Camp Maverick Lavi
by Sanna
Chapter 3 - A Seemingly Good Day Spoiled by a Platypus
She spun the Wheel of Camp Chores. Round and round it went… Just when it was about to stop right at "Camp Cook", a quick wind passed by everyone near the wheel. The wheel took an unexpected spin and stopped at "Do Nothing". Lavi didn't want to do any work today so it was as if luck was on her side.
But she suspected that it wasn't nature that granted her wish for the day. It was that mysterious boy who goes by the Rayzor. Not even Lavi doesn't know what he is but he was a big help with Lavi with gathering the materials and forged documents for her admission to the all-boys camp. Rayzor had resembled a raven in a way except he wasn't bird. He was always had a sword that seemed to be crafted by the finest sword makers from Ancient Japan… Rayzor did prove himself a master barber with the sword when he cut Lavi's long girlish lock of hair off. She remembered that one swift swipe through her long hair that was final touch to her disguise to be a boy. All that Lavi knows is that he has been a great help so far. She does not know why Rayzor is doing these favors for her.
Lavi was free for the whole day while the rest of the new campers did their assigned chores for the day. So she decided to get an early start on unpacking. She was assigned to reside in the "Magic Bean" cabin.
The purple haired chinny was struggling to carry all her luggage. She found herself performing a balancing act with two luggage cases on top of her head, her backpack, and a luggage tote bag held by each hand. She was already looking awkward as she walked in an un-orderly fashion.
"You need a hand?"
"Oh yes, that would really awesome if you could just help me with even one of these luggage bags. Especially the ones on top of my he-!"
Just as Lavi was about finish her sentence, the same person who offered her the help pushed her. Luggage bags came tumbling onto her as she tried to shield herself with her arms.
"Ha ha ha! I "gave" you the hand you needed. Hope it helped! Ha ha ha ha ha!" laughed Edward as he smiled at the luggage covered chinchilla.
"I didn't need a PUSH!" yelled Lavi. Her face was red with anger. This only made Edward more satisfied that his actions annoyed the chinchilla. The happy platypus walked past her while his friend, Jason was about follow but instead offered his hand to help Lavi get up.
Lavi reluctantly accepted the offer as the gecko helped lift herself up.
"Thanks…" Lavi said softly.
"Well no problem, I hope you don't take him too seriously. Edward's seems mean most of the time but he's also a good frie—!"
Lavi didn't stay long to listen what gecko had to say about his jerk of a friend. It left Jason to look around to see if Lavi was around then retreat to the Pinto Bean cabin.
She was saddened and angry that already she had a setback to her seemingly good first day. Lavi just wanted unpack her luggage and sleep away the bad day she had so far until it was time for lunch.
