Chapter 4: Meeting Up with Koa and Mana

Just a few miles from Whoville, Jojo makes his way over to the observatory for a little bit of time for himself to kick off the summer and he walks through the forest and hopped aboard his entrance contraptions and the giant slingshot as it shoots it was to the air and lands on the steps and walks inside with the little door underneath it and when he walks in, he could tell that a few things should be cleaned up and he picks up a rag and starts cleaning off some dust and stuff from those amazing instruments he's made.

As he's cleaning, he's thinking about having an awesome summer at Camp Harmony because it's the one place where he can feel free and just connect with music rather than all the other stuff that looks and sounds the same old same old every few years or so. Where he can hang with his friends as well as make some new ones and hope that it'll be a much better experience rather than last year's because it's been a trippy one because EDM and pop took over some parts of the days and he just hopes that it'll be back to what it was before then.

After several minutes of cleaning, he sees two people walking by and recognized them almost immediately and exclaimed, "Koa! Mana!"

Mana looks up and sees Jojo there and he said, "What's up, Jojo?"

Jojo puts down his rag and climbs down from the ladder and makes his way towards the both of them as he gives Koa a bro-hug and Mana a tender hug of embrace and Jojo said, "What brings you guys here?"

"Just wanted to see you, man. We still up for gazing at the stars tonight?" asked Mana.

"Of course. It's our out of school for the summer tradition." Jojo replied.

Koa nods his head in response to that and he suddenly said, "Will Brutus be there?"

"Yeah, Brutus, Jonah, Travis, Sam, Mike, Cody, Ryan...just about the entire gang will be there. It'll be just like how it always has been, talking about stuff like life, friendships and what would everything be like in the next 10 years or something." Jojo answered.

Mana nods his head at this and he comes close to Jojo and holds his hand for a while and Jojo felt a little speechless, but somewhat comforted by this and looks at Mana deeply in his eyes for a while and said, "I agree."

Koa sees this and he seemed a little bit left out knowing that Mana and Jojo are a couple that he hopes that he can tell most of them about a crush he's been having for a while. but doesn't want anyone else to know yet...not even his crush. He puts his hands on both pockets and just watched both Mana and Jojo kiss each other on the lips and their hands around each other in silence.

The minute Mana and Jojo stopped kissing each other and just stared at each other could only solidify their loyal unit has been further more than just friends and Mana chuckled and said, "This is gonna be a great summer."

"I know." Jojo whispered.

Both of them kept staring at each other until they hear an 'ahem' behind them and realized that Koa was still here and Jojo chuckled in embarrassment and scratched the back of his head while Mana blushed a little and Jojo said, "Sorry about that, Koa."

"It's all good. I'm just really happy for you guys." Koa replied, with a forced smile.

Mana could tell that something's up with Koa, but didn't want to get into too much detail about what's bugging him and just puts it off for a while and moved on to something else as he looks at all of Jojo's contraptions while and Koa followed behind him and as he was walking, he received a text from his WhoPhone, pulls it out and it read, 'I know that summer has just begun, but what's more warmer than the sun is your heart. I just hope you feel the same way about me.'

Once Koa received that text, he felt both happy and curious to see who this secret admirer is and he responded back through text and after he sent it, he hopes to have a response very quickly and puts it back in his pocket and continues following Jojo and Mana.

Mana turned around to see Koa lighting up somehow and he said, "You seem happy."

"Well...I guess you can say that." Koa replied, glowing.

Mana rose his eyebrow at this and wondered what was up with him because the first minute he was sad and now he's happy about something. Whatever it is, he needs to keep an eye on Koa a little more, but for now...whatever made him happy, he can't question it.
