Disclaimer: I just realized I totally didn't put this in the last chapter. I nearly always forget it. So let's just make this for the whole story, kay? I don't own it. Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer. I don't see why anyone would want to own it. I mean, it would be nice to have come up with it, but still. We get to read it, don't we? And we don't have to work like maniacs to reach deadlines and stuff. We don't have to write 24/7 like her. It seems like we got the long end of the stick. Poor Stephenie! Let's all give her three cheers and a virtual hug for being the best author a reader could hope for!!!
This chapter's going to be split into two parts…what's going on in the guys' cabin, and what's going on in the girls'. Bella's doing the girls' and Jasper's doing the guys'.

In the Girls' CabinI walked into the small three-roomed cabin, and spotted it. A sign. It read: "Welcome Group 7 Girls!" in large pink letters. Then, it listed our names, each written on a different type of fruit. I walked into the room closest to the sign.
There were six other girls there, two were making polite conversation, asking get-to-know-you questions, two were standing by their freshly made bunks looking uncomfortable while the other two girls, one tall and blond, the other short with spiky black hair, talked as if they knew each other. Great. I was the last one.
I dragged my trunk and pillow over to the last available bottom bunk and set them down.
"Okay girls!" I heard a cheery voice call from the doorway. I turned around and the speaker directed her next words at me. "Oh hi! You must be Bella!"
"Yeah." I said sheepishly. I was a tiny bit shy.
"I'm Mary, and I'll be your counselor this week." She smiled a perky smile. I knew I was going to get along with her. I was not a troublemaker. "Okay, so, girls, we need to get our bathing suits on, we're going to be taking the swim test this afternoon."
She left the room and closed the door so we could change. I turned to open my trunk and retrieved one of my bathing suits. It was a dark blue bikini with small yellow daises printed all over it. As I struggled to put the suit on without exposing myself to the entire cabin of girls, the short black-haired one came over to me.
"Hi! I'm Alice. I absolutely love your bathing suit." Her smile was friendly, and she was bouncing up and down, her bathing suit already on.
"Oh. Um, thanks." I said, blushing. Alice smiled and turned to face the other girls.
"So what are everyone's names?" I had a feeling she would be a sort of…leader for us girls.
"Rosalie." The tall blond girl was beautiful. Her blue eyes, perfect figure, and Coach luggage were intimidating, but her voice was friendly enough. I noticed that she seemed to only be speaking to Alice though.
"I'm Mary." Said a girl who was shorter than everyone except Alice. She had light brown hair, almost blond, and she looked really shy. Her slightly baggy clothes said that she was one for comfort, not fashion. She looked at the floor the whole time she spoke.
"Kaitlyn." This girl was athletic looking. Not in that I-work-out-every-day sort of way, but in the way that made her look like she actually played sports.
"Sarah." She looked shy, but her voice was strong and confident. Her jeans and t-shirt made her look relaxed, but I could tell she was uncomfortable meeting new people. She smiled and looked up, a failed attempt at looking brave.
"Kristin." Said the other girl. She was skinny. Not anorexic or anything, but definitely skinny. She smiled after she said her name, and two dimples appeared on the sides of her mouth. She wasn't shy exactly. She just didn't know anyone. As if any of us did.
"I'm Bella." I said shyly. Introductions were not my thing.
"And I'm Alice. So now that we know each other's names, where's everyone from?" Alice seemed intent on making us communicate.
I figured we might as well be comfortable while she brought out the Spanish Inquisition. I sat down on my bed and motioned for Sarah, Mary and Kristin to join me. Rosalie perched carefully on one of her many suitcases and Kaitlyn sat down on my trunk.
Alice sighed, "Well, I'm from Mississippi. Biloxi. What about you, Rosalie?"
"New York. I love the city." A slightly wistful look crossed her beautiful face.
"Raleigh, North Carolina." Came Mary's quiet voice, trembling slightly because she was nervous.
"Winterville, North Carolina. It's right outside G-Vegas." We all looked at her funny. "Geez. None of you are from here, are you? G-Vegas is NC slang for Greenville." Kristin was actually pretty confident. She just wasn't very good at introductions.
"What about you, Bella?" Alice asked, drawing me away from my thoughts.
"Oh! Sorry. Phoenix, Arizona. I was born in Washington State, though. I don't miss it. Too much rain."
"Sarah?" It seemed I wasn't the only shy one.
"New Bern." Came the reply.
"I'm from Cary. Its just outside Raleigh." The athletic girl said. Kaitlyn, I remembered her name was.
"Are you girls ready?" I heard Mary (the counselor) call from the other side of the door.
"Affirmative, captain!" Alice said, while the rest of us just laughed. This girl was incredible.
"Then lets go take our swim test!"
Meanwhile, In The Guys' Cabin…After registration, I dropped my suitcase off at the appropriate place so I could have it delivered to my cabin.
Cabin 6. Group 7. My counselor's name was Andrew. At least, that's what the little orange scrap of paper said.
I made my way to Cabin 6 without trouble. I opened the screen door and walked in.
"Group 7?" Asked a tall, skinny, brown-haired guy, who I guessed to be in his early twenties.
"Yeah." I answered him. "My name's Jasper."
"I'm Andrew, your counselor. You get your pick of beds—you're the first one." He pointed to the room farthest from the door.
I walked in and surveyed the sky-blue walls and floor (all concrete) and the four bunk beds. I picked the bottom bunk on the right side—the closest to the window. I sat down on my new bed and waited for the others.
Emmett was the first, big and muscled with curly hair. I introduced myself, recognizing his mountain accent because it was almost as "southern" as my own. We introduced ourselves as the others came, also. Edward with his strange bronze hair, short Tucker with his heavy accent (I must admit, I was thankful that I wasn't the only one with this problem), Andrew (another one) with his confidence, and Kyle with his floppy hair.
Andrew walked in after we'd been talking for a little, getting to know the guys we were going to be living with for a week. "Hey guys, we're taking the swim test at 5, so you might want to get ready."
"Yes! We get to see the girls in their bikinis!" Emmett stood up and put his fist into the air. Everyone laughed.
As we changed, we listened to Emmett go on about how he'd waited for this for weeks and how he hoped there would be at least one hot girl in our group.
"Geez, Emmett!" Said Edward after a while, still laughing, "No one likes a horn dog!"

So! How did you like it? I'm using my counselors from this year so I can get their personalities right. But…something's going to happen later in the story that you can't hold against the real people…cuz some of it didn't really happen. You'll see what I mean. They're really great people, and Mary, if you read this, I'm sorry for allowing my characters to prank people, but Emmett's uncontrollable. You would never allow it, but let's just pretend that you were on your night off, okay? (You scared us when you started yelling at the Group 6 girls. I swear, pranking never looked scarier!)
