Sennie sat on a bench next to Elliot. Most people weren't there since they were eating dinner early. My dark hair was pulled back in a french braid and a hotdog sat in front of me, untouched. I didn't have an appetite. I dug my feet into the dirt. I had taken off my flip-flops and my bare feet felt cool in the dirt. The sun was shining in my eyes. I looked at Elliot. He looked so perfect in the light. My skateboard was propped up next to the bench.
We had been friends for so long. How could he not notice me? He never once tried to make a move. How could he not see that I was in love? It didn't make sense. I sighed and looked into ELiot's perfect eyes.

ELLIOT BECKETT

One of the only times Elliot didn't have his guitar strap over his shoulder was when he was eating. Food was one thing the guy didn't joke about. He was eighteen and a growing boy, thus needed his nourishment. He eyed the spread in front of him for a second–several drumstricks of fried chicken, a slice of steak doused in some kind of gravy, a small side salad and a bit of spaghetti to boot–and then dug in, leaving all manners behind.

As he shoveled another bite of the greens into his mouth, Sennie sat down next to him. He chewed the mouthful of food quickly and then swallowed. "Hey Sen!" He said cheerfully, only for it be followed by a rather loud hiccup. That's what he gets for eating way too fast.

Elliot smiled at his friend and then asked, reminding himself to eat his food slower so he wouldn't choke on it or something. A nice conversation would ensure that he paced himself, so he talked to his friend. "How's your day been?" He bit from the chicken.

Elliot began digging into his food as if he hadn't eaten in days. I didn't think it was gross. I was used to it and knew that Elliot was probably as hungry as if he had not eaten in days. Elliot, like most teenage boys, ate like a pregnant woman; he was always hungry. I, on the other hand, was anything but hungry and I stared at my hotdog wishing I had gotten a salad or something.

Elliot began to talk. Even his words were perfect. Or maybe it was just the fact that his voice were perfect. It took her a few seconds to realize he had asked her something. "I-er... I didn't catch that." I stuttered slowly. I sounded a lot like him around Perrin. How could he not see that Perrin was simply toying with his heart. I began to hum "You Belong with me" by Taylor Swift.

He laughed, because sometimes Sennie's mind just wandered. It was endearing sometimes, how absentminded she was at times. "I asked how your day was." Smiling at her, he took another bite of his steak. At the rate she was going, he'd probably probably finished all of his food before Sennie did.

"Hey, hey." Elliot said, turning to face and lightly hitting her arm with the back of his hand, so he wouldn't get any grease on her. He remembered something, and he had planned on telling her earlier but he couldn't find her, which was strange. Usually he'd see her around. "I finished one of the songs I was working on!" Elliot said excitely, so excitedly that he addicentally dropped the drumstick onto his plate and the sound it made was pretty loud. Thankfully none of the gravy spilled.

"It wasn't the one for Perrin, though. I've still gotta work on that one." He said, his mind going back to the sheets and sheets of music and lyrics that were lying around his room. "Do you wanna hear it later? If you're still eating when I finish, I could run over to my cabin, grab my guitar and come back."

And then a sudden rush of laziness washed over him and then he added, "Or I could sing it to you here. Probably just play it with my guitar later or something.".

I blushed as Elliot laughed. I was about to say my day had been uninteresting when Elliot spoke again. She smiled. He finished his song! And it wasn't the one for Perrin! That must mean he didn't have any inspiration for Perrin's Song! I think... This is good right? I wondered. I looked up at Elliot. "That's great!" I said happily. "Yeah that works too." I said trying to sound cool. Not that I knew how too.

I was excited to hear his song. All of Elliot's songs were perfectly beautiful. You could always see into his heart as he sang. I moved my braid out of my face.

He wiped the grease off the side of his mouth with a napkin. Elliot might be a boy, but he wasn't disgusting. Besides, he'd probably have to clean it off the shirt himself. Deciding to ignore his food for a second, he turned to face Sennie completely, straddling the bench.

"This is probably going to sound really weird without the guitar, but bear with me." He chuckled, clearing his throat. "Also if I sound kinda off, forgive me, since I just ate. A lot. And I'll probably just sing the first verse. I don't wanna bore you." He laughed again, and then started singing.

"I feel like a loser..." He started, taking extra care to make sure his voice was on key. "I feel like I'm lost. I feel like I'm not sure if I feel anything at all." Elliot put his hands in front of him, palms flat against the bench. "But believe me, I'm not helpless." He smiled, more to himself than to Sennie, because he was proud of what he wrote. "I just need someone to love. So my situation's rough, but that just makes me a dumb human, like you." Elliot finished, looking at Sennie and smiling widely and brightly.

