The Fighting Circle

When we got to the dock, seven teams were before us. Ken introduced me to his friends. Mark was the shortest but taller than me, had glasses and black hair. Felix was blonde and was from Sweden. Cry had a poker face mask. And Sean was thin and had dirty blonde hair, he was clearly Irish.

"Okay, lets all go eat lunch. Then we'll go to the fighting circle." Toni explained. Some people cheered.

We all walked to the dinning hall, I sat with my cabin.

"WE ARE TABLE NUMBER ONE! TABLE NUMBER TWO, YELL NOW!" a table yelled so loudly, banning on the table. It was the Deer cabin. Lily looked at us.

"WE ARE TABLE NUMBER TWO! TABLE NUMBER THREE, YELL NOW!" Jess, Alesa, and Colleen yelled also hitting the table. I screamed pretty loud. What's going on?

12 tables screamed the chant. I still don't know what's going on.

After everyone stopped cheering, I asked Colleen. "What just happened?"

"If one table realizes that all the campers are sitting with there own cabin, then that table will start the Table Chant." She explained

"Why? It scared me half to death." I said

"It's just something we do. It doesn't happen very often." she said smiling. I nodded and went back to eating.

After eating, we all walked to a big opening dirt patch with a white circle in the middle. I never seen this part of camp.

"Okay, girls one this side, boys on the other! Tallest to smallest!" Emily yelled, not as loud as before. Should I be happy that I silenced the monster everyone was scared of?

I line up at the end, clearly I was the smallest. I saw the boys line up, the smallest one was stronger than me by a long shot. I might die if I go against any of the boys.

"Okay, the rules are simple: Whoever is standing wins." Ed said. Great...

"Alright, I know this sounds a bit unfair, but girls," Toni said turning to us, "you'll have to fight twice." Even better...

"Ok let's start. Josh, choose a boy." Ed said pointing to Josh.

He turned to the boys and pointed to an Asian with black hair. "Ryan." Josh said and the teen he picked walk to the circle.

"Okay Emily, choose a girl." Ed said to Emily. Please don't pick me, I might actually die. But she might want that.

"Lily." She said. Lily didn't look scared nor surprised.

"When we ring the bell, you fight." Ed said ready to hit a mini gong. Where did he get that? "Get ready. Get set. Go!" Ed said and hit the gong.

Lily charged at Ryan as fast as she could and jumped on him at the last second. I don't know what happened after that but she was standing victorious, and he was on the ground, crying.

"Lily wins!" Ed screamed. He's still crying.

"Lily, pick him up and carry him to the nurse." Emily said.

Lily nodded and ran to him. She whispered something to him and picked him up bridal style like he weighted nothing. "Alright Sweet-heart, time for our honeymoon." She said, everyone laughed as he blushed.

"Okay Josh, choose another boy." Ed said when they left.

Josh looked at all the boys. "Jin, I choose you." Josh said pointing at the third tallest guy. He was also Asian, but his hair was a bit longer than Ryan's.

"Your turn Emily." Ed said.

Emily looked at all of us. She looked a me twice and shook her head. as she actually planning to put me in the circle with him? Two of me stacked on top of each other still wouldn't be as tall and buff as him.
