her voice they said sounded like jewel, who was her idol. she had seen her many times in concert at Madison Square Garden in the city and she had sang the words to every song, softly not wanting to turn the attention to herself. and so when she started lessons, they said they should learn the guitar, and then they said to sing with the guitar. and from then on, she would sing with her guitar. no matter where she went, she brought her guitar, and she would sing. anywhere. and that was what she planned to do at that moment as she walked out of cabin three and down the dirt path towards the performance studio. it was one of her favorite places because she could perform as much as she wanted too and not get kicked out. so as she walked down the path carrying her guitar case, she waved to a few kids that where going to the beach.

sure, she wanted to fit in, but she wanted to fit in by doing what she loved the most. singing. sure, she did other things and that didn't bother her, but singing for her always came first during the summer. and when she turned sixteen she went out for many competitions who all thought she was too good, and so she decided that maybe she should go to camp. and that was a good idea, because she loved it here. it gave her hope. and that was the name of the camp so she felt right at home. so when she pushed open the door to the studio, she breathed in the air, it was cool, but not that cool, and had a pretty view of the lake. so, she set up a stool, and took her guitar out of her case and sat down. strummed a few cords to make sure it was in tune, and started to sing. her favorite song by jewel.

Cutting through the darkest night are my two headlights
Trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here
To the twilight
There's a dead end to my left
There's a burning bush to my right
You aren't in sight
You aren't in sight

Do you want me
Like I want you?
Or am I standing still
Beneath the darkened sky
Or am I standing still
With the scenery flying by
Or am I standing still
Out of the corner of my eye
Was that you
Passing my by

Mother's on the stoop
Boys in souped up coupes
On this hot summer night
Between fight and flight
Is the blind man's sight
And a choice that's right
I roll the window down
Feel like I'm
I'm gonna drown
In this strange town
Feel broken down
I feel broken down
Do you need me
Like I need you

Or am I standing still
Beneath the darkened sky
Or am I standing still
With the scenery flying by
Or am I standing still
Out of the corner of my eye
Was that you
Passing my by

A sweet sorrow is
The call tomorrow
A sweet sorrow is
The call tomorrow

Do you love me
Like I love you?

Or am I standing still
Beneath the darkened sky
Or am I standing still
With the scenery flying by
Or am I standing still
Out of the corner
Of my eye
Was that you
Passing me by?

Are you passing me by?
Passing me by
Do you want me?
Passing me by

Do you need me
Like I need you too
And do you want me
Like I want you?
Passing me by

Are you passing me by
Or am I standing still?

Dani tossed on her bed as she tried to get comfortable. It wasn't working. She had been planning on taking a short rest before having to do anything more today, but it obviously wasn't to be. She stared out the small window of the cabin and watched a few birds fly by. The fact that her friends weren't around really made her stress. What was she supposed to do without them? She hadn't seen either of her best friends since the day she left camp last summer and she really missed them.

After a long pause Dani got her lazy butt off the bed and grabbed her i-pod and speakers. She placed them into a small bag and carried it out the cabin door with her. If she couldn't find anything better to do with herself she would go the the performance studio and dance. That was her life outside Camp Hope and she should embrace it more while she is here instead of playing dirty tricks on the elites.

It didn't take very long for Dani to reach the studio. She gently pushed the door open. As she did the sound of a guitar and singing filled her ears. She desperatly hoped she wasn't bothering anyone seeing this was the only solution to her boredom. She slowly shut the door behind her and then her eyes met the vocalist with her guitar.

when her song was done and she let the guitar ring out its sound until it just went away leaving dead silence in the room. her eyes scanned the room, for she hadn't known another song to sing to the room, for she wasn't sure what else the camper here would like. so, pushing a strand of blond hair away from her eyes, she noticed for the first time that a girl, maybe around her age standing by the door. many thoughts ran through her head, from was she a counselor at such a young age, or was she there to steal her song ideas? but those both seemed over rated. but she didn't know what to do, should she say hello? or should she continue on? she didn't want to be rude and not acknowledge the girl standing there, and so she called out since the room seemed so big.

hello? her voice seemed to fill the empty room as it sounded out towards the girl as she stood there. and as she waited she started to strum her guitar tab to the song Whats My Age Again by Blink 182. it was one of her favorites to play, on her electric guitar however, but she was too lazy to take it out of its case which was right by where she was sitting. it was her life music, and she wasn't going to give up that passion, ever, and then she begin to sing the song because she didn't want the silence around forever, she would stop to respond if she heard the girl speak. For she never really sang too loud, because she got nervous in font of people.

I took her out
It was a friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right


We started making out
And she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV


And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And I'm still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is A.D.D?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again? what's my age again?


But later on
On the drive home
I called her mom from a pay phone


I said I was the cops
And your husbands in jail
The state looks down on sodomy


And that's about the time that b*tch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And I'm still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is call I.D.?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again? what's my age again?


And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And you still act like you're in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again? (what's my age again?)


That's about the time that she broke up with me
No one should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in love
Why would you wish down on me
I never want to act my age
What's my age again? what's my age again?


What's my age again?

It was a bit awkward standing there saying absolutely nothing but she didn't want to interupt the song. Dani stood there quietly until the girl stopped after noticing her presence. Dani gave a small smile as she walked farther into the hall. The word hello reached her ears. After her greeting the girl began to play once again on her guitar. Dani listened for a long moment. She sounded really good. When she thought the girl was nearly finished she walked up to her.

"That sounded really good," Dani said putting out a hand and placing her bag upon the floor next to her. "I'm Dani,acctually Daniel, but everyone calls me Dani. May I ask your name?" Dani had a huge smile upon her face. This girl seemed to have some real talent and she seemed to be around Dani's age. Seeing that all Dani's closest friends hadn't become present yet maybe this girl before her could be a solution. Besides Dani was always up for making new friends anyway.
