Chapter 2: Meeting the other Counselors
Linda gasped. "You know this one as well?" She frowned, looking at the murderous look on Rory's face and decided that she had better get out of the room. "I'm going to help Andrew in the boat house." She then walked out of the room, hoping that the furniture would still be intact when she came back.
Tristan took off his sunglasses and smiled in incredulity. "Mary?"
She gritted her teeth. "The name is Rory."
Tristan shrugged. "Mary suits you better." He put his bag down on the floor and continued. "Are you a counselor here?"
Rory nodded, not trusting herself to do much else. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the way things are turning out.
He put on a baseball cap backwards, glanced briefly at her and chuckled.
"Mary, the tomatoes would be no match for you if you get any redder. Do you know what cabin you're in charge of?"
"Yeah." Rory exhaled. "What are you doing here, DuGrey?"
His eyebrow lifted. "For your information, I'm the new water activities instructor." He glanced towards the direction of the lake. "How about we go for a swim later on today before the screaming kids arrive?"
Rory shook her head. "We can't, remember? It's eleven now, and the rest of the counselors should be here in another hour or so. When they're all here, we're going to get debriefed and then we have to get the place ready for the campers."
Tristan grinned. "Guess I'll have to see you in your bikini another day then."
"In your dreams, Tristan." He hadn't changed much, but his body had. Military School had meant that he had a perfectly scrumptious body. She could see that the upper half of his body was well buffed since the wife beater he wore didn't actually hide much from her view. He also wore some cargoes, and had on a pair of trainers. Rory punched him lightly on the shoulder, and was surprised when he caught her arm.
"Mary, I did miss you," he said.
Rory faltered, not knowing what to say. "Really?" She finally choked out.
Tristan nodded. "Yeah."
A smile overtook Rory's features. "Chilton isn't the same without you." She gave him a quick hug, told him she'd see him later and walked off towards the boat house, ready to scold Linda's ears off.
The ten counselors sat down in the conference room. Rory sat in between Paris and Jess.
Linda smiled at them all. "As you'll know, my name is Linda, and this," she pointed to the man besides her, "is Andrew. We welcome you to this camp and hope that you have a nice time here. You will be handed three Summer Camp shirts, of which you'll be expected to wear during all camp activities.
All of you are in charge of different activities, and you'll also have four campers below your belt. You have in front of you a clipboard, map, pencils, and the names of the children who will be in your cabin. You will be expected to take care of them once their daytime activities are over.
There are twelve outhouses, located strategically around the areas. There will be check-ups on your cabins so you will have to keep it clean and tidy. Well, I think that's it. If you have any questions, you can ask either Andrew or I, we can be found in the General cabin. You can now introduce yourselves to each other whilst I get the shirts."
Linda stood up and headed towards the storage room, Andrew and one of the male counselors in tow.
Tristan cleared his throat. "Hey, I'm Tristan. I have a great sense of humour and a sexy body." One of the females laughed appreciatively and looked him up and down. Rory frowned, and discovered an uneasy feeling deep in her gut. Jeolousy? Of Tristan's soon-to-be groupies? She scorned that idea, and decided to ignore the fluttering in her stomach. "I go to the military school in North Carolina and will coach the kids on anything that is water related, be it jet skiing or beginner swimming. I'm also counselor for Cabin B2."
The person sitting next to Tristan spoke. He had messy chocolate hair and dark green eyes. He looked sinfully hot. "I'm Trent," he said, his voice deep. "I'm counselor for Cabin B3, and will teach the kids to dance. I love Harleys, so you can get me that for my birthday."
They laughed, and Tristan socked him. "You wish."
Trent grinned. "I'm also single."
Rory laughed out loud. Here was Tristan's contender for Mr Congeniality. She was sure they would both have female campers all over them.
The girl sitting on the other side of Jess spoke. "I'm Evelyn, call me Eve. I'm counselor for Cabin G4 and I'm going to be helping Rory with the art stuff. I'm definitely single." She grinned at Trent, Jess and Tristan appreciatively, and licked her lips.
Rory sighed. Obviously, Eve was the slut counselor of Summer Camp. And she was going to be working with Rory. Darn.
"I'm Paris, I'm counselor for Cabin G3 and will do the Drama daytime activity." She paused. "I go to school with Rory."
Rory smiled. "That's me. I'm Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, but since that is a mouthful, you all can call me Rory. I go to Chilton Academy and am the arts coach. I'm counselor for Cabin G5 and I'm also addicted to coffee." Neither Jess nor Tristan liked the looks that some of the guys were directing towards Rory.
