Everline Summer Camp

A/N: This is something that is a bit experimental. I have the first few chapters written out but if it isn't something that you guys seem to enjoy I can cut it short. Feedback would be really helpful here as I've only been to an art summer camp before.. Thank you!

"Now you be good boys... Dan's father will be here to pick you up at the end of the summer." A man well into his 40's said.

Phil nodded quickly and hugged his dad, stepping back to allow his best friend Dan Howell to do the same.

It wasn't an awkward thing for Dan to say goodbye to Phil's dad as the two had been practically inseparable ever since they'd met early in grade school. It was a strong friendship going on to almost ten years.

They told each other everything. Everything that was Dan's was also Phil's and vice versa. This isn't to say that they didn't have other friends aside from each other because they did, but after everything else they would always consider the other the 'best' friend.

This year would be the 3rd year of going to Everline Summer Camp. They'd made friends that were labeled 'camp friends' who also returned to the camp yearly. Dan, Phil, and the other members of their group had agreed last summer to arrange a shared cabin, so they did.

As soon as Phil's dad left, Phil's face lit up like a christmas tree and he began racing towards Cabin 12, the cabin they'd be staying in.

"Wait up Phil!" Dan cried out, trying to keep up with Phil's fast pace.

Phil laughed and slowed down upon arrival.

"Do you have the key?" He asked Dan.

Dan nodded, reaching in his pocket and revealing a shiny key with the wordsCabin Twelve engraved on it.

He opened the door and rushed inside. They were greeted by four other friendly faces. Abigail, Rose, Evan, and Johnny. Better known as, 'the camp friends'.

"Hey guys!" Phil exclaimed joyously.

"What's up Phil? How've you been?" Evan replied with just as much enthusiasm.

Unlike Phil, Dan was not here because of his love for the camp but his fear of not having his best friend around for the whole summer. He knew it was silly; he could probably just tell Phil and they'd stay home together, but Dan just couldn't risk Phil laughing at him or calling him a wuss.

Dan scanned the Cabin. There were three bunk beds, two of which were already claimed, leaving the one in the middle for him and Phil.

Dan walked over and set his bags on the bottom bunk listening to Phil socialize and catch up. Phil was always so good with that. Apparently Rose and Abigail had met up over winter break, Johnny had a girlfriend back at home, and Evan's parents recently got divorced.

Dan had shared that he'd gotten a puppy for Christmas while Phil had bragged about his three girlfriends during the school year.

Dan thought it was a ridiculous thing to share. First of all, they were girls not pokemon cards, secondly, they were all going out with anyone who'd asked anyway. He'd told Phil what he thought of them and Phil just brushed him off as being bitter because he was single.

Before any of the group had moved past the 'what did you do during the school year' conversation, it was already time for the first dinner.

Check in had ended and all campers that were present currently, would be present for the rest of the summer.

Everyone filed into the dining hall and sat at the tables that corresponded to their cabins. A chipper counselor stepped onto the stage wearing all khaki and began to tap on the microphone. She looked to be in her late 20's.
