"Clawd, is the popcorn ready!?." Hal yelled from the main room.
It was the moment. All my friends were now at Hal's house to watch the first episode of the show. Gil had the drinks, Barry had the ice cream, Garth, Oliver and Manny had the food, and Clawd had the popcorn. But only someone was missing.
"Guys, do you think it's a good idea for her to be here?" Garth asked fearfully making Hal sigh.
"We don't have a choice, Garth. It's the only way the whole team won't notice, otherwise we're dead." Said the teenager with fear. The mere image of Jessica Cruz with a murderous aura and a medieval mace was more than enough to give him nightmares.
"Guys, the program is about to start!!." Manny yelled making everyone quickly take a seat but then they heard someone open the door. Umbrella had arrived with a backpack on her back.
"I've arrived late?." The girl asked before sitting down in an armchair.
"No, you're just in time." Hal said before turning up the volume so everyone could hear. On the other hand, umbrella opened her backpack before opening a caramel ice cream can, the girl smiled before taking out a spoon while the show began.
"Hello. We're broadcasting live for you from Camp Wawanakwa somewhere in Muskoka Ontario. I'm your host, Chris Mclean. Bringing you the first season of the hottest reality show right now." Chris said from a dock before walking through the area.
"This looks interesting." Gil said before drinking his soda while everyone was paying attention.
"This is what it's all about. Twenty-three campers signed up to spend eight weeks at this rundown old summer camp. They'll compete in challenges against one another, then face the judgment of their peers. Every three days one team will win a reward or see one of Its members walk the pier of shame, get on the loser's boat, and leave the island forever." Chris said with a smile before the camera switched places.
"Wait. An old and almost broken camp!? You told me it was going to be in a hotel!!." Umbrella yelled causing Hal, Barry and Oliver to tense up.
"Their fate will be decided here. In the dramatic campfire ceremonies where all but one of the campers will receive a marshmallow." Chris said before walking over to the campfire and then eating a marshmallow that was on a stick.
"In the end. There will only be one left who will be rewarded with vulgar tabloid fame and a small fortune, if we accept this they will spend it in a week." Chris said with a giggle before holding up a treasure chest.
"To survive they will have to fight..." Chris paused before pointing in another direction where an enraged bear was seen attacking a swarm of flies.
"Flies, brown bears..." The camera suddenly cut to a plate full of worms with a giant worm on the plate.
"And disgusting camp food." the host said as the giant worm waved at the camera before showing Chris back on the pier again.
"Who would succumb to the pressure? Let's find out in…" Chris paused before saying.
"TOTAL."
"DRAMA."
"ISLAND!."
The boys freaked out when Umbrella grabbed Hal's shirt with a murderous aura and clenched her spoon in anger.
"You told me he was going to be in a safe place!! And instead, you sent him to a horrible place full of weird people!!." The girl yelled making Oliver and Manny quickly help Hal but that didn't stop some of my friends from being upset as well.
"That's right Hal. You said the place was going to be safe!? Where the hell did you read about the hotel!?." Clawd yelled angrily. But inside him, the teenager prayed that his sisters would never know about the program.
"It said so on the main page of the show. Seriously." Hal said fearfully but the man was startled when Umbrella gripped the spoon like it was a knife.
"You better pray that Benja is safe, because if Parasoul or Widowmaker don't kill you, Marie and I will." Umbrella said with venom making Manny and Barry have to help Hal.
"Umbrella, relax. Benja will be fine now. Why don't you just relax and we all watch the show? Besides, it's just the introduction, Benja will most likely be with some very friendly people." Manny said with a smile as the little girl sighed before sitting back down with the rest of the others.
"Okay, we're back. It's time to meet our first victim, ahem. I mean, our first camper. By the way, if you see our campers a bit upset, it's because we promised they were going to stay at a hotel in five stars so if you notice them a little angry that's why." Chris said with a smile as the first jersey arrived.
"So in a five star hotel, huh? Hal." Gil said angrily while everyone looked angrily but especially Umbrella at the teenager while Hal just laughed shyly before continuing to watch the program.
The first camper appeared to be a farm girl.
"Beth, what's up?" The girl ran quickly with a huge smile to where Chris is before hugging him.
"It's amazing to meet you. Wow, you're so much shorter in person." Beth said but that triggered a small throbbing vein on the back of Chris's neck.
"Umm, thanks." Chris said with a forced smile as Beth walked to the other side of the pier. The host looked at some of the interns who were giggling quietly causing the teens to shut up before lowering his head. They weren't going to get their paycheck for a while.
My friends and Umbrella couldn't help but laugh at Beth's statement before continuing to watch the show.
"DJ." Cris smiled at a huge, caramel-skinned teenager.
"Hi, Chris McLean. What's up?" The teen waved with a smile before looking around in confusion.
"Are you sure it's here? Where is the jacuzzi?" DJ asked with confusion making Chris laugh.
"Hey buddy, this is it. Camp Wawanakwa." The host said as the teen grabbed his bags before walking over to where Beth is.
"Umm, it looked different on the registration form." DJ whispered before leaving their bags on the spot while Chris watched another camper arrive.
"It seems everyone fell for that lie." Barry said feeling sorry for DJ as they all nodded.
"Hello, Gwen." The teen walked over to Chris before looking around.
"Are we going to stay here?" The goth girl asked with some disgust, making Chris laugh.
"Oh no. You guys stay here, I'll stay where there's air conditioning. What do you think, huh?" Chris asked in a mocking tone making Gwen angry.
"That's not fair. They're going to spend their holidays in a filthy camp and that idiot will be full of luxuries, you bastard." Umbrella said angrily causing the boys to look at the girl in surprise.
