Heather took the net and motioned to the paddles, her hair drizzled with flecks of water thanks to Shino. "If you opened your eyes and looked a little closer, you'd have seen that they're back here," she laughed, gently tapping him on the head with one of the paddles. "You and Ryukaa can paddle...

RILEY HARPERRiley nodded thoughtfully, tugging at a long strand of hair behind her ear. She was about to respond to Lou, happy to be able to open up to someone regardless of the fact that it was indirect, when she heard J's loud voice call the campers. Luckily, she hadn't reacted to the sound...

RILEY HARPERLou appeared to be growing more comfortable around the group as time passed, as was she. He showed a lot of enthusiasm when it came to talking about music, but she found it rather cute so she didn't really mind. Describing music was a difficult thing to do, but she understood because...

RILEY HARPERWondering how to start up the conversation again, Riley could only stare at Lou as he spoke. He had a good way with words, since he'd managed to calm her down somehow. She kind of flinched as he brushed her shoulder, since she wasn't quite used to socializing with people, much less...

RILEY HARPERToby had returned, putting her more at ease, but that didn't take away from the fact that she felt out of place and awkward. The more she lingered, the stronger the need to leave grew, but then again, these feelings were from the same antisocial freak who formerly hated to engage in...

RILEY HARPER"Uh... no, it's fine, really. He's just a little nervous," Riley answered. "You're fine. I like it when you talk," she added, encouraging her to speak more. It was best to have at least one open person in the group, since everyone seemed so quiet. She wasn't too sure about Lou, yet...

RILEY HARPERA second later, her smile had somewhat faded. Toby was growing increasingly nervous, and for some odd reason, it was bothering her more than it should. Suddenly, he left the group. Her first instinct was to follow him. It was almost as if solitude was calling her. She held back...

RILEY HARPERAnother girl popped up, almost out of nowhere. "Hello," she murmured, nodding slightly in her direction. Riley blinked in the direction of which she'd come from, where there were two other females who seemed to be arguing. Meanwhile, Riley had been keeping an eye on Toby, who was...

RILEY HARPERRiley was feeling a little bit better about the whole idea of camp, especially because it had previously seemed like she was going to be totally alone. "Come on," she said, motioning to Toby. Riley approached the person cautiously. She didn't want them to be mad for bothering them...

RILEY HARPER"So... neither of us are people persons. Um... okay. Uh, that's fine." Riley swallowed hard and looked around. So many people. She wished that one of them would be singled out so that it would be easier for her to talk to them, but it seemed that everyone was occupied. Riley sent a...

RILEY HARPERRiley nodded at Toby and stood up. "Where are we supposed to go? I'm kind of clueless about this place since I just got here. Like... um, okay. Who should we talk to?" she asked, trying to figure out which group of people the two should approach. "I'm sorry. I'm not really good with...

Heather laughed; at least someone in her group was enthusiastic about the whole thing. "I'm freezing," she complained, jokingly. She was beginning to show a little concern for Shino, though. It seemed that he'd a drinking problem, but she didn't know how to address it without seeming intrusive...

RILEY HARPER"Yeah, we could go back. We could make other friends. But really... don't talk like that. I'm 100% sure that people care about you. I do. And I know that someone who cares would hate to see you say something like that when you're looking right at them. You're cute and funny, and you...

RILEY HARPER"Oh, that's nice. I'm 18, too. Turned recently, actually, in, uh, June," she responded. Riley followed his gaze, watching the blue waters. He made her feel better about joining the camp. Maybe her mother was right. Socializing wasn't as bad as it had seemed before. Then again, this...

RILEY HARPER"You really don't seem like the type of person to have trouble making friends. You're a natural!" Riley laughed, squeezing his hand. Finally, someone who she could be comfortable around. For now, at least. She trusted him. "What else should I know? Well, okay. Let's see. How old are...

RILEY HARPER"Holy shit, you have horrible friends," Riley murmured. "Or, used to, right?" she said, reassuringly. "I'm... a good friend, I think." She cleared her throat, swallowing. Deciding it would be best to not introduce herself as a depressed workaholic, she chose to play it safe. "I'm...

RILEY HARPER"Yeah, no, go right ahead. I don't have anything better to be doing, honestly. And... I really think you're kind of, you know, okay, so I want to be your friend," she admitted, openly. It was okay to be vulnerable around Toby. At least, she hoped so. He didn't seem like the type of...

RILEY HARPER"Thanks," she said, referencing the compliment to her name. Her eyebrows rose at the idea of being beaten up. She'd endured some physical bullying, but none as severe as being beaten up. The worst she'd gotten was a black eye and a broken pinky. "Um- okay, so, if you want to talk...

RILEY HARPER"Cool, Toby - um, your name's really nice," Riley replied, awkwardly. She bit her lower lip. God, she was just so bad at introductions. She exhaled, trying to calm herself down. "So... what brings you to the camp?" she asked, casually. As she waited for their response, she took in...

RILEY HARPERRiley found that she was getting unnoticed. Perhaps it was because she hadn't spoken up; no, that was definitely the case. Sighing, she thought that it would be better to get herself acquainted with someone. It was better than being a complete loner. She started to walk around the...
