Our Summer

Cabin 14 Rules & Deals

"On the path to the left... Cabin 14." I muttered to myself, dodging a flying volleyball as I walked down the path.

"Hey, can you grab that?" I heard a voice call out. Assuming that they didn't mean me, I kept walking.

"Hey!" Another voice shouted at me. I turned around to see an upset blonde with a volleyball balanced on her hip.

"Yeah, what's up?" I questioned. She raised an eyebrow.

"We asked you to get the volleyball and you ignored us. That's not exactly polite." She stated accusingly. God, is she 7 or something?

"So? I've got other things to worry about, not your precious feelings." I shot back, walking away. I heard them call after me, but I just kept walking until I got to Cabin 14.

I felt small tremors shake all over my body as I climbed the steps to the screen door. I wonder what the others are like?

Shaking my head, I opened the door. There was two other guys there already. One had a Ranger outfit on, the other had the camp uniform on.

"Mr. Andrew?" The ranger asked. I nodded and he smiled warmly, "Nice to meet cha. I'm Daevd and that's Ted. You can have that there bed in that corner over there."

I set my stuff down and got changed into the camp uniform. Daevd and Ted were just talking with each other as I finished setting up my station.

I began to head out the door when I got slapped, "OW, WHAT THE-"

"That's for being an ass." A girl with long brown hair and bright green eyes cut me off. She then pushed me back into my cabin and left. I ended up on the floor from the event.

"Damn Andrew... it hasn't even been a day and you've pissed off Esmeralda." Ted laughed.

"All I did was not get their volleyball, why are they so dramatic?" I asked myself, getting up and brushing myself off.

"Because they're girls. They are always overdramatic. Esmeralda is the only one that can keep her head semi-sensable around here." A smooth voice spoke from behind me. I turned around to see a dude in a camp t-shirt, black skinny jeans, a camp baseball cap, and a leather jacket. Something about the way he stood just screamed "Douche".

"Ah, Noel! So you did decide to stick around after all." Daevd smirked. Noel grumbled, setting his stuff down on the bed across from mine.

"Not by my own will, Jenks." He called over his shoulder. Daevd laughed to himself a little before correcting his posture.

"Alright now that everyone's here, the list of our cabin rules are under each one of the pillows. All you gotta do is read them. Get to it." He barked. I flinched a bit, not used to his new behavior at all.

I picked up the paper and began to read.

RULES FOR CABIN #14
• No alcohol.
• No smoking (I thought this would be common sense, but Noel doesn't seem to realize that)

I snickered to myself before continuing.

• Tell all cabin members before inviting a girl over.
• Showers: Open at 5:20 am, close at 7:45 pm. Use them.
• Dirty clothes should be washed by the river. Daevd will do this.
• Always listen to any problems the others may be facing. We're building a family-vibe here.
• Don't leave any food on the floor. Raccoons may break in again.
• Report all injuries/incidents to the main cabin (AKA The Mess Hall)
• Bonding Exercises are mandatory!!!!
• Have fun.

I smiled to myself. Maybe this won't be so bad of a summer... wait did that say raccoons have broken in before?

"Raccoons broke in a lot last year... so that why we'll be locking the cabins this summer." Daevd explained as he handed out the keys.

"Is that the only reason why?" Ted asked, his eyebrows wiggling. Daevd instantly started to blush.

"Oh shut up, that was only one time!" Noel defended.

What the fuck?

"Alright, whatever. Hey Ved, isn't the 'Start of Summer Bonfire' goin to start soon?" Ted asked. Noel groaned and fell back onto his bed.

"Yeah... everyone should get changed though cause there'll be swimming afterwards," Daevd announced. We all looked at each other for a split second, "Oh like we won't be doing this everyday, c'mon."

We laughed then changed. There was about an hour left, so we were playing Never Have I Ever. Loser has to walked to and from the showers in just their underwear.

*Time Skip brought to you by Andrew's mortification*

"Never have I ever had a girlfriend." I stated. Ted was the only one to put his finger down, taking him out. He cursed. I looked at Daevd and Noel curiously.

"It'd tie me down too much."
"Don't have time."
They explained at the same time.

"But dude, how haven't you gotten a girlfriend yet?" Ted asked.

"I'm just not interested." I shrugged.

"Well how about this... if you can get a girl from Cabin 17 to fall for you and be your girlfriend from that time to the end of summer, we'll give you 6,000 dollars and you can break in the new hangout house." Noel offered. Ted was looking at the floor and Daevd just looked intensely interested at his hands all of a sudden.

"And if I loose?" I asked.

He gave me a malicious grin, "You don't wanna find that out."

I gulped, "Alright, deal."

"Now that that's settled..." He trailed off.

"...Time for the bonfire!" Daevd cut in, practically pushing us out the door.
