Hi everyone! This is my first story and I really hope you like it. Please review and comment but please don't be mean! I like constructive criticism, but not when people are just being mean.

I see seven people on the landing doc and wish I had gotten there sooner. Dad had said that I should be 'fashionably late'. It's complete and utter bullshit if you ask me. After the helicopter lands in a cloud of dust someone opens my door for me and I step out into the bright sunlight, looking around for anything interesting when someone catches my eye. It's one of the other campers I think. He's looking at me with some disdain and some curiosity. He has chocolate brown skin that look insanely soft in the bright sunlight. His eyes are the same color as his skin. He's much shorter than me, but has broad shoulders and is stockier than I am.
"Here's our 6th camper. Thank you for gracing us with your presence" Rosie says sarcastically to me as I walk over to join the group. I snap out of my thoughts and force my gaze to Rosie. "Hello Kenji"
"You're very welcome. It was hard to find time in my schedule to be here," I jokingly tell Rosie and she rolls her eyes at me. I look around at the group and see another counselor with Rosie. I wonder what his name is.
"Okay everyone! Get into the back of the truck!" The other counselor instructs us. We all grab our stuff and pile into the back of the van. After telling names and giving nick names, (I figured out that the guy from earlier is named Darius)we are finally at the camp where we'll be staying. It's a tree-house. It's a really big tree-house.
"Last one up's a rotten egg!" The girl named Sammy calls out to the group as she runs inside. We all chase after her. I get into our room second, after the tall girl named Yasmina. I pick the bunk bed next to the big windows that's the farthest away from the door. I throw my stuff on the top bunk and then climb up after it.
I look across the room and see that Brooklynn has chosen the top bunk directly across from me, closest to the door. Underneath her Sammy is unpacking her suitcase and chatting about something or other. In between us Yasmina has chosen the top bunk with Ben stuck underneath her. He's organizing his fanny pack.
"Looks like Darius is going to be stuck with you Kenji!" Brooklynn calls to me from across the room.
"You say that like it's a bad thing Pinkie" I call back.
"Because it is" She says, turning back to her phone.
"You wound me!" I tell her and fold my hands over my chest and pretend to pout at her. She just sighs and shakes her head. When I turn back to look out the window I see Darius talking to the Counselors about something. I wonder what they're talking about. They're facing away from me so I can't read their lips. Too bad. I turn back to the group and start talking to Sammy about what we're going to do tomorrow.
"You're going to have to share with Kenji I'm afraid Darius" Brooklynn tells Darius as he walks into our shared room. He glances up and me then throws his stuff into the bunk below me and jumps into his bed. I send a confused glance at Brooklynn hoping she knows something but she just shrugs her shoulders. This was going to be a long summer.
