The Camp Counselor {Completed}[Editing]| Wattys2016

Chapter 6

"It's a boy scout camp? Should I go?" I inquired the optimistic counselor. I admit I was afraid. How couldn't I be?  My mother was gone and this was my only escape from Carl who had earned the title Captain Douchebag.

"No.  I have you on my roster right here. Houdini aka Harmony. You are a lucky one. First girl counselor in forever. We will be happy to have you." He smiled and gestured to the gate. " How about I show you around and introduce you to the other counselors. When we're done you can come back out here and help people get through to their cabins." He smiled a huge smile going nearly from ear to ear.

"That sounds fun. Just tell me where to put my stuff." I mentioned quietly picking up my bags.

After I set my bags in the counselor rooms we walked to the dining hall. "What is your name? Before I go meet a bunch of new people." I poked his arm.

" Haha. I guess I forgot 'bout myself." He belly laughed while he kicked a rock out of the way. " Im Harley." He smiled. I smiled back at how positive he was. So far he had been in the greatest mood and it was really bringing my spirits up. 

"Are you ready Houdini?" Harley said tilting his head, while of course smiling. I nodded and smiled back.
"Yup." I said popping the p. He pushed open the door and walked in. When he was inside he held open the door for me. "Thank you." I laughed walking through the doorway. The room was filled with scattered circular tables. These tables were surrounded by blue chairs like the ones you had in grade school.

"Harley!" A voice said pulling me from my memories of grade school. When kids were not as brutal. I turned around to see a very tall hispanic man. The man wiped his hands on his clothes and then hugged Harley. " Who's this pretty young lady?" The man said finally noticing my existence.

"Cook, This is Houdini. Houdini, this is cook." I held out my hand and smiled. When he shook my hand his hand was sweaty.
"I assume you cook for the camp then?" I asked observing his name.
" Yes. All of the little rug rats. I love them every year." He smiled to himself.
" HEY HARLEY YOU IN HERE?"  A group of teenage boys entered through the same entrance we came in earlier.
" I am right here guys, come over here." He gestured to them. When they got over to us Harley took a deep breath. "Guys. I am pleased to announce that this year we have our first Female counselor!" The teenage guys applauded. " Meet Houdini." He smiled and gestured to me. I realized there were only three guys standing in front of me other than cook and Harley.  "Houdini, the one directly in front of you is Cosmo. The one to his left is Beefy." Harley stopped. I looked to Cosmo's right and saw a shy guy who was my age.

" Im Mad Hatter." He said looking up from the ground into my eyes.
