Valkyrie Velksen's Story

Valkyrie sat in the dark red car and waited for her mother to come out of the building that was labeled 'Main Office'. She didn't feel like engaging in anything social at the moment, so she'd stayed out in the car.
This is going to be hell... she thought. Her hand reached up and brushed the electric green hair out of her eyes as she saw her mother come out of the building. Valkyrie opened the car door and stepped out, looking at her mom for an answer.
"Okay, honey, you're all signed in and they have all your information and medication. You can go to your cabin now," Her mother announced.
"Thanks, mom," Valkyrie said while trudging to the back of the car to gather her things. "Pop the trunk, please?"
A small 'clunk' approved that the trunk to the Dodge Dart was open. Valkyrie grabbed her big, navy blue suitcase, dark purple duffle-bag, and light pink pillow. She turned to her mother and walked towards her for a hug.
"I love you, Valkyrie. We'll miss you. Write lots of letters" Her mom said as they hugged.
"Okay Mom. I love you too. And I will." Valkyrie smiled at her mother as she left, then turned around.
The large area before her was literally shining green and it made a nice compliment to the blue sky with puffy white clouds above. Across the green was two cabins. To the left had been a large, brown building that she suspected had been the Mess Hall.
"I guess I'd better get there and get a good bed before they're gone." The green haired girl started her way across the giant, green patch of grass towards her cabin.
Valkyrie pulled her heavy luggage up the stairs to the cabin and stepped inside. The place was absolutely gorgeous and no one was here yet. Dragging her stuff over to the beds, she thought she'd take one of the top bunks because it would minimize the social contact with others.
What if I actually make some friends here? She thought. That'd be nice.
She put her bags on one of the shelves beside the bed and climbed up, then fell back onto the small mattress, her legs hanging off the side. She had all summer to get used to being with new people in a new place. This experience could either be good, or terribly bad.

"Oh Ellie we're going to miss you so much! How long is it again? 10 weeks? That's so long! Are you sure you're packed enough? Do you have your retainer? Oh man, did we forget to pack it? Please tell me you have it! Do you?"
"Yes Mom," Ellie lied.
"Well then I guess you're ready to go," Ellie's mom pulled into the dirt driveway and rolled the car into the parking lot.
"Love you Mom," Ellie said as she jumped out of the car and walked towards the trunk to get her suitcases.
"Love you too sweetie! Don't forget to write us!"
"I won't forget," Ellie smiled and stopped at her mother's open window and kissed her on the cheek.
After a few more goodbyes Ellie stepped onto the path that said "Main Office this way!". She held the paperwork her mother already filled out and signed. She pulled her two suitcases behind her trying not to show how difficult it was to pull them both at the same time. They kept bumping into each other and tipping over. Finally she got to the main office and handed in her paperwork. After a few minutes of reading the paperwork over, the secretary gave her a map of the camp and a hand book of rules.
"Thank you, uhm," Ellie looked for the woman's name tag but couldn't seem to find it.
"Miss Sullivan."
"Well thanks, Miss Sullivan."
Ellie walked out of the main office, lugging her suitcases behind her. After a few minutes of stopping to catch her breath, Ellie finally got to her cabin.
It had a beautiful view of the lake and it looked very cozy. She was excited to get in and unpack. Hopefully she'll be able to get a top bunk.
After taking two trips to get her suitcases up the stairs of the cabin, she finally opened the door and walked inside. It was all wood and had nice bunk beds that could fit three mattresses. It had one single bed in the middle of the room which she figured that was the cabin instructor's bed, but she wasn't sure.
She saw a girl with bright green hair at the top of one bunk bed.
"Hiya! I'm Ellie," she smiled and proceeded to the other bunk bed so she could take the remaining top bunk. She opened one suit case and it was full of blankets and a pillow. She put down a colorful quilt and a soft purple pillow. That way nobody would try to take her bunk.

Alex
Alex had picked a top bunk, because he didn't like the idea of being under people. He had put his bags away and set out his blanket, but couldn't figure out where to put his guitar. During this time, someone else came into the cabin. A boy with brown hair, and looked fairly normal. "Hey," the guy said, at which Alex simply nodded back in acknowledgment before finding a space by the bunks to set his guitar. He hoped that the rest of the people here would assume he didn't want people to touch his guitar. When he looked back at the other boy, he has set up a bottom bunk and was reading. Alex stared curiously for a few seconds before climbing onto his own bed to wait for whoever else would be coming.
Isabelle
When Isabelle went inside her cabin, there was a girl with fake glasses and a girl with green hair and piercings. Immediately, Isabelle felt slightly out of place, but didn't really care. She was, however, disappointed both top bunks were taken. The higher up you are, the less easily bothered, in her opinion. Without saying anything, Isabelle threw her stuff on the bottom bunk under the green haired girls bunk, crawled onto it, and laid down, using her bag as a pillow.

