~Tord's POV~

     I sighed while staring out the window of the bus. The bus that would take me to hell- sorry, summer camp.
     My parents thought that I needed some "fresh air" so they sent me away. Actually, the air is probably less fresh outside if you really think about it.
     The bus suddenly came to an abrupt stop, causing me and my luggage to fall off the seat.
     "Ow! What the hell!" I yelled and glared at the bus driver who really didn't seem to give a shit.
     I rolled my eyes, picked up my stuff, and walked off the bus.
     "Hello new camper!" I heard a cheerful voice. "Welcome to-!"
     I cut him off quickly. "I'm going to stop you right there!" I cleared my throat. "No one gives a shit" I growled.
     I walked away along the trail and towards the camp.
     I soon reached a clearing with many different kids in it.
     Most people were gathered around some kid in a green shirt showing off leaves or something.
     I chose to stay away from the group, it was stupid and pointless.
     I turned around and started walking again, only to run directly into someone.
     "Watch out!" I heard him say. He sounded frantic. "I... I don't wanna get hurt!"
     "Fuck off scaredy cat" I spat before walking past him.
     I heard him gasp suddenly.
     "EDD!!!" he yelled.
     The noise startled me and I stopped walking.
     Out of the corner of my eye I saw the kid in the green shirt walk over.
     They started whispering to each other before looking at me.
     "You're a new camper!" The kid in the green shirt cheered.
     "Yeah... how'd you know?" I asked.
     "Because I know everyone here!" He smiled. "My name's Edd!" He held put his hand for me to shame but I declined.
    "Sorry Edd, but I don't do "friends"" I responded.
     "But... everyone needs friends!"
     "Not me"
     "But-"
     "Quit it! All friends will do is eventually screw you over! So how about you stop bothering me and take your shitty advice elsewhere?" I took a deep breath.
     "O-oh..." Edd looked more hurt then shocked. Not what I expected...
     "Hey! Don't talk to my friend like that!" The kid that I ran into said while stepping in front of Edd.
     "Matt... it's ok, really!" Edd tried to reassure him.
     "No it isn't!" Matt responded.
     "G-guys...? What's going on...?" I heard I soft voice from behind me.
     I turned around to see a boy with pitch black eyes. Or maybe no eyes at all, I wasn't really sure.
     He was a bit shorter then me but his hair seemed to raise his height a bit.
     "Its ok Tom! Everything is fine!" Edd said is a frantic yet reassuring voice.
     "He's right you know, everything is fine!" I said. My tone went from harsh to quite soft. I wasn't really sure why.
     "W-who are you...?" Tom asked while backing up a little.
     "Uh... T-tord!" I stuttered. Why the hell did I stutter!?
     Tom giggled quietly. "You're name is really unique...!"
    "So cute..." I murmured.
    "W-what?" Tom tilted his head like a lost kitten.
    "Oh, uh... nothing!" I smiled, hoping that it would seal my lie.
    "Ok!" Tom accepted my response easily.
     "Y'know... you're personality changed really quickly!" Edd said while grinning.
     "Shut it!" I spat. I quickly glared at him.
     Tom jumped back. He held a plush toy in front of his face as if it would protect him.
     "så søtt..." I muttered.
     "W-what...?" Tom asked cautiously.
     "ingenting- I mean... nothing!"
     "Is that a different language?"
     "Yeah..."
     "What is it?"
     "Norwegian" I shrugged but Tom looked amazed.
     "Could you not tell by the accent?" I asked.
     "Oh! So that's why your voice sounds different!" Tom giggled.
     "Uh... yeah!" I tried to not laugh at Tom's remark.
     I looked past Tom to see both Edd and Matt staring at us. Matt looked concerned while Edd was smiling.
     Edd's gaze kept wandering from Tom to me.
     Then it hit me.
     "knull deg!!" I yelled at him.
     His smile only grew.
     Matt seemed to catch on too only he didn't follow in Edd's footsteps.
     "Edd... they're not gay?" He said, though it came out like a question.
     "No proof" Edd responded without even turning his head.
     "Jesus Kristus..." I muttered. I quickly walked away before this escalated any further.
     I'd better stay away from them from now on, it'll only get me in trouble if I become friends. Of course, it won't be their fault....

I always fuck up...
