Clunk... clunk... clunk, this banging sound was of course caused by the tennis ball that Noah Pino was tossing against the wall opposite of his bed. Normally he would be keeping himself busy, whether he was doing some activity around camp or just hanging out with a few peopl. But not today. Today, Noah was bored and had nothing to do, for once. So, this leads up to the reason why he was tossing a tennis ball against the wall of his cabin while lounging on his bed. Pretty sad, huh? Of course, he could always text one or two of his friends to met him somewhere, but his phone was all the way over in his bag, which was practically at the other end of the cabin. And a certain someone was feeling a bit too lazy to bother getting up, walk over, and pick it up.

So, on the banging noise went. However, it soon stopped once his phone started playing D.A.N.C.E. by Justice, which was obviously the ring tone he set to notify him of any text messages he would receive. Exhaling a slightly annoyed sigh, Noah pulled himself to the edge of his bed and then jumped up, quickly making his way over to his bag, and fished around in it for his cell phone. He grabbed it, flipped it open, and a small dissapointed frown soon wrapped his lips once he noticed who the text was from; the guy that had ben taking care of him for the whole sixteen years of his life, Jonathan. Apparently, was just checking in on Noah to see how things were going. He sent a quick text in return, to let Johnathan know he was fine and everything was great, and then slipped the phone into his shorts pocket.

Since he was up now, Noah decided to take a stroll around the camp. It was better than staying cooped up inside all day, anyway. He was about to leave his room, until he realized what he was wearing; a simple, white 'wifebeater' and his red plaid shorts, which appeared to be slightly wrinkled. Oh well. He grabbed a black Polo shirt and quickly pulled the article of clothing on, fixing the collar as he left the cabin.

The walk didn't seem to last very long, considering he found himself seated at one of the tables in the mess hall. Great, he got a lot of exercise from that walk - not. A low sigh slipped passed Noah's lips as he folded his arms in front of him, on the table. Out of pure boredom, his eyes began to follow the small cracks and tiny wholes in the table, as if trying to find a patteren of some sort. Of course, there wasn't one. It was just a bunch of random scratches and whatnot. Nothing special. God, this was totally pointless. Being here was totally pointless. He should have just stayed home, at least there he had Johnathan to keep him company.

Melissa sat in her bunk, it was full of all four girls and they were being obnoxiously loud this morning. She had a headache and they wouldnt shut up. Guys could you lower the volume, just a tad? she asked. A few girls looked at her and one gave her a nasty look why dont you just get out? she said crossing her arms. Melissa looked at her and sat up. Well excuse me for being a freakin human and wanting some quiet she said jumping down. When you are mature call me she said before walking out and slamming the door.

This stunk, Melissa always got roomed with annoying girls every year. She sighed as she walked into the sun, it wasnt even breezy today. Her dress wasnt moving, it actually stuck to her body and she hated it. She decided to go indoors where it was cool. She walked down the path her brown flip flops clapping against the floor, she finally walked into the mess hall and looked around. It wasnt much cooler but at least it was cool.

She walked up in the line and grabbed an apple, she wasnt very hungry but decided to eat it anyway. As she walked she noticed Noah was in there. She felt her cheeks pinken and she walked towards an empty table, she sat down and took a bite. She really wasnt hungry. She put the apple in her hands in front of her and looked at it. She sighed and used her other hand to rub her temples, headaches were killer.

The detail of the table soon bored Noah as well. He lifted his gaze to observe the few people that were either in line or talking amongst themselves at the other tables. Outcast again, it seemed. He was about to get up and continue on with his walk, but his attention was unexpectedly caught by the figure of a lone girl seated at a table in the middle of the cafeteria. It was Melissa, and of course this caused him to change his mind about leaving right away. No matter how much he mentally urged himself to focus on something else, he couldn't tear his gaze from her. It was mostly surprise that sparked his curious and attentive staring, surprise that he hadn't noticed her before. He couldn't even place a name to her or an idea of a name. She was also quite stunning, which was the other reason that brought on Noah's staring.

Realizing he had been gawking at her for the past minute or so, he quickly averted his gaze to the other campers seated at various tables, pretending to be looking for someone and hoping she hadn't noticed his staring. Though his pretending was a bit silly, considering it was quite obvious he had been looking at her. He debated over the idea of talking to Melissa. There was a fifty-fifty chance that she might end up rejecting him. But there was also a fifty-fifty chance that she could end up being an all around nice girl and actually talk to him. He needed to be cool, or at least seem like he was. Exhaling a deep sigh to relax his nerves, Noah started toward the table she was seated at.