"Umbrella. What a mouth." Heath said in surprise. But everyone had to admit that it was very unfair.
"I did not agree to do this." The goth girl said seriously making Chris take out some papers.
"Actually yes." Chris said but then he watched as Gwen grabbed the papers before tearing them up with a triumphant smile.
"Hahaha, checkmate." Manny said with a smile but everyone was still serious.
"Wait, friend." Deuce said seriously making everyone look at the television seriously and attentively.
"You know what's great about lawyers? That they make lots of copies." Chris said with a smile before showing copies of the papers that Gwen tore up.
"I will not stay here." Gwen said angrily before turning away with her bags.
"That's good. I hope you know how to swim because your transport already left." Chris said with a smirk as the goth girl watched the yacht leave.
"Fuck you." Gwen said venomously before walking over to where Beth and DJ were.
"Shit, that guy thought of everything." Olivier said with annoyance making everyone nod.
At that moment Chris heard music and saw the next camper dancing on the yacht before coming down with their bags as the yacht left.
"And here I thought Heath was bad at dancing." Umbrella said with a giggle making everyone laugh while the named teen was pouting.
"Chris Mclean. What's up, man?" The teen asked with a smile as he and the host bumped into his fists.
"The Geoff-Ster. Welcome to the island, man." Chris said with a smile making the camper smile.
"Thanks, man." Geoff said with a smile before walking over to where the others are.
"If they say 'Man' again I'm going to throw up." Gwen said with annoyance as the teen set down his bags before coming to stand next to DJ and greet him.
"Attention everyone. This is Lindsay." Chris said before introducing a blonde haired teenager. The girl had clothes that flattered her figure making him easily describe her as a bombshell.
"Wow, that girl is just as gifted as Cerebella." Umbrella said but then the girl broke out in a sweat seeing my friends looking at Lindsay in surprise.
"Gil, Clawd, Deuce, Manny. Should I remind you four of what your girlfriends would think if you saw them looking at that girl like that?" asked the girl with a smile making the four boys recover their composure with fear imagining the anger of her friends.
It's not bad at all." Chris whispered into the camera before the teen walked over to him.
"Hello, you look so familiar to me." Lindsay said with a smile making Chris laugh.
"I'm Chris McLean." Said the adult but then there was a deep silence which caused everyone to have an anime-style drop of sweat seeing that Lindsay looked confused.
"Umm, the host of the show?" Chris said making Lindsay look at everything in surprise.
"Oh, that's where I met you." Lindsay said causing everyone to break out in more anime style beads of sweat from the girl's statement.
"Um, yes." Chris said before seeing how the girl walked to where the rest of the team was.
"A lot of beauty, little brain." They all said at the same time with an anime-style bead of sweat.
"I admit that I may not be the smartest, but even I am not that absent-minded." Heath said making everyone nod.
The next camper made DJ and Beth look at her with some fear. The teenager appeared to be somewhat cold before she took off her glasses to look around her in disgust.
"Heather." Chris said but the girl walked away without saying a word with an annoyed look.
"Hello, it looks like we'll be your new companions for the next eight weeks." Beth said with a smile but the girl had accidentally been spitting which made Heather disgusted.
"That girl, I highly doubt she'll last eight weeks." Umbrella said as the girl continued with her ice cream.
"Hey, do you listen to rock music?" Gil asked while everyone was watching TV.
Suddenly everyone heard rock music and saw the next camper arriving with an amplifier. The teen had a serious face before tossing his bag onto the dock before stepping off the yacht.
"Duncan, friend." Chris greeted with a smile, but the teen was still upset.
"I do not like surprises." Duncan said angrily before clenching his fists but that didn't scare Chris.
"Yeah, your probation officer warned me about this. He also told me that if you did anything, I'd call him and he'd take you back to juvie." Chris said with a smile that he made Duncan roll his eyes before smiling.
"Alright." Duncan said with a smile before walking over to where the others are as he looks Heather up and down.
"A convict, a girl with big breasts and a short brain, and a girl with a colder temper than Abbey. Are those the 'friendly' people you said, Hal?" Umbrella asked making the teenager scratch the back of his neck.
"Okay, but the presenter says that if he does anything he'll be taken back to juvie." Hal said with a nervous smile before continuing to watch TV.
"See you at the campfire, precious." The punk boy said with a smile but it annoyed Heather.
"Fuck you, jerk." The girl said angrily as Duncan left her bag with the rest of the suitcases.
"I'll call my parents, they can't force me to be here." Heather said angrily but then Chris held up the contract. Phone calls were prohibited and she couldn't leave unless she was eliminated.
"Well, that makes sense too. How can you find a phone signal in an old camp." Deuce said making everyone nod.
At that moment they all heard the noise of an engine and saw the next yacht speeding by while the next camper was behind.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Tyler." The teen waved with a smile but accidentally lost the equipment by letting go of a hand causing the teen to start rolling through the water before slamming hard against the dock causing him to go flying. They all watched this in amazement before watching as Tyler fell into the bags causing one of the bags to go flying.
"Ugh, my shoes!." Everyone saw that Heather was now wet as the suitcase that flew off fell into the water causing the teenager to be completely drenched.
"What a great entry, congratulations!." Chris said with a smile as Tyler gave a thumbs up. The boys laughed and approved of the jump while Gwen just rolled her eyes.
Even though my friends winced from the impact, they couldn't help but laugh a little at Tyler's stunt.
Chris laughed at this but then the host felt a deep chill down the back of his neck before he saw the next camper behind him.
