It's 1992. Stan is volunteering as a camp counsellor to start saving up for college. At first it's just a stupid summer job, but the arrival of a cute counsellor might change his perspective.

POV: It is from a third person perspective but the chapters alternate between focusing on Stan and Bill.

Y'all I am an English kid at heart so it kills me to use improper spacing. It's paragraphs with indents, take it or leave it.
Please tell me of any spelling mistakes and don't be afraid to comment! I love seeing comments <3