He began to mentally play out the different, possible scenarios that could occur by how he approached her, as every step he took brought him closer and closer to the table. It could turn out badly and he could end up looking like a complete idiot, but he was willing to take that chance. Noah was standing near the table before he realized it, which took him slightly by surprise. He shook his head lightly and regained his composure before clearing his throat. This was it, time to figure this girl out, or at least start a friendly conversation.

Allowing himself to set eyes on her again, he quickly thought of how to go about this, "Hey," he started off, waiting for her to acknowledge his presence before he continued, "Mind if I sit with you?" he inquired, gesturing to the seat across from her with his hand. Not exactly original or anything, but he felt it was the more appropriate greeting, considering they were in the mess hall.

Melissa sat staring at her apple, there was nothing better to do. She realized after a few moments a few other campers were looking at her and she looked down at the apple, it had fallen out of her hand and she didnt even realize it. idiot someone mumbled. She felt embaressed and grabbed the apple taking another bite. She was debating in her head weather to leave or not.

She looked around and her eyes caught Noah's, feeling him looking at her she looked back at the apple and didnt move. She felt as if she was being examined and she didnt want to fail the exam, so she stayed completly still. She turned her head and noticed he was gone, time to run. She was about to depart when she heard a voice, it made her jump out of her skin. Regaining her composure she looked up only to have her heart drop..again.

There he was, Noah, standing right in front of her. She felt her face brighten in a pink form and she felt the need to almost scream. She looked at him as he asked to sit down, after a moment she realized he was standing there, in front of her..waiting for an answer. She nodded her head and forced out a Y-Ye-Yeah. She felt like an idiot as she took the apple in her hands. She looked in her lap feeling him looking at her.

She didnt want to look like an akward freak so she sighed and managed to look up Uhm..Hi she said smiling akwardly. She was trying her best to not puke but it just seemed to surreal that he was talking to her, yet that he was even almost touching her knee's with his. She shrugged the akwardness away and slapped herself mentally and looked at him Im Melissa she said smiling, he obviously knew that.

Oh my God, oh my God, OH MY GOD! was running through Noah's mind as he continued getting closer and closer to her table. He couldn't believe he was doing this. At least he was finally able to prove to himself that he had some courage built up. But that wasn't important, at the moment. What was important was that he was about to approach Melissa, in hopes of it ending for the better rather than the worse. So far, it was inbetween. He couldn't tell if she was actually happy he came over, or if she was just being nice but wanted nothing more than to disappear. Nonetheless, a small smile spread along his lips and he took a seat across from her.

Now, this was the difficult part, actually starting the conversation. Sure, there were plenty of ways to start one and everyone always says it's so simple. But, really, it's not. Especially when you're trying to impress someone. Lucky for Noah, Melissa started talking before he could babble like an idiot, "Yeah," he nodded his head a few times once she gave him her name, his smile growing ever so slightly. Of course, he already knew exactly who she was. It sounded kind of freaky, almost stalker-ish, but it was true, "I'm nice - I mean, I'm Noah, it's nice to meet you." he added without really thinking, and chuckled nervously. Damn, he definitely screwed up that one and now he felt stupid. Plus, if he knew her name, than he was certain she must of already knew his. Oh well, strike one for him.

The introductions were over and Noah's mind went blank. Now the actual conversation had to start, but he ddin't know what to say and waht not to say. He already made himself look like a dork, so he was kind of nervous about doing that again... and again. He cleared his throat again, just to make sure his voice wouldn't crack because that would be way more embarrassing, "So, uhm... what's up?" Stupid, stupid, stupid! What a ridiculous question to ask. His chance of seeming cool was totally ruined now. His smile faltered slightly, and he waited for the odd look he had received countless times before.

Melissa looked at the table as he sat down, she had a feeling he thought she didnt want him there. Thats not what she wanted, she wanted him to stay, to never leave..as cheesy as that sounded it was true. She looked up as he stumbled over his words. It was cute and it brought a small smile to her face. She looked at him. Well its nice to meet you too she managed to get out in a calm voice.

Okay she was calming down now and things were still moving in an akward pace but it was okay. She looked at him as he asked her what was up. Ah small talk, how she loved it - not. Small talk had to be the most akward thing to her. As she looked at him searching for something to say she wanted to break the barrier and just say You have caught my attention lets go somewhere private but there were two things wrong with that, one it was way to rushed and two, it sounded skanky.

She looked in her head for words and finally spat out Im good, just a little nervous right now she slapped her leg with her hand underthe table, why in the hell did she just say that? great things were sure to be akward now. Melissa wanted to just get up and leave, no get up and run. But she didnt. Maybe he would leave first, then she would probably feel akward and cry. Either way she couldnt believe what she just said

He was sure she thought he was a dork now. No doubt about it. But what really surprised him was that she was still sitting there, with him. Maybe she really didn't mind him after all. The small bit of hope that Noah received from that thought made him relax a little, but not quite enough to make him feel comfortable in the situation. A smirk tugged at the corners of his lips, revealing partial bits of his teeth once she spoke again.