"Umm, welcome to camp, Harold." Chris said with a nervous smile as the teen looked around him.
"What are you looking at?" Beth asked quietly causing everyone to just shrug in confusion.
"Are you telling me that the show will be in this shitty camp and not on a stage?" Harold asked causing Chris to nod, which made the teenager celebrate.
"Super. That's favorable to my talents." Harold said with a smile but it sent chills through Chris.
"What kind of talents will he have?" Manny asked curiously but Umbrella shook her head.
"I don't even want to know. That boy is weird." The girl said before continuing with her ice cream.
"Umm, our contestant number nine. Trent." Chris said with a smile as a teenager arrived with their suitcases and a guitar-shaped case.
"Nice to meet you man. I saw you on that ice skating show, good job." Trent said with a smile making the host laugh as the two of them had a fist bump.
"Thanks, I knew I mastered that program." Chris said with a smile as Beth smiled before raising her hand which got everyone's attention.
"I saw that. One of the skaters dropped his lead partner, and they got immunity." The farm girl said with a smile.
"Oh, I heard about that the other day. In the end, it's said that the skater girl was arrested when she destroyed the locker room and her partner was crying on the floor. Wow, and it was all for a silver medal." Barry said causing everyone to be surprised.
"Great, I hope I fall on my head too." Harold said making Duncan and DJ chuckle at that statement.
"Me too." Lindsay said making everyone break out into an anime style bead of sweat.
"That girl really is innocent or foolish." Said Umbrella with an anime-style drop of sweat just like the rest of the others.
"Both." They all said at the same time while they continued watching television.
"So this is it?" Trent asked looking at the rest of the campers. Heather was drying her hair while Harold was picking his nose which caused the disgust of some campers.
"Very good." The musician said somewhat uncertainly before walking up to Gwen's side. The girl looked away in annoyance but glanced sideways at Trent as a small pink tint appeared on the cheeks of the two teens.
"Wow, I see. Looks like the cool goth girl found the musician of her dreams." Clawd said with a smile making everyone smile.
"You said it brother." Deuce said with a smirk as the two teen monsters gave a friendly fist bump.
The next camper was arriving, everyone could see that it was a girl and apparently she had a surf tablet with her before she got off the yacht.
"Hi how are things?." The girl asked with a smile as she walked over to where everyone was.
"Great, our surfer Bridgette. She's here." Chris said with a smile as Duncan rolled his eyes.
"Nice board. This isn't Malibu, dear." Said the boy in a mocking tone which saddened Bridgette.
"I thought we'd be on a beach." Said the surfer girl with some disappointment.
"We are on a beach." Suddenly, the camera zoomed in and showed a sea gabio on the beach with plastic earrings around its neck before it was swept away by the current.
"Too bad. That girl won't be able to enjoy the waves." Gil said with some sadness for Bridgette.
"It's true, they will be on a beach. But that place is full of garbage, it's as if it had never been cleaned." Garth said as everyone continued to watch the show.
"Ugh, great." Bridgette said with disappointment before grabbing the things from her.
"Okay, with those they are..." Chris was going to continue but suddenly he was hit with the edge of Bridgette's surfboard which caused the host to touch the spot in pain.
"Ugh, damn. That hurts." Chris said with annoyance while Bridgette walked to where the others were.
"Ugh, that hurts. But he served him right for leaving everyone in a shitty camp." Umbrella said making everyone nod.
"Hi guys." Bridgette said with a smile greeting the others.
"Hello, I'm Geoff." The partying teen said with a grin causing Bridgette to turn, causing Duncan and Harold to duck to avoid the hit with the surf tablet.
"Damn, be careful with that surfboard." Harold said with some annoyance as Bridgette greeted Geoff.
"Hello, I'm Beth." The farm girl said with a smile. That caused Duncan and Harold to have to duck for Bridgette's board again.
"Very good, we all met the surfer. Can we continue with the program?" Heather asked annoyed as the girl finished drying her hair.
"Someone didn't have their double cappuccino this morning." Duncan said in a mocking tone which annoyed Heather even more.
"Die, you jerk." The girl with poison said as the next camper arrived.
"With that attitude, I highly doubt he'll get far on the show." Oliver said with his arms crossed making Clawd and Hal nod.
"I'm not surprised if she's the first to go." Heath said before continuing to eat her popcorn.
"Our next, ugh. Camper is, Noah." Chris said with a smile as the host recovered from the shock before introducing the new camper.
"Did you get my report on my deadly allergies?" Noah asked in a deadpan way.
"Someone got it." Chris said with a giggle. Actually, he had thrown the report in the trash.
"Great, will we stay here?" asked the teenager still expressionlessly.
"No, it's your mom's house. And we're having a party." Duncan said with a smile but that didn't do anything for Noah.
"Great, nice piercings. Did you do these yourself?" the deadpan teen asked, but suddenly Duncan grabbed Noah's bottom lip.
"Yes, do you want one?" the teen Punk asked with a smile before pulling out a needle but that didn't scare Noah.
"Umm, no thanks. Can I have my lip back please?" Noah asked causing Duncan to let go of the teen's lip with a smile.
"Thank you." Was all Noah said before leaving his suitcase with the others.
"Wow, it's almost like I don't have emotions." Barry said in surprise looking at Noah.
"It's almost like Marie when she was a Skullgirl." Umbrella said remembering the bearer of the Skullheart.
They all looked at another yacht arriving with the next camper. She was a brown-skinned teenager and she greeted everyone with a smile.
"What is everyone saying Leshawna? It's already here." The girl said with a smile while Harold looked at everything in surprise.
