       she’s the girl with the LEADING score in firing rounds. might as well call her a SHOT CALLER. she will find herself fighting DEATH at every corner, but she will face it HEAD ON. she will never show them the COUNTLESS moments she’s lost her aim. the stress of carrying the burden of COMMANDER. she’s the girl with the SMILE on her face, cunning words, & make no mistake she will always be packing the H E A T.

contrary  to  what  people  might  think  about  him  ,  usually  keeping  himself  off  to  the  distance  unless  he’s  needed  or  running  one  of  his  classes  in  the  morning  or  afternoon  ,  ryan  doesn’t  mind  the  group  activites  with  the  campers  &  some  of  the  other  counselors  ;  especially  when  its  a  campfire  night  where  he  can  sit  in  the  middle  of  a  circle  &  tell  the  kids  about  the  latest  ghost  (  or  random  creature  /  monster  ,  but  don’t  tell  chris  )  story  that  he  had  been  listening  to  before  he  even  came  to  camp  .  half  the  time  the  campers  seemed  pretty  excited  to  get  these  tales  ,  though  he  usually  hones  in  on  that  instead  of  the  ones  who  are  recoiling  in  their  seats  .

ryans  picking  up  some  of  the  abandoned  smores  sticks  as  kaitlyn  is  rounding  the  kids  to  get  to  bed  ,  pausing  when  he  hears  her  directing  his  attention  to  him  .  he  looks  toward  her  ,  offering  a  small  smile  &  shrug  .  “  hey  ,  no  problem  .  i  like  sharing  the  stories  .  whole  point  of  camp  ,  you  know  ?  ”  he  pauses  ,  thinking  for  a  moment  before  bending  down  to  grab  another  stick  .  “  you  want  to  hear  more  from  the  same  story  ,  or  another  one  ?  ”

    she IMAGINES jacob trying to tell her to make a move at some point, but this is just casual conversation. kaitlyn can hear him SPOUTING that cliche latin phrase to seize the moment, but she does want to get to know him considering they’ll be here for two months. deft fingers reach for the s’more she’d been saving for herself before taking a bite. there was nothing like the GUSHINESS of a hot marshmallow & chocolate topped with graham cracker crust that really hit the spot. kaitlyn was pretty content with seeing the kids ENJOY themselves, it was the point of camp & she would check that off as another successful event. ❝  sharing is caring. i’m a sucker for a good horror one. you don’t mind doing another one of these with me? i feel like you were a narrator in your past life.❞

   ❝   surprise me, mysterious one.❞ fingers reach to curl a strand of her hair along the shell of her ear. kaitlyn wonders what story he’s actually going to go with. a part of her is curious on his KNOWLEDGE about all the random monster stories & where he heard them.

    SURVIVAL. it’s a natural instinct that they all have. its the FUEL in their gas tank that allowed them to stay alive. for kaitlyn it’s safe to say she can still remember the SMELL of gunpowder & blood. the blood that SMEARED them in deaths & the media frenzy that followed. she wasn’t PREPARED for that in a way, it somehow heightened her interest in working for a PR firm. kaitlyn has to say the MEDIA are HUNTSPEOPLE trying to make them PREY, so that they could get their INSIDE SCOOP. she wonders about the others some times, in a way they were those plastic bags on the highways DRIFTING between cars.

     she takes a sip of her hot coffee before grabbing a bite of her PASTRY. sometimes she feels like she’s going to get STOPPED by someone who would probably want a PICTURE. the world is ATTRACTED to trauma the way they have an addiction to TRUE CRIME documentaries. her parents on the other hand? they were worried, SMOTHERED her in affection & wanted her to stay home for longer than a week. they text her everyday & call her every sunday just to have a check-in. a smile APPEARS on her face when she’s greeted by the taller person before her.

    ❝ i was worried you were going to FLAKE on me. you know how to keep a girl waiting, don’t you? ❞ he was one of the few people that kaitlyn kept in TOUCH with. maybe the whole scrapyard heart to heart had something to do with it, but at least there’s someone who UNDERSTANDS what she went through.  ❝ five bucks says were going to get stopped for a picture.  ❞ there was some LEVITY to this conversation, but she needs a break from all the CRAZINESS that her life has become.

                 history. it has a REDUNDANT nature of repeating itself, so she can’t help but roll her eyes the way jacob seems to be bragging. he was equal parts a braggadocious & sensitive jock but, he could be ENDEARING in some ways. this was not one of those moments as kaitlyn takes a sip of her drink.  ❝ uhuh, ❞ she states with a lack of ENTHUSIASM in her voice. almond eyes peer up at the taller male, before telling him,  ❝ is that what you and emma call it? a distraction from all the bullshit. ❞ anyone could see that there was something more going on between them. for kaitlyn? maybe just PINING from afar on the sexy, brooding sailing instructor was enough for her.

         the thing about distractions is that eventually they stop becoming DIVERSIONS for whatever it is you’re running away from. she knows the DANGERS of getting into a summer fling, it’s the SLIPPERY slope of gaining feelings or not. it’s an UPHILL hike to either getting hurt or not. so in a way, kaitlyn is worried about him.  ❝ careful, jake. i would say you’re catching feelings. at this point you’re going to be saying, emma do you love me ? are you riding?❞

        she takes the moment to dip her fry into her ketchup before a smirk appears on her face.  ❝ this is not going to distract me from the fact that you’ll still owe me when i’m RIGHT about this.❞

      there’s nothing like the smell of burnt marshmallows & graham crackers to SIGNIFY the picturesque moment of summer camp. kaitlyn finds coming up with PLANS for fun is something that comes with ease. it starts with COMMUNICATING & having some sort of repertoire with the other counselors. it’s the stage of BUILDING a house of cards, neatly stacked, & watching everything come to play that makes it all the more satisfying to kaitlyn. a smile appears on soft lips before she claps her hands.  ❝ all right kids, BED TIME. don’t tell your parents i let you stay up a little. ❞ she’s teasing but trying to adhere to the rules that mr. h set up for them.    ❝ before i hear but kaitlyn i wanna stay up, if you guys are good i’ll reward you with a surprise later. ❞ at the end of the day, sometimes she has to give them a little incentive. she watches as the reluctantly start to head towards the cabins.

       speaking of, she has to admit that ryan is easy on the eyes so maybe this is her incentive. kaitlyn hasn’t spoken to him much but she’ll admit she’s INTRIGUED.    ❝ hey, thanks for helping me out tonight. the kids looked into it. care to share anymore? ❞
