A/N: some dolph mention cuz he's underrated (for the right reasons..) he personally isn't one of my favorites, and this title took a few minutes to actually think of. But I got it down!! I'll try to upload daily, but I manage 2 Tiktok accounts, a YouTube channel, and now a Wattpad account, PLUS school. Please be patient if updates are slow, thank you!!
FYI: Nikki goes by She/he/they. Mixed pronouns will be used for them. (No she is not trans.)
TW: mention of hitler, mention of holocaust, no censoring.
(No censoring applies for every single chapter.)
(Prepare for words to be constantly repeated and misspelled to match dolph and his accent, or his thoughts)

(THIRD PERSON POV)
Today was a new day, and a new day meant a new activity for the campers. There was still remnants from the paintball fight from yesterday, and the clothes the campers wore were stained, but overall things were alright.
Now if you knew max, you knew he wasn't going to get his favorite hoodie dirty. So of course he wore the camp shirt yesterday. So he purposefully wouldn't have to wear it today. Though he "borrowed" a shirt from Neil and moved on with his day.
Max knew he was acting off. He knew he was rather quiet than his rather loud, crazy(?) self. But things changed. Life changed. He didn't like that. Though he was forced to adapt to that change.
The entirety of his home life changed. His parents finally got a divorce, which was good. But what the problem was he didn't know who he wanted to stay with. They didn't want split custody. They never wanted to see each other again.
Max didn't like either of his parents. They're drunk bastards. He doesn't get hit, he's smart enough to hide away in his room until morning. And him trying to avoid his parents changed him the most.
He grew quiet, yes, he still cussed David out...and then regret it 15 minutes later. That's what pissed him off the most.
But a child's feelings doesn't matter.
It never has.

Today was dolphs activity, and they were drawing/painting a moment in history. How could THAT go wrong?
That's what David thought before everything went downhill.
"This is stupid, who pays attention to history teachers?" Nikki sighed, drawing random lines on her paper.
"Maybe if you actually cared about your grades, you'd be done by now." Neil countered, writing the name at the top of his paper before pushing it aside.
"What do you think, max?" Nikki asked, turning her head to face him.
"It's boring. And Nikki, you don't need to go back to the 1700's, just do the corona virus, idiot." Max replied, doodling random shit on his paper.
"Hey...you're really smart!" Nikki smiled, grabbing one of max's crayons and scribbling a green blob onto their paper.
"That looks like a snot blob."
"Max, stop bringing up atrocious shit into conversations."
"Just saying the truth..."
Meanwhile with Harrison, Nerris, and Preston...
"A moment in history? EASY!! I shall draw the one and only, Beethoven!" Preston stated, dramatically posing before getting to work.
"This can raise my experience points by 25 if I do Napoleon, did you know he missed a guy?" Nerris inquired, carefully coloring in the lines she had sketched and outlined.
"Fools, none of those compare to the first ever magician!" Harrison bragged, outlining his sketch lines.

All was well, the campers were having fun, and the counselors got a chance to relax, drink some Diet Coke, and talk about life.
All was going well...that was until they had to actually showed their art.
"Alrighty, campers! Who wants to go first?"
"Oh, oh, ME!!" Nikki jumped off her seat and towards the front of the mess hall.
"Okay! Everybody pay attention!"
Once all eyes were on Nikki, she held up her art piece, a horribly drawn version of the corona virus.
"Oh, good job Nikki!"
This went on for about ten more minutes until it was dolphs turn.
"Ooookay, and our last one, Dolph!" David sat down on a chair nearby. Dolph grabbed his art piece and walked up to the front, struggling, but eventually holding up his art for everyone to see.
The campers and the counselors audibly gasped.
"FUCKING HITLER??" Max shouted, face palming.
"Dolph..I don't think that moment in history is very...appropriate." David explained.
"Fuck that!" Max got up, walking over to dolph and grabbing his art piece, tossing it out of the window.
"Max!"
"Aye! Me art peize!"
"Shut up, German boy!"
after that, nobody really sees dolph the same. But maybe he'll change completely when puberty hits.
...or re-create the holocaust.
A/N: sorry this took so long, I had writers block, academic comeback, and therapy!!! Anyway, hope u enjoyed!!!
