Chapter 5
"Well kids, welcome to Wharton summer camp" grinned a short, fat man with a balding head. He was wearing a sweat stained green polo with the camp logo on it, and a pair of shorts which probably fit him a few decades ago. "Are we all ready to have some fun?" No one replied. He looked over the new campers gleefully. "I can't hear you!" he cried.
"Oh lord..." sighed Louise.
"Here at Wharton, we don't just have fun, we also teach valuable life skills, like friendship, anger management, and working as part of a team" he continued, beaming at each child. "I'm the camp leader, Mr Barshaw!" He paused as if expecting applause, but hastily carried on. "We'll be pairing each of you up with a camp buddy..."
"Oh no" Louise groaned. She already knew what was coming.
"I'll read out the assigned pairs" Mr Barshaw said, extracting from his pocket a scrap of paper, and beginning to list off names. Louise was filled with dread.
"I swear to God if I'm with..."
"Louise Belcher, and Logan Bush" Mr Barshaw declared. Louise's heart sank.
"Hey Bunbun, looks like we're gonna be best pals" Logan laughed.
"My name is not Bunbun, jackass" Louise snarled, fists clenched.
"Sure it is" he grinned "why else would you wear those big old ears?"
"So I can focus my hearing on more important things than the desperate loser stood before me".
"Or is it so you can hear more of me?" Logan chortled.
"You wish, as if anyone listens to the crap that comes out of your mouth" Louise retorted.
"Yeah well… you like crap in your mouth, whore" he said angrily.
"Woah" Louise laughed, "bit touchy on the whole getting noticed subject are we?" making a mental note of his weak spot.
"Shutup, Bunbun" Logan spat. He turned away, and began to walk towards the cluster of buildings. Louise turned away too, looking for the camp leader.
"Oi… where do we sleep? I don't see any hotels" she asked Mr Barshaw angrily.
"Oh, I thought you would have heard with those freaky bunny ears of yours" he laughed. "You share a bunk with your camp buddy, just go find an empty one with whoever the… lucky person is." He sniggered to himself.
"Great, thanks." She said sarcastically, then turned to follow Logan.