"What do you think? Was it any good?" He asked, desperately. "Were the lyrics okay?"

note: if you wanna hear what he sounds like, the song is human by darren criss. :DDD

I listened to his words carefully. It was like he was telling a story although I knew it was only a song. His voice sounded so perfect and beautiful. I swayed as he sang. I took a sip of the apple juice that was sitting on the table. I became sad when the song finished. I wanted to hear more.

I smiled at him. "I love you!" I said. Then I realized what I said. "The song! I love the song! I mean er- it's great!" I stuttered, blushing. I immediately looked at my feet and tried to allow the blush to go away form my face. It wasn't working. "What-what's it called?" I asked quietly, still staring at my feet. I felt so stupid.

OOC: I love that song! xD

Elliot finished the song and simply beamed at her. He was a bit scared that it wasn't up to his usual standards, or maybe she just didn't relate to the song of appreciate the tune or any of it, but she did.

She loved it! This just made Elliot's smile become wider than it was, which he didn't think was possible. What he loved more than writing songs is someone else loving them, especially when it was someone as close to him as Sen.

"Thanks!" He said excitedly, but then added, "Are you sure there's nothing off about it? I could probably make the lyrics better or something, and you haven't even heard the guitar part! You could probably comment on the chords or something or the strumming."

Elliot noticed the small blush that crept onto her cheeks, but he ignored it. She must be cold or something.

"It's called Human." With pride, he jumped slightly in his seat. "I just really want you to hear the rest of it! But that can wait." He swung his legs over the bench and sat facing the table again.

"What's going on with you?" Elliot asked, a bit annoyed with himself that he was monopolizing the conversation. "Tell me about your day." He said, putting his elbows on the table, and then his chin on his palms. Smiling that little smile that he knew Sennie couldn't resist, he looked at her expectanlty.

I smiled at Elliot, all thoughts of embarrassment slowly creeping away. "Well, I love the lyrics and before I can really criticize you on anything, I'll have to hear the guitar part." I reasoned. I took a bite of my hotdog. "Well, things haven't been too busy. Actually, next time they have cabin leader elections I think I might run. Although, I'm not completely sure yet" I said happily. I brought my legs up on the bench and criss-crossed them. "Other than that life has been pretty ordinary." I added. A piece of hair fell from my braid so I quickly tucked it away.

I looked up at the clouds. They were white and fluffy, as usual. It never rained. This was one of the very few reasons I hated CHB. Rain was my favorite kind of weather. Especially after a week of warmth, because that's when rain seemed to feel the most refreshing. Abigail and I used to dance in the rain. I sighed. "Do you eve wish it would rain?" I asked Elliot. It was funny how we had known each other for so long yet I had never learned his opinion on the weather. It was a bit funny really.

"The one time of the day I don't have my guitar, I happen to need it. Gee, thanks life." Elliot joked, taking the last few bites of his food before staring triumphantly as his empty plate. Wiping around his mouth with a cloth napkin, he went to face Sennie again. "I do promise to play it for you as soon as possible. If I forget, you have permission to hit me." He winked playfully at her, smiling again.

He immediately sat up a bit straight and more attentively when she mentioned Cabin Leader elections. "You should go for it. You'd be a great cabin leader." He said, supportive. "If I could change my parentage for a day just to vote for you, I would." Elliot used his finger to draw a cross over his heart, and then smiled. "But seriously, you'd be great."

Sen's eyes drifted up to the sky, where the usual fluffy white clouds danced around in the wind. A small contented smile found its way to his face as she asked him a question. Elliot answered, "Well, yeah, sometimes. Running around like a maniac in the rain is one of my favorite things to do." Rain was rare. Sure, it was wonderful and dramatic and maybe even a bit romantic but that wasn't what Camp was about. Though, he had to admit, doing the obstacle courses in the rain would make it a bit of an extra challenge. "Plus, I've always wanted to dance with someone in the rain." Sighing, he laced his fingers together. "I mean, it doesn't even have to be with a girl or anything. I've just never danced with anyone in the rain, well, besides my parents, but as a teenager, I'm required to say that they don't count."

I laughed at Elliot's jokes. I tried to imagine myself Muses Cabin Leader. I shuddered. I twirled a piece of hair in between two fingers. I sighed. My eyes wandered to some younger campers, probably about 8, chasing each other. The wind picked up and I shivered. "It's gettin' kinda chilly, huh?" I muttered.
My napkin flew away quite suddenly. I jumped up from the bench we were sitting on. I ran after it. I was barefoot and the soil was covered in pebbles. I jumped up and grabbed it. I walked back to our bench. I sat and set the napkin down, under my plate so it wouldn't fly away. "Sometimes I just want to skip training and lessons and all that." I sighed and looked up at Elliot. "I mean, what's the point? The only people who actually get quests are Chiron's teacher's pets. Well, centaur's pets."

(( xD it's fine! also, sorry for shortness.))
