“am i? didn’t really think so.”

“i know what you meant but well, there’s a reason we’re all here and for that we don’t get those kind of luxuries other camps get, i guess.”

“ so you mean there are other camps—in the wilderness—that don’t smell like this ?  hmm... well, at least we’re being afforded the luxury of air conditioning. ”

“ by the way, i don’t think i caught your name. i’m cleo. ”

svmmersnight:

“well… that was somehow unrealistic, don’t you think? at least it is not all around the camp. let’s stay away from that dodgy looking river near the entrance…”

“ can’t blame me for hoping. after all, i’ve only been camping one other time in my life and it smelled... decent. but this place ? i don’t think the river’s the only dodgy thing about it. ”

     “ i wouldn’t know. i’ve been trying to breathe through my mouth this whole time.. ”

“ well then, let’s hope you can keep it up for the whole summer because it reeks. ”

hcadlights:

“very wrong. you set your expectations too high, love. i mean, you said it yourself; a camp in the middle of nowhere.”

“ well, you’re quite blunt now, aren’t you ? ”

“ i just meant that i happen to expect something else when i imagine ‘ fresh air ’. ”

rough backstory

sO cleo is basically a stereotypical Teen Rebel™.  xe doesn't like authority figures, doesn't get along with her parents or teachers, and is constantly looking for trouble.

cleo’s parents were never married and always cheated on each other during xyr childhood. (this was the start of xyr growing hatred for them.) they constantly fought and never spent any time with cleo (or either of her two older brothers) as a child. therefore, they never really got a chance to forge a connection with xyr.

cleo also didn’t get along with xyr brothers, as they often teased and bullied xyr, making her life even worse. xyr brothers got into crime and eventually landed themselves into a gang. cleo, following in their footsteps, made friends with some “not so nice” people and spent xyr days getting into trouble in the neighborhood.

cleo basically raised xyrself

*cleo’s parents were also definitely not approving of them coming out as non-binary. they kept using female pronouns when addressing them, which also helped fuel cleo’s hatred for them.*

cleo's parents eventually “matured” i guess ?? and, although split up, began to care more about the well-being of their children. they were stricter with them, but at this point it was too late. one of cleo’s brothers was in jail for selling drugs and the other had moved out while still involved in a gang.

this made their parents extra hard on cleo, who had already grown up without having to abide by any rules. as you can probably assume, xe would not have it. in fact, this made cleo act up even more. xe spent days away from home without any contact, shoplifted, failed all their classes, and took drugs/alcohol.

the biggest thing with cleo basically is that they don’t like being controlled/feeling constricted, specifically by their parents/teachers/authority figures in general. xe values xyr freedom

cleo loves to anger xyr parents, and gets into trouble merely to spite them.

that’s basically their story i guess ? i know it’s really messy but i’ll eventually polish it up and turn it into a true bio so don’t judge me lol

edit:

cleo is p smug but still super extroverted and outgoing so xe’s not necessarily mean, just .. intimidating.

wait, did [amandla stenberg] just arrive? oh no, that’s [cleo harrington / they/them], dummy. apparently, they were forced to attend because [they constantly fight with their parents and teachers]. i understand, they are only [eighteen] and are already so [recalcitrant], but they can also be [outgoing] so that’s not so bad. just go talk to them, their cabin is the [9a].

“ was it wrong of me to hope that a camp in the middle of nowhere might not actually smell like shit ? ”