"I'm Kaye," said the girl with strawberry blond hair. She had blue eyes and was quite petite. "I will be in charge of the youngest campers, which will take up most of my time. It means that I'm not going to be doing any daytime activities. I'm in charge of Cabin G2." She paused, as if contemplating whether she should say anything else. "I used to be anorexic, and my parents thought it would be help me recover if I'm a counselor here."
Rory looked on in shock and awe. The girl could actually tell other people that she used to be bulimic? Amazing. Although, the first step to recovery was admittance.
The boy sitting next to Kaye looked a bit like her, although he was taller and wore glasses. "I'm Mark and I'm Kaye's twin. I'm the counselor for Cabin B5 and do the computer related stuff around here. I'm also the undefeated champion for all computer games."
Rory smiled at him. He looked quite friendly.
"I'm Jess, counselor for Cabin B1 and I think I'm the freelancer. Linda says I can just help out with anyone who needs help."
Paris looked at him seriously. "I think you should help me out."
Jess grinned at her. "Out of your clothes? Why, it would be a pleasure."
Paris flushed deep red whilst everyone laughed. Although Rory laughed along with them, she couldn't ignore another kick in her gut. She groaned to herself. Jeolous of Jess flirting with Paris? What is the world coming to?
The girl with chin length, glossy black hair and dark brown eyes spoke next. She had a pronounced British accent. "I'm Su-Ann, I have a Malay mother and a British father. I'm the Physical Education instructor, I have first aid training and I love playing basketball. I'm the counselor for Cabin G1."
Trent smirked. "Maybe we could play a little one-on-one."
"I would kick your ass," said Su-Ann bluntly. She grinned, and pointed at the counselor who had not spoken yet. "Besides, that one over there is my boyfriend and if looks could kill, you'd be dead by now."
Rory's head swung around to the counselor helping Linda carry some boxes in. He was quite tall, and he had dark blond hair. He had dark brown eyes and was quite good looking. He cleared his throat, and introduced himself.
"I'm Daniel James, but call me DJ if you want me to talk to you again. I'm the counselor for Cabin B5 and I'll be helping Su-Ann with the PE stuff."
Linda smiled around at everyone again. "Okay. Well, now that you all know each other, come here and get three shirts of your size. Remember that you have to wear these shirts all the time whilst you are representing Summer Camp and please remember to wear something with the shirt, like shorts."
Everyone chortled, and made their way to get the shirts.
Later on that night, Rory sat on the pier over the lake. The reflection of the moon glimmered on the surface or the water and the stars twinkled at her. She sighed; it was such a tranquil sight and she loved the fact that they were near a forest, away from the populated cities. She breathed the fresh night air.
"It's a pretty sight isn't it?" asked someone from behind.
Rory knew without turning who it was. "Yeah."
Jess came and sat down besides her. They sat down in comfortable silence, until Jess spoke. "We didn't really get a chance to talk. How are you feeling?"
Rory thought for a while. "I'm okay, I guess. Being here puts my perspective into place and it gives me a chance to gather some experience."
Jess nodded. "I know what you mean. How's Luke?"
Rory glanced at him. "He's fine, still in charge of the diner, still arguing with Taylor."
"One day they're going to kill each other."
Rory frowned. "I hope not. You know, he's going out with my mum now."
Jess chuckled. "Wow, I never thought he'd be brave enough to make the first move."
Rory smiled. "He isn't. My mum did it."
Jess laughed out loud. "How's Dean?"
Rory grimaced. "Out of the picture."
"Oh, I'm sorry"
Rory shrugged. "Yeah, it happens." She paused, and finally blurted out, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
Rory held her breath, not knowing whether she wanted to hear the answer or not. On one hand if he did have a girlfriend, she would know that he was taken and well, she wouldn't try to make a move on him or anything. On the other hand, if he wasn't taken
Jess turned to face her. "No." He placed his hands on her chin and turned her head to look at him. He brought his face closer to hers slowly, giving her time to turn away if she wanted. She didn't want to turn away. His lips met hers lightly.
To be continued
Okay, I tallied it up and so far, it's:
Trory – 1111111111111111111111111 = 25
Literati – 11111111111 = 11
Narco – 1 = 1
I'm not very good at maths but I think that's right. I'm not sure whether second votes should count, so tell me whether you've voted before or not
REVIEW PlEaSe!!!
