Camp Closeted novel Chapter 5

Walking behind everyone gave me see some time to observe the guys that all looked like living breathing dolls.

I hope no one thinks I'm checking the other guys out like a thirsty troll. I just wanna see the people I'm spending my next 3 months with and a lot of them just so happen to be insanely attractive.

"Okay guys, before I show all of you your cabins, I just wanted to take some time for us to get to know each other." Loud sighs and groans were immediately let out as she quickly spoke again. "I know it might be overwhelming but I'm noticing a lot of new faces in the crowd, so to feel a bit more comfortable and get in the camping spirit, we might as well introduce ourselves right?" She smiled, gesturing all of us to sit near some wooden benches.

I haven't counted the amount of guys here but I know there's a lot. Knowing they're all very attractive and might judge the way I look and my way of introducing myself doesn't help either.

"Okay so we'll go around in a circle. You'll say your name, your favorite hobby, and then your spirit animal!" Ms. Leigh threw all of us a wide smile as I sat by myself, losing Jesse and Trevor in the crowd. "Most of you guys have done this before so it shouldn't be difficult. We'll start with Benny." She ended, waiting for everyone to sit down.

Everyone finally got seated and looked at the kid who was named Benny. "Um, my full name is Benny Bobby Brown, I like listening to the holy music trinity, and my spirit animal is a cockroach." He shrugged, fixing his white weirdly shaped glasses as he made a lot of people laugh.

Ms. Leigh threw him a curious smile. "Last year was Beyoncé, who's the holy music trinity?" She asked politely.

Benny sighed. "Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé, duh." He casually shook his neck as if everyone already knows.

"Oh." She slowly nodded her head, the next person beginning to talk.

"My name is Logan." The next guy introduced, his blue eyes and his silver colored hair capturing all of my attention. "I'm in a band and just to make it cringier my spirit animal would probably be a wolf because why not." He spoke casually, his voice was deep and sounded assertive.

The circle went on and on.

"I'm Trevor, I like to swim and my spirit animal is a dolphin." 

And on.

"The name's Jesse Rezeti. I like cars and I don't have a spirit animal."

"Ashton Morrigan." A boy with jet black hair let out dryly as a strand loosely fell onto his snowy pale face that was avoiding all eye contact. I was slightly surprised to hear his gorgeous English accent.

Ms. Leigh slightly raised her eyebrow at him. "Hobby and spirit animal?" She smiled.

Ashton quickly rolled his eyes and clenched his jaw. "Why the fuck does it matter?" He bluntly let out.

Everyone was undeniably shocked watching Ashton lash out but Ms. Leigh completely remained calm. "Okay, that's okay." She turned away.

"I'm Sascha Evers." The person waved, his eyes politely glancing at everyone. Well at least I think it's a he. Not to be mean or anything but this person was completely androgynous and was attractive in a masculine and feminine way. "I like reading and my spirit animal is a fox." They spoke, tucking some hair behind their ear.

Never seen anyone fall so close in both genders so perfectly.

The circle went quiet as someone's voice snapped me from reality. "It's your turn sweetie!" The counselor politely let out. Oh fuck! It's my turn!

"Uh-um. My name is Micah." I awkwardly muttered, avoiding all possible eye contact with anybody in the circle. "I like to read books, and m-my spirit animal is-" All of a sudden I was cut off by insanely loud music coming from a distance.