"You better pack your bags and say goodbye to the prize because I'm here to win." Leshawna said with a smile as everyone else laughed at what the girl said except Heather.
"Hehehe, it looks like someone fell in love." Manny said looking at Harold.
"I like that girl, she's just as nice as Lucio." Hal said with a smile looking at Leshawna.
"What do you say friend, give me sugar doll." the girl said before high-fiving DJ.
"I've never seen a girl like you in real life." Harold said, that statement caught Leshawna's attention a lot.
"Sorry?." The girl asked with a smile looking at Harold.
"You're big, and loud." The nerd said but that only made Leshawna angry.
"What the fuck did you just say!?" The campers were very scared and shocked by the girl's sudden change of mood.
"Oh you didn't say it, you haven't seen anything skinny yet and I'll show you what's big." DJ and Bridgette quickly stopped the girl while Harold did ridiculous karate moves.
"What a way to make a first impression." Deuce said with some embarrassment.
"I hope Tatsu or hanzo don't see this, otherwise that boy is dead." Clawd said with some concern.
"Alright campers, calm down." Chris said seriously. Even though he loved the plot he was starting, he was too early. He would save the best for later.
Everyone relaxed as Leshawna looked over at Harold, the teen smiling sheepishly at the girl as the next yacht brought in two campers.
"Ladies. Katie and Sadie." Chris said with a smile introducing the two girls. One dark-skinned and the other somewhat chubby.
"Umm, I don't want to be rude but. Which one is Katie and which one is Sadie." Trent whispered to Gwen. The goth girl looked at the two and she didn't know what to say.
"The question doesn't offend. It's hard to tell them apart seeing that they both wear the same clothes." Umbrella said before eating ice cream.
"Ladies. Welcome to your new home for these eight weeks." Chris said with a smile as the camera zoomed in on the camp.
"If that place doesn't fall apart in an hour." Hal said with concern when he saw the condition of the cabins.
"Oh my gosh, Sadie. Look it's summer camp." Katie said with a smile as the girl pointed to the camp.
"That's great, I always wanted to go to summer camp." Sadie said with a smile. The two girls squealed with excitement before running to where the other campers were.
"There you have your answer." Gwen said as Sadie and Katie set their bags down with the others. At that moment a yacht passed quickly and left the next camper.
"Well that settles it. The skinny girl is Katie and her friend is Sadie." Umbrella said making everyone nod.
"Ezekiel. What's up?" Chris asked with a smile looking at the boy who had arrived.
"I think I see a bird." Ezekiel said in a goofy tone. They all stared at this with wide eyes as Trent laughed thinking it was a joke.
My friends were petrified and almost dropped their food upon hearing what Ezekiel said.
"I take back what I said about Lindsay. He's clearly an idiot, and she's just innocent." Umbrella said with surprise looking at the new camper.
"Very good. Listen buddy, I know you don't leave the house, that you've spent a lot of your life being homeschooled with a lot of weird people. But please, don't say anything and make sure you don't get eliminated so quickly. Understood ?." Chris asked with some concern as he made Ezekiel walk.
"Yes sir." The teen said before leaving with the rest of the others.
"That's it, wow." Gwen had no words to say as Ezekiel joined the others.
"I agree with what she said." Oliver said making everyone shake their heads.
"Cody. The Cod-ster. Welcome." Chris said with a smile announcing the arrival of the next camper.
"Man, excited to be here. Wow and see the girls are here, good." Cody said with a smile as he looked at the girls as he walked in a way that made some of the boys chuckle.
"He's just like Heath trying to get girls' attention with his guitar." Deuce said with a giggle as everyone laughed but the named teen looked away in embarrassment.
"Put it away, short arms." Leshawna said with a smile as Cody was about to flirt with her.
They all heard a hard stomp and saw the next camper arrive. Her look as well as her expression showed a lot of seriousness before walking down the pier to where the others are.
"Eva. Good, I'm glad you came." Chris said with a smile as the girl continued walking. Cody tried to say hello but when the girl dropped her suitcase everyone heard a loud metallic sound and suddenly Cody started jumping while he held her foot.
"Ouch, what do you have there? Weights?" Cody asked in pain as the girl continued to be serious.
"Yeah." It was all the girl said seriously making Cody step back due to fear.
"It's like Doris and Abbey rolled into one." said Umbrella with a drop of anime-style sweat just like everyone else.
"She's all yours, brother." Duncan said as the punk kid looked at DJ.
"WOOOO-HOOOOO!."
Everyone turned to see the teenager who arrived, he seemed to be very excited.
"Chris, what's up?" Asked the big guy with a smile.
"Owen. Welcome!" Chris said with a smile but suddenly the host was caught in a big bear hug from Owen out of happiness.
"Oh, man. This is so amazing, being here is so…ummm…" Owen trailed off trying to think of what to say.
"Amazing?." Gwen asked with a smile. Seeing Chris in a bear hug made the girl feel a little better.
"Yeah, that's it. Awesome. Wooo-hooo, are you going to be on my team?" Owen asked excitedly making the goth girl roll her eyes.
"Oh, I hope so." Said the girl feigning emotion making Owen even happier.
"WOOOO-HOOOOO!."
"That guy is very nice, you can see that he is very nice." Gil said with a smile looking at Owen.
"It's true. It looks like he's very friendly. Although from what I see he has a lot of strength in his hugs." Clawd said with a nervous smile looking at the big teen.
"You're done?." Chris asked with some difficulty and annoyance. The host could clearly feel his spine breaking.
"Sorry, man. It's just that I'm so, amazed." Owen said with a smile as Chris brushed off his clothes before smiling.
