Chapter 1
The sun shone in through the window, the wind chimes hanging on the ceiling caught the sunlight and reflected it throughout the room. The cabin was filled with a brilliant white light. I groaned. Its Saturday, Apollo, give us a break! I lifted the pillow up from over my head. No one had gotten up yet.
As usual, I was the only one awake and not only was I not tired anymore, I was alone. I went through my regular morning schedule, get up brush my teeth, shower etc. This was the advantage of getting up early, guaranteed hot water. I got out of the shower and changed. The bathroom mirror tempted me to look at it. I stared at my left ear and sighed. There was a purple device which, at first glance looked like a high-tech earring. It was, in fact, a hearing aid. I pulled my damp hair over my ear and went back to my bunk.
Saturday was not a day which campers are exempted from chores, beds had to be made, floors had to be swept and mopped and garbage had to be emptied. I started to do my chores, when my half-brother, Butch woke up.
"Up so early? Excited to get started on the chores?" he joked.
"No, those damn chimes woke me up." I retorted.
Butch rolled his eyes and left to get ready. I looked around the cabin and realized how beautiful it looked early in the morning. The bunks were divided into girls and boys, separated by a lilac curtain. I started sweeping and mopping my area of the bed when Natasha, another one of my half-siblings woke up. Ugh why don't you stay on cloud nine?
"What are you looking at chubby?" she mocked.
I folded my arms defensively. Even though Natasha doesn't mean any harm, each insult secretly hurts. I scowled and got on with my work. My siblings started to wake up one by one, each either greeting or insulting me. Once all the chores were over, our cabin headed for breakfast.
"Sheila!" a voice yelled. I looked over to the Tyche table and saw Kim. I walked over and greeted her. "Hi Kim", I grinned. Her other half, Annie, nodded and welcomed me. The Tyche twins were generally a kind bunch, but not overly sweet, like the Hebe kids.
I stood in line to grab some fruit. Even after being here for a month, the breakfast spread never failed to amaze me. Fruit, cereal, toast, eggs, sausages, Pop tarts etc. All this food looked awesome. I grabbed a Pop tart and some eggs. And walked over to my table
I sat next to Butch and our Cabin planned on what we were going to do today. After the Argo 2 was build, there wasn't anything left to do. Little did I know how wrong I was.
