused on Drew.

(Drew & Ash)

Yeah I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me

And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see

But everytime she asks me do I look okay?

I say

Drew left his friends' side and began to walk downstage towards the girls' table or more specifically May. She could feel her heart speeding up and a blush slowly forming on her porcelain skin. Drew now stood in front of her he smiled sweetly down at her and began to sing once again.

(Drew and The Guys)

When I see you're face

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for awhile

'Cause girl, you're amazing

Just the way you are

As the song came to an end May couldn't find words to describe the way she was feeling.

"So what did you think May?" Drew asked her genially seeming to want an answer. May was about to answer when Briana came up to them.

She seemed angry but May knew it was all an act, "I can't believe you would do this Drew? You're a complete and utter jerk!" Briana screamed before running out of the Fruti Music Bar.

"Briana wait!" May turned to see James chasing after Briana.

"Guys I think our plan worked," Esme gushed excitedly in a low whisper.

Ashley smiled," Umhm looks like it," she looked over at Drew and May and smiled knowingly, "We should go now I don't really like all the looks we're getting," Ashley suggested.

May smiled gratefully at her friends she couldn't agree more. She looked up at Drew, "You were really good out there." She smiled at him before gathering her things to leave," I just wish you actually would have meant it," May thought to herself.
