Maddie drove onto the camp grounds, parking up as close as she could to the main entrance. Her
music was blasting, her windows were wide open and she had her elbow resting on the window frame and hand in her hair. Maddie turned off the engine and opened the car door, moving around to the trunk of her car to retrieve her bags upon bags upon bags. She rested her purse on her shoulder and threw a large duffle on her opposite shoulder, taking her two suitcases in either hand as she made for the camp. Turning for a second to lock the car awkwardly in-between her index and middle fingers and holding onto the key for dear life wishing it wouldn't fall. There were so many people, some only carrying one bag. Personally, she didn't understand how people could come with only one bag, how do you fit everything in one bag? As she entered officially onto the camp grounds she watched the large crowd heading for the main hall. Last year, that was where she went as a newcomer so she guessed that's where most people were going to be this time round as well. Finally reaching the red cabin, she pushed the door open with her back. She saw someone's bags rested on the bed closest to the door. Audrey. They looked like her bags. Seeing them filled her with a rush of excitement, she couldn't wait to see Audrey. Her first guess to where she would be would most probably be the media room with most likely Sierra. Maddie chucked her bags on the floor between two beds, she liked all the people in her team that she knew from the year before so she didn't care where she slept. If she had a choice, she would want to sleep with Audrey but she wasn't too fussed.
Taking her phone from her back pocket, she fell backwards onto the bed, her father wanted her to phone her as soon as she had arrived, again winning he award for the most protective dad ever. The day of travelling to get to camp was exhausting but the excitement of seeing everyone kept her awake otherwise she most probably would've taken a nap around now. Her father answered the phone and they spoke for around fifteen minutes, her father asking if she'd seen anyone yet, asking about her cabin and where she's sleeping. If she'd seen anyone she liked the look of yet. Obviously the answer was no, it was only the first day and to be completely honest, some of the feelings for a previous camper were still there and she hated that. She loved being around him so much but couldn't help feeling used when she thought about it after camp was over. After hanging up the phone from her father, she began to look through her phone, having at least a small rest before going and seeing the others. After a little while of looking through, she made for the bathroom after getting her make up bag and travel brush from her purse. Looking at herself in the mirror she looked like she'd just woken up and was still half asleep so she decided to do everyone a favour and began to touch up her make up and brush her hair. So she at least looking somewhat better and more awake.
After taking a while trying to chill out for a bit and get her thoughts together, she decided to go and actually be social and maybe go and find Audrey. As she exited the red cabin with her black purse hanging from her shoulder, she took a big inhale of the fresh air. The Californian heat and the fresh outdoors, how could that not make anyone happy and give someone so much energy. Maddie smiled to herself and pushed her
sunglasses onto her face, taking another breath of air as she began to head towards the main hall. As she was walking she looked around at all the excited and happy faces of the newcomers and remembered that was how she was last year. But more scared that she wasn't going to make friends. Her gaze moved from the surrounding people and she looked around at the scenery. This place was truly beautiful, she felt so lucky to be able to come here and enjoy her summer in better ways than just staying at home and sitting inside all day. Maddie continued to ramble to herself in her thoughts and she neared the main hall.
