SATURDAY EVENING - OFFICIAL PARTY TIME

[went_camp]

I'm glad Tobey and Hayden came to help me and as I walk back outside after the shower I see Joaquin has finished the party area. There's lanterns and lights, food on the tables, badminton racquets and frisbees, everything looks really nice

I'm walking around with my digital camera in hand. I had forgotten to take it with me when I left my cabin the first time, and made sure I got it now.

I was notified of a get-together this evening, and roamed around trying to find it. I see lights and entire set up and know that has to be it. Looks like I'm one of the first people here too.

"Hello there," I greet the obvious camper walking towards me. "Welcome to the party. I'm Wentworth Miller, teacher and camp supervisor, but please no mister or sir, just Went or Wentworth," I say quickly before he has a chance to answer me.

[camper_elijah]

I smile nervously and nod. "I'm Elijah, camper. It's nice to meet you. You have an interesting name."

[went_camp]

"Thank you," I smile at Elijah, i can sense he's a bit nervous so I'm going to take it easy with him. "It's a family name. I like it now, but when I was younger I hated it," I chuckle playfully hopefully I can help Elijah relax.

[camper_elijah]

I shrug, keeping a small smile on my face. "My name's... a name. There's nothing really special about it." I look around, still noticing no one showing up. "Is everyone suppose to come to his?"

[went_camp]

"Elijah is a nice name," I smile. "And yes I'm hoping more people will show up," I look around too. "Some people were here, but I think they went for a walk or play something. Do you like to play anything? Soccer perhaps?"

[camper_elijah]

I shake my head slowly. "I-I don't do sports," I say and hold up my camera. "I take photographs. It's the only thing I've ever been good at."

[went_camp]

"Wow, that's interesting," I nod and smile at him. "I haven't really concentrated on photography. I mean, I take photos, but they are just for fun."

The campers are all so different and they like different things. It will be wonderful to see them do what they are best at, but hopefully they will get interested in new things too.

[camper_elijah]

"I take them for fun too. I like just taking snap shots, but I have a natural telent for it." I'm relaxing a little more, talking to someone that shares the same interest always helps me. I wonder if I'd be able to see some of the picture's he's done sometime.

[went_camp]

"That's really nice to hear," I nod, it's always wonderful to hear about people's talents. "Perhaps you can be even better photographer after you leave the camp. You should probably have a talk with the art teacher and see if he can help you," I smile at Elijah. "Hey, do you want something to eat or drink?"

I remember the full tables Ms. Staunton has set up for us with all the drinks and food.

[camper_elijah]

"Thanks," I say quietly and turn to the offered table. "Uhm, sure. Just something to drink is fine for now." I grab a soda and look at the can with a small smile. I wonder if Kevin is going to show up.

[went_camp]

"So how do you like the place so far?" I take a soda and go stand next Elijah.

[camper_elijah]

"It's nice, I guess. I haven't seen too much of it though."

[went_camp]

"You have plenty of time to see what we have here," I smile and sip my drink. "Is this your first day here?"

[camper_elijah]

"Too much time, maybe," I mumble quietly into the soda can and take a drink, then nod. "Yeah, I got here earlier today"

[went_camp]

"Right, did you find your cabin alright? I hope you had some help," I wish I could be there to meet everyone, but there's still some paper work I need to do.

I look at Elijah, but I also notice that more people are starting to find our little party.