"Good. Because here comes Courtney." Chris said as the next camper arrived.
"Hello, you must be the other campers. My pleasure." Courtney said with a smile greeting the other campers before being surprised by a firm handshake from Owen.
"Well, she seems to be polite and formal." Garth said looking at Courtney.
"How are you? I'm Owen." the big guy said with a smile as he shook Courtney's hand causing her to nearly fall over.
"It's nice to meet you. O…oh, wow." Everyone saw the next camper. The girls couldn't help but blush and giggle at the sight of the teenager, on the other hand, Gwen and Heather seemed unaffected.
"Clawd, are you okay?" Deuce asked seeing her best friend so serious before relaxing.
"Sorry guys. Just looking at that guy reminded me of Draculaura's ex-boyfriend. Ugh, I still think I should have kicked his ass the first moment I saw him." The werewolf said seriously causing Manny to put a hand on the teen's shoulder.
"That's already in the past Clawd, relax." Said the Minotaur boy making the werewolf relax.
"This is Justin. Welcome to the island, friend." Chris said as he and the teen bumped their fists.
"Thank you, this is the best." Justin said with a smile.
"Just so you know, we've chosen you based solely on your beauty." Chris said with a smile, but Justin just shrugged with a smile.
"I can live with that." Justin said without much importance before walking to where the others are.
"I like your pants." Owen said with a smile as Justin kept walking.
"Thanks my friend." Said the teenager still keeping his smile.
"Why do they look so worn? Did you buy them like this?" Owen asked with a smile as he looked at Justin.
"No. I only had them for a while." Said the teenager still smiling before joining the others.
"Oh great. Ugh, stupid." Owen said before hitting himself on the head due to his foolishness.
My friends couldn't help but laugh when they heard what Owen had said about Justin's pants.
"Hey everyone, it's Izzy!" Chris yelled as the next contestant was arriving.
"Hello Chris!. Hello, hello!." Izzy suddenly tripped over the yacht's safety rail causing the girl to hit the dock hard.
"Oh dude, that hurts." Hal said with a wince just like everyone else.
"Ugh, that was wrong." Tyler said before starting to laugh as Courtney ran over to where Izzy was.
"Guys. She could be hurt." the girl said worriedly before helping Izzy up onto the dock. Courtney was going to say something but the girl had to cover herself when Izzy started shaking like a dog.
"That felt so. Yummy! Except for the part when I got hit, are you at camp? Will we do crafts? Do they have glitter? What time will they have lunch?" Izzy asked with a huge smile before laughing a little.
"That is a very good question." Owen said with a smile but then they saw Chris laugh.
"Wow, that girl is just as crazy as Junkrat. Just thinking of the two of them together now scares me." Umbrella said making everyone shiver as they imagined Junkrat and Izzy together.
"Hahaha, calm down everyone. Here comes our last camper." Chris said with a smile as the last yacht arrived.
"Very good friend. We're here." I leaned out slowly but I only heard a laugh and saw an adult approach where I was.
"Calm down friend. Come, don't be shy." Chris said with a smile as he shook my hand. He took the adult's hand shyly and hesitated before slowly getting off the yacht causing the campers to look at this in shock and amazement.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Benjamin Escudero." Chris said with a smile as I looked at the rest of the campers.
"Oh friend. Now it's Benja's turn, I hope everyone doesn't hate him for being a Kitsune." Barry said with concern as they all watched intently on TV.
"Come on, don't be shy. Go say hi to your friends." Said the host with a smile causing me to walk slowly to where the others are.
"Um, hello." I said sheepishly as my fox ears slowly lowered but then I was surprised when Owen shook my hand.
"Nice to meet you. Wow, those ears and tails are amazing, did you make them yourself?" Owen asked curiously as Duncan laughed.
"Why don't you just play them, Owen?" Chris asked with a smile which made me blanch. Before I could say anything the teen touched my Kitsuné ears.
"Oh friend." Garth whispered with concern as everyone watched nervously waiting for Owen's reaction.
"Wow. They're so soft, I can almost think they're real." Owen said with a chuckle.
"It's because they're real." They all seemed surprised but then Owen noticed something.
"Wait. Wow, these ears seem to be on the head. Like it's not a costume." The big guy said in surprise making Chris laugh.
"Campers. Meet Benjamin Escudero, a Kitsuné from Metropolis." Chris said which shocked everyone a lot.
"Wait, metropolis? You mean that crazy city where they say monsters and humans live together? Man, I thought it was all a lie." Duncan said in surprise making the host laugh.
"It's no wonder everyone thinks Metropolis is a weird place. I mean, there are omnics on the streets, monsters walking among us. Everyone could easily call our city a myth. I'm so glad they haven't at least scared that Benja is a monster." Clawd said making everyone nod.
"Please. Nice try Chris, you're obviously a cosplay-obsessed idiot. I'm sure this is just accessories, extensions, and contacts." Heather said before grabbing one of my ears causing me to scream.
"Ouch! It hurts!." I screamed in pain and suddenly everyone saw electricity coursing through my body before seeing how heather was electrocuted and sent backwards by the electric shock.
"That bitch deserves it. Grasping one of Benja's ears so roughly, that reaction is to be expected." Umbrella said angrily while everyone was also upset or smiling at what happened.
"Oh voltage, I'm so sorry. But that hurt a lot and my body reacted like that." I said with concern while I was massaging my ear to ease the pain.
"That was amazing. What other things can you do?" Trent asked with a smile as everyone looked at me.
