Despite the fact that Gerard is already 17, his mother has decided that he should try going to camp. Really, why not? A guy like Gerard at camp, that's a brilliant idea.

He ended up spending all his time alone, he was interested in some of the guys around him, but he was afraid to get to know them. The one he was interested in was you.

He found you cool, your character, your looks, and he thought you should have a lot in common. And so he sat at one of the tables outside, watching you while you were by the lake.
