    WELCOME TO BAND CAMP
    MEET THE CAMPERS!!
    A Candy Scoop Exclusive
    We here at Candy Scoop are thrilled to be your number one source for gossip and scandal on the new show Band Camp . The house is super gorgeous, right near the beach in nearby Santa Monica, and filled to the brim with hot new musicians hoping to make it in the tough music industry. Good Luck, guys!! Be sure to give us something fun to gossip about ;)
    It’s time to meet the campers:
    We have the lovely ladies of THE PIXIES: CHELSEA, ANDREA, SAVANNAH, and GRACIE. Their great looks and soulful sounds are sure to have you couch dancing in no time!
    No music house would be complete without a few Alterna-hotties! OCD members JEFF, TYLER, and BRENT fill that role. If you like your boys tatted and complete with eyeliner, this band is for you!
    Our two fantastic soloists are the guitarist with a voice from above CHRIS COLLINS and dreamy hip hop soulman ISAIAH PHILLIPS. Can’t wait to see what these two have in store for us.
    And last but not least is the Band Camp boy band, STATIC. We’re screaming and crying already!! There’s sexy southern REECE, brooding gorgeous WEBB, cute boy next door TATE, funny and adorable DANNY, and pretty boy ELLIOT who might look like an angel but has a voice like sin. Tell us who your favorite is! Picking a favorite member is boy band tradition after all….
    We can’t wait for you guys to get to know the Band Camp cast. We love them already!

    “O KAY , guys, come along this way. I’ll show you to your rooms first, and then I can introduce you to the other artists in the house. I think most of them are hanging out in the rec room downstairs.”
    Elliot nodded and gave Valerie, head production assistant, a nervous smile. His stomach fluttered violently at the thought of cameramen lingering around the corner ready to capture the awkwardness. He still couldn’t believe thousands of people were going to be watching him every week. It was better not to think about it. It helped to have the others there. Especially Danny. Elliot would’ve never even attempted it on his own. He had no idea what Sasha had seen in him. He really wasn’t cool. He had to try pretty hard just to not be a big dork all the time.
    “We have two rooms reserved for you guys,” Valerie said. “This one is the bigger of the two. There are three single beds in here. The entrance to the small room is that last door over there. That one has two beds. They’re connected by a bathroom, which the five of you will be sharing. Cool?”
    All of them nodded. How could any of it not be cool? Except him. He’d have to work on that.
    Elliot trailed after Reece and Tate and set his duffel and backpack in the corner. Danny gave his arm a reassuring squeeze when he set his belongings down on the floor beside Elliot’s. Elliot smiled at him and went back out into the hall, trying to pretend like every inch of his skin hadn’t freaked out and gone all shivery when Danny touched him. It was getting harder to hide it, but he knew he had to. No way did he want all the guys to know about his crush, especially when it could never go anywhere.
    Danny had a girlfriend, after all. A girlfriend .
    He’d told the group during their first rehearsal after signing their contracts, laughing over the way his girlfriend had reacted to hearing he’d just signed a record deal to be part of a boy band. Elliot had pretended to smile and laugh along with everyone else, even though he felt like he’d been punched in the gut. Luckily, none of the guys seemed to notice. And he’d gotten used to the idea. Sort of. Still hated it.
    “Let’s head to the rec room,” Valerie said once they were all out in the hall.
    They obediently trailed behind her, back down the stairs and to a door which led to yet another set of stairs. Once they reached the bottom of those, they were
