I'm finally getting to editing... note to self... do this before you publish lol
I scanned my luggage once more before turning around to face my mom. She was cheesing like an idiot.
"Okay, smile!" She held up the camera to her eyes. I gave her a sarcastic smile and she snapped a picture. "Oh, come on, you could be happier than that!" I rolled my eyes.
"I'm going to a camp with a whole bunch of musicians! And what do I do? Eat, sleep and poop." I told her. "Wow, this is going to be ex-citing." I turned around to face my luggage again.
We were waiting for the my bus to arrive. I was going to a camp called, "Music is Life". Obviously a camp for musicians. Like, I don't know, not me? But my mother insists I go for the sake of, "learning new things" and "meeting new people". The two things I'm not good at. I was only lucky when I tried out for dance class where I met my bff's, Vanessa and Harry. Also where I learned to expertly dance thanks to Mr.Hudson!
My mum's frown quickly turned into a smile when she saw the bus coming down the street. "Okay, so you have everything?" She asked, speed walking towards me checking everything. "Oh my gosh! Where is the permission slip!!" The bus started to pull up and my phone beeped. I checked my messages and saw that Vanessa had texted me: "I see you >:)" I quickly looked up and there she was with her cheek smushed up against the glass, waving frantically at me. I shook my head.
I walked towards the bus as my mom ran out of the house, shaking the permission slip. "MELODI!!" She yelled. I rolled my eyes. She handed me the permission slip. "Now you have fun... call me if you need me, okay?" She kissed my forhead and let me go. The bus driver helped me get my luggage into the back.
"Name?" He asked with a raspy voice. He took out a few name tags and I said, "Melodi Parks" He wrote my name on all of the name tags and attatched them to my luggage. "Take a seat, anywhere." His breath smelled like cigarettes and cheetos. I squinted my eyes and nodded, forcing a smile.
I sat down next to Vanessa and finally took a breath. She laughed. "You smelled it too?" She asked. I nodded, laughing along with her. The bus driver closed the doors and took off. After a few minutes, two adults in the front stood and turned around. The lady had short brown hair and a light blue blouse on and the guy had honey blonde hair and a grey muscle tee on.
"Hey, everyone!" The lady said in a high pitched voice. "Oh, God." I whispered to Vanessa. "I'm Leanne." She looked at the guy and he said, "I'm Trent."
"You're a sexy man, Trent." Someone commented. Okay not just someone but Vanessa. Did I mention Vanessa was crazy!? Trent turned bright red and smiled. "Umm.. thanks?" I laughed and nudged Vanessa. "Anytime, babe." She winked at him. I shook my head.
"Anyways.." Leanne continued, "We will be your mentors! As you all know, we will be going to NYU for this music camp... did anyone not pay their plane ticket already?" She asked. A few people raised their hands and she promised to get with them when she was finished. "Okay, now, there are... 20 of you. Ten will go with me and ten with Trent." A whole bunch of girls hands shot up. "Can I be with Trent?" One asked. "Me too!" Another yelled until they were all arguing.
"Okay, ladies, settle down, Trent will be picking his own members." Leanne assured us. They all sighed in disappointment. She explained more rules before she started picking people for her group.
"These girls are soooo thirsty." Vanessa claimed. "I know right." I agreed. "Yea, like, did they not see me call dibs?" I laughed at her.
"...You two ladies. What are your names?" Vanessa and I looked up at Trent who was staring at us. "Us?" I asked. He nodded. We heard groans from the ladies on the bus.
"Jealous? Or nah." Vanessa asked.
"I'm Melodi Parks and she's Vanessa North." I informed him. He wrote down our names. "You just couldn't resist me, could you, Trent? I understand." Vanessa told him. He laughed under his breath. He continued writing down names on his list and we finally pulled up at the airport. We all got off the bus and stood outside waiting for the mentors.
"Okay, everyone has the shirts we passed out, right?" Leanne asked. Everyone nodded. She had everyone split up with our mentors and enter the building. Our flight was leaving in about five minutes and everyone was frantic.
