"Do you think they'll like us?" I ask my friend as we sit by one of the dining hall tables, waiting for the middle school buses, which are running late, to arrive. Everyone is supposed to meet here, and once all the students are with their proper groups, we're all going to go to our cabins, unpack, and go to the lake to take a swim test.
"Of course they will, we're going to be the best cabin counselors ever." Yeona grins with enthusiasm, "Are you excited?"
I glance past Yeona's shoulder to look at another wooden table identical to the one we're sitting in front of, where instead of us are seated Jisung and Minho. The former sees me looking his way and does a thumbs up with both his hands.
"Yes." I smile.
Just at that moment, I hear a loud commotion outside the dining hall, what sounds like a hundred teenagers shouting and running towards the building. My heart rate spikes up and my smile widens. We're finally going to meet them.
"Please enter the dining hall in an orderly fashion, and don't sit down yet!" One of the teachers demands in a loud voice, "I will call out the number of your cabin, and you will sit with your cabin counselors."
Once the entire crowd of excited thirteen-year olds have entered the dining hall, each of them clumped in separate groups, the teacher begins calling out numbers.
"Cabin number four, you are with Hyunsuk and Yoshi!" he says, after which the two boys rise, wave, and beckon for the group of young boys to join them.
"Cabin number two, you are with Yeona and Sooyun!"
Hearing our names, Yeona and I stand up and wave to the crowd of middle schoolers with no idea who we're supposed to be signaling to. That's when a group of five girls emerge from the crowd, and they make their way to our table with bright smiles on their faces while holding each other's hands. When we've all sat down, I get a chance to observe them properly. They all carry this youthful vibe to them, and they are already giggling in excitement.
"Hi guys!" Yeona says, "I'm Yeona."
"I'm Sooyun." I follow her prompt.
"What are all of your names?"
"Yunah." the first girl says.
"Minju!" another girl chirps.
"Moka."
"Wonhee!"
"Iroha!"
"I have a secret to tell you," I whisper, leaning in so that they can all hear. "We're going to be the best cabin."
All of the girls' faces light up, and I'm filled with warmth. Hit with nostalgia of the first overnight camp I went to with Yeona and some of our other friends, I silently vow that this is going to be the best camp ever.
"Who's ready?" Yeona asks.
"We are!"

It's been a few hours past our first reunion, and we find ourselves back in the dining hall, except this time there's actual food in front of us because it's dinner time.
"Do we all want seconds?" Yeona asks the table, already up from her seat, about to take the empty tray back.
"Yes please." Minju says.
While Yeona is going to get a second big plate of dinner, I strike up a conversation with the girls.
"What was your favorite part of today?"