Valkyrie looked over at the girl who had just walked in.
"Hiya," The girl said.
"Um.. Hi," She responded quietly with. She watched as the girl made her bed and it reminded her that she'd only been lying on a gross mattress. She sat up and leaned over the edge of the bunk towards the shelves that inhabited the side, along with her suitcases. Out of the purple duffle-bag came a purple striped bedspread and threw a lime-green blanket over it, then finished it off by placing her pink pillow at an angle on top.
When she finished, another girl entered the cabin. Valkyrie thought her white hair was cool, but the girl looked tired. She watched her quietly, but then referred her vision to pulling things like a sketchbook, notepad, and a pencil case out of her suitcase.
The sound of a door closing came through the window and she knew that the boys were beginning to show up. She wondered what they looked like, but began sketching butterflies in her sketchbook.

Ellie smiled at the girl with white hair who just walked in. After completely making her bed she sighed happily and plopped down on the covers. She heard the boys cabin doors opening and closing.
"Hey you guys wanna go meet some boys?" Ellie asked both girls eagerly.
She sat up in the bed with a huge grin on her face.

"I'm late!" Evelyn cried in near hysterics as she looked at her blinking alarm clock, "it must have unplugged the night before! Oh no!" Heart pounding Evelyn struggled to squirm into her change of clothes and hiking boots.
"I hope the parents had someone to let them in." She whispered, the sheer idea of a group of outraged parents standing outside the mess hall demanding their money back was enough to make her heart jolt. Piling into her car Evelyn speed across town to the tiny little haven she'd grown up at, the leisure of childhood slowly crept back to her, and replaced the fearful expression on her face, with bliss.
"Nothing to awful happened." She sighed now calmly getting out of her car and dragging her luggage and paperwork to the mess hall, she'd glanced around at the campers, developing some first impressions and smiling at returning campers, calling a few by name.
"You'd better get to your cabin soon!" Her boss chuckled, and Evelyn agreed. The best part of the year had come, meeting her cast of kids that hopefully, she could help for the better, there was nothing but joy in this...okay maybe there's a little fear and anxiety and pressure, but Evelyn was an adult! She didn't have time for that. So to make haste, she left the crowding mess hall and started out toward the main cabin she'd be working in. Once laying eyes on some of the girls standing outside and chilling inside she smiled, it appeared that she had a very different set from last year, and this summer was sure to be interesting.
"Hello campers!" She called excitedly hoping for some kind of response.

Isabelle
Isabelle wasn't really asleep, but she sure looked like it. Really, she just liked laying there, unmoving. Suddenly, a loud voice was asking if they wanted to meet the boys. Vaguely, Isabelle acknowledged that she heard doors opening to another cabin outside, so she knew some of them were there. Opening only one eye, Isabelle peered at the girl who spoke with a blank expression for several moments before shrugging. "Why not," she mumbled, opening her other eye and slowly sitting up. But, before she could even stand a woman barged in yelling some greeting. Isabelle groaned, falling back onto her bed. Camp counselors..
Alex
Alex was eying the new boy who had just came in. He had a guitar also, which Alex thought was pretty cool, but something was weird about him. As soon as he was settled, he began to draw something Alex couldn't see. One's drawing and one's reading... I thought I was anti social. "Hey, you play?" he asked the newcomer, actually curious. It was nice to meet someone else who could play, since everyone he knew couldn't play music. He was alone, in that sense.

The green-haired girl sat up on her bed and crossed her legs. She shrugged and looked down at her lap. Valkyrie hadn't been very good with talking to boys. But when she did, the ones that were nice had become close friends. It could go either way.
The other girl stated that she'd go.
"Okay," She finally replied, placing her sketchbook down beside her, then climbed down from the high bed. At that moment, she could hear someone outside the cabin greeting them. She glanced at the others and pondered over what to do.

Ellie smiled at the counselor who just walked in, "Hi! I'm Ellie! Is it okay if we go say hi to the guys in the cabin next to us?"
She jumped off the top bunk making a louder thump than expected. She walked towards the camp counselor and smiled, while brushing some dirt off her white shorts and green tank top.

The smile the crossed Evelyn's face present a range of emotions from happiness to amusement, "It's nice to meet you Ellie, I'm Evelyn!" She gave a nervous chuckle, she didn't want a bad first impression with the campers, especially because she arrived tardy, "You're all welcome to go visit the boys in their cabin, but just remember if you go into any rooms you must prop the door open with a chair! Nothing against you guys, just camp policy." Evelyn smiled looking at the lot of them,
"Before you all go off the make tons of new friends I just thought I'd remind you all we meet for dinner in the mess hall, and a camp agenda discussion tonight at 5 so please don't be late!...And if you guys want first grab at pizza, you might want to get there more around four fifty, the line ends up winding around the building if you get there late. If you all need anything else let me know." Evelyn felt her cheekbones hurt as she'd been unintentionally smiling for the past spiel. She chuckled quietly to herself before waiting to see what the girls did next.

