*David's POV:*

I run away from (y/n) and Gwen, worried that Max and the others aren't hurt. I round the corner of the mess hall to see that bus is in fact gone like the Quartmaster said. I run down the road to see the bus crashed into a tree...again. And I see the sheriffs pulling up in front of the bus as well. I run as fast as I can to the bus, and see a little trail of smoke coming out of the hood. I force open the bus door and scream,

"ARE YOU GUYS OKAY!?" I look to see Max sitting in the driver's seat, one hand on the wheel and and one on his head...looking dizzy. I see Neil picking himself off of the floor and Nikki pushing her face off of the gas pedal.

Max going back to his usual self starting cursing. "What the fuck, Neil!?"

"I'm sorry! I thought I saw a bear! It's not like it's the first time we would've seen one!" Neil exclaims, trying to defend himself.

"Hey guys! At least it was still fun for a bit! It's a good thing we didn't die though." Nikki tries to cheer them up as they gather in front of me.

"Seriously!? Again guys!? I thought you knew better!" I tell them off until Max cuts me off.

"Look, Davey. We don't want to be at this shitty camp. You can't blame us for trying by any means necessary." Max smirks, getting a rise out of me.

"Max. Camp Campbell is NOT sh-" I get cut off again but not by Max, but from someone behind me.

"David. You said this wouldn't happen again." I turn around to see the sheriff.

I don't even know how he knows the kids got ahold of the bus and got here in time but I don't have time to worry about that right now.

"SORRY! I'M REALLY SORRY! I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY GOT ON IT AGAIN!" I apologize profusely over and over again, tears starting to fill my eyes. I turn towards Max and Co. and try to make them apologize. "GUYS. SAY YOU'RE SORRY. PLEASE." I plead with them. I look at Max and give him my best version of puppy dog eyes.

*Max's POV:*

Gross. David was giving what he called his "puppy eyes" which I find fucking pathetic. They look nothing like the eyes of an adorable little puppy, who has so much energy and love for everyo-

I cut myself off before I start daydreaming about puppies...again. I sigh and realize it'll be bitch to deal getting in trouble right now so I'll play along for now.

I get my annoyingly sweet kid voice on and tell the sheriff, "I'm REAAAALY sorry, Mr. Sheriff. I just wanted to ride the bus again! I promise I won't do it again!" My face drops and so does my facade...hoping it works.

"Well just...don't do it again. And David...don't LET it happen again." The sheriff gives David a slip and hobbles away. David looks down at it with a sad face and I smirk to myself, proud I was able to bring down his disgustingly cheerful personality a little bit.

Me, Neil and Nikki walk down the steps of the bus and start heading back, talking about where we went wrong with our plan. David yells out for us but I pull Nikki and Neil with me so I don't have to deal with him anymore.

Nikki changes the conversation to something I wasn't expecting.

"Soooo...what's up with the new kid?" She asks me since I was the only to meet him so far.

"Seems like a pussy like the rest of everyone here." I tell them. I was gonna tell them about how he mocked David but it didn't seem important.

"What's his name, anyway?" Neil asked.

"I wasn't listening, and frankly I don't fucking care." I'll probably need to learn it if I ever need his help with something.

We head back to camp and to the outside activities area. I see Harrison and Nerris fighting yet again over their stupid fucking magic shit. I walk over to Gwen as Neil and Nikki go the sad excuse of a science camp. Gwen is pulling Space Kid from a hole in a tree I can assume Nurf stuffed him in.
