Chapter 2: Camp - Help

"Chara, watch out!"

OOF!

Great. It's raining soccer balls apparently. I will never understand these people. How is almost dying from a huge flying object ramming itself into your face considered fun?

"Really sorry about that, are you okay?"

"Well, let's think about that," I started. The sarcasm was building. "I got whacked in the head by a random flying soccer ball, I almost stabbed myself in the eye with a pencil, and now you're asking me if I'm okay. Yeah, I'm great. I'm so glad that I almost blinded myself."

So far, camp... hadn't gone so good. Social interactions with other humans wasn't my strong suit, I mean look at me! My only friend is a monster called Temmie with terrible grammar and a hard-boiled egg that she hopes to hatch!

After being roped into more "fun" activities than I ever wanted to see in my life, I'd given up and decided to walk as far away as possible and draw until it was time for lunch. And by as far away as possible I mean as far as I could walk without practically dying from physical exertion, which, now that I think about it, isn't actually that far away, so it came as no surprise that those stupid kids kicked a soccer ball at me and almost blinded me by way of pencil. There should be a name for murders committed by pencils. Pencilcide, maybe.

As I gathered my stuff and set off to try once more to get as far away as possible, I started plotting ways to get the camp to shut down so that everyone could go home.

'Hmm, if I burn down the cabins they'll just make us set up tents, but if I hid all the equipment so there'd be nothing to do? No, they'd just make us look for it. If I kidnapped the teachers? Nah, too much work. Oh, and it's illegal, I suppose.'

Just as I had come to the conclusion that there was nothing I could do and that I should just pray to the chocolate gods that it would snow or something, the other kids all started running to the cabins. Apparently the chocolate gods heard my prayer, because they'd sent snow. In the middle of Summer. Wow, that is not going to be good for the ecosystem.

I wondered why the other kids were looking at me so strangely as they ran past. Was it because I had a scarf on in the middle of Summer and they were praising my preparational skills? I couldn't think of anything else. After all, I was only shouting praises to the chocolate gods at the top of my lungs while dancing around like a lunatic. Doesn't everyone do that? Rude.

After a while I decided I had adequately shown my gratitude to the chocolate gods and ran towards one of the cabins. It was the one on a hill, in the middle of nowhere and I was sure that no one would go to that one. Unfortunately, irony exists so the kids who almost killed me with a soccer ball were also going for that one, maybe to hide after they so brutally attempted to commit pencilcide. Oh, and a few others were going there too, but I don't really care about them.

"Guys, look at that!"

Just as I was about to say "I have arrived!" in a really cool and dramatic way, I was interrupted by someone else and tripped over a clump of snow, falling flat on my face. DARN IT! As I got up, glaring around at the offender, I noticed one of the kids pointing at some weird light show going on in the sky. That's probably what the "look at that" was for, but still! Wait 2 seconds, would ya?!

Anyway, I suppose I should describe the lights, I guess. Not entirely sure why I should though. What have you ever done for me? Oh, what's that, it's my job to describe everything? Well, to that! I say! ...That you are totally right. UGH, fine! I guess I'll describe it.

There was some kind of green swirly hole in the sky, and a bunch of little lights flew out of it like "we're free!" and rained down on us like meteors. Another little light was flying away to who knows where like "ha, see ya suckers!" while the main group crashed into the snow in front of us. I like that one.

Anyway, the main group of lights left little craters in the snow, and then started floating up in front of us. Everyone started grabbing them, but I was reluctant to grab mine because I wanted the sassy one that flew off into the distance. I decided I could just trade it in later, so I grabbed my goody-two-shoes light before it floated off.

When we grabbed them, they stopped glowing like, "ew, human germs!" and turned out to be these weird little devices. They looked kinda like alien watches, but they didn't have the wrist strap thing that watches have so I dunno. There were a bunch of weird symbol things on it like some kind of alien language, or it could've just been a stupid toddler trying to write and flailing the pen, ( or whatever they used to write the markings on the alien-watch thing), around everywhere.

"Surf's up!"

Before we could examine the alien-watches any more, (or wonder why the surf is always up and not down), a massive wave came out of nowhere like "I have arrived!" and swallowed us up. We were pulled away and everything went black.

'Alright, I could be dying, so I need to choose my last words carefully.'

"I KNEW IT WAS A GOOD ENTRANCE PHRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

With the last of their remaining strength, everyone looked at me with the most judgmental looks the world has ever seen.

'Totally worth it!'
