Maryn noticed the boy smiling at him and he gave a small, shy smile back, I honestly think it's still going to be a pretty awkward two weeks since he looks pretty shy and unsocial like me. Maryn thought.

"Oh! I'm sorry! It's just everyone here speaks of you very highly, like you're a legend or something!" Jae laughed.

Srry I got distracted I'm back though I might be on and off. At six I'll be gone for like an hour or two. Bc I'm finally gonna be in time for one of a dude named YourPalRoss's livestreams.

“Nah, you’re fine. I just never realized that I’m…famous. Would you like an autograph?” Annika said jokingly.

Otis bit his lip. He then decided to sit down and draw.

"I'm good." Jae laughed, "I'd rather be friends if that's okay."

So he's an artist too huh. Maryn thought. Should I say hi?

"Good." Annika said. "Nothing personal, but I'd rather not have a fangirl following me around all the time. Do you need help setting up?"

Otis kept drawing.

(Sorry for Otis' one-liner, I didn't quite know what to do :)

(It's fine, do they do a swim test or anything btw)

"Sure! That'd be great!" Jae replied, happily glad to make a new friend.

Maryn summoned up all his courage(which wasn't much) and greeted the boy, "Uhm…H-hi there, Otis was it? I-i'm Maryn. It's nice…nice to meet you." He shakily held out his hand hoping that it wasn't sweaty.

(Yes, they do :)

"Alright. Just tell me what you need done and I'd be happy to do it." Annika said.

Otis looked up at the boy. People didn't usually greet him. He tried not to look surprised, but couldn't help it. "H-H-Hi. H-H-H-How are you?" Otis said looking down. Why do I have to stutter on my H's?!?! I sound like a jerk! he thought to himself.

"Ummm…If you could, could help me with my bed. I've never really been able to make it very well." Jae said holding up some light blue sheets and a small rainbow blanket.

Maryn stuck his hand quickly in his pocket, Agh, Maryn what the heck are you doing?! This dude obviously doesn't want to be your friend. No matter how much you try you aren't going to have a friend nor social life! He turned away nervously and very discouraged.

Come on, Otis, you screwed up. Say something to make it right! he thought to himself.
“Alright, everyone, I want you all to get to know each other better! Talk with your bunkmate. Tell him about yourselves!” Benjamin the senior counselor said.

Annika helped Jae with her bed and Jackie told the girls to pick a partner and get acquainted. “Well, Jae. Looks like it’s just you and me.” Annika said.

Oh no! Maryn thought nervously, This dude obviously doesn't like me this is gonna be super awkward!

"Awesome!" Jae pumped her fist, "What do you wanna talk about first?"

“H-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-um…” Otis stuttered. He put up a hand to signify a wave.How come the one word that you use to make people like you starts with the hardest letter in the alphabet? he wondered to himself.

“I honestly don’t care. Tell me about you.” Annika said, sitting acrss from Jae.

Otis gave what Maryn thought was a wave. "U-u-u-u-u-hm….." Maryn said staring at the floor, his face hot.

"Oh, okay." Jae said, "Uhm, let's see…Oh! I went to France recently!"

(Annika's reply caught me off guard so I just made something up. You leaving soon?)

(No, probably not :)

"Cool. So, what's your favorite part of camp?" she asked.

Otis sat in this pose:

I failed. I want to be friends with him, or at least get along, but I don't know how…

Same time zone, I'm in PA :)

I gtg, see you tomorrow :)

(Oh cool!)

"Probably the swimming and arts and crafts," Jae replied showing off her many bracelets.

Maryn sat down on the floor, scrunched his knees to his chest, and put his head on his knees, heavily discouraged and still nervous.

"Same! A lot of my braelets are still in my bag." Annika said.

Otis didn't know what to do. He sighed and put his hand on Maryn's back.
"A-Are you okay?" he asked

"Cool! You want to make some friendship ones later?" Jae asked excitedly.

Maryn felt a hand on his back. He tensed. "I-i-i-i'm fine." He replied quietly. MARYN He thought STOP STUTTERING AND LOOK AT THE DANG BOY He lifted his head and turned towards Otis, "I'm fine, thanks." He said at an audible level this time.

(I gtg I'll be back soon. You can go ahead and write your part if you want.)

"Sure, that'd be nice!" Annika replied. "So, what books are you reading?"

For some odd reason, Otis felt stupid. He didn't know why. "O-okay…" he said, scooching away silghtly so that he wasn't so close but wasn't far away.

"Let me think…" Jae said, "I'm currently reading two books! 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' and 'Alice In Wonderland'. What about you?"

Maryn had enough of being awkward. If this continues, this camp won't be fun at all. He thought. He balled his fist and said, "Alright. Sooo I guess we should start talking to each other and become uh friends maybe?"

“Ooh, Grimm’s Fairy Tales was good. I‘m reading Click’d and Mary Poppins.”

Otis shyly smiled. “A-alright.”

(Hey, I’m not gonna do a time-skip, I’m just gonna end the thing)
The “get-to-know-each-other” segment was over. It was time for the POOL!
The campers got into their swimsuit and Annika grabbed her goggles and underwater camera.
