I wake up very early in the Cabin, since I slept ALOT for the past few days.

I get ready and all that and I grab my make up stuff. I have a mirror hanging so I can do my make up in the cabin and not have to walk all the way to the bath house.

I finish my make up and I adjust my brace.

"Why are you up so early?" DJ asks me, half asleep.

"I have been sleeping a lot." I reply

DJ nods and lays back down.

I quickly change out of my tank top and into one of my band shirts and shorts. I throw on my Red Vans.

I notice my guitar in the corner.

I grab the acoustic and sling the strap over my shoulder and I walk out of the cabin.

It is still dark outside. The tiny sliver of the sun that is just rising lights the sky.

I close the door quietly and walk down to the shore.

A large rock sits there, looking out onto the lake.

I sit on the boulder and I position the guitar.

"I haven't played you in a while." I whisper to the guitar.

I think of a song to play. I decide on 'I'm Yours' By Jason Mraz

I stand up and begin to walk while I strum and and sing.

"Well a you done done me and you bet I felt it.

I tried to beat you but your so hot that I melted.

I fell right through the cracks, and I'm trying to get back.

Before the cool done run out ill be giving it my bestest

And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention.

I reckon it's again my turn, to win some or Learn some.

But So I won't hesitate, no more, no more.

It can not wait

I'm sure.

There's no need to complicate, our time is short.

This is our fate

I'm you-"

I stop when I hear a rustling sound in the bushes behind me.

I slowly take the strap off my shoulder an I hold on to the guitar.

Walk towards the bushes slowly. Holding the guitar, in case I have to use it as a weapon.

I inch closer and closer.

I reach my hand into the bushes and them i hear a loud static sound.

I jump back.

"Morning Campers, wake up and meet in the Mess Hall in 10."

I jog back to the cabin, hoping that I could sneak in very quietly before everyone woke up. I see everybody leave the cabin, except for Duncan.

I sneak in to see Duncan still sleeping. I quickly put up the guitar.

"Duncan, wake up." I say as I try and wake him up.

He open one eye and looks at me.

"Only because it is you," he answers in his morning voice.

"Well that makes me feel special," I say as I walk out of the cabin.

I walk into the Mess Hall and everyone is eating.

I grab some of chefs 'breakfast' and I sit down with the Bass.

A scoop up some and I try to eat it, but I notice that Trent sits in front of me.

"Wrong table," I tell him as I hold the spoon.

"I know, I just came to tell you that 'Im Yours' starts with a C chord." He says as he stands up and walks away.

I drop the spoon out of my hand and it lands in the bowl of sludge.

"I'm not stalking you or anything, but every morning I go out to the beach to relieve some stress. I heard a guitar playing so I followed it and I saw you. Then you heard me in the bushes and almost beat me with the guitar." He says with a half smile.

I was speechless, I didn't know what to say.

"Ok well see you later." he waves and walks off.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dodgeball, we are really playing dodgeball.

We are in this court with glass walls surrounding it. We all stand around Chris while he explains the rules. While Chris was beating Lindsey with the ball as a "demonstration", Duncan walks In and lays down on the bleachers.

Chris dismisses us and we walk to surround him.

"Wake me up and it's the last thing you do" he warns us.

We come up with a strategy and we begin the challenge.

*~*~*~*~*~*

The challenge is best out of 5 and we have al ready lost 2.

"Ok team, this calls for desperate measures." Courtney says while looking at the sleeping Duncan.

"Harold, go wake him up"

"Why me!?"

"Because if he kills you it won't affect us"

"Ugh ok"

Harold walks over and pokes Duncan with a stick.

Duncan grabs the stick and breaks it in half.

"I told you not to wake me up."

"Listen here, if we lose, I will make sure that you go home tonight!" Courtney threatens him.

"Ok ok fine. lets go"

Duncan, Courtney, DJ, Geoff, and I walk out on to the court.

For the Gophers Owen, Leshawna, Gwen, Lindsey, and Cody go out there. They are feeling very cocky.

'Please please let us win' I say to myself in my head.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

We actually won.

We won the last three rounds and sent the Gophers to elimination.

Because of Duncan.

We are walking back to the cabin when I feel someone tugging on my hair.

I turn around and I see Duncan.

"Your welcome for tha-, woah." Duncan begins but stops and stares at me.

"What?"

"Your, your eyes."

"Don't laugh at them, its part if the color blindness" I say as I turn away quickly.

"I've never notice them before, they are so unique and amazing. I didn't know that you were colorblind."

"I can't tell the difference between red or brown. So I just assume its all red."

"That's ...."

"That's weird, yeah I know" I say to him as I walk away.

That was the last I have heard from him the rest of the night.
