The sun hit Eddie's skin immediately making him feel safe for the first time in a long time. Eddie knew that he would like it here, he knew that he would be safe here. Eddie didn't have a great past, he would never forget what happened, not completely but this camp would help.
"So, this is home... at least for the next 12 weeks." Richie said motioning to the mountains, the deep, blue lake, the mint and white cabins, the gardens and the hundreds of winding trails going everywhere.
"Looks cool." Eddie said grabbing his single backpack while Richie took all of his (three) suitcases out of the bus compartment. Together they walked down to their assigned cabin, Econ, they opened the door into a cream colored hall leading to several rooms with several bunk beds. Eddie followed Richie into what looked like a living room with several large glass windows and took a seat on the floor putting their luggage beside them
"Alright Asshats! get in here now or else you sleep outside for the summer!" Yelled a voice from the front of the room, looking over there Eddie saw a tall guy, he had a stern face that looked like he had been doing this for a while. His long brown hair was put up into a messy bun on the top of his head, his green eyes seemed to stair right through Eddie's soul. He wore heavy brown combat boots and a plaid shirt. "I said now you little shits!" He yelled again and Eddie instantly liked him "Whats your name kid?" He said motioning to where they sat.
"Richie! I thought you'd know this by now Mr. Martian!" Richie said cheerfully
"Not you four eyes, the new guy." Mr. Martian said clearly making Richie uncomfortable
"Eddie." Eddie said
"Just Eddie?" Asked Mr. Martian
"Just Eddie." Eddie said pulling down the beanie he wore so it covered most of his forehead only leaving some of his dark brown curls sticking out.
"Am I gonna like you Just Eddie?" Mr. Martian said squatting down to look Eddie in the eyes
"Say yes!" Richie said into Eddie's ear happily
"Yes Mr. Martian." Eddie said "I sure hope so."
"Good. Because there are enough little assholes here for me to hate, I sure hope you're not one of them." Mr. Martian said walking away to make his announcement.
"Alright you shits, listen up because if you don't your stay here will be hell." He said, his booming voice carrying across the room "Find yourself a bunkmate. 5...4...3..." Eddie and Richie immediately looked at each other and scooted closer.
"2...1. Now you'll need to find yourself a room fast, when I say go because I haven't cleaned the ones with vomit because of the smell and some have rats in em' so you might want to go-" and they were off running before he could finish. Richie ran all the way to the back of their cabin and skidded into the last room on the left, room 14 and claimed the bunk closest to the window. A few minutes later Eddie came walking in with both their luggage, they had planned this out on the buss: Richie would run and get them a good room while Eddie would bring up the luggage.
"Is he really allowed to talk to us like that?" Eddie asked putting the bags down on the floor.
"no, but if he mound out that we told someone he'd kill us. Everyone here knows that, and now you do to." Richie said "Now you remember that boyo." he said this in one of his voices
"I will, he's lowkey awesome." Eddie said smiling and putting his sleeping bag on the bottom bunk
"Careful Eddie, you might end up liking it here." said Richie smirking
