Its been about two weeks since I entered this camp. At first I was excited, but when I got here all my hopes and dreams of what it could be was completely trashed. I couldn't believe what I saw. It was a run down camp with subpar plumbing, it looked like radiation seeped out the very soil. I thought I was about to throw up--there is no way my parents sent me here! I thought to myself as I turned on my heel facing the bus.

"Fuck this." I say to myself as I take one step towards the bus, but before I knew it the bus was already gone leaving a dust trail behind it. I sneer at the road growling under my breath. "You got to be kidding me..." I say with a heavy sigh. This is going to be the worst summer ever. I think to myself turning back around to face the camp only to see a man standing before me smiling brightly.

"Well hello there new camper!" He gleams excitedably. His cheerfulness makes me sick. "Who the hell are you?" Dumb question. "Why, I'm David! You're camp consouler!" I roll my eyes passing by him. "Let me give you the--where are you going?" "Away from you." I retort as I walk down the dirt path pass the tents and a few kids much younger than me. One of them stops in their tracks she looks at me with a toothy grin.

"Hi there! You must be new right? I'm Nikki!" She extends her hand towards me, I relunctantly shake it and say my name. "Nice to meet you!" She says shaking my hand rather quickly, her grips is rather painful. "Nikki!" I hear someone call out as a young boy dressed in blue appears behind her. Nikki lets go of my hand as another boy follows behind the blue one.

"Nikki, what are you doing and who's that?" Nikki places her hands on her hips gesturing towards me with a flick of her arm. "This is our new friend and new camper!" She mentions my name and not much else. She exaggerates how close of friends we are. "Didn't you just meet them?" The taller male asks, I guess there are people my age here.

"Yup!" Nikki says with no hesitation. "You just don't know what good friends are, Neil." So the taller one is Neil... So then who is the other one? "Hey, now that's not true." Neil explains, "I actually have a good sense in friends." "Oh yeah, apparently not because you're friends with us." The blue boy taunted. "Hey... that's not nice, Max." Nikki pouted, but smiled anyway. Max shrugged.

"So... you're new here huh?" I nod my head unable to speak for some reason. He walks closer to me, I didn't expect his eyes to be so... green and rather pretty for a boy. "Well you're going to hate it here, most of us do... except for Nikki." "I like nature." Nikki adds. "So what are you here for? Space camp, adventure camp, science camp, theater camp, behavioral correction camp, magic camp, nerd camp, sports camp, art camp?" "That's a lot of camps..." I say worriedly.

"Yeah and each one only has one person in it, so which one are you?" Max asks getting rather close. "Uhm... what about you?" I ask, Max stands there frozen starring at me with shocked eyes. "It doesn't matter. I have no camp thus I have no rules or restrictions." I wasn't sure if I should feel envious, or sympathetic...there was hurt in his eyes when he said it.

"So uhh... how long have you been here?" I ask them all "About 4 years now. I'm 16." Nikki says with a smile on her face, oh she's older than me... I didn't expect that. "For me its the same, but I'm 17." A year apart. I look over at Max whom is reluctant to say. "7." Max exclaims. "What?" "7. I've been here for seven years. I'm 14." Same age as me...why do I suddenly think he's kind of cute when he looks like this? Gosh me, get yourself together! This isn't romance camp.

"Hey, you never did say what your camp was." Neil spouts putting me back on the spot. "Yeaaah... what is your camp?" Everyone is starring at me now... Oh dear...
