Camp Solar

Chapter 1

      Ah.. Term Break, a wonderful time for students... that aren't trouble makers. Troubled teens are dragged to a camp where parents drop off their troublesome kids to "learn discipline".

Hi, I'm Finn, a 15 year old boy, and I've been thrown here by my parents. All I did was bully a few people... maybe half the school... but why do I have to be here? The bus just arrived at the place, it's in the middle of nowhere, there's trees everywhere and some cabins and halls scattered around. It's a relatively sunny day as people chatter around. I step out of the bus onto the rocky pathway with some other kids, there are five cabins that students get randomly distributed to, Cabin1, rocket; Cabin2, planet; Cabin3, orbit; Cabin4, star and the final Cabin, Cabin5 aka cabin stellar, the one I've been assigned to. "I already hate it here" I mutter to myself, why do I have to come to this stupid camp instead of staying home? My thoughts were interrupted by a man, presumably the cabin supervisor seeing that he looks... stressed and stern... he's yelling at us to get to our groups, "Hey! Children! Stop everything and get to your cabin groups!". I walked to the spot which had a sign with "cabin stellar (5)" written on it. There were already kids there talking around, I figured maybe I should socialize... After all, I won't be staying here for a month alone... hopefully.

"Hi", my words sounded so stupid as the other teens turned around, they look annoyed, I instinctively back away a little as a guy walks up to me and spoke up,

"Is this your first time here?"

I already don't like this guy, he looks so punch-ab- okay I'll control myself for now since he looks like he might beat me up,

"Yeah, nice to meet you-"

"Damn.. you're scrawny.."

Oh this bitch- I was trying to be nice, he wasn't done though,

"I bet you'd get your ass handed to you in a fight if you ever got in one", he continued with a degrading smirk. He's making me lose my temper- I mean... he isn't wrong, I look like I'd snap into pieces, but I'm stronger than you think.

"Fight me then.", I declared.

I didn't think that through... oh well, it's already on so why not finish it.

"You really want to fight me?", he laughed, who even is this guy? And why is everyone looking at us... I hear some people whispering, "bet 10$ Tyler will win", "is this newbie really challenging Tyler out of all people"- wait, wait... this guy is feared?

"Bring it on..." I murmured, it came out more hesitant than I thought but as long as I catch this guy off guard it'll be fine. I threw a punch which I didn't use that much power on to his face and it unexpectedly hit him- man, this guy kinda sucks. As he was about to attack me some guy pushed us two apart, I turned around to see who it was, it was the supervisor. Without hesitation or thinking I shouted the words, "He started it!" Tyler, as I heard his name may be, shouted back, "No I didn't-!" But he soon got cut off by the supervisor, the supervisor doesn't seem to like this guy so much so he let me speak first. This took a turn for me and I like it.

"He picked on me-!" The supervisor, seemingly not surprised, turned to Tyler with a disappointed but unfazed expression,

"Did you already pick on the new kid?" Tyler turned to him, frustrated, "I- Uh- ugh- fine! I did!" The supervisor turned to me and grabbed me by my shoulder as he told Tyler to go get some ice, then he turned his attention to me, "You okay, kid? I'm sorry for him, he's a big jerk." This guy is actually nicer than I thought,

"Yeah.. I'm fine, thank you, mister."

"Ah, no need to call me that, it makes me feel old, call me Mason"

"Oh okay, Mason." I silently repeated that name in my head a few times to get used to it, hoping I can remember it. I was never good with names except for the ones where I have something with, I'm remembering Tyler now. Mason stood up straight and left to talk to Tyler, right when Mason wasn't looking, I flipped Tyler off, I don't like that guy. He sneered back at me and looked away. Just as I was going to mind my own business I heard some girl call out to me "You're gonna regret that, he's gonna get you back". I rolled my eyes, "One kid can't possibly make my month here hell, besides, I can take him." I turned around to face her, the girl had dirty blonde hair with sharp hazel-brown eyes, she said a stoic expression and her head was slightly tilted as she spoke, "Oh, you obviously haven't met Tyler... you're not good at first impressions are you?" Why is everyone here so annoying? I walked over to her and muttered,

"Woman, who are you?"

"And how is that any of your business?", she asked whilst crossing her arms. "Oh my god everyone's annoying here." I spoke my mind as usual, probably not the best habit but they just have to deal with it. "The feeling's mutual," irritation was clear in her voice as she continued, "and if you must know, I'm Zoey... and you are-?". Oh shit she's asking me, "Finn, you're a problematic teen? You look normal to me." Zoey chuckled, "Looks can be deceiving," she said with a shrug of her shoulders "but I caused some shit, why do you think I'm here?" She made a point, "Fair enough".

"And you, why are you here?" She asked,

"I was a big bully I guess..." I mumbled.

"Damn. You? You don't look like one." She smirked while saying that again... Why does everyone here underestimate me? "Oh well... like you said, looks can be deceiving" I chuckled afterwards. She shrugged and rolled her eyes as she replied, "Fair enough... that isn't going to change the fact that you punched Tyler, he's going to make your life here living hell." Judging from all the other people's faces when I hit Tyler, I can't help but feel slightly intimidated, they genuinely looked scared of the guy. I'm keeping my composure though, I don't want anyone thinking I'm a pussy, "Let's see about that then..." I should really change the topic... "so, what cabin are you in?" I tried to make it sound as casual as I could, I sound like a creep honestly... Zoey glared at me suspiciously for a while then finally responded, "Stellar, like you, I presume?" I nodded, I guess we'll be seeing each other often. It won't hurt for me to keep things okay with one kid, right? So I held out my hand as a sign of friendship, "I guess let's keep things good between us?"
