Amaya woke in the morning to the sound of the other girls moving around, she had always been a light sleeper. She had to be, after living in the orphanage for so long, you could never tell when the person who was moving was planning trouble or not. She kept her eyes closed as she listened to them. One of them started moving towards her bed and, though Amaya could feel that the girl meant no harm, she didn't want to chance the other girl touching her. So she snapped her eyes open and turned her head towards the approaching girl.
"Oh!" Sora jerked back from where she had been leaning over to see if Amaya was up "You're awake." Amaya sat up, nodding, she glanced outside; it was still rather dark.
"Yeah, I'm a light sleeper" Amaya explained as she stretched and stood up.
"Oh," said Sora "Well, we were just going to head out and explore, since today is just for getting to know each other and explore the area. We didn't mean to wake you…"
Amaya shook her head "It's fine," she reassured "I would have woken up soon anyways. I'm an early riser."
Sora nodded "Ok," She said "Well, Mimi and I are heading to get some breakfast." Amaya nodded and they left. Once they were gone Amaya quickly went through the usual morning rituals that everyone went through; she changed into another thin, long sleeve, blue shirt and jeans, making sure that her gloves were in place, and brushed her teeth. Then she set to work undoing her braid, careful of the small, wooden spikes she kept woven into it. Once it was unwoven her hair hung as a long, black curtain that reached all the way down to her mid-back. It was her only real vanity. She brushed it through, clearing it of any snarls, before re-braiding it, carefully re-weaving the spikes back into it. Once she was done she climbed onto her bed and sat, cross legged in the center of it. She took a deep breath and tried to center herself. She had been off-balance since she had left for this camp and she didn't like it, it felt like she was losing control of herself. She wasn't sure how long she sat there, centering herself, but when she opened her eyes again the sun was rising rather high in the sky. She stood up; feeling more relaxed than she had been for several days.
Amaya grabbed her bag and headed out to get something to eat. She was glad to find no one at breakfast; everyone must have already been there or was still in bed. She grabbed an apple and a couple granola bars and stuck them in her bag before heading over to a large, sturdy tree. She turned her bag so it hung behind her and climbed up the tree to the highest branch that she was certain would hold her. She maneuvered herself so she was comfortable and pulled out her breakfast and got to eating.
Once Amaya was done she stayed up in the branches and just observed the other campers as they went through their day. Izzy came out of the cabin just long enough to get breakfast before going back inside, to his computer Amaya would assume. She had been surprised that Tai hadn't exploded from the amount of food he stuffed in his face; he just kept going back to the table for more! But after he was done he ran off to play in the river for a while. Both Matt and T.K. were at the edge of the river and Amaya could see T.K. excitedly pointing out things in the water. Mimi was sitting near the fire pit making a bracelet from the looks of it while Sora sat on the porch of the girl's cabin also making a bracelet. Joe had gone off with Mr. Fujiama for a while and come back carrying a large bag that Amaya recognized as the emergency food. After a while Amaya closed her eyes and drifted off to the sound of the other children playing.
