Talia was anxious on the bus. The nice store owners she had been helping had saved up money to send her to camp. It made sure she had food and was taken care of over the summer.
She had her wings tucked in her jacket looking over the pamphlet for the animal exploration camp. She was excited to make some.
david smiled at the children that sat around the mess hall , hands in fists at his hips while he stood proud . the day was the same , he went around the campsite and woke all the campers for breakfast ; the smile only growing wider with each one he collected into the building ; but the truth was , there was a secret . he wanted to spill everything right then and there to them all . however , he needed to keep his composure and wait for the right moment . being as most were eating and news like this could be soexciting, he didn’t need any of the campers choking or lose their appetite from excitement !
the sound of wheels echoed through the mess hall and david snapped out of his daze to rush to the window , hands planted on the cool glass and his face pressed against to see if it was what he was hoping for ; and it was ! the new camper arrived .
❛ campers , i know you are all still eating but i have some amazing news ! we have a special little lady joining camp campbell ! i’m going to go and get here and i want you all to make her feel welcomed to this wonderful camp ! i’ll be right back , campers . ❜
without missing a beat , david was opening the door and hurrying over to the bus to introduce himself to the young woman . the counselor was bouncing on the heels of his feet , unable to keep himself still for even a second ; it was always fun to see what kind of camper would be walking out . would she be an animal lover ? was she an artistic girl ? did she like fishing ? did she like dirt and bugs ? oh , he couldn’t wait to see her .
Talia watched the trees as they drove. The woods were calming to her. She saw the camp come into view and she took a breath mentally preparing herself. She stood putting her backpack on her back as she walked off the bus.
She was very thin for her age and was shorter than most ten year olds. She put on a smile as she looked at the flagpole. It matched the pictures so it had to be the right camp! She couldn’t read yet she was observant so she could use the pictures to match up.
“Oh! Yes thats me. Talia Morganster. It’s very nice to meet you sir.” She smiled politely to the cheerful man.
the young woman walked down the stairs of the bus and david’s heart burst with mixed emotions . happiness was positively there but something was upsetting him , the young one was far too thin and small for her age . based off the the papers sent to him , she was the same age as max ; yet , she was so small and fragile looking . maybe she was a late bloomer . dolph was quite short but then again , he was also two years younger – he can worry about this later !
crouching down , he rest his hands on his knees to be eye-level with the little woman . ❛ it is a pleasure to meet you , miss talia . welcome to camp campbell , i’m your camp counselor , david . if you have any questions or concerns , you can always come to me . there is another counselor , gwen ; she here’s all the time but she may have to take leave on a few days , but you can always go to her as well . she’ll be happy to help you ! ❜
straightening his posture , his fists met his hips again with the smile never failing to leave his face . what a strange and happy man . ❛ how about we go and say hello to the other campers ? ❜ turning sharply on a heel , he began walking towards the mess hall where he was sure his just as excited campers were waiting ; to make sure she was following , he looked over his shoulder and made a small wave with his hand . ❛ have you ate breakfast yet ? ❜
