“Well, you have to stay because I’m staying here,” Carlos said, rolling his eyes. “C’mon, it’ll be fun – there’s loads of activities here – I’m sure you’ll find something to like!”
As if on cue, the door flew open revealing a tall, thin man who was grinning broadly at the sight of them.
“Carlos! I’m so happy to have here with us at Camp Campbell!” The man
said brightly, shaking Carlos’ hand far too enthusiastically before
bending down in front of Maria. “And you must be Maria! I’m David and
we’re also very excited to have you join our group of campers!”The girl blinked rapidly before leaning around David to look at her brother “Absolutamente jodidamente no.”
“Cállate y siéntate,” Carlos told her. He smiled at David. “I’m sure she’s going to have lots of fun here,” he said. “Hey, uh… where’s the other counselor? I though there were two adults here…”
Maria grumbled but still sat down at a table. She knew she’d have been grounded for saying that at home, so she was really pushing her luck.
“Gwen should be along soon, don’t you worry!” David said, not seeming deterred by the exchange.
“Uh, alright,” Carlos said. He glanced at Maria then back at David. “So, where are the other…”
“DAVID! Don’t fucking leave me with –”
The woman who had burst through the door paused when she saw Carlos and Maria there. She groaned and scrubbed at her face with one of her hands. “Christ, that’s right… new campers.”
Carlos frowned at her. “Uh, actually, I’m the assistant counselor,” he said to her. He tugged at his green camp shirt to illustrate.
