Finn smiled as he left the Cafeteria. After having a second helping of chicken wings and mashed potatoes for dinner, Misty Tyler had said that they would leave early so they had time to get ready, but Finn frowned. He had only eaten for about 30 minutes. Wasn't dinner supposed to 45 minutes?
Misty Tyler, a 5'4'', strong woman, about 25 or so, who had light blue eyes, was the head of Cabin 1. Finn didn't really want to get on her bad side. As she led the campers to their cabins, she turned and began talking to the campers.
"You have thirty minutes to get ready, that includes calling home. Then I want you all to meet in the living room." Misty said, a suspicious smirk creasing her face. Finn frowned. Felicity and Sandra stormed into the house, giggling and running to their room. Finn jogged to his room. Logan slowly followed, an unreadable expression on his face.
Finn entered his room, Logan following behind him. Finn was attempting to open his locker, when he saw Logan, his back turned, searching his locker for something to sleep in. Finn decided he should make some conversation, and at least try to befriend his roommate;
"So, umm, where do you come from, Logan?" Finn asked.
"Live about 10 minutes from here." He grunted back, taking his shirt off just to replace it with his sleeping shirt.
"What is your first class tomorrow?" Finn grabbed his soap, hair conditioner and towel, preparing to take a shower.
"Wrestling. Why?" Logan turned to face him, his bluish-green eyes boring into Finn's.
"I was just wondering. Do we have any classes together?"
Logan rolled his eyes and handed Finn his schedule sheet. Finn took the paper, scanning his eyes over Logans schedule sheet. The had two classes together- horse-back riding and cooking. Finn smiled, quickly telling his roommate;
"We have two classes together! Cooking and Horse riding!"
"Great." Logan snatched his paper back, "Are you going to take a shower, or just sit there amazed that we see each other more than I'd like?"
Finn frowned at his roommate's sharp tongue, and muttered an apology before leaving to go take his shower. Misty was in the living room, building something from the couch cushions.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Top-secret." The Cabin head answered, "If you need to take a shower or brush your teeth, the bathroom is down the hall, first door on the left." She pointed. Finn nodded a thanks, taking a last look at what suspiciously looked like a fort.
Finn entered the bathroom and locked the door behind him. As he began to undress, he looked at the shower. It was actually pretty big, and there was already a bottle of shampoo and body wash. He stepped into the shower, and turned one of the knobs. Warm water flowed down his back and Finn began lathering up the soap and washing himself off.
"Finn! Lord are you still in there?!"
Finn was snapped out of his thoughts as someone banged on the door. He shook his head, he must have gotten lost in thought. As always... Finn called back;
"I'm almost finished! One minute!" He answered, quickly turning off the water and hopping out.
"Seriously, Finn! It's been ten minutes since you got in there. Are you ok?" Misty called.
"He's fine, he just isn't used to having 5 minute showers." The first person, probably Logan, growled.
Finn sighed and began to dry himself off with his bath towel, quickly drying his hair and wrapped his towel around himself, grabbing his soap and running back to his room, ignoring the glances from Misty and Sandra. Logan glared at him and walked into the bathroom, a towel flung around his shoulders and his toiletries in his hands.
Finn slammed the door behind him, and sighed. Sighing, Finn locked the door behind him and began to get dressed: A dark blue shirt, with the West Flame High School logo on it, and some comfortable shorts. Finn took this time and began too prepare for tomorrow, putting Monday's clothes in the closet, and putting his tennis shoes right below his clothes.
He looked at his bed which had 2 sheets and a pillow, not including the blanket and pillow he had brought himself. On his pillow was his phone, with 3 missed calls from his mother.
Chuckling, Finn picked up his phone and dialed his mother's number. Almost instantly, his mother picked up.
"FINN! How was your first day, baby? Did you make lots of friends?"
"Yeah.." Finn answered, "I met these two guys, Cedric and Roger, and they are pretty cool." Finn didn't mention Harvy. He didn't want him mom thinking that he was going around picking fights at camp.
"Ok baby. What did you have for dinner?"
"Oh man, Mom! They have a whole buffet, literally! I had chicken wings, pizza, mashed potatoes and lots of other nice stuff!"
"That's great, Finn! I'm so proud of you. Make sure to drink plenty of water tomorrow! Ok I need to go, Charlotte is calling me. Talk to me tomorrow, sweetie!" Finn smiled, saying his goodbyes and hanging up.
Just as Finn was about to go to bed, a call from the living room jolted him awake.
"Finn! Get in here!" It was Misty, and she sounded pretty excited. Finn sighed, and walked into the living room. All three of the girls were hiding behind the couch, giggling.
"What's going on?" He asked, quickly making note of the exits in the room.
"We are waiting for Logan to stop showeri-"
"Im no showring, I bruthing my teeth!" Logan called from the bathroom. Finn withheld a laugh.
A few moments later, Logan emerged from the bathroom, dressed in his pajamas and an unreadable expression on his face. Misty stood up, a pillow in her hands. Logan raised an eyebrow.
Then, without any warning, Misty chucked the pillow straight at Logan's face. Logan quickly saw it coming and ducked, glaring at Misty. The pillow hit the wall behind him, just barely missing a painting of a house by a lake. Sandra and Felicity burst out laughing, Finn joining them. Logan didn't want any of it, and picked up Misty's pillow. Aiming straight at Finn, he threw the pillow. Finn raised his hand to block the pillow, but the top of the pillow got him right on the head. He grabbed the pillow, a mischievous grin on his face
"It. Is. On!"
In just minutes, all of the campers in Cabin 1 were either hurling pillows, dodging behind chairs, getting hit in the face, or laughing until their sides got sore. Logan had volunteered Finn to be his human shield, and Finn was kind of forced to take the majority of the girls' pillows while Logan threw everything that had stuffing in it, including Felicity's puma stuffed animal, which she grabbed and tossed back in the girls' room.
Logan growled he ran out into the open, ducking behind the coffee table and grabbing a small, fluffy pillow and throwing it straight at Sandra. The blonde ducked and leapt back behind the couch, grabbing two pillows and throwing them both, one at Logan and one at Finn. Finn gasped and leapt to the side, grabbing the pillow and placed it behind the chair, so Logan could throw it later.
Then, at the same time, Misty leapt from behind the couch and threw the biggest pillow at Finn. Finn gasped and tried to duck, but Logan quickly reached his hand out in front of him, stopping the pillow. Finn muttered a quick thanks, taking a pillow on the floor and hiding by a bookshelf.
Finn took aim, and threw a pillow straight at Sandra. She squealed in happiness and surprise, and was about to start barraging him with pillows, when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Guys. This is Mr. Hart. It's time to settle down and get to bed."
Misty nodded and checked her watch.
"He's right you guys. It's time to get to bed." Misty began to usher the girls to bed. Finn nodded to Logan, and the older teen began to head towards his room. Logan flopped onto his bed, and pulled the covers up to his chin.
Finn began to help Misty clean up the pillows, and any stuffing and feathers that might've fallen out.
"That was really fun!"
"Yeah.." Misty said. "I usually do that so the campers like me."
"Well it worked." Finn laughed as he straightened the couch cushions.
"You should head on to bed now. You are going to have a fun day tomorrow." Misty smiled at him.
Finn nodded and headed to his room, reflecting on the fun pillow fight that just happened. Finn entered the room and crawled under the covers in his bed. Misty entered, making sure the two boys were asleep, and turned the lights off. Finn closed his eyes. He could hear Logan gently snoring across the room, and Finn began to fall a sleep himself.
"Goodnight Logan." Finn said sleepily. There was silence for a moment.
"Goodnight Finn."
