"Each of you will be assigned a partner, and you and your partner will work on an assigned job." One of the counselers stated. "If you don't do your job, looks like there'll be no dinner for you. She looked at list of student's names on her clipboard. "Ashley Kerwin and Marco Del Rossi, you two will be filing papers, down at the office by the cabin. Paige Michalchuk and Craig Manning, you two will be working down at the shop across the street. Ellie Nash and Spinner Mason, you will be cleaning up the beach."

Ashley walked into the office, put her bag down, but Marco was already there. "Filing papers, great job." He told her.
She giggled a bit, "Yup, very addicting."
After about two hours of mostly silence but some nonsense talk, meanwhile alphabetizing the files, none of which had any signifigance to them, Marco finally broke the silence. "So, last night....y'know."
"What about it?" Ashley asked, still looking down at the file cabinet.
"You. Craig. You kissed, remember?"
"Marco, just lay off my business, 'kay? Just go on being the fag that you are." He looked up from his files at her, silently. "Marco, I'm really sorry. I should think before I speak...It's just that-"
"I'm going to the bathroom. Just continue with the files."

Spinner gestured Ellie to help him with the liter. They had been working for what seemed like forever. "I'll be there in a second, Spin." She put down her bag, got her cell phone out and dialed Sean's number, just to check up on him. It rang a couple of times but luckily he was home.
"Hey, it's me, El."
"Oh, um...hi."
"What are you up to?"
"Nothing really." His voice sounded tired, almost as if he didn't want to speak to her. She listened closely and then heard a female voice in the background calling his name.
"Sean, is that Amy?"
"What? El, of course she's not here. The only ones her are me and Jay. That's all."
"Okay, well I miss you."
"Yeah um, me too...so bye, okay?"
"Wait-" But he had already hung up.
