Rowan had a hint of a smile as his friends acknowledged him, a comfortable familiarity he hadn’t realized was absent in this past year. He had friends at college, but that chapter was soon coming to an end and it was nice to have at least a couple people who were consistently in his life, even if they didn’t talk all the time. He’d see them every summer, at least for now. Some of them, anyways. Whatever smile he’d managed had faded quickly as Jonathan began addressing the crowd.
It seemed a bit optimistic to open the camp and Rowan’s gut twisted in irritation at the mention of the police department, remembering the bumbling manner in which they handled the case last year. Questioning everyone at the camp and yet not finding a single suspect? He glanced around at the other campers, seeing several people he’d put at the top of his suspect list… if the suspect was in camp, what would the police department of the neighboring town do? Be there twenty minutes late to clean up their bodies? What good does security that shows up late do? If someone wanted to repeat last year's crime, Jonathan just gave them the perfect timeline to make it happen.
Every time he remembered the police thought it'd been an environmental hazard that caused the sisters to disappear overnight, he wondered how many of the people in Fairview actually had a coherent thought in their lives. Oh, so the Evergreen sisters, who had been going to camp since they were children and were good counselors just disappeared to a mysterious hazard that also caused their bodies to completely disappear? He didn't like Renee, but she had enough survival sense in her bitchy head to survive anything the woods could have thrown at her, but sure. Not to mention Paige, who could do anything she set her mind to. The woods would have been the last thing to take the two of them down.
But what did Rowan know? He was just a dumb jock, the little puppy that followed Paige around when they weren’t fighting. He was sure some people thought it had been him. How couldn’t you? The boyfriend was always the suspect, and with the fights he and Paige had… he shuddered at what people might think.
He never tried to be angry with her, and he was certainly never violent, but he felt like sometimes when they were angry, they reached decibels that had yet to be invented.
As Jonathan made his way off of the stage, Rowan patted Marquis on the shoulder.“Did you see who’s in our cabin?”
He shook his head and glanced at Lou before shifting his gaze to Riley.“They put Lou in there. Who the hell had that idea?”
He was trying to not be irritated by the decision, but the mere presence of Lou (and occasionally some of his other cabinmates) raised his blood pressure to a dangerous level, even when he was trying to get along with him. Lou pushed his buttons in a way many others couldn’t -- it was almost impressive. It seemed like any time they tried to get along, something happened and it caused Rowan to snap.
“Wanna swap with me, Riley?”he joked, bumping her shoulder with his elbow, knowing that a cabin full of boys was certainly not her first choice.

Zarina looked up as the other counselor responded and gave him a tentative smile. She was glad that he seemed at least a little friendly – she hadn’t spoken to many people her age since she’d come to the States and was hoping the camp would be a breath of fresh air (literally) before school started.“Oh, no, this is my first year!”She’d intended to elaborate but Jonathan Evergreen cleared his throat and a wave of whispers echoed throughout the amphitheater of the parents who’d stuck around shushing their camper children and she turned her attention towards the stage.
As she listened to him talk, she could tell that Jonathan Evergreen was good-natured and friendly, but there was a lot of sadness in his voice… in his eyes. She didn’t understand the full context of everything that had happened last year at the camp, but she did know that two Evergreen girls disappeared and were never found. It made her nervous, but knowing that there would eventually be security was a bit comforting. She just hoped that the situation wasn’t actively dangerous, that maybe it was a one-off situation.
The groans about the curfew echoed throughout the amphitheater and she looked around at the faces of disappointment around them. She wondered how many of these kids would actually stick to it or if there would be a lot of sneaking around after hours. Were the counselors expected to adhere to the curfew as well?
Zarina had been planning on trying to start a poker game to make friends at camp… she’d thought about it for a long time and it seemed like the best way to socialize without necessarily making herself the center of attention. Card games were generally the same no matter what country you were from… plus she felt like it gave her an edge, like poker was a game only the "bad girls" played. People at her school typically didn’t expect her to play and it gave her a little bit of a thrill to think that maybe she could subvert the sweet innocent girl expectations at camp.
Though, realistically, she knew she probably wouldn’t. She felt like she looked like a camper, her small stature and baby face always made people think she was younger than she was, a plight she wasn't sure how to escape.
As Jonathan Evergreen left the stage, she stopped fidgeting with her hair tie and put it on her wrist instead. She glanced at the man next to her and gave him a nervous smile.“My name is Zarina, by the way. You said it’s been a while. Have you worked here before?”
