Musical Compilation - Summer Camp

Michael

Another year of the camp had arrived. Everyone always talks about how all they want is for this camp to give them their soulmate or something. What they don't realize is that some of us have already found our soulmates. Or at least someone we think could be our soulmate. I didn't even need this camp to find him. He has gone to my school all along. I gotta say, it sucks sometimes watching him try and find other people when I am standing right here in front of him. 

I walked up the path to the cabins and wondered if I'd recognize anyone in my cabin. The counselors do their best to split people from the same school into different cabins but it hasn't always worked out. Finally, I arrived, cabin 600. When I walked in there was only one other boy sitting there. He looked shy and wore a blue striped polo and a cast on his arm. It didn't have any signatures on it yet.

"Hey there." I piped up taking my headphones off.

"Oh, um, hi!", the boy replied.

I reached out to shake his hand and there was a moment of hesitation before he took it. Maybe he was just nervous or something.

"I'm Michael. I like sushi, slushies, and more".

"Evan... is my name. Well actually my names is Mark but no one ever calls me that" he sped through.

"Cool, what do you like, Evan?".

"Um, I like trees".

"I bet you love this camp then."

"Yeah, it's most of the reason I come every year," Evan said quietly and looking down.

"I come because my friend Jeremy dragged me heere one year and now I'm hooked on it".

Suddenly there was a loud banging open of the cabin door.

"No way" a voice I knew yelled out.

I turned around to see none other than Rich Goranski standing in the doorway.

"Rich!" I called out reluctantly.

"I thought they split the schools up," Rich said.

"Well evidently they didn't remember we both are from New Jersey" I replied.

"Whatcha gonna do right?" Rich said throwing his stuff on a bed.

He walked over to Evan.

"Hey man, I'm Rich. Like my name, not my wealth" he said chuckling.

"This is Evan" I chimed in

Evan gave a little wave.

"Sick. Either of you looking for love this year?" Rich asked.

"I have been every year," Evan said quietly.

At the same time as Evan, I replied: "I don't need to look any more".

Rich walked over and put his arm around Evan. Evan looked very uncomfortable with the sudden contact.

"Maybe it'll be your year this time," he said to Evan.

"Maybe" he replied.

"Well, I told Jake I'd find him when we got heere so catch ya later," Rich said and bounded out the door.

"He compensates for the height thing with his loud personality. You'll get used to it" I explained to Evan.

Evan nodded.

"I am supposed to meet my friend Jeremy now but you could totally come with us if you want".

"Thatwouldbegreat, thanks". Evan said standing up.

With that, Evan and I left the cabin and went to find Jeremy.