Alright, so this wasn't so bad anymore. It was still a little awkward, but they were definitely progressing. And to make it even better, Melissa didn't give him a strange look. She didn't even seem repeled by him at all, which just encouraged him even more to keep this going and not to give up so easily. He stared at her for a moment, in disbelief, once she replied to his question. She was feeling nervous? Why would she be feeling nervous? She was so beautiful that she intimidated him, but yet she was feeling the same way he was. Noah couldn't help but laugh, now. It must have seemed like he was crazy because he went from dead serious to laughter, "I'm sorry," he started in between a laugh before calming down, "It's just.. I feel the same way." he finished, keeping his gaze locked on her.

Now he felt so much better than before, just to know that he wasn't the only one struggling with this. Even though it sounded kind of mean, he was glad she felt the same way he did. Not just because of the fact that she was nervous, but because he was able to relate with her in that way, as odd as it sounded. A small grin slowly developed across his face as an idea popped into mind, and he tilted his head slightly to the side, his gaze falling to the table, "Hey, uhm, do you wanna go swimming with me?" It was a pretty hot day out, and the air was humid and sticky, so why not? Sure, it was probably pretty random of him to go from the awkwardness to going swimming. But he was starting to feel a little uncomfortable from the heat, which was causing his shirt to stick to his body. Plus, it would give him a chance to get to know her better.

She sat looking at her lap, her hands which were holding the apple were now in her lap. She didnt look at him feeling mortified, she was a freak and this made her just want to leave. Looking out of the corner of her eye she saw a stray bird. Rubbing the apple she tossed it over and nearly jumped when he started laughing.



She looked up at him through her bangs and noticed he was cracking up..did she have something on her face, was something wrong. She looked down at her body and rubbed her face trying for him not to notice. She looked up when he apologized and said that he was nervous, okay so it wasnt that bad. She sighed with relief Oh,I thought..nevermind she said smiling a warm smile.


Oh so he is nervous too..? she wasnt sure why he was but whatever, atleast she wasnt alone. As they sat there in silence she shifted in her seat and pushed her leg out, unaware of how close they were she felt her knee brush against his Oh uh..sorry she said moving it quickly, she felt her cheeks get a bright red and she rubbed them with her fingers. Just keep making an ass out of yourself thats great Mel she shouted to herself in her head.



She sighed and looked up at him as he spoke. Sure she said smiling. It was uncomfortably hot at that moment and she just needed to get away. But Im not a very good swimmer, Ill tell you that she said shrugging So if I drown you have to save me..deal? she asked looking at him, she was hoping to ease the tension between the two..she couldnt take it anymore.

Tilting his head slightly to one side, he looked at Melissa curiously once she didn't finish what she was about to say. She had probably gotten the impression that Noah was a little crazy or maybe she had thought that he had been laughing at her. Either way, she seemed to brush it aside with that dazzling smile of hers, which caused his lips to curl up into a small smile as well.

Silence soon fell over the two, again. Great, they were right back were they started out with. Well, at least the awkwardness had been dismissed earlier, if only for a few minutes or so. Noah noticed the small movement she made in her seat and then felt her knee brush up against his, which almost startled him. Even though it was an accident, the small contact between the two sent a chill down his spine and he cleared his throat slightly before speaking up, "It's alright, I-" he stopped himself mid-sentence before he made a fool of himself, again, and just displayed a smirk along his lips.

A sense of relief soon washed over him, though, once Melissa agreed to go swimming with him. The next remark she made caused a grin to replace his smirk, and he laughed slightly, "Alright, deal." he nodded his head once and pushed himself up from the table, "I'm like a fish, so you don't have to worry about drowning." he added, walking over to her side of the table. Noah held out one of his hands for her to take, to help her stand up from her seat. He had always been taught by Johnathan to be polite and be a gentleman, so he didn't really think twice about what he was doing and whether or not it would make this situation all the more awkward.

Melissa felt the silence between them and sighed. She slapped herself mentally for letting it get this akward. She looked at him as he took in her answer and statement of how she could barely swim. The next couple seconds went by way to fast. Before she knew it, he was standing next to her with his hand out to help her up. She turned and looked at him deciding not to say any objection she took his hand and pulled herself up.

She looked at their hands and did the thing that she did the most, day dream. She thought of alot of things, but mainly of what would happen today. She didnt want to be akward with him all the time. Snapping herself out of her daze she realized she was still holding his hand. Pulling her hand away gently she scratched her head and chuckled looking down at her feet. Uhm would it be okay if we stopped at my cabin? she asked looking at him. She needed her swim suite, and she was not swimming in a dress.
