"For this week," Lotus commented, "Unless the kids stay here all summer. I don't know never been here before."

"This week? They can leave? I thought they were supposed to stay the whole summer." Raven said, confused.

"I'm pretty sure one session is two weeks, but I could be wrong. I think the entire camp is four sessions," Marcus said.

(I feel like the week to two weeks would be more realistic and probably work better.)

Lotus nodded as they crossed their arms, "Yeah that sounds about right. So what cabins are you guys in?"

"Cabin 2. It's near the dining hall," Marcus said, looking at his sheet. At least he'd stopped rambling.

"I'm in 16." Raven answered.

"I'm in 14," Lotus responded, "Makes sense they put the older kids together. I still think it's strange that they put ten to thirteen-year-olds all in one cabin. That's not typical right?"

"I don't know. This is my first time here." She said.

"I'm not talking about just here," Lotus said, "I'm talking in general. All sleepaway camps. If I was going to shove kids together like that I would have moved the thirteen-year-olds up a cabin to be with the fourteen and fifteen-year-olds."

Raven shrugged, "Well, I guess they wanted to have some older kid to help out the counsler or something."
(I apparently have trouble spelling simple words like counsler.)

"I doubt it," Lotus responded but shrugged anyway, "But okay. We can go with that. I guess it also doesn't make sense since all the other cabins only have two years. I have 14 to 15. Marcus as 7 to 8. You just got a lot of kids. Maybe we should check to make sure it's right?"

(Eh okay.)
"Sure, I guess." Raven agreed, stepping toward the door. She walked back to the woman at the table, and held out the list. "Is this right?" The woman looked at it, then at her clipboard. "No, it's not. Thomas type it out wrong again. All of the girls on your list are either ten or eleven." Raven nodded. "Thank you ma'am." She walked back to the others. "You were right Lotus, it was a typo."

Lotus had a little grin on. They usually figured these problems out and felt a little boost of confidence, "Great. So which was it?"

"Ten to eleven." Raven responded, smiling.

Lotus let a laugh and looked to Raven, "You're still in cabin 14 right?"

"Yep, definitely." She answered, then realized that she had forgotten Marcus was there for a second. "Should we go to the cabins now?"

Lotus nodded and put their hands in their pockets, "Sure. We can drop our stuff off."

"We can walk together if you guys want? I mean, not that we have to, I can always just leave, but uh," Marcus searched his brain for something else to say. Why couldn't he just shut up?

"I'm fine with that," Lotus responded, "We can drop by your cabin first."

"Yeah, let's go." Raven said, smiling at Marcus. She had decided he was okay. It's not like he's going to follow me everywhere I go and text me every time he doesn't know where I am like Tim did. How'd he get my number anyway? Whatever. At least I got a new phone before I came here.
