Chapter 10: Getting Acquainted

As the rest of the pack headed back to their respective cabins, Zeke couldn't help but notice Dustin staring at that guy and he felt a little bit shaken by it because he's got a crush on Dustin for the longest time and he had thought that maybe he might've felt the same way too, but knowing that the shirtless who that Dustin's interested in made him a little bit insecure and just wanted to express his feelings for him. He slinks back in the cabin along with Cyrus, Chad, Noah, Spike and Josh and four other cabin mates without another word as he unpacks his stuff.

On the other cabins, the same shirtless who walks in another cabin where Kendall, Ryan, Hoagie, Seth, Austin and Frankie along with five other cabin mates as he walks straight to his bunk to unpack things totally unaware that Seth is staring at that shirtless guy and he felt his heart beating a million miles per hour like crazy. He has no idea how that feeling feels like, but it just made him completely interested in him for some reason, but didn't want to make things awkward and/or weird for them.

The shirtless who looks up and notices Seth unpacking things quickly and he blinks his eyes a few times and he said, "You new here?"

"Who, me?" asked Seth, looking surprised that this guy is talking to him.

"Yeah, you." the shirtless who said.

"Not really. I've been at this camp before with my friends." Seth replied.

"Cool." the shirtless who said, putting on his tank top and his beanie on his head.

"Are you new here?" asked Seth.

"Nah, I've been here for 4 years now. It's the best place to be when you wanna jam out to the summer and get away from all the crazy stuff at home." the shirtless guy replied.

Seth nods and said, "My name's Seth."

"I'm Slade."

Both of them shook hands together and Seth blinked his eyes and stared at Slade for a while and asked, "Do you always walk around shirtless?"

"Somewhat. But I also walk around with my tank top too. For some reason, I get a lot of looks from girls...but that makes me uncomfortable. Guys...that's another story." Slade replied.

"I feel the same way, but I don't show off anything." Seth answered.

Slade chuckled at this and he told Seth, "That's cool, man."

"Are you in the same bunk as me?" asked Slade.

"Um...the bottom bunk. Why?" asked Seth.

"We're in the same bunk, man!" Slade said, amazed.

Noah overhears the overlapping enthusiasm as he's unpacking and he could tell that Seth has got a little bit of a bromance coming in and he said to Cyrus, "Looks like Seth has found a dude friend."

Cyrus looks up and sees Seth's bromance coming in and he smiled and said, "Always something. But it's awesome."

"Anyways, these are my friends; Cyrus, Noah, Josh, Chad and Spike. Guys, this is Slade." Seth said, introducing them to the pack.

"Nice to meet you dudes." Slade said, smiling.

"Us too." Noah added.

They shook their hands and Slade said, "You oughta meet my cabin mates, man."

"We're here, Slade." one cabinmate said.

Several other cabinmates came in and Slade face-palmed in total embarrassment and said, "Crud, I'm so stupid. Guys, these are my cabinbuds; Tucker, Jon, Anthony, Brad and Rocky."

"Nice to meet you all." Spike said.

"Same here." Tucker agreed.