"Before we continue. We need a photo for promotions, so everyone gather in the center of the pier." Chris said making everyone gather, I looked at everything with a raised eyebrow before doing the same and standing next to Owen.
"Very good everyone. On the count of three. 1...2..." Chris was going to take the picture but then he noticed something.
"Oops, sorry. I forgot to take the lens out." Chris said before taking the lens out of the camera.
"Very good. Hold those poses. And, 1...2...Oh wait, memory full." Chris said with a giggle before deleting some photos.
"Oh come on. My cheeks are starting to ache." Leshawna said with annoyance at having been smiling for too long.
"Very good. Everyone say, Wawanakwa. 1...2...3!." Chris yelled before getting ready.
"Wawanakwa...AH!" At that moment we all fell into the water because the pier had been destroyed by the weight.
"Alright campers. Go dry off, I'll be waiting for you by the campfire." Chris said with a smile before leaving as we all looked at each other.
"Everyone is fine?." I asked worriedly as other campers poked their heads out of the water again.
"We're all fine, man. Thanks for worrying." Geoff said with a smile before we all started swimming to shore.
"Well, at least no one got hurt, huh?" Hal asked nervously seeing the horrified expressions on all my friends.
"My God, I hope Jessica never finds out about this." Said the teenager with fear. He could already imagine the Green Lantern girl chasing him with an axe.
We had all dried ourselves and changed our clothes. Now we were sitting at the campfire and some were standing due to lack of seats, I looked at the rest of the people in confusion but quickly had to look away when Heather gave me an annoyed look.
"This is Camp Wawanakwa. Your new home for the next eight weeks. The campers around you will be your companions, competitors, even your friends. Got it?" Chris said as Harold tried to say something to Duncan but the nerd fell silent as the punk kid raised his fist at him.
"Well, at least there are some nice people, I guess Benja will be fine." Garth said with a nervous smile.
"Whoever can last the longest on Drama Island without getting eliminated wins. A fabulous hundred thousand dollars!" Said the presenter with a smile making many look competitive but I was somewhat confused and curious.
"I hope Benja forgives us. If I had told him that I would go to a television program to relax, he would never have accepted." Deuce said sheepishly.
"Excuse me, how are we going to sleep? I want a bunk under hers." Duncan said with a smile jerking a thumb at heather.
"They're not mixed, are they?" The girl asked with some concern.
"No. The girls sleep on one side, and the boys on the other." Chris said with a smile. But then they noticed Lindsay raise her hand.
"Thank God, if Parasoul or the girls find out that Benja slept with any of those girls they'll be dead." Umbrella said before continuing to eat.
"Excuse me, Kyle. Can I have a cabin with an ocean view because I'm pretty?" The girl asked with an innocent smile but he didn't notice a throbbing vein on the back of Chris' neck.
"Oh, well you are. But it doesn't work like that, and. I'm Chris." Said the host with some annoyance.
"Yes, she is too innocent." All my friends said at the same time while shaking their heads.
"And I'll get hives, it's true." Sadie said with concern as Katie nodded.
"This can not be happening." Gwen said angrily but then the girl and Tyler were caught in a bear hug by Owen.
"Oh come on guys. This is going to be just like a great sleepover." Owen said with a smile as he continued to hold the two campers.
"At least you don't have to sleep next to him." Tyler said before pointing at Duncan. The teen was hitting the deer's head, but then felt something touch him, causing Duncan to let go of the deer and look around as the animal ran away. But he never noticed that a root was slowly hiding under my pants.
"At least Owen tries to bring excitement to the place. I don't really like that Punk boy though." Clawd said with some seriousness looking at Duncan.
"Here's the deal. We're going to divide you into two teams, when you hear your names stop over there." Chris said before starting to name the first team.
"Gwen."
"Trent."
"Heather."
"Cody."
"Lindsay."
"Beth."
"Katie."
"Harold."
"Noah."
"Justin."
"Leshawna."
"Officially. You will be known as. The Screaming Gophers." Chris said before handing Harold a flag with the team logo on it.
"It's impressive is like. Impressive." Harold said with a smile as he looked at the flag.
"Wait a minute. Where's Sadie?" Katie asked with concern when noticing the absence of her friend.
"Poor girl, she's going to be separated from her best friend. But they'll most likely get over it." Umbrella said with a smile looking at the TV.
"And the others, stand over here." Chris said before naming the last team.
"Geoff."
"Bridgette."
"DJ."
"Tyler."
"Sadie."
"Izzy."
"Courtney."
"Ezekiel."
"Duncan."
"Eva."
"Owen."
"And Benjamin."
"From now on. You will be known as, The Killer Bass." Chris said before handing the flag to Owen.
"WOOO-HOOO. I'm a Bass." Said the teenager with a smile making me laugh.
"It seems that Benja already likes Owen. Although, the teams are somewhat unbalanced." Hal said seeing the two teams ready.
"Wait a minute! Chris, there are twelve of them. This is unfair!." Heather yelled angrily making Chris laugh.
"Oops, I didn't notice." Chris said with a giggle but that annoyed Heather even more.
"But Katie is a Gopher, I have to be a Gopher too." Sadie said through tears but then the girl saw Courtney approaching with a smile.
"Sadie, right? Come on, you're going to be fine." The girl said with a smile before leading Sadie away with the rest of the team.
"This is so unfair. I miss you so much, Katie." Sadie said sadly as the girl greeted her friend.
"I miss you too." Katie said sadly as the girl walked to where her team is.
"Forget what I said. Poor Katie and Sadie, but that doesn't mean it's the end of their friendship. They'll still be at camp together." Umbrella said looking at her best friends.
