The Six Campers and The Soldier: A Camp Cretaceous Story (OC fanfiction)

Camp Cretaceous Part 2: Welcome to Camp

The ride couldn't be more uncomfortable. First, the roads are bumping, I know for a fact that the builders and pavers at Jurassic World try to make all access roads as comfortable as possible but I guess not everything gets done right I suppose. Second was the fuckin' child sitting across from me, Kenji has stuck his tongue out 3 times when he believed I wasn't watching, the idiot forgot just how much awareness training I went through following the debacle with Allison. Let me tell ya, that girl can hold a grudge.

'Skits' or Ben, as was his name, had said something about a note that his mum had sent about him and windy roads. Tough shit for you buddy...a lot of the maintenance or staff access roads are windy, with twists and turns as they come around the mountains and through the valleys. The only straight-ish roads lead from the west dock to the supply garage close to Main Street.

"What's up, Brooklanders?" 'Pinkie', now known to me as Brooklynn, was annoying me far quicker than I originally thought. Apparently, she is a famous YouTube vlogger...I groaned under my breath when I was told that. Training with ACU not only means working with containing escaped dinosaurs, but also making sure that people understand that these are some of the most dangerous animals that you'll ever see. Herbivore, carnivore...doesn't matter, if they can kill you...fuck around and they will. YouTubers however, don't seem to understand the concept of 'distance means safety'...if I had a nickel whenever I've seen Hamada crack open a beer when he was done dealing with a YouTuber, I would probably be able to buy the entire island.

YouTubers are tedious at best and throttle-at-the-neck, at worst...and I was stuck with this one. At the moment, she was doing a classic video intro that made me regret leaving my taser in my bag...well beggars can't be choosers but if she comes near me with that pink abomination, I am going to snap it in half. As 'Pinkie' turns to us for an introduction, the girl in the floral shirt pushes her way into the frame. 'Bubbles' or Sammy was your typical fangirl slash chatty one of the group. She says that she is a Brooklander (ridiculous name for 'Pinkie's' followers) and that she and 27 million others are proud of that fact. 'Runner', Yasmina as I know now, who I found I tolerate the most so far, had sarcastically stated why Brooklynn was the only one allowed to have her phone, she's famous.

Quickly, someone get out the red carpet, we have a celebrity on the island.....like it doesn't happen every other day. I grin at my silent joke when I turn and hear someone hurl over the side of the truck, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it was 'Skits'. A germophobe, a vlogger, a social butterfly, dickhead Kenji, and a dino nerd...oh, and 'Run-...Yasmina. Apart from her, these people are going to drive me insane. The dino nerd 'Shortie', who said his name was Darius, was an awkward kid with a real fond of dinosaurs, so fond it's all he talked about, I don't blame him for that but can get annoying fast. Kenji, I don't need to explain....he's an asshole, 'nough said. 'Bubbles' was very outgoing and social and just put me off...too uncomfortable. And 'Skits'..........'Pinkie' was very tedious to be around, just wouldn't get off or even look away from her phone.

But Yasmina....damn....was she tricky.
I usually have a good judge of character but getting a read on this girl is frustrating. Mostly she kept to herself but when she did speak, it was laced in a sarcastic drawl. I got the sense that she was very private and didn't like interacting with people which I understood very well. But...goddamn, despite my awkwardness around people, especially with girls...I can admit that Yasmina was very beautiful. I think I must have glanced her way at least 6 times, it's gotten to the point that I've disturbed myself.

SCREEEEECH

"WHAT THE FUCK?" The car comes to a screeching halt on the road, everyone is thrown about and I, being the dunderhead that I am, hadn't put my seatbelt on. "Language Ryan". Roxie admonishes me as she and Dave exit the truck with stun rods. As Roxie tells us to stay down and be as quiet as possible, I sit up with a groan. "You alright"? Yasmina asks me. "Yeah, I'm alright, thanks". I reply as I sit up and I rub the back of my head.
"You look like you hit your head pretty hard". I think she thinks that I'm now dumb or something. "I had worse, I'll be alright." I say which cuts the short conversation. "Shush. There is something in the bushes". 'Shortie' whispers to me as I begin to notice the silence beside 'Skits' whimpering. Narrowing my eyes, I turn towards him as I lean my body over him, his eyes wide and fearful as he gazes up at me.