"Okay, make sure you have all your luggage... umm.. Tiffany please stop touching me." Trent looked down at the girl who had been caressing his chest. She quickly slid her hand behind her neck and cleared her throat. "But don't pretend like you don't like it."
"FLIGHT TO NEW YORK, ALL ABOARD." A lady spoke into the intercom. "Everyone prepared?" Trent questioned. "Yep" I answered. He smiled.
We walked into the plane and Vanessa and I took our seats in the front. "Window seat!" Vanessa claimed, pushing me over into the next seat, bumping into to someone while she squeezed into our seats. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" I turned around and faced a guy with brown hair and brown eyes. He was staring at my butt.
"Umm..?" He snapped out of his gaze then looked up and smiled at me. "It's okay." He chuckled. I smiled then turned around and looked at Vanessa with confusion. She shrugged. "He's also sexy, though." I agreed with her. "Yea he is." I looked over at him with his earbuds in his ears, his eyes closed, leaned back and slightly bobbing his head to the music.
That much sexy shouldn't be legal.
His mum should be arrested.

"Vanessa!" I poked Vanessa continously until she finally opened one eye. "What?" She whispered. "We're in New York." I informed her. She turned over. "Please exit the plane" the man on the intercom said. I poked her again. Trent came back on to the plane to check on us. "Is she awake yet?" He asked. "She's refusing to move." I told him. He shook his head. "I'm 19." He said. I shrugged as he leaned down to wake Vanessa up. Lip to ear. Ear to lip. Whet.
She quickly sat up and looked around. I was wide eyed. Trent walked off the plane.
Too close for comfort.
"Oh my-- I think I just had a heart attack I'm pretty sure... I'm sure I heard him. I heard Trent and omg he is so in to me right now. I'm the milk to his cow." She stood and up and walked off the plane as I tagged along laughing my head off. Vanessa grinned. "You just wait. I'll be Rapunzel, he'll be Flynn Rider." She flipped her hair.
"He so wants to climb my tower." She winked.
Typical Vanessa.
Soon we arrive at NYU in relief. All rules were explained to us so we quickly went up to our preferred rooms and unpacked our bags.
I changed out of my "flight clothes" and into something casual. We were all going to meet in the lecture hall tomorrow so for the rest of the day, we were free to explore NYC. I finally got to lay back in my bed and there was a knock at the door.
"Whet." Vanessa answered.
I looked up and the guy that I had bumped into on the plane was at the door. "Umm, Trent's group is going for Taco Bell tonight, you guys.. wanna come?" He asked, then looked up at me, smiled and back at Vanessa.
"First, tell me what I'm eating." Vanessa looked him up and down and winked. "Oh, God, Vanessa." I shook my head and pushed her out the way. "Yea, we'll come." I smiled. He nodded and then left. I closed the door. "How many guys are you going to hit on before you're satisfied?"
"Won't stop until one of them loves me." She replied and slipped on her white flats. "Who wouldn't?" I said in a sarcastic tone while putting my converses on.
As we walked out the door, we saw that a few people from our group were by the elevator, waiting. They waved at us. We waved back.
"Price is on us." Trent claimed, pointing at himself and another guy. We all jammed ourselves into the elevator, making a stop on the second floor to inform Leanne that we were leaving.
Since Taco Bell was closer than you would've thought, we walked, which only took a few minutes. I decided to walk next to Trent. Why? because I was interested.
Thirsty? Nah.
"So Trent..?" I started. he looked at me. "Yes?" I smirked. "19?" He nodded. There was a quick pause and then he said, "don't even talk about it." I smirked. "You're immature." I told him. He grinned.
"Why are you talking to bae without me?" Vanessa asked, walking up beside Trent. He looked at her and then looked back ahead. "You remind me of dub step." He told her. She tilted her head. "How?"
"You're so loud and energetic and... wild. But you're so cool to be around, ya know?" She smiled at this. "Makes sense... and you like dubstep right?" She asked. He nodded. "Love it." and smirked.
And I could've sworn I saw her do a silent victory dance.
