Carter nearly dropped his joint when he heard the voice speak at him. “Hm?” He asked while hiding the thing in his hand just to shove it in his pocket. “Is it? I don’t own a watch, literally, I was just getting some fresh air. It’s cramped in there, ya know?” His eyes looking the boy up and down for a moment as he spoke. “..who are you?”

     the smell -- it’s unmistakable. teddy, however, would hate to write someone up on the first day. as the other scrambled to save his ass, an amused tilt of his lips fights its way to the surface. ❝ yeah -- i know. ❞ there’s something behind teddy’s tone, teasing in the direction of the roach in carter’s pocket. ❝ teddy. i’m one of the counselor’s here. ❞

     ❝ You guessed right.          You must be one of the counselors. ❞

     Rosalie held out her hand, perfectly manicured half-moons painted the same shade of red as her sundress. Her fingers were milky white, stained yellow slightly from the nicotine in the cigarette which was currently smashed into the ground. Around them, the weather was beautiful, a cool breeze making the temperature warm but not uncomfortably hot. Everything was positively verdant, the smell of green and life teeming through the air. It was times like this that made her love life. 

    ❝ how’d you know ??? ❞ as per usual, teddy tried to keep the mood light, hoping to encourage rosalie that the camp was the place to be this summer and not filled with young adults that only pretended to care. while other counselors were apathetic, he always had an easy smile spread across his face and a happy lilt to his tone. he shook her hand warmly, giving an encouraging nod as he did so. ❝ rosalie biller -- you’re in the fawn cabin and your counselor is -- ❞ a long pause. ❝ heather debeaux. ❞ his smile was a bit forced now, a bit APOLOGETIC. ❝ good luck. ❞

    it had been a long day -- setting up the camp and instructing the campers on safety precaution and blahblahblah. once the campers were in their assigned cabins and getting ready for lights out, teddy decided that he needed to release some stress. he wasn’t one for drinking or smoking, though, so his next best bet was to go on a run, like before he went to camp. he was getting a good rhythm going when he noticed a camper.  ❝ excuse me, ❞ he breathed out,  ❝ isn’t it passed lights out ??? ❞

( ARCHIE. )

There was something that told Archie not to turn and glare at the other, but he did it anyway. It tickled him the wrong way that someone his age was giving orders, and most importantly, was giving those orders to him. Maybe it was the pent-up rage and frustration from home that turned him into such an asshole, but he had no time to consider his attitude. He just didn’t care. 

Cabin assignment, assigned counselor... Archie’s ears perked up then. Wouldn’t it be a blast to have this guy as his counselor, and piss him off every waking moment of this summer?

“Archie Dallas,” he crossed his arms over his chest and waited impatiently, his eyes on the clipboard.

    the ginger nodded, looking down at his clipboard. let’s see... his eyes scanned the page thoughtfully. he found himself cringing anytime he found a name with the words 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇 𝒹𝑒𝒷𝑒𝒶𝓊𝓍 signed next to it. the camp director definitely did not hold any mercy in their body. skipping down the list, he frowned at archie’s name. in neat lettering next to it, he read: 𝓉𝑒𝒹𝒹𝓎 𝓁𝒾𝓃𝒸𝑜𝓁𝓃. fantastic.

    teddy looked up from the clipboard. ❝ it would seem that you’re with me, amigo, ❞ he said with a tight smile. ❝ that would be in the platypus cabin, which happens to be closest to the lake. ❞

     The day was beautiful, and as such the convertable’s top was pulled down. She enjoyed the wind running through her hair, the smoky taste of the cigarette between her lips, the new hit from that British band on the radio – she enjoyed their music, but unlike her younger sister, was not obsessed.

     Rosalie’s brand new Volkswagen Beetle pulled to a stop as she arrived at her destination. The cigarette’s smouldering butt was flicked out of the car and crushed by her scuffed saddle shoes. Before putting the top of her car up, she reached for her bags. It was always a feat, fitting a month’s worth of toiletries, make-up, and clothes inside two suitcases, but the tight packing and vigilant management of what she actually used was much better than trying to transport cases and boxes full of things that she did not even use.

     Rosalie felt close to nature, and she was sure she was going to enjoy this month out in the wilds. It would be a good disconnect before going to Smith and starting the rest of her life.

    teddy really couldn’t of asked for a better day to start camp -- the sun was shining beautifully, the trees were an absolutely GORGEOUS shade of green, and the slight breeze was just warm enough to make an easy smile spread across the young man’s clean shaven face. the campers had ( for the most part ) been compliant and just as excited for the new year at camp hiraeth as teddy.

    his head turned at the sound of an engine approaching and grinned widely at the female exiting the car.  ❝ hey !!! ❞ he greeted, approaching the other.  ❝ i’m teddy, one of the counselor’s at this fine establishment and you must be -- ❞ he glanced down at his clipboard. he recognized a couple of the names from last year and noticed that half of the other names belonged ( presumably ) male campers -- that would mean... ❝ rosalie, yeah ??? ❞

Archie looked up from staring at his bags with a raised eyebrow, taking in the other’s appearance. Ah, a camp counselor. Of course he’d try and convince him that this wouldn’t blow. He worked here. He needed to advertise this well, so that they’d come back the following year. 

“Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it.” He responded almost rudely, returning to scanning the area. 

    teddy’s cheeks colored red in blotches -- a bit from embarrassment and in response to archie’s attitude. of course -- a camp full of teens and young adults was going to be jam packed with hormones and anger, the camp director had warned him of that much.

    ❝  just hang loose, man, alright ??? you might get surprised with how BAD this place is. ❞ teddy looked down at his clipboard.  ❝alright, just gimme your name and i can give you your cabin assignment, assigned counselor, all that jazz.  ❞

The bags dropped to the ground with a soft thud, then the slight screeching of tires as his father pulled out of the lot before his mother could exit the vehicle and reach for him again. Archie was glad to be away from it all at long last - he could feel the relief wash over him and suddenly the thought of being surrounded by strangers for a whole summer didn’t seem that cumbersome anymore. He took in the scenery, his eyes lingering on the other campers.

“This better not blow.” He said, more to himself than anyone else.

    teddy had arrived at the camp a week earlier to set up with all of the other counselors. he’d proudly tell ANYONE that this year would be the camps best year. their brand new archery targets came in, the canoes were all patched up, and the cabins were fixed up -- this year was going to be the BEST. teddy stood there, maroon polo and khaki shorts, smiling widely despite the counselor uniform he was forced to wear.

❝  this year will definitely NOT blow, ❞ he said to to the boy who just arrived beside him.  ❝ believe me. ❞ was he convincing the other -- or himself, he pondered briefly.
