[color=firebrick]One of the last few noises coming out of Cabin Seven was that of Gabriel finish playing his rendition of “I’ve been watching you,” by Rodney Atkins. Gabriel would play this song at least once every couple of days. Both he and his dad both loved the song for it reminded each other how strong their bond is to one another. Gabriel’s dog, Sparta, was simply laying down on the couch seat next to him, listening to the music. As the last note flitted out of the guitar and into the air, Gabriel came back to reality and Sparta raised his head out of curiosity. The cacophony of cheers soon filled the room, [i] I wonder what everyone is hootin’ and hollerin’ about.[/i] When Gabriel stood and Sparta did the same, they both went to Gabriel’s room. He sat his guitar back in it’s stand that rested at the foot of his bed, grabbed an Atlanta Braves ball cap, and the duo went to exit the cabin.

As he breached the door’s threshold, he could tell what everyone was screaming and cheering about. In the distance, he could see the large and looming Obstacle Tower. Gabriel was still fairly new to the camp, and has yet to take a chance at navigating the tower. Most everyone in camp must have been at the tower, since he only saw a sparingly few other campers milling about. Some were doing a bit of extra work, while others looked plain disinterested in the tower and decided to hang out with their friends around their respective cabins. “Come on, boy,” Gabe said in combination with a pat on his leg. Sparta immediately obeyed, and the pair made their way to the Obstacle Tower. 

Since Gabe was still new to the camp, he was still learning where exactly everything was. He learned all the important places, but a few still escaped his mind; specific cabins mostly. Thankfully though, the tower was large enough to spot from a distance, so he had no trouble finding his way there. Sparta continued to trot next to his best friend, and the two soon came upon the ring of bleachers that held the tower within. From outside, he could already see participants near the top of the tower, even a few he recognized. Once he entered the arena, however, the full force of the cheering and excitement hit him. Gabriel scanned the stadium and saw a few familiar faces. The two he recognized the most, however, was that of Erin and Syleste. Erin had shown him, albeit annoyed, around the camp when he first arrived. While she was standoffish and broody, Gabriel didn’t mind her as much as others, and as long as they both got along, he had no problems. Syleste, however, was the complete opposite. Gabriel wondered sometimes how the two were friends. When Gabriel first met Syleste, he instantly had a crush on her. Her attitude about the world simply rubbed off on him every time they spoke, and Gabriel couldn’t help but feel that much better while being around her. When he learned of her disability, it made Gabriel that much more attracted to her; she wouldn’t let anything keep her down. Syleste had a blindfold on today, and while Gabe would rather see her eyes, he accepted the fact she would do what she wanted.

With it seeming like the tower was to be finished,, Gabe resigned himself to simply watch and possibly find patterns with the automated machinery. He watched a small group form around the aforementioned females, and Gabriel figured now was as good a time as any to meet new people. With Sparta following close behind, they each climbed the stairs and made their way to where the group was. Sparta jumped onto a seat a couple of spots away from a young african-american boy. “Afternoon everyone, hope I’m not intrudin’. Name’s Gabriel,” he said nodding his head to both the boy he believed was called Eli at some point and the red-head standing behind Syleste.
