Desolation row

"Out! Out you dirty animals! Out you go!" The bus driver said shooing us out the door. This isn't the camp where you wait around for an hour trying pull your stuff out from under others. People here didn't bring a lot so we mostly brought it on the bus with us.
I turned my music off and put it in my pocket. We got off last.
" mlady," frank scooped up my baggage and carried it for me.
" what'd you do that for?" I asked.
" see I'm a gentlemen, unlike Gerard, i'll carry your stuff and let you take my seat," frank said. I thought it was cute. Few guys are like that nowadays.
" see, I told you he'd still bang you," Gerard deadpanned. Frank blushed and punched him.
" I'm not just a gentlemen to girls I want to fuck. Anyways welcome to sunrock." Frank smiled. I honestly don't see anything cool about this place... A few cabins, a cafeteria and hiking trails. We are still in the middle of nowhere and still in the desert.
The head of the camp walked out. He looked like a freeze-dried hippie. Long brown-grey hair, mustache, blue jeans, camp shirt and a necklace with some sort of crystal on it. He made his speech about the rules and what not. The boys still looked happy.
The only cool thing is,the camp hippie said, since we would not get along if he randomly chose our cabins we got to choose our own. I looked around at the other people. I'm not one to make friends. I was going to just sit in the shade until someone took me in.
" c'mon ramona follow us," frank pulled me by my wrist and out if my train of thought.
" cabin 15, follow ray,"
the hippie didn't say anything about having opposite gender in the cabin with you or really the number of beds in a cabin or how many cabins or what to do after your finished unpacking. Just like the rest of him his brain seemed out of touch.
So I followed the fro next to frank, who still wouldn't let me carry my own stuff, up a small hillside towards the cabins. All of the cabins seems sunburned and wrecked. We passed several cabins but didn't stop. A few other people joined the group following us to the cabin including some girls. Everybody socialized except me and frank, we walked silently up the hill.
Soon all of the cabins were far behind us as well as the camp. 'Oh great,' I thought ' they are going to jump you and take your stuff and then leave you up here to die in the heat,' but after a few more minutes of walking in the beating sun I saw a tiny brown cabin in the distance.
" it used to be the countsolers cabin back when we had countsolers," frank explained.
Despite how run-down the place looked when I entered I was greeted with air conditioning. Gerard collapsed onto a bunk with a big smile. All around I herd 'ahhs'. I just stood there awkwardly. Everybody seemed to already know their place and bed. The place was really cool. It was one big room but every bed set back in the wall with a dresser and desk. The areas reminded me of closets almost. They were already personalized for they person with leftover stuff still on the dresser and bedding still on the bed. So everyone has been here before.
Like before I just followed frank. I trusted him, sorta. He walked over to the back corner. His bed had plain dark blue bedding and his desk had old random things like concert tickets, desert rocks, photos of girls, cars, and his most likely parents. He put both of our bags on the ground near his bed and hopped onto the bed. He patted the bed sheets next to him.
" c'mon I don't bite, unless you beg," frank smirked. I laughed at his attempt to be sexy. He shrugged and I sat on the bed next to him. Gerard was unpacking directly across from us. Even though I couldn't really see his face he seemed to be smirking. I watched frank unpack not knowing what to do.
" Jen is in the can, so ramona can sleep in her bed but she'll have to sleep with you tonight while we clean out Jen's stuff," the girl talked to frank like I wasn't there not even looking at me. Sleep with frank? No thank you.
" that was Cassie." Frank said. Then he made a pouty face.
" what's the face?" I giggled
" I thought we would have more time to snuggle other than one night," frank whined. So this was not anticipated I wouldnt've had a Bed if some chick didn't go to jail? I laughed and so did Gerard, obviously eavesdropping.
Jen's bed was one over from Gerard's in between mikey and bob bryar.( who looks like a orangutan but is really nice)
I didn't meet everybody in the cabin just hung out with Gerard and frank until we herd a knock on the door. It Was the hippie. And it's dinner time.
