Error 404: Shits not given

Rainy day drab

Y/N, May 13th
You and Max look at each other, then you ask him of he'd like to go back and play some more checkers. He just shrugs and says that he's probably going to hang out with Nikki and Neil. You smile and say alright, then tell him that you'll go and take a nap. He gets up and leaves, and a few seconds after you do as well.

You sigh as you walk out into the crisp air, the clouds above you look like they'd be beautiful to go paint. You decide that you might as well try, so you go to your tent and grab your art supplies. Once you've got them, you walk out to that clearing you followed Max to. You sit in the middle of it, with a good view of the trees, flowers, and the clouds. You get comfortable and begin to paint. A few hours later, you come up with a pretty okay painting. You decide to take it with you to your tent to dry, in case it starts to rain.

As you walk into the tent-site, you pass a little boy who looks eerily similar to Hitler. He notices your painting and looks up at you with wide eyes. "Oh! You like to paint too!" He exclaims in a cute little German accent. He puts out his hand, supposedly for you to shake it, and explains, "I'm Dolf! I love art!" You chuckle and shake it, then tell him that you'll set it in your tent to dry and show him later. Dolf smiles at you as you walk into your group's tent.

You place the painting in the corner of yours and Max's space, making sure it won't fall. You look at it and smile; it looks pretty nice sitting there. Once that's settled you look down at yourself. You've got paint all on your hands and on your jeans. You decide to go ahead and change into another pair of jeans -also black- and to go into the Mess Hall to wash your hands off.

As you walk to the Mess Hall, you see Max, Nikki, and Neil walking into the forest. Nikki seems excited, Max seems bored, and Neil just looks like he'd rather be alone, yet they all keep walking. You smile, thinking that they're good friends to go on adventures with Nikki even though they may not want to. You walk into the Mess Hall and notice that the Quarter master isn't in the kitchen. Better for you, you guess shrugging it off. You go up to the little sink in the back and wash your hands, watching the water turn a mixture of gray, green, and blue.

Once you finish and dry your hands off on your jeans, an old man's voice speaks up behind you. "What are ya doing in here, Missy?" He growls. You jump a little, not realizing he was there. You turn around and respond shakily, "Oh, I'm just.. I'm uh I'm just washing my hands" The Quarter master shrugs and says okay before walking off. You breathe a sigh of relief and walk out of the building.

Once your out, you notice that it has started to sprinkle. Kids begin to run around in the water, laughing and yelling. As you walk towards them and the tent-site, the sprinkle turns into an onslaught of rain. A storm has brewed, and David and Gwen are telling the kids to all get into their tents, since they should be sturdy enough to outlast this storm. You run into yours, barely noticing Max and the others behind you. As you walk into your portion, you realize that your soaking. You grab your book bag of stuff and pull out a towel to try and dry off with. Max stumbles in behind you, also soaking but he doesn't seem to have anything to dry off with. You grab out another towel and toss it at him. "What the shit- oh. Thanks Y/N" he says, suprised.

He starts to dry off as well, and he grabs another blue hood and pair of jeans from under his bed. As you watch him, you notice the stuffed bear on his bed and smile at it. It looks worn and old, but loved. You grab a black sweater and sweatpants from your backpack and then both of you kinda stare at each other for a second. You tell him that you'll switch with Neil and sit in Nikki's section to change, and he nods, so you do. Nikki smirks at you when you walk up to them, and asks you "What? Did you not want to change in front of your crush~" you blush and stutter out a no and then tell Neil to switch for a sec. He does, and you change in there with Nikki, glaring at her whenever you have to look at her.

She shrugs, then once you're done you tap on the fabric separating the two sections, telling the boys that you're done. (Nikki never changed, said she didn't need to) You know that the guys are done once Neil walks out, holding a pair of clothes and wearing the same thing he was wearing earlier but dry. You walk through and sit on your cot, then just set your stuff down on the floor. You look up towqrds the sky as you hear a clap of thunder, rain hitting the tent as hard as ever.

Max grins at you and tells you that he likes your painting. You smile at him, telling him thanks and that you don't think it's that great. He just says he likes it and tells you that he's going to sleep. You check your phone for the time and realize that it's only 8:14 PM. You shrug and decide to as well, laying down on your cot and drifting off.
