I stepped off the boat. The blonde girl greeted us and told us her name was Dawn and that she'll be our camp counselor. She said that we'll have a great time.
No, we won't.
Apparently, our cabin was number 22.
She talked to us about some of the activities we would be participating in and the classes we would take if we stayed year-round.
Finally, the introductions came.
"Alright everyone, let's all sit in a circle and say our name, age, and some facts about ourselves," she said.
Brown hair went first.
"Um...hi. My name's Lilith, I'm 13. My parents are British but I was born in California. I have social anxiety, my favorite color is purple, My favorite singer is Taylor Swift. I have a dog.'
I went after her.
"I'm Mel, I'm also 13. I'm American. I'm from New York. My fav color is black, my fav singer is Melanie Martinez, I have a black cat. I like reading, I love pop and pop-rock music, and I have a sister in Uni named Samantha."
One of the twins went next.
"I'm Raven, this is my twin sister Luna. We're both 14"
Luna apparently thought that was enough information because she skipped her turn.
Dawn went.
"As you already know, my name's Dawn, I'm 14. I've been counseling at Camp Spirit for 2 years. I'm really lenient about most things but one of the rules the whole camp has to follow is that you can't go outside after curfew. There are a lot of wild animals around here, and at night you won't be able to see them. So, for your safety, you're not allowed out without a counselor after 10pm. In the winter, the curfew is 9pm."
That seemed reasonable.Or so I thought.
