You wake up an hour late the next day. You quickly scramble for your things and  get in the shower, after you get out you dress in the clothes you had set out the day before and apply the makeup that you can before being too late. You tie your hair up and grab your suitcase, hoodie, and your shoes running out the door.
'i wish this place was big enough for busses'

You put them on in the Taxi you had called but a moment before. Before the Taxi pulls out you are surprised to see your dad run up leaning in the doorframe, still in his pajama pants clearly being half asleep just to yell "I love you!!" you smile at this having no time to reply before it drives off. You manage to get to the airport just intime- kind of,  and multiple ways to ride to Costa Rica from there were Exhausting.you are almost late and barely make the flight,  you're out of breath by the time you are seated on the plane.

You fall asleep within an hour of the flight having not eaten anything before you left, without eating much you get tired, fatigued quite easy, but school has taught you to power through it for the most part. You sleep for three hours and just wait out the last three impatiently. Never have you been more anxious and excited at the same time but it'll be worth it.

Once you arrive you look around and to your surprise there is someone waiting to drive you to the docks. When arriving at the docks a man greets you and takes your ticket then helps you onto the ferry, he tells you about all the places to be seated then goes back to controls, or
'maybe he is just supervision.'

You hold onto your suitcase tightly, checking through the windows on your way to the front deck to make sure you still look okay after the nap on the flight. You turn the corner to see- Everyone sitting? guess you just weren't expecting them to all stay out on the deck..or sit together
'guess we're All for putting ourselves into these awkward situations, Wow this is gonna get uncomfortable.'

You go and sit with the five other campers.
You are all a certain distance from each other and it's pretty quiet which is fine with you. You set your suitcase in your lap and just look out on the ocean which you rarely get to see despite you're surroundings, you are always busy or enjoying those rare moments having time to yourself or with friends.

About 10 minutes in the others start to break apart and go do other things wether its snack, look around inside or just see the ocean view from other places. You all look around the same age which is comforting but
'what else am i expecting from a summer camp'

Looking around you see a thin and honestly timid looking, light brown haired boy, he has a map in front of him that he seems to be studying which is pretty smart considering where you all are going so you decide to ask about it

"w-what are you up to?"

'oh great.'
You had to speak up since you're sitting a good distance apart which just ends up making you sound awkward

The boy seems to hear you just fine though and your embarrassment quickly fades when he is somehow startled just by the sound of your voice, he stares at you for a moment before replying "oh..uh looking over the evacuation plan." he quickly looks back down at the map after replying. All you can seem to do is nod in response
'i actually try and make conversation and the person I choose just happens to be the most skittish. Is his voice always that high?'

Eventually you set your suitcase beside you and get up to stretch your legs. You find a clock and see it's only been two hours.
'today I've done more traveling than I have in my entire life'
You aren't sure how to feel about that. There are still about four more hours so you end up on the other side of the ferry leaning against the railing where you remain before your attention is gathered by the sound of footsteps.
