Chapter 1

I stepped through the door of the Grizzly cabin at Camp Kikiwaka and noticed that Gladys, the camp owner, who wasn't the sweetest person I'd ever met, had had my bags delivered to the cabin. I also noticed three boys reading books in their bunks. All three of them had black hair. One guy wore a red T-shirt over black shorts. The second boy had darker skin, and the third boy had curly black hair and glasses.

"Hi, I'm Steve," I said to the guy in the red shirt.

"I'm Xander," he replied, shaking my hand. "The Indian guy- that's my good friend Ravi Ross. He's a CIT (Counselor in Training), and the boy with the glasses- that's Jorge."

Ravi, Jorge, and I shook hands. Just then, the camp bell rang. "Time for swimming!" Xander said. We all changed into our bathing suits, and I started to follow the guys out of the cabin.

As we made our way to the lake, I happened to notice a beautiful girl with short, platinum-blonde hair sitting on a rock. She had her head in her hands, and I could've sworn she was sobbing.

"I'll catch up with you guys in a bit," I called to Ravi, Xander, and Jorge. I have a thing about crying girls. Whenever I see one, I just want to hug and comfort them.

I approached the girl slowly and sat next to her on a spare rock. I tapped her on the shoulder. She looked at me.

"What's your name?" I asked gently.

"Hazel Swerengen. I'm Gladys' niece," she answered, her eyes brimming with tears.

"I'm Steve. What's the matter?" I asked.

"I have a crush on Xander, but he likes Emma Ross better than me. Everyone in camp thinks I'm crazy," Hazel replied. "The girls in Woodchuck cabin call me Crazel, and Xander wants nothing to do with me!"

I put my arm around her. "I know how you feel," I whispered soothingly. "I've had my fair share of girl crushes myself. Xander doesn't like you, but don't worry. I know I can treat you better than he can."

Hazel hugged me tight and wiped her tears. "Finally, a guy cares about me," she whispered. I soon realized we were meant to be together, but I needed to get to know her better first.
