Accident

David woke up this morning with a pit in his stomach. It ached and ached, but he ignored it. He put on his happy charade and got ready for the day. He fixed up his clothes, he styled his hair, he took his medication, and he pulled on his shoes.

"Today is gonna be a great day!" He lied to himself. He knew today was different, that something would happen and cause his day to go down the toilet. But maybe if he kept lying to himself, it might not come true. So he did.

At breakfast everything was chaotic. A food fight had erupted, no doubt Max had something to do with this. He calmed everyone down through a miracle. Today is gonna be great! He lied to himself again. As though this wasn't a sign that his day was falling apart.

Arts and Crafts was the next disaster. Campers were glued to the wall and each other, some were bleeding from cuts that had mysteriously appeared. Again, Max probably had something to do with this as well. David bandaged the injured and unstuck everyone from the things they were glued to. He helped the campers finish their crafts before the next activity. Today is gonna be a great day! He kept telling himself.

David took them to other activities, each ending in the same thing. Disaster. He kept telling himself that everything is fine. That today was gonna be a great day. But it looked like lying wasn't helping anything. There was just a few more activities to get through, then it would be a great day. So he took them out on the next activity, hoping this one would be more calm.

David took the campers out for hike, just like they did every Tuesday. It was a peaceful day, or as peaceful as it could be with a bunch of kids shouting and running about. Max, Nikki, and Neil were up to their usual shenanigans; trying to escape or break David's happy persona. Though there was something off about this particular day. Or rather, someone.

David had seemed a bit off since this morning. It wasn't by much, but Max could tell. David was worried about something. But what could possibly make this overly happy idiot worried? Max pondered on the question, but there wasn't a single thing he could come up with. Maybe he was just misreading David. Maybe nothing was worrying this idiot after all. At least, that's what he kept telling himself.

David kept to himself, it was one of his shortcomings. He didn't like to show others that he wasn't always this happy go lucky guy. He liked to be positive, it was something he was good at. But there was something that was worrying him today. Something he couldn't shake off. Or rather, Someone.

Today would be the day that Daniel returned to work since the expired kool-aid accident had taken place. David was naive, yes. But he knew something was off about Daniel. How did he get all of the campers to like him in such a short amount of time? How come David couldn't do that, even though he'd been with them for weeks? What was David lacking that Daniel had?

David thought he was a good counselor, but maybe he wasn't. Maybe he shouldn't even be a counselor. Maybe he should quit.

As David thought this, there came a rustling from the bushes next to him. He didn't notice, he was too absorbed in his thoughts. The campers watched in fear as the rustling got louder. What was David doing? Why wasn't he moving away?

Just as they thought they were doomed to be eaten by wild animals, a person jumped from the bushes.

"Well, there you all are! I've been looking for you all!" The figure yelled in a cheerful voice.

David snapped from his thoughts at the sudden voice booming next to him. On reflex, he sucker punched the source of the voice. What he didn't realize, was that he had punched Daniel.
