Walking behind everyone gave me some time to observe the guys that I'm going to be around with for a very long time. It felt weird at how fast this process was happening. It was so sudden as I latched onto the feeling I still felt about being outed to then coming here. It was overwhelming but in the best way possible. Is that a thing?
I looked around and hoped no one thought I was checking the other guys out like a thirsty troll. I just wanna see the people I'm spending my next 3 months with and a lot of them just so happen to be insanely attractive.
"Okay guys, before I show all of you your cabins, I just wanted to take some time for us to get to know each other." Loud sighs and groans were immediately let out as she quickly spoke again. "I know it might be overwhelming but I'm noticing a lot of new faces in the crowd, so to feel a bit more comfortable and get in the camping spirit, we might as well introduce ourselves right?" She smiled, gesturing all of us to sit near some wooden benches.
I haven't counted the amount of guys here but I know there's a lot. Knowing they're all very attractive and might judge the way I look and my way of introducing myself doesn't help either.
"Okay so we'll go around in a circle. You'll say your name, your favorite hobby, and then your spirit animal!" Ms. Leigh threw all of us a wide smile as I sat by myself, losing Jesse and Trevor in the crowd. "Most of you guys have done this before so it shouldn't be difficult. We'll start with Benny." She ended, waiting for everyone to sit down.
Everyone finally got seated and looked at the kid who was named Benny. "Um, my full name is Benny Bobby Brown, I like listening to the holy music trinity, and my spirit animal is a cockroach." He shrugged, fixing his white weirdly shaped glasses as he made a lot of people laugh.
Ms. Leigh threw him a curious smile. "Last year was Beyoncé, who's the holy music trinity?" She asked politely.
Benny sighed. "Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé, duh." He casually shook his neck as if everyone already knows.
"Oh." She slowly nodded her head, the next person beginning to talk.
"My name is Logan." The next guy introduced, his blue eyes and his silver colored hair capturing all of my attention. "I'm in a band and just to make it cringier my spirit animal would probably be a wolf because why not." He spoke casually, his voice was deep and sounded assertive.
The circle went on and on.
"I'm Trevor, I like to swim and my spirit animal is a dolphin."
And on.
"The name's Jesse Rezeti. I like cars and I don't have a spirit animal."
