Chapter 2 ~ Introductions
Ebony placed her bag on the bed. She would be having her own tent, which didn't bother her as she was an only child and never shared a room. After getting unpacked she exited the tent, nearly jumping seeing almost all the campers crowded around her. "Hello." She said shyly. It wasn't that Ebony was introverted, she was just startled at the attention. All the campers, excluding Max, Nerf, and Preston, shouted, inviting her to talk about their interests.
Gwen plowed through the horde, pushing kids aside. "Shit, give her space, would you." She looked at the girl, understanding her discomfort. "It's lunch time anyways. Everyone to the mess hall. You can talk to Ebony when she comes." The campers groaned at the inconvenience but did as the counselor said.
"Thanks Gwen." The violet headed girl said. "It's nothing. Just try to stay out of trouble, this camp is full of it." Gwen was undoubtedly tired of dealing with the camper's crap.
Ebony took note of that.
"Will do." She replied. David's co-counselor walked off. Ebony decided to head to the mess hall, getting a grasp on how chaotic this camp was.
She opened the door, silently slipping in the cafeteria. She grabbed a tray off the counter, glancing at the burnt chicken nuggets with a nasty odor, she decided she would just eat one of the protein bars she stashed away in her bag. Ebony wasn't sure where to sit, but spotted a hyper teal haired girl smiling at her. She settled on sitting next to her and her two friends.
"Hi, I'm Nikki!" The girl exclaimed. Ebony smiled back at the enthusiasm. "Ebony." She stated. "Are you gonna eat that?" Nikki looked down at her tray. The purple headed camper laughed. "You can have it." The pink eyes widened as she stuffed the food in her mouth.
After finishing the nuggets, she started again. "Wanna go on adventure with me after lunch? Max and Neil never really want to." Ebony was about to respond when Max stopped talking to his brunette friend and looked at the new kid. "The fuck!?" He spat. "Nikki did you invite her to our table?" Nikki crossed her arms. "That's no way to talk to my new friend." A slight blush came across Ebony's face. She didn't expect to make a friend this early. This was going better than expected.
Nikki turned back to the girl. Waiting for a response. "Umm, yeah. That sounds like fun!" She smiled, a bit nervous. Max narrowed his eyes. Nikki, glossing over her cynical friend, looked at the brown haired boy. "Neil, you joining us?" She asked. "What the hell, I don't have anything else to do, sound good to me!" Neil said. Nikki jumped out of her seat. "This is gonna be awesome!"
