Chapter 9: Cabin Mates

As some of the pack members went to different cabins, each of them would meet different types of campers that are sharing the same cabins for the duration of Camp Harmony. On one cabin, Marcus walked towards the bunk and sets his bags down on the floor and as he gets himself settled, he couldn't help but hear someone strumming guitar from above Marcus' bunk and he slowly poked his head up and saw a camper; male, 18 years old, black and grey striped fur, black hair with green and blue highlights with a spiky mohawk hidden underneath a grey beanie on his head, stands at about 5'7, weighing at 187 pounds, blue eyes, wearing a dark blue T-shirt and dark black skinny jeans and black and white WhoVerse sneakers; sitting and playing his guitar a little bit.

Marcus blinked his eyes at this and felt captivated by this kid's guitar-playing skills and he blinks his eyes a little bit, not knowing that the kid with the beanie is staring at him very awkwardly for staring and the kid with the beanie said, "Why are you looking at me?"

Marcus eventually snapped out of it and realized what had transpired and replied, "I'm sorry. It's just...I've never noticed you sitting at a top bunk playing with the guitar."

"And you're captivated by it...why?" asked the kid with the beanie.

"Well, I sorta heard you play your guitar when I was starting to unpack my stuff on my bunk just now." Marcus answered.

The kid with the beanie looked at Marcus for a second and realized that some of his stuff is on the bottom bunk which would entail the fact that he's sharing the same bunk for this camp and he got down from the top bunk and onto the floor and said, "You new here?"

"No. I've been here for a couple of years now. Every summer at Camp Harmony is pretty cool." Marcus answered.

"This is my second time here." the kid with the beanie replied.

That surprised Marcus a little to know that this kid is a half newbie at this camp and he said, "Amazing. How was it last year?"

"It was okay, but they had those EDM stuff that just went in over everyone's head. I can't stand that type of music. I mean, what doofus makes money for just pushing buttons at a turntable?" asked the kid with the beanie.

"That's still a good question." Marcus answered.

The kid with the beanie nodded his heas in agreement and he said, "My name's Casey Griffin."

"I'm Marcus."

Casey shook Marcus' hand a little and both of them were smiling with each other and Casey said, "I've been sort of a social loner at this camp last year and I wanted to break that loner stereotype that I have been carrying. It's just kinda hard for me to do that though because I'm used to being called a freak, emo, gay dude and stuff."

"I know what you mean. Most people think that I'm gay, but I'm not. I'm just bi. There's a difference." Marcus replied.

Casey blinked his eyes in surprise that his new friend is bi and he said, "You're bi?"

Marcus just realized he had revealed that he's bi and just bit his lip nervously, thinking that Casey is gonna back away and be weirded out by it, but then Casey responded by saying, "I'm bi too."

"Are you serious?" asked Marcus.

"Yeah, I am. I just got out of a twisted relationship with my girlfriend after just 5 months because she had already figured out I was bi way before that." Casey responded.

"Ouch." Marcus said.

"Yeah...but she wasn't really that much of a girlfriend anyway. I prefer guys so..." Casey added.

"I'm that way too, you know." Marcus answered.

Not long after, Max, Manny and Jared walked to the same cabin Marcus and Casey are in right now and settled into their bunks and some other cabin mates came in; most of them ages from 16-19 and Jared said, "Hey, Marcus. I see you found a roomate."

"Funny, guys." Marcus said, sarcastically.

"I'm Max and this is Manny and Jared." Max said, introducing himself.

"I'm Casey."

In another cabin, we see some familiar faces; Chris, Brent, Lars and Dustin coming in as they are excited about coming to Camp Harmony and Chris took a deep breath and said, "Feels so good to be back home."

As Dustin heads to where he can find one cabin, he stopped and stared at this one guy; an 18 year old with brown and black fur, a spiky mohawk with the fringe covering half of his left eye along with a red and white striped beanie on his head, wearing just basketball shorts and no shirt with tattoos on his arm, blue eyes, stands at 5'9 and weighing at 177 pounds; walking by and Dustin blinked his eyes and just became enamored by this guy and when the guy bent down to pick up something, he stared at the guy's underwear crack and he just froze for a second before he walks away, trying to catch up with the rest.

But Dustin became completely interested in that guy and they haven't even met yet, but remains hopeful that he'll get the chance to. As he walks by, he noticed Jojo coming out of one cabin and is surprised to see him there and when Jojo turns around to see Dustin there, he immediately comes out and said, "Dude! You're here!"

"Yeah, I'm here! Me, Chris, Brent and Lars." Dustin replied.

"Where are they?" asked Jojo.

Just then, Chris, Brent and Lars showed up and they piled on Jojo and hugged him, feeling so excited that the pack's all here and Lars said, "Dude, are the rest of them here?"

"Yeah, they're here." Jojo replied.

"Man, this is gonna be one heck of a summer!" Chris said, excited.

As the pack comes out of their respective cabins, they were so happy to see Dustin, Chris, Brent and Lars come to Camp Harmony and it feels like their summer is just getting started from the minute they walked in the cabin woods.
