We stood at the door apparently of my new cabin. I glanced at Nico quickly, to see that he was looking at me, gouging my expression. I sighed.

"Don't worry," He said patting my shoulder. "Most people are nice here." He turned to leave, then looked back over his shoulder. "Emphasis on the most."

I shot him the bird as he walked away. Jerk.

I turned back to the door, took a breath and knocked quickly. The door opened, and a girl stuck her head out. She looked like she was 11 or so.

"Um, hello?" she said.

"Hi," I said looking down. "I'm a new member of your cabin I guess."

She smiled, her pale blue eyes sparkling, and walked out the door fully.

"Cool. They said you were coming. My name's Amanda." She stuck out her hand. I shook it.

"My name's Sam."

"I like your name." Her she smiled again, showing her dimples. "it's sporty and sophisticated."

"Yours is not half bad either." I smiled softly at her.

"Thanks, please come in. We have a bed area ready for you and everything." She opened the door wider and le me walk through.

There were six beds situated around the golden colored room, including my new one. In was like entering a regular old camp cabin with cubbies and everything. A really cool, decked out, clean camp cabin, but still, you get the picture. There were four people spread out around the room doing different things.

Two people were sitting in the middle, playing cards. They looked to be about nine. They looked exactly alike, and were probably twins. They had dirty blonde hair, and bright green eyes that were frowning at their cards. One of the boys suddenly smiled and laid down his deck. The other brother peeped from behind his own, smiled and put his down on the floor. The first brother looked appalled, while the second scooted the pile of cookies in the middle towards his side.

What looked to be a 15 year old, brown haired girl sat on her bed with a bunch of music sheets in front of her. Slowly, her hand went down and made a small marking on the paper she was working on now. She sensed someone lingering in the doorway and looked up from her work. Her mysterious yellow eyes stared at me curiously.

The final boy was lying on his stomach reading a book with a flashy cover. His shiny jet black hair covered his eyes read silently. He looked like he was 17 or so.

"Guys," everybody looked up from what they were doing to stare at us. "This is Sam. She's the girl they told us about."

"Hi," the brown haired girl got up and came over to where we were standing. "My name's Maya. Nice to meet you."

"She's a master of music." Amanda told me. "She can play any instrument that you give her. Without music sheets."

"Then what were you doing with those music papers?" I asked before I could stop myself.

"Oh," she said smiling sheepishly. "The music teacher asked some of the campers to write words to a song. I get the words and make up music for them."

"Isn't that child labor?" I asked and she laughed.

"No, I like doing that sort of thing. It's kind of a hobby of mine. So when they asked me to help, I said yes."

"Ok, good." I said. She smiled and went back to what she was working on. The two boys who were playing cards came up to greet me next.

"HI!" The boy who had lost the card game screamed in my face.

"Uh, hi." I said rubbing my broken eardrums. Both boys laughed.

"I'm Tyler," said the second brother.

"And I'm Aden." Said the first.

"And together," Tyler said.

"We're," Aden said.

"AWESOME," They screamed together, again in my face.

"You know, I'm right here." I grumbled. "You don't have to scream."

"Yeah they do," Amanda groaned, shaking her head, which made her ruby colored hair shine in the light.

"You want to play cards?" Tyler asked me.

"Say no." Amanda said quickly.

"Why?" I asked.

"Just… trust me."

"Ok… sorry, but I'm gonna pass." I smiled. "Why don't you play each other?"

"We always play each other." Aden pouted.

I thought for a moment. "Oh, I see. You don't want to get your butt kicked again. I completely understand."

"WHAT!" Aden screamed again. If I have to deal with the screaming in my ear everyday for, like, ever, I think I was going to go deaf.

"She's right you know." Tyler said folding his arms across his chest.

"Texas hold 'em. Here. Now." Aden said getting in his brother's face.

"Bring it." Tyler grinned cockily.

They took their places back in the middle of the floor and started shuffling cards. I turned back to Amanda and she was shaking her head in amazement.

"How did you think a diabolical thing like that up?"

I grinned. "I have a way with people. Um, I do have a question though."

"Yeah?"

"How do you tell them apart? I can't see the difference."

She smiled lightly. "Aden always speaks first."

"Ah," I scanned the room again looking over the beds. I noticed that the boy who was reading, never came to greet me. Amanda followed my line of vision and sighed.

"Sorry about him. He's really anti-social."

I nodded. "What's his name?"

"Jay."

"Cool."

We both stared at him a minute more.

"Do you want to go get your stuff set up?" Amanda said, breaking the silence.

"Sure. I don't have a lot."

"I'll help anyway." We walked over to my bed and started taking stuff out of my backpack. She helped me organize my cloths and other things in my little cubby thing. The last thing I pulled out of my bag was a picture. It was at a beach and the sun was setting turning the whole place yellow, red, and orange. I was standing there, my hand in my mom's. her sweet smile always brightened up my day, but almost brought me to tears at the same time.

"Who's that?" Amanda asked, looking over my shoulder.

"My mom." I said quietly.

"Oh," she said looking down. "She's dead right?"

"Yeah," I said sadly.

"I'm sorry." She patted my shoulder.

"It's ok." I placed her on the top of my Cubby. "Everything's going to be ok."
