| Chapter Two |
| Scott: Soon after everyone went to organize things around their bunks, Emma and I went to do the same. Pretty much everyone was already done so they headed back to the common area, only Teresa was missing. As Emma unloaded her massive amount of clothing I wandered off towards the other rooms. I stopped outside of Teresa's curtain. She was singing. "Starlight twinkle little eyes...watching far above me.." It was a song she'd written herself, I remembered. I pushed opened the curtain and she abruptly stopped singing. "Scott." She said sounding surprised, "you scared me, I didn't know I had an audience" "Sorree" I apologized. "No, I'm sorry that you had to hear it" I rolled my eyes. She loved to sing but after about the age of 9 she would rarely sing for people anymore. She suddenly became self-consciencious I guess. "Well, to what do I owe the pleasure of a visit from you and Gizmo?" she asked. I had totally forgotten I was still holding the stuffed animal. I really didn't have answer to her question. I just kind of wandered back here. "I, uh, wanted to thank you for reminding me to bring little Gizmo here" I said, blurting out the first thing that came to mind. "Yeah well, didn't want to see you cry about it missing him" I gave her a mocking offended look. "And what would you do if Ellie missed the bus?" I said slyly, as I picked up a used-to-be white stuffed elephant off her bed. She grabbed it back, "I'd cry of course, Ellie comes with me everywhere, just like Gizmo goes everywhere with you" I smiled, "I think Gizmo and Ellie need eachother anyway" I joked. She smiled back and laughed. It was the first time I'd made her laugh in ages, I had missed it. Emma: I heard what sounded like Teresa's laugh and I looked around only to find an empty room. I realized Scott was gone. I headed towards Teresa's bunk and found him there. "There you are baby." I said, wrapping my arms around him and giving him a kiss. "Oh, um, Hi Emma, I was just talking with Teresa" I glared at her, she shot me a death stare. "Well I'm lonely. Come keep me company?" He glanced back at Teresa but I grabbed him, and kissed him again. I'm not taking any chances on loosing Mr. Moneybags here. Plus, it was great irritating these people. "C'mon" I said, pulling him out of the room. Teresa: I watched as Emma towed Scott away. I realized that before she has interrupted, Scott and I had been having a normal conversation. We hadn't said much at all to eachother in so long. He'd even made me laugh. Of course, it was easy to make me laugh, just like Scott had said that night..I shook myself out of it. I needed to be with people I thought to myself as I headed toward the common area. Walking into the area, I slammed right into Emma who aparently was going in the other direction. "Move! I need my lipstick, It all rubbed off" she said rudely and she shoved me aside. She started walking away. By instinct, I went to punch her but Whitney and Nikki each grabbed an arm. I twisted trying to loosen there grip, "I could take her" I grumbled. "We know" Whitney said calmly. I stopped fighting their grip. "Please? Just one hit." "No" they said firmly" I sighed and thought Probably for the best. Wouldn't want her to break a nail. Chapter Three... |
