Chapter 1 - Accidents Happen.

July 15, 2018.

At Camp Serenade, there are campers running around, yelling, chasing each other, and stressed counselors yelling at kids. We see a group of kids standing by the mess hall, a few boys and a few girls. One boy speaks up, "The counselors won't leave me alone, I can't do anything." A girl nudges him, "Well Darren, maybe that's because you continue to run off the property again and again?" Darren rolls his eyes, "You're so annoying, Faith." Faith stick her tongue out, Darren does it back. A blonde girl looks over at a kid specifically, it's a boy. "That kid is so weird, he just stares at everyone. It's creepy." A boy chuckles, "Staring at you, Kora?" Kora nods, "Yes, Kyle. I'm pretty, but he doesn't need to stare." Another boy and girl walk over, Zoe and Harlon. Harlon asks, "What's happening?" Tegan replies, "We're bored, and Kora was telling us about a weird kid." Zoe looks at the boy, "Him?" Jill asks, "What's his name even?" Camille responds, "I think it's Mark, or something." Jere shrugs, "He might just not know how to make friends, maybe it's not his fault." Harlon grins. Darren asks, "What'd you just think of?" Harlon replies, "What if...we just pull a small prank on him?" Faith hesitates, "I don't know, wouldn't we get into trouble?" Darren chuckles, "Awe, are you scared?" Faith shoves him away, "Don't talk to me." Kora shrugs, "I wouldn't be opposed to that." Tegan chimes in, "And summer's almost over, it would entertain me." Camille asks, "Guys, doesn't that seem too far?" Tegan responds, "We're not gonna hurt him, just tease him a little." Jere asks, "What's "teasing" to you guys?" Harlon responds, "Hm...theres the archery section?" Zoe replies, "We're not about to shoot him with an arrow, Harlon!" Harlon responds, "Hey, I never said that!" Kora replies, "We should just pretend like we are, only to scare him." Camille asks, "So he won't get hurt?" Kora shakes her head, "No, unless he starts trying to get physical." Jere asks, "How would we even get him to the archery field?" Harlon thinks, "...Hey, Tegan. C'mere." Harlon walks off by a cabin, Tegan follows behind him. Harlon mutters, "Alright, so we both should go over to him and maybe like, try to ask him if he just wants to go shoot some arrows." Tegan responds, "But we've never said a word to him, wouldn't he be suspicious?" Harlon replies, "He's definitely wanting to make friends, there's no way he would turn it down." Tegan thinks for a moment, then makes up his mind. "Let's do it, but we can't let any of the counselors see." Harlon brushes it off, "Don't worry, we'll get someone to distract them all." Tegan asks, "Who's a good distraction?" Harlon thinks, "Faith is pretty distracting, get her to." Tegan nods. The boys walk back to the group, Harlon asks Faith, "Faith, you wanna go uh..distract the counselors?" Faith makes a face, "How am I supposed to do that?" Kyle responds, "It can't be that hard, just say someone fell down one of the trails or something." Faith sighs, "You guys are so lucky I'm nice." Faith skips off towards the counselors, she taps one of them on the shoulder. They turn around, Faith begins, "Um, one of the boys fell down one of the trails when we were walking. He's hurt bad!" All the counselors all follow Faith as she rushes off on one of the trails, keeping them away from the rest of the group. Camille groans, "Ugh, are we sure about this?" Jill responds, "It's just a small prank, it'll be fine." Zoe asks, "What are you gonna ask him?" Tegan responds, "We're gonna ask him if he wants to do archery with us, then we're gonna grab him and hold him in front of one of the targets. Someone grab the bow and arrow, just hold it like you're about to let it go off. Obviously don't actually, then just wait till he's really freaked out and drop it." Jeremiah rubs the back of his neck nervously, "We're sure the counselors won't see?" Darren responds, "They're with Faith, Jere. Don't be a baby." Jeremiah rolls his eyes, "I'm not a baby." Harlon nudges Tegan, "C'mon, let's go." Tegan and Harlon both walk towards Mark, he's sitting alone at a bench. Tegan clears his throat, "Mark." Mark looks up at the two, "..Yes?" Harlon asks, "Would you wanna go shoot some arrows in the archery field with us?" Mark asks, "Why are you guys asking me? I don't even really know you guys." Tegan shrugs, "We're feeling nice, and you look like a cool guy to be friends with. Is that so bad?" Mark hesitates, Harlon insists, "Come on, it will be fun." Mark gives in, "Okay, yeah. That does sound pretty fun." Tegan and Harlon smirk at each other. Tegan replies, "Cool, come on."
