Cancer's POV

It's been an entire week at camp. My mom and I made a promise that I would write to her every week. She already set up a plan with Hydra to make sure I was able to send letters. I sat on my bunk and began to write...

Dear Mom,

The first week at camp was somewhat easy. I could say I've made friends, but everyone here can be considered friends. One kid is kind of an outcast though. He's nit picky, but I think he's like that. Everyone here has been nice to me, but think that I'm mute or something...

I heard the cabin door open, so I looked up to see Scorpio.

"Hey dweeb," he greeted.

"Hey bed-wetter."

"I was four! You can't still hold me accountable for that! And I drank too much soda before I went to bed."

"Whatever. What are you getting anyway?"

"I wanted to show someone my guitar skills."

"Taurus?"

"Yea... can't find my guitar though, because Aries leaves his crap everywhere."

"You and her are getting pretty close."

"Who? Aries?"

"No, Taurus."

"Well, we like the same bands and stuff."

"Whatever."

"You found a friend yet?"

"Not like a close one."

"You'll probably find one."

"Yea."

"You should come down to the dock. Everyone's hanging out there."

"I have to finish this first."

"What is that?"

"Mom wants me to write a letter to her every week."

"Sounds like Aunt Carina."

"You want me to write something for you?"

"I didn't kill everyone here yet."

"Yet?"

"My herbal essence pens help me. When I run out, I may snap."

"I'll tell her to send you some."

"Mkay." He finally found his guitar and then left the cabin.

....So far, I enjoy it here. I've done new things like canoeing, tie-dye, and campfires. I want to try archery, but I'm not sure if I can do it. Speaking of which, I'm trying to be more confident in myself. I do the exercises Dr. Miles recommended. I look in the mirror and say one thing I like about myself everyday.

Scorpio said that he's alright and that he didn't kill everyone yet. He said if he ran out of the vape pens Aunt Gliese gave him, he would snap. I think he found a really good friend. Well, two friends. The guy friend kinda forced his way onto Scorp, but they seem great with each other. The female friend ( I'm not saying girl friend, because you assume things) is really patient with him and he's the same with her. They like the same music and play similar instruments. She plays the ukulele. I just think that she really understands him and he needs more people like that around him.
