Narasin Bukoba's Story

I sprinted into camp, completely ignoring the counseller at the entrance, my face red with exhaustion. My dog, Hazer, by my side and an extremely heavy backpack stuck to my back. Not to mention the weight of the duffel bag that contained all of my clothes and art equipment. I examined the camp, then pulled a crumpled piece of paper from my pocket and examined it. "Cabin three, cabin three... Where is cabin three?!" I hissed, lifting my free hand to grip onto my jet black hair. I was already sort of late in arriving at the camp and now I'm lost. Perfect.

I'd never been much good at arriving on time or following instructions. Then again, a small piece of paper that reads 'When you get into camp, go to cabin three and unpack' didn't exactly help me a whole bunch. That was the last time I would trust my step-mother to write notes for me.

I wandered around a bit more, hoping someone would notice me and come to my aid. It was then that Hazer started to howl and jump around in a frenzy. "What is it, boy? Did you find it?" I asked, gesturing for the large dog to lead the way. When he arrived at his destination, Hazer came to a halt and sat infront of a large wooden cabin. In my opinion, it was the biggest of the lot. The walls were made out of logs and there were lights lighting the doorway. I took a few seconds to admire the large beauty I would be staying in, then huffed and approached the door.

I prepared myself for a moment or two, then opened the door and stepped straight in. "Hello? Anyone here?" I asked in a deep, cold voice. Hazer stood protectively by my side. Noticing the large dog, I chuckled slightly and patted him on the head.

Andrew noticed Hanna jump as turned around and saw him "Oh god, you scared me!" Andrew laughed "Sorry about that." He realized that he had been scaring Hanna a lot lately he made a mental note to try and stop doing that. He turned and looked behind him as he noticed a dog and guy get to cabin three, that hadn't seemed to notice them as they walked up the steps and entered the cabin. Andrew turned back to Hanna "Looks like you've got another new roommate. I hope you like dogs" he said with a smile. Talking about new roommates he wondered were his where, he hadn't seen or spoke to them since he had first arrived. "Well am gonna head back to my cabin. Talk to you later Hanna" he said dismissing himself as he walked to his cabin.

I rushed around the cabin, attempting to get all of my things packed away before anyone popped in to say hello. Not that I thought anyone would. It was a place for 'troubled teens' afterall, so I was probably going to be spending however long with a bunch of anti-social kids with issues. Great.

Hazer, whom was peering out of the narrowly opened door, turned around to look at me. I looked back at him and he barked, bounding towards me. He gave me a few licks before barking again. "I know, I know, dude. Hold on a second" I mumbled, searching through my duffle bag. I pulled out a small can and a metal bowl. After taking a while to open the can, I poured its contents into the bowl and lay it down next to my bed. I watched Hazer chomp down his food like he'd never eaten before in his life, I sighed to myself then patted the dog on the back.

Now that everything was sorted, I wasn't just going to mope around in my cabin all day. I walked outside of the door and noticed a girl stood not too far from cabin three. "Uhm, hello?" I called out to her, walking in her direction. "My name is Ash, nice to meet you. And you might be?" I asked, one eyebrow curving upwards in question.

If I'm going to be staying here for a while, I might aswell make some new friends, despite how weird or freaky they might be.
