cindy and i were waiting by the camp nightwing sign for the campers to arrive, some other counselors were by us as well. i took the piece of paper from cindy that was sitting in our cabin. it read 'please choose your bunk and make all the beds. campers were told to bring their sleeping bags as well. for cabin 7 you will have 8-9-year-old girls. the campers will have to participate in the group fire at night.' i turned to cindy who was leaning against the side of the camp sign.

"why are you doing camp counseling?" i asked trying to make conversation.

"i need the money to save up for college, why are you?"

"oh, my mom's making me do it but at least i get paid" i answered giving her the paper.

"yea, my sister is a camper but she's 15 so next year she will be a counselor. she is also trouble, kurt hates her bc of the things she did last year" cindy said folding the paper and putting it in her pocket.

"she must be a badass then" i chuckled.

"but at the rate she's going, i hope she doesn't get kicked out of camp because then i do, and then how am i supposed to pay for college." cindy was clearly overwhelmed with this thought.

i put my hand on her shoulder "cindy chill you and your little polo shirts will be fine okay, i'll make sure kurt stays out of the way of your sister"

"thanks, y/n-" we heard a honk of a bus. i turned to see the bus coming down the street. kurt came over to us.

"you guys need to go on the right side, so the sunnyvalers and shadysiders know which side is which" kurt putting his hand on my back and gliding me over to the right along with cindy following. i flipped him off.

"god i hate him," cindy said turning to me.

"i know right" i said agreeing.

kurt was asking kids their age and sending them to the groups that they were supposed to be with. one kid with blond hair came over.

"hey, i'm cindy and this is y/n. what's your name?" cindy said with a smile. her smile made me smile but then i caught a glimpse of alice staring at me and i stopped.

"i'm aubrey" the girl answered. aubrey seemed pretty sweet i don't think i'll have to worry about her. i glanced over at the bus and i saw an older brunette push a redhead out of the bus.

"cindy did u see that?" i nudged her shoulder.

"no, what was it" she responded.

"nevermind," i said.

she scoffed and i ignored it as another kid came up to us. "hello" it was a small redhead with glasses that were duck taped in the middle. i instantly felt bad but it was cute.

"hey i'm y/n," i said giving her a small wave. "oh and this is cindy"

"nice to meet you guys-" a hiccup cut her off. i giggled.

"nice to meet you too, this is gonna be a fun summer," cindy said with a smile on her face. 2 other girls walked over to us and they were twins. one was named elizabeth and the other was ashlynn. they both had black hair and were laughing as they approach us. behind them was a short brunette who seemed kind of shy. her name was courtney, we said hi and introduced ourselves.

we starting walking to our cabin so the girls could unpack their things. when we got in we showed everyone the inside of the cabin and they got settled in.

kurt had told us earlier this morning that we were in charge of science and nature today and that the kids could go wherever they wanted just as long as they stay safe and there is a counselor near.
