What?! You Want Me To Be A Camp Counselor?!

Chapter 2

"Excuse me! Can I please have your attention!" an older counselor spoke into a microphone. Everyone fell pretty quiet as her raspy voice was heard over the speakers. But being as I'm a kid and I like to whisper when the adult is talking still, I could pick out all the kids who were still talking.

"Please give a round of applause for our camp owner and director, James!" Man that lady really sucked at introductions! James deserves better if you ask me. But it didn't matter what kind of introduction he got he always got cheers and hollers.

Rosalie, Khail, Flyer Boy, Vance, Evan, and I were all standing in the front left corner of the room. But there really wasn't enough room in that tiny corner...

"Get your hand of my a$$," Rosalie hissed at no one unparticular. But one could only guess it was Evan who was misbehaving.

"Hello everyone! It's good to see you all back! I see many familiar and new faces, which is a good thing. I feel like I'm back with my big camp family again!" James was always good when it came to talking in front of a big group of people.

"You know I really don't like long speeches about rules and boring junk. So let's get to introducing our camp counselors!" All the kids in the room started cheering. "First I would like to introduce the new counselors who just got that position this year." Our mini crowd in the corner all leaned forward in anticipation.

"Let's start off with two very important people to me, my kids! Khail and Vance." I could hear how proud James was of these two by his tone of voice.

Khail was on the stage first; she walked with her hands in the air shaking her head back and forth. It made me want to laugh like everyone else in the auditorium was doing. When Vance got on the stage he copied her while cracking up. He looked so hilarious. Everyone was laughing as Vance copied Khail. Copying her earned him a punch in the shoulder.

"Khail is 17 and so is Vance. They're my baby twins!" James threw hit arms around them and hugged them tight. Khail smiled vigorously while Vance managed a small smile and edged to the side. I had so many questions to ask. "You can call these two by their names or you can call Khail Soldier and Vance Bubble Gum. Those have been their nicknames for years. Do I talk too much? I think I do... Let's bring up two more new counselors! Swag and Devil!"

Oh god, did he really just call me by my nickname Swag?

I put my head in my hands for a second before approaching the stage. Devil, aka Rosalie, was already on the stage and I must say she was rockin' it. Everyone cheered as she rocked it across the stage. I watched and waited. She seemed to be a well-liked girl.

Finally she was finished and was standing next to Khail. Now it was my turn. As I stepped onto the stage I started fist pumping. Fist pumping was one of my many, crazy, funky, fun abilities. People cheered. As I looked over the crowd I saw many familiar people from the years before at the camp.

"Swag, you've always had the swagger of a champion..." James commented mindlessly.

"Always have and I believe I always will, even when I'm 80!" My voice echoed through the room.

"I actually believe that!" Rosalie chimed in with a laugh.

"Guyyyyssss! You're all very superbly awesome... But you're distracting me!" James was his usual self as he stopped his foot on the ground. To make him happy we all pretended to lock our mouths and throw away the key.

"So let's get back on track! This is Swag, her real name is Saige, and I'm sure she really wouldn't mind being called anything else!" Oh god, that's going to bring on many new nick names... "And this is Devil, aka Rosalie. I don't think you guys wanna know how she got her nick name..."