"Very good campers. All of you and your teams will be monitored in all public areas throughout this competition." Chris said before showing us what appeared to be an outhouse.
"From here. You can share your biggest secrets on daily video. Let people at home know what you think or just blow off steam." Chris said with a smile showing the inside of the latrine. The smell was horrible but we did see a built in camera in the small bathroom.
Gwen:
"Umm, alright. So far I'm stinking." Gwen said in a deadpan manner.
"I agree with her." Umbrella said with some annoyance.
Lindsay :
"I don't get it, where is the cameraman." Lindsay said but she never noticed that the girl was facing away from the camera.
They all fell backwards like anime from Lindsay.
Me:
"Umm, well. Honestly, I don't understand why I'm here. This was supposed to be a fishing day with my friends. Is this part of some surprise?" I asked with confusion looking at the camera.
Umbrella looked seriously at my friends while they looked away with whistles or nervous smiles.
?:
The camera was just showing a duck putting on lipstick.
"Huh?" My friends were confused by what they saw.
Owen:
"Hello everyone. Look at this, I have something very important to tell you." Owen said with some seriousness before farting. That made the teenager laugh.
My friends got a little laugh about that but they were also a little grossed out by what Owen did.
"Okay, any questions?" Chris asked curiously. At that moment he raised his hand hoping that the host would listen. I need to know why you were here.
"Great. Now let's go find your cabins." Chris said with a smile before leading us to a part of the camp to see two rather old but still standing cabins.
"Gophers, you will go to the east cabin. Bass in the west cabin." Chris said with a smile as we all walked to the cabins with our suitcases.
The interior looked old and a bit run down, the bunk beds were a bit dusty but looked good.
"Bunk beds? Aren't they very camping?" Heather asked watching everything with a raised eyebrow.
"That's the idea, genius." Umbrella said with annoyance before drinking some soda.
"That's the idea, genius." Gwen said before pushing Heather aside to go into the cabin.
"Shut up goth girl." Heather said angrily as Lindsay entered but also one other person.
"Well, I think I'll sleep in the top bunk. Who will sleep with me?" I asked curiously looking around the room.
"I'll sleep downstairs if you want." DJ said with a smile making me smile.
"Sure, no problem." I said smiling before leaving my things and then going outside for a moment.
"Where are the plugs? I need to plug in my flat iron." Lindsay said as she and Gwen left the cabin, but she also saw that Cody seemed to be stuffing dirt and some grass into her mouth.
"There are some in the communal baths." Chris said before showing the restrooms that were nearby.
"Communal baths? But I'm not Catholic." Lindsay said but that made us all break out in an anime-style bead of sweat.
"Not communion. Communal." Said the host with some confusion by what Lindsay said.
"It means we're going to bathe together, idiot." Gwen said annoyed but it brought tears to Lindsay's eyes.
"Oh no. Come on!" Lindsay screamed loudly causing me to cover my fox ears tightly while Gwen quickly covered her ears.
Everyone couldn't help but cover their ears as Clawd began to howl in pain at Lindsay's yelling.
"I'm glad we guys are alone in the cabin, if you know what I mean." Owen said but then the teen noticed that everyone was looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"I mean, no! I mean, I really like girls but I don't want to sleep with them." The teenager said, but he only made the boys look at this with even more confusion.
"Aha, whatever you say friend." Duncan said before going back inside but Owen still looked nervous seeing how everyone was still looking at him.
"No wait!." Owen yelled as he tried to explain what he was trying to say to the rest of our team.
"Poor Owen." Deuce said but I can't help but laugh along with the rest of the others.
"Hi Chris, there is some kind of guide in this installation." Geoff asked curiously as Bridgette entered the cabin from the girls' side.
"You are all 17 and almost 18 years old. Old enough to be camp counselors. So besides me, all of you will be unsupervised. Now, you have half an hour to unpack and meet in the main hall. Starting now." Chris said with a smile as he looked at his watch.
"Cool." Geoff said but suddenly we all covered our ears when we heard a loud squeal before going to the other team's cabin
Again everyone had to cover their ears as Clawd howled in pain again.
"God, that girl really has lungs." Manny said looking at the television like everyone else.
"How that white girl screams." Leshawna said as we all watched Lindsay perch on a stool while the girl stared in horror at a cockroach.
"What is that!? Kill him, kill him!." The girl yelled but suddenly we all heard another female scream and saw DJ jump onto a bunk but unfortunately the bed broke under the weight of the giant teenager.
"That was my bed." Gwen said with some bitterness in her voice. Everyone started trying to kill the cockroach but I just put my hand down before grabbing it.
"Too bad for Gwen, but it's funny that DJ is afraid of a harmless cockroach." Umbrella said with a giggle.
"Yuck, what are you going to do with that!?" Heather yelled but they saw that I just left the roach outside to go away.
"Yuck, don't you dislike having that thing in your hand?" Lindsay asked as the girl got off the stool.
"Not really. I already had a lot of insects on me, I got used to it." I said looking at the girl.
"What, have you been living in a cave the whole time?" Beth asked curiously making me laugh.
"It offends a bit, but the truth is that Benja is always with insects. Widowmaker's spiders, the insects from Cleo's or Nefera's Egyptian curses. He's used to it." Deuce said receiving a nod from everyone.
"No. I'll just say that insects hardly make an impression on me anymore." I said smiling before leaving the cabin to go unpack my things but then I saw Duncan with an axe.
"Umm, the cockroach is gone. I guess the ax isn't necessary." I said with a sheepish smile before leaving. Duncan just shrugged before looking at the ax with a smile.