Valkyrie smiled at the nice gesture that the counselor made towards the girl named 'Ellie'. She listened to the information provided and climbed down from her tall bed. When she reached the ground, she smiled at Evelyn and nervously said, "Hello, I'm Valkyrie."
She thought it was okay to start a conversation with this person because she seemed very nice. After greeting the woman, Valkyrie followed Ellie out of the cabin.

Ellie was delighted by the counselor's kindness. She stood next to Valkyrie while they all talked to Evelyn but soon she felt slightly awkward because she didn't know what to say.
"Well thanks, Evelyn," she smiled and motioned for the other two girls in the cabin to follow her outside. She was already starting to like this camp, but she was really curious about the guys.
Once all the girls were outside and heading towards the boy's cabin she looked at the two girls and smirked at Isabelle,
"So what's your name?" she giggled repositioned her glasses so they sat properly on her face.

"It's nice to meet you Valkyrie. I really like you're hair." True delight rested in that comment, she was very fond of exotically colored hair, but before she really got a chance to get the whole sentence out the girls were whisked out and preparing to venture over in to the boys Cabin. Chuckling quietly Evelyn whispered to herself,
"Thus it beings." She knew exactly how the girls felt, she'd been a camper and nothing was more fun than scouting out the boys, even if camp didn't last forever the idea of a summer love always amused her. In the midst of unpacking her own items in a small room taking whatever bunk had been left unoccupied it crossed her mind that she hadn't checked if the boys instructor was there, but she laughed at the notion that other camp workers may be running behind schedule, everyone here loved their jobs and probably got up an hour or so early just to get to camp and enjoy a little time to themselves.

Andy offered a light smile. "Andy," he stated quickly. "It's nice to meet you." It was then that his eyes flitted over to the girls that had just entered the room, and a slight smirk pulled at the corners of his mouth. "And now we all know which of the girls are either whores, or way too innocent." Returned to his earlier anti-socialness, he took his sketch pad back into his hands and began to sketch again.

His earlier words were obviously meant to annoy the girls, though in his head he was being somewhat serious. What girls really went to go and visit the male cabin, not even minutes after they'd probably arrived here? The ones that wanted to scout out which boys were deemed date-able and which ones were just sleep-withs. After all, "he" was a girl, he knew these things. It still amused him though.

Ellie smiled at Jeff, "Hey I'm Ellie! I like your glasses," she giggled and ran her fingers through her red hair. She then remembered that the door had to be held open with a chair so she awkwardly grabbed a chair from the corner and propped it next to the door so that it was slightly open. Then she walked back over to standing in between Valkyrie and Isabelle.

Valkyrie looked up at the new person greeting her.
"H-hi, I'm Valkyrie," she said quietly and smiled briefly at him. "It's nice to meet you."
She looked around and felt out of place and awkward. There were two boys sitting on the top bunks, both looking at them.Valkyrie took a small step back and looked back at Jeff, who was greeting the other girls.
Yeah... I should've stayed back at the cabin. I don't think they want us here. She thought. When Ellie came back from propping open the door, she moved closer to her, hoping she'd feel at least a little bit better about coming to this cabin.

Ellie had heard the whore comment but chose to ignore it. She was too happy right now to even care about it.
"Well hey it's almost 4:30, anyone wanna grab some pizza with me?" she smiled, hoping that Jeff, Valkyrie, and Isabelle would wanna come. So far they were her only friends here.

"It's nice to meet you too," Jeff responded. "And thanks! I like yours too."
The girl with white hair sat on the ground and murmured about being tired while the other two guys made jokes. He watched as Ellie kept the door open with a chair, and he raised one of his eyebrows. He noticed as Valkyrie stepped back and almost hid behind Ellie.
"She must be shy.." He thought. At the pizza comment that Ellie had made, he'd realized that he was hungry and didn't mind going to get food with the girls. The guys here hadn't spoken to him much.
"Sure." He turned around,"You guys might want to come too, I hear there will be a long line by the time the dinner bell actually rings."
With that, Jeff motioned for them to head out the door first.

Getting together Hiro looked at everyone. all dressed for summer he did feel a little outside, but that definitly meant he also stood out from the crowd. right now he was dressed in black skinnies and a black sleeveless. he did not look the part for a summer camp, let alone a warm day like today. "So how is everyone? My name's Hiroshima, by the way." he said and smiled a bit. meeting new people was odd for him. he definitly liked the feeling, but it was not his strong point.

"Just call me Hiro" he looked around, there were a lot of people, including the females who had just walked in there must have been seven in the room, but at least they were all friendly... well except for the guy he heard call the girls whores, or innocent and then walk off with his sketch pad. Hiro has had some bad first impressions, but that one was really bad.
