Serena approached the bus cautiously, unsure of herself, frightened. She turned back to her parents and saw the happy look on their faces that their daughter was finally becoming responsible. She had begged her parents profusely to let her sign up as a camp counseler at Camp South Brook, which was about 5 hours from home. They had finally agreed after an agreement that if they allowed her to go, she would try and work harder at school, when she started her senior year of high school. Serena dropped her bags suddenly and ran into her parents arms, kissing them each on the cheek quickly before jogging back to the bus. They watched and waved until the bus was out of sight. ******************************* Serena slept most of the bus trip. She hadn't gotten much sleep last night on account of the fact that she was all jittery. She looked forward to camp though. It would be a great challenge and adventure from her usually quiet life. The bus pulled to a stop a few minutes after Serena had woken up. She looked out the window curiously. There was a huge lake set off to the left with a boundary set off for what she guessed was a swimming area. To the right, cabins were scattered about abundantly. The middle was cleared out and used as an assembly hall and a place to be assigned dailyactivities. Serena was abruptly interupted when a unison of gasps broke out from the bus's female population. She immediately looked up to see a tall man about 6'2 standing at the front of the bus. He looked to be in college, with a crop of short black hair,eyes covered by sunglasses, and slightly tanned skin. All in all a very handsome guy. " Hi. My name is Darien. One of the many camp counseler's at Camp South Brook. I hope you all have agood time here." Many of the girls turned to eachother and giggled secretively. Serena immediately felt a sadness wash over her.All these girls knew people already and shewas all alone. " Okay, lets get started. When I call your names please grab your luggage and wait beside the bus." Serena sighed and turned her head to look out thewindow. " Mina Aino, Sara Long, Virginia Scott, Serena Tsukino...Serena Tsukino?...Is Serena Tsukino on thebus?" Serena stood up abruptly, blushing furiously as she grabbed her bags and exited the bus, her cheeks becoming redder from the laughter. ********************************** Serena stood off to the side, away from the three other girls, as Darien and another counselerapproached. " This is my close friend and fellow counseler Andrew, we have been assigned to show you four the ropes until you get the hang of everything." " Okay, this is how it goes. Each building is two cabins in one, an A cabin and a B cabin. Each cabin is connected by a wall with a door, in case of emergencies. Each cabin holds two counselers and eight campers. Breakfast starts promptly at 7:00, lunch at 12:00, and dinner at 7:00. Lights out for campers at10:30 sharp." " Now, before your assigned your campers, you will be assigned your cabin, co-counseler, and will meet with the two counselers in the opposite cabin. These counselers will be your teachers for the summer, so make friends with them as fast as you can. So are there any questions before we start?" no one said anything. " Good. Okay Virginia and Sara? You will be in cabin 1a. Mina and Serena? You will be in cabin14b." Serena went and stood next to her fellow counseler and they both smiled at eachother. " Hi." " Hello." " Serena Tsukino." " Mina Aino." They shook hands and immediately giggled. " Where are you from?" " I live in Juuban." " Oh my God? No kidding? Thats were I live. Funny I never saw you." "Yeah. I..." " Get moving girls! Or you'll be left behind." Serena and Mina turned towards eachother then raced down the hill towards the small group. ************************************** Sara and Virginia were left at there cabin, and both looked very unhappy. Serena, Darien, Mina and Andrew all walked down a small path to a cabin that was setoff from the others. " This is it. Cabin 14b is on the right." Serena and Mina bounded inside happily, curiouslylooking around at everything. " Your beds are on the wall farthest from the left." " You can have the top bunk, Serena,I always preferthe bottom." " Thanks Mina." They threw their bags on their beds and headed back outside to meet the counselers from cabin 14a. Darien and Andrew were outside sitting on the porch. " Time for you to meet your neighbors." Serena looked around. " Really? Then where are they?" Darien outstretched his hand. " Hi. I am Darien Chiba and this is Andrew Fuhrahata,counselers of Cabin 14a." " You? Your our fellow counselers?" " Yes. Is there a problem?" " No, a just didn't expect, thats all." Serena turned to Mina and smiled. " I'm Serena Tsukino and this is Mina Aino, as if youdidn't already know." Darien looked down at the angel smiling up at him. " If you don't mind me saying so Serena, that is the weirdest hairstyle I have ever seen. It sorta looks like two meatballs, doesn't it Andrew." Serena turned red as Andrew looked at the ground shaking his head. He grabbed Mina by the arm and led her into the cabin not wanting her to see the carnage he thought would take place. " I can't beleive you said that, you heartless beast. I barely even know you and you think you can insult me. I left Juuban to get away from critisizm and Imeet you. I..." " I sorry Serena I didn't mean to say that. I was acting like a jerk. Can you forgive me?" She stepped upto him so their toes touched and tilted her head back to look at him. " Fine, but that is it. With me there is no strike three. Two strikes and your out." He smiled delightedly, then followed as she went tosit down on the porch. " When do the campers arrive exactly?" " They should be here after lunch. We give the counselors time to get acquainted with eachother." " So...where are you from?" " Tokyo. I am attending Tokyo University." " Really, I start college next year. I haven't decided were I am going yet, it is a toss up betweenTokyo U and Azuba Tech." " Well both are really goods schools, but it reallydepends on what you like." Darien looked at his watch. " Lunch is in 20 minutes. Why don't you and Mina get settled, change and then we can all go to lunch together?" " Sure. Let me just kick Andrew out. He will be onlya minute." Darien smiled at the petite girl when she turned her back to him. This was going to be a great summer! ************************************************* Thats all for now.
