When Y/N was 16 years old her mom thought it was a good idea to send her to a summer camp for teenagers to young adults. Now that may sounds like a fun thing, but Y/N was always very shy and very insecure at first, I guess that's what 10 long years of being bullied on the regular does to a person.. As you can imagine going out and meeting a insanely large group of new people was a pretty terrifying thing to her. So when she was on her way in a bus to the summer camp surrounded by other camp-goers she was in full panic mode thinking things like; WHAT AM I DOING? I DON'T WANT TO GO! WHAT IF THEY'RE ALL GONNA BE MEAN TO ME?! there however was no turning back now.. Luckily it was only a week, she would survive.. Right?

When the bus arrived at her home for the coming week y/n was overwhelmed by the amount of people that were already there. Luckily a camp staff member came up to her soon enough and told her she was placed into a smaller group with 8 other people from around her age. Still scary but focusing on meeting 8 new people sure was a lot less scary than having to meet at least 100 people all at once. The counselor also showed Y/N where her room for the week was.

When Y/N stepped into her bedroom for the week she saw 3 pairs of eyes looking at her. One of the girls jumped up from her bed and said; "Hey! I don't think we've met yet? I'm Madison! That's Savannah" she said while pointing towards the blonde girl sitting on one of the beds, Savannah gave you a smile and a small wave. "And that's Jadah" she said while gesturing towards the girl making her bed. "hi!" Jadah said with a big smile. I took Madison's held out hand and shook it. "Hey nice to meet you all." You smiled shyly. "You're right it's my first time here so I haven't really met anyone yet.. My name is Y/N by the way." " Nice to meet you too Y/N!" Madison said. "So since you're sleeping in our room I bet that means you're also in our group, right?" "Oh.. eh.. I'm not sure..?" "I replied. Is that usually how this works? Have you 3 been here before?" I asked while claiming my bed for the week. "Yeah!" They all said at the same time, sounding very excited. This time it was Savannah who continued to speak; "I've been coming here every summer since I was 13. That was also the year I met Madison and Jadah and the rest of our group, who you will meet soon enough. We actually have become really close friends over the years so we keep coming back here to see each other. You're gonna love our group!" I smiled at her excitement. "I sure hope so." "So.. Jadah began, how did you end up coming here?" "Honestly? I said, my mom thought it would be a brilliant idea to send me here, to meet some new people.." "You don't sound very excited about it." Jadah noticed. "You picked up on that huh? You're right.." I quickly explained to the girls that I'm very shy and insecure at first which makes meeting new people a hard and scary thing. They all nodded understandingly. "Hey, Madison said, we got you okay? no need to feel scared or anything." The 3 girls smiled at me and for some reason I felt they meant it. "Thank you I said, that really does mean a lot. So.. while we're on the topic of meeting new people, when will we be meeting the rest of our group?" I asked nervously. "In 30 minutes or so Madison replied, our first group activity starts at 3pm". "Group activity?" I asked with a nervous look on my face. Savannah laughed, "Don't worry they call it a activity but it's basically just some time to meet everyone in your group and the leaders of your group." "oh, that doesn't sound tooo bad" I replied, still feeling very nervous but at least I had those 3 girls who genuinely seemed nice.

3pm came sooner than I wanted and before I knew it Jadah was dragging me along to my first group activity. When we got there the rest of our group and our two older leaders we're already there. Jadah sat me down next to this boy with brown hair and hazel eyes the boy greeted Jadah and gave me a smile. I soon would learn that his name was Charlie. He came to camp with two of his friends, Owen and Jeremy who were also in our group. Then there was this boy called Taylor and another girl called Tori and last but not least our leaders, a man called Ray, who seemed super chill and laid back and a woman named Rose who seemed to be the sweetest person. During that first time meeting everyone I actually started to feel more comfortable, they all seemed pretty nice. Maybe this week wouldn't be so bad after all.. Soon after meeting your group it was time for dinner with the entire camp. Madison gestured for you to come sit with her, an invitation you happily accepted you had met enough new people for the day. During the dinner the head camp counselors asked for everybody's attention. They introduced themselves to us and told us some crazy story about how we were gonna play 'glow in the dark paintball'. Madison laughed at my confused face. "I hate to break the fun but this all just means we're having a dropping later tonight. they try this every year. They try to prepare us for an intense, active night without actually saying they're dropping us in the middle of nowhere." She whispered to me. "Oohhh" I simply replied, actually feeling a bit disappointed.
