Chapter 1 ~ New Girl
It was just another day at Camp Campbell. The birds were chirping, the flowers were blooming, and the campers were having to deal with David's pestering antics to get them to enjoy themselves. And as always, they were not amused.
"Okay everybody, I know we had a rough start this morning, quite literally. And I'm happy to inform you that Preston is doing better, since falling down that rocky slope on our nature hike." The camp counselor pronounced with his usual happy tone. Nerf had a smirk on his face, which never meant good things for the bully. "We all know Nerf pushed him." Max sneered. The other boy glared at him. The ten year old seemed unphased at the reponse. The other campers had seen him do it as well, they were just too afraid to call out Nerf's rude behavior.
"Now Max, we don't wanna point fingers at anybody. I'm sure if he did it was an accident." The optimist was oblivious to most of the harassment that went on in the camp. This irritated practically everyone, but they couldn't do much about it. The raven haired boy rolled his eyes.
David kept a smile on his face, even though it was clear the campers were bored out of their minds. "Today we are getting a new camper, so I want you all to be welcoming." Nikki immediately perked up. "Ooooh! When are they gonna be here?" Gwen walked to the activities field where the campers had been seated. "Soon." She butted in, seeming to have eavesdropped. The green eyed counselor continued. "Her name is Ebony, and I hope you all ca-" He screamed mid-phrase. The quartermaster drove through the clearing hitting David. Gwen facepalmed. At this point, it seemed like the groundskeeper was trying to kill her partner. She never knew what was up with that guy.
The doors of the bus swang open. "New girl's here." The driver grumbled. Out of what seemed like an eternity, someone finally stepped into view. A small girl with braided purple hair as strikingly bright as her smile. Max noticed an uncanny similarity the girl had to Nikki. He could already tell something was up with her. "Oh wow." He muttered. It was gonna be one of those days.