"An Axe? That's too much for a simple little cockroach." Umbrella said with a nervous smile.
We were all now in the main hall in a long line. In front of us was Chef with some trays full of food, but for the others the food did not give them much confidence.
"Listen very well. I serve food three times a day, and you will eat three times a day. Take your trays, and put your butts on the chair!." Chef shouted furiously causing some to be scared.
"And here I thought that Junker Queen was the only scary one. That man is just like her." Barry said nervously, shrinking back in the chair like the others.
"Excuse me, will we eat the three important food groups?" Beth asked with concern as Chef plated some sort of meat before Harold and the farm girl grabbed the trays from him.
"Yes, because it gives me hypoglycemia, otherwise I eat a lot of sugar." Harold said but that caused Chef to have a throbbing vein.
"You'll have enough of SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!." Chef yelled causing Harold and Beth to run to his table.
"Forget what I said. He's scarier." said my sprinter friend nervously.
"Silly." Owen whispered to Noah making them both chuckle but…
"What did you say!?." Owen and Noah flinched as the cook jerked a finger at them to come over.
"Come closer fatty, I didn't hear you." Chef said with a venomous tone that made the two teens flinch as Owen grabbed the tray from him.
"Umm, I didn't say anything important." The teen said with a nervous smile before quickly leaving.
"Surely not." The cook said seriously as Noah reached the counter.
"You scrawny. Give me your plate." Chef said seriously before giving Noah more food. The teenager watched in disbelief as the food seemed to return to the ladle, but the cook shook the ladle and the meat returned to the plate.
"That meat or whatever it is. How is it possible that I can do that?" Umbrella said with surprise and insecurity looking at Chef's food.
"Not surprising. It's just like the food we get at our school." Heath said making my monster friends nod as Barry, Hal, Garth, Oliver and Umbrella shuddered.
"What does it say, friend?" Leshawna looked at Eva but the girl gave Leshawna a cold look causing her to stay quiet but she also got annoyed as the bodybuilder girl grabbed the tray from her before leaving.
"Oh, that's how they're going to do things?" Leshawna asked annoyed but...
"FOLLOWING!." Leshawna nearly jumped in shock when Chef yelled angrily. The girl grabbed the tray before leaving.
"Umm, excuse me. My nutritionist says I can't eat any white sugar, flour, or dairy." Lindsay said as she and Gwen were now at the counter. On the other hand, Chef simply swatted a fly that he was flying with his hand.
"I don't even know whether to call that food." Oliver said with some nausea.
"I don't think that's a problem." Gwen said before looking at the food. Actually, the goth girl was wondering if this was food.
"Great..." was all Lindsay said before leaving. Gwen was going to do the same but the girl noticed that her food was moving.
"Well. I hate to be predictable and complain on the first day but, I think my food just moved." Gwen said as the girl looked at the cook. Chef just grabbed a meat maso before giving a snap causing some meat to stain her face and also the goth girl's face.
"Done, fixed." Gwen said fearfully before she went to her table.
"This is not so bad." My companions were very surprised, disgusted, or just plain gobsmacked to see that I was eating the meat without showing disgust.
"Dude, how can you eat this?" Tyler asked with surprise. The athlete tried to touch the food with his fork but the meat seemed to have life.
"It's not horrible. It tastes like the meatloaf they serve at my school." I said smiling as I finished eating but my friends seemed to be slightly green.
"How can Benja eat that disgusting thing?" Oliver asked disgustedly but that annoyed Manny.
"Are you implying that we eat garbage?" The Minotaur asked before picking up Oliver's shirt which startled the teen actor.
"No, no, not my dear friend. I'm just a little impressed by the food, that's all, not that I'm saying you guys eat garbage." Oliver said fearfully making Manny let go.
"He's a monster. Surely he's used to this by now." Courtney said but then we all saw Chris walk in.
"Hello campers. Welcome to the main room." The host said with a smile.
"Hey man. Can we order pizza?" Geoff asked. But suddenly a knife flew past the teenager only for the object to stick near the doorway.
"Wow, calm down old man. That thing almost killed me." Geoff said fearfully as Chef seemed to have another knife ready to throw.
"Idiot. Also, how can a pizza get to the middle of nowhere?" Umbrella asked with her arms crossed while my friends shook their heads.
"Alright campers. Finish eating, your first challenge will start in an hour." Chris said with a smile before leaving.
"What do you think he makes us do?" Katie asked with fear but the girl felt a hand on her shoulder making the girl look at DJ.
"Don't worry, it's our first challenge. How hard can it be?" the teenager asked with a carefree smile.
"It's true what DJ says. It's the first chapter, how bad will it be?" Hal asked with a smile but then he and everyone looked in horror at the following.
DJ was quick to eat his own words. Right now we were all on top of the mountain on the island in our bathing suits.
"Oh shit..." was all that was heard since now I'm really worried. Where am I and what kind of program am I on?
"Holy God." Barry whispered fearfully when the chapter ended.
"It must be a mistake, possibly a simple edit, Benja won't jump from a precious, right?" Hal asked nervously but then the teen freaked out as Umbrella began to be covered in a murderous aura.
"Hal Jordan. You're dead!!". Umbrella yelled at the top of her lungs before launching herself at the teenager.
"Umbrella, relax, everything will be fine, Benja will be fine!!"
"Wait, Umbrella please forgive me!!"
"Wait, what are you doing with that knife! Umbrella stop it!!"
So far today's chapter. The truth is that I wanted to do this chapter for fun until I can do the next chapter of the story, still I hope you liked it.
I hope everyone has a good day, afternoon or night. We'll leave later, goodbye dattebayo.
