Tug of War

After we ate, we were to do whatever we wanted until they blew the trumpet. The whole time I was sitting in our cabin, reading a Percy Jackson book. I really didn't want to go around the camp right now. I mean we just got here yesterday and we've already fought with the other campers. Plus, falling on your back to kick someone over you, will hurt you later.  As I was reading, I realized they lied. Ed said whoever was the first team back to the docks going to go last in the fighting circle? Well I wasn't the first one there. Maybe Daithi, but not me.

My thoughts were interrupted by the trumpet. I put my book down and walked to the fire pit. I sat with my cabin, as usual.

"Okay, let me explain how every week is going to go for the rest of the summer:" Ed said, getting on the stump. "Every Friday, we will do many activities such as the Fighting Circle. Saturday, we'll do team building exercises like the Barrel Roll." Ed said, smiling. Barrel Roll? "Sunday, we will relax and you guys can do whatever you want, like swimming. And on Mondays, we'll do fitness testing which is just exercises that will increase your speed and help you body." Ed said

"Or just make us look like idiots." Jess whispered, sarcastically into my ear. I giggled

"On Tuesdays, we'll have contests like the Singing Contest." Ed said. Oh dear God, we have to sing! "Wednesday is going  to be chore day. Thursday we'll be doing art exercises like Twister is Paintful." Ed said. Paintful? They based a game off a pun. "That's pretty much it. If it rains, then guess what, you'll be going your chores in the rain. We will not cancel what we are doing unless it's lighting." Ed explained.

"Also, every Friday wear what you are wearing right now." Toni said. Ed nodded. "And I think that's it." She said looking a Ed.

"Yeah, you can go to bed now." He said and everyone walked to their cabins.

The next morning was hot. In fact, it was so hot, I put on short, and I hate shorts more than anything in the world. I put my hair in a messy bun so it wouldn't get in my face while we're doing whatever the Barrel Roll is.

Jess, Alesa, Colleen, and me are going to walk to the dinning hall after Colleen finishes getting ready.

"Hey Alesa, do you get to pick the teams or are you working with your cabin?" I asked Alesa.

"A boy and a girl will be captain and they'll choose whoever they want." She explained

"Oh, well I just wanted to know because I can work with you guys." I said

"Oh it's usually really fun. Unless Evan and Mamrie are on the same team." She said, laughing a bit.

"What the story behind that?" I asked, remembering yesterday in the Fighting Circle. "I've met both of them and they're really nice. Why do they not like each other."

"Well, it all started when Evan and Mamrie were in 1st grade. Mamrie was the new kid and when the teacher introduced her, Evan peed his pants the moment he looked at her." Alesa explained. I laughed. "Then a year later, Mamrie was talking to her friends and pointed to something. Evan seen and at his angle, it looked like she was pointing at a boys butt." She continued. I kept laughing.

"Wow! That's amazing!" I said.

"I've been on a team with them before. It was the worst, they just kept fighting over the littlest and stupidest things. They basically acted like children." Jess added.

"Okay, lets go." Colleen said coming out of the bathroom.

We walked to the dinning hall and we sat with Grace and her cabin. After we ate, we had to go to the fire pit. We were some of the first people there, so we sat in the back because Alesa didn't want to get noticed by her secret senpai. Tyler's, Evan's, Ken's, Marcel's and Lui's cabin joined us. I met Dan and Phil, they were really nice and easy to talk to. Once everyone finished lunch, Ed told us to line up, shoulder to shoulder. I was next to Alesa and Evan.
