Theodore: Camp counselor, 15 years old Camp Discovery by Okami Wolf Copyright 2018. All Rights Reserved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summer camp is supposed to be the best part of a summer; but for me, it wasn't going to be. I'm sitting in the car, my suitcase next to me. As we drive along the highway, I look out the window at all the trees. I start to think of what I'd rather be doing, or what any other ten-year old would be doing; reading, surfing the web, drawing, eating, really anything but summer camp. I frown slightly as I see the camp's welcome sign. Soon, I'm out of the car with my suitcase, walking towards the main building. My mom gets me all registered and then brings me to one of the boys' cabins. I'm the only camper there, so I get first choice of beds. There are ten beds total, two sets of wooden bunk beds on one side and three on the other. The last bottom bed on the left was already chosen by the counselor, so I chose the one across from it on the right side of the room. Mom makes my bed for me, then kisses my forehead. I hug her tightly. "I don't want to be here, mom," I say sadly. She just ruffles my hair which makes me flatten my ears. Oh yeah, I'm part furry. I look human but I have wolf ears at the top of my head and a long, fluffy tail. I grab my baseball cap and I put it on. As I do that, Mom talks. "You will be fine, it's just a week, and there aren't many kids here. Also, they won't pick on you, I talked with the director. He promised me they wouldn't." She says sweetly. I hug her goodbye. "I love you, Mom," I say as I scratch my foot with my other foot. "I love you, too, Champ," she then walked back to her car and leaves. I'm all alone now, nobody is around. I walk back to my bed and I get my jeans on. I put them on a special way, so my tail is going along my leg and is hidden. I don't want anyone to know my secret. I then lay on my bed and get my notebook. I start to draw a field, but it looks bad. I crumple it up and throw it to the trash. I miss and frown. "Ugh!!" I say loudly as I roll over and lay down. Minutes later the door opens and I hear footsteps. Oh God, what if he can tell? I ask myself and pretend to sleep. The footsteps reach my bed and I go rigid. "Hey? You awake?" A soft voice asks me, and I feel my ears twitch under my hat. Luckily my hair covers where human ears are. He then places a hand on my shoulder and I roll over to face him. "What?" I asked rudely, not appreciating being touched. I scowl at him, trying to act scary. He just giggles and removes his hand. "I'm Theodore," he says as he goes and sits on the already made bed. He has soft blue eyes and black hair. His face looks soft, and he looks cuddly. His face looks kind of tired, and strong, yet very gentle. "I'm the counselor, you must be Cody, cute name." He says with a grin, and I blush lightly and nod my head. "Well, lunch is in a few minutes, and it looks like it's just us here, the other 2 cabins were filled, and all 3 of the girl's ones were also." He says. I stand up and brush my jeans. He giggles and walks to the door. After I go through, I walk to the other big building, on the edge of the lake. He leads me to a table and I sit down. He sits next to me and glares at me, not saying anything. The cafeteria soon fills up with people, but everyone sits by cabin, so it's just us two at the table. I look confused by his glaring. "What?" I ask as I tap the fork against the table. "No hats inside the cafeteria." He says as he rolls his eyes. I blush darkly as I start to look scared. "What, you bald under there or something? He asked me. I fidget with it and take it off, my ears popping up. My face is now bright red, and I can feel everyone else look at me and I feel like crying. I put my elbows on the table and put my face in my hands. "Y-you have dog ears?" He asks me in awe, but I think it's fake. "Y-yeah..." I say as I want to hide away in the bathroom, but I don't want to walk past everyone. The director of the camp walks by and clears his throat. Everyone stops staring but I can hear them whisper. I lost my appetite but still, Theodore makes me go up to eat, which means I have to walk in front of almost everybody. I start to walk but stumble and people giggle. I then get a plate and just get a few of the dinner rolls, and Kool-aid. I sit back down and start to eat. During supper, the director talked about how the camp is set up, and what goes on. After lunch is rest hour, then we have a Bible meeting. Oh yeah, this is a Christian camp, which is another reason I don't want to be here. After that meeting is free time until supper. After supper is another Bible meeting and choice time. Then it's time for the whole camp to play a game. After the game, you get 30 mins to take a shower and get ready for bed, then it's devotional and bed. In the morning is breakfast, Bible meeting, activity, and then lunch. Then you keep doing that. After that, we pray and start to eat. The rolls are super yummy, I forget everyone staring at me as I eat. Once I'm done I wait for lunch to be over. "Hey Cody, it's time to go back to the cabin." Theodore says, grinning. I nod my head and walk there. On the way out another camper trips me and I fall face first in the dirt. "O-ow.." I say as I roll onto my back and stand up. I don't notice my nose is bleeding till Theodore says something. "Um, Cody, your nose is bleeding," he says as he takes my hand and starts walking me to the nurse. I frown and follow. Once we are there he tells the nurse, "This is Cody, he got tripped." I look shy, my ears flattened against the top of my head. "H-hi." I manage to say. The nurse has me sit down and she puts a gloved hand on the bridge of my nose and holds it. "So, you have wolf ears, do you have a tail?" The nurse asks me, interested in me. I nod my head and Theodore's eyes widen. "Could I see it?" She asks. I blush darkly and take it out of my pants. I have to loosen them so it doesn't hurt. She puts her hands on it and feels it. I can tell she is amazed. Theodore is also amazed, and he moves so he can see it. It's black and really fluffy. "C-can I go rest now?" I ask her and she nods. I then put my tail back in my pants and walk to the cabin. "Your tail is super cute, I love tails and ears like yours," Theodore says. I smile slightly and go in the cabin. I get on my bed and curl up in it. I then take off my pants and put on sweatpants, with a hole for my tail. I wag it freely. "I'm gonna try and nap," I say as I curl up and drift off. When I wake, I notice Theo sitting on his bed, watching me. Was he doing that the entire time I was asleep?. Theo gets up and walks over to me. He gently picks me up and set me on his lap. "How was your nap?" He asks as he combs my hair with his fingers. I blush darkly at him, but don't scoot away. I smile up at him. "It was good," I say as my tail gently wraps around him. "What do we do for activity?" I ask and he smiles. "We can just hang out here if you want, it's quieter," He says and I smile happily "Ok!" I say and snuggle into Him "That sounds like fun, Theo," I say sweetly as I tighten my tail around him. He then lays down and curls up around me. "I'm gonna nap again," I say and I drift off to sleep, Theo pulling me tight against him. When I wake, Theo is sitting beside me, playing on his phone. His hair's wet, did he take a shower? "When is snack time?" I ask him, hungry. "The snack shack is open, do you wanna go get something?" He asked and giggles "I'll give you a piggyback ride," He offers happily and I nod my head. "I want a snack!" I get out of bed and go to my suitcase. I get my wallet and pull out a few dollars. "Piggyback time!" I say with a grin. I jump onto his back and hold onto him tightly. We walk outside to the snack shack. I hear people laughing at me and see them pointing but I keep my tail high, looking proud. As we get to the door he sets me down. I walk in and smile. The inside has 5 different booths for eating and a big selection of candy. I go to the counter and see they also sell ice cream. "One big vanilla ice cream please!" I say and hand the lady my money. "Thanks, I'll get it for you, sweetie." She says and ruffles my hair. I blush darkly and move my tail to my chest. I hug it as I wait. A few minutes later she comes back with a bowl of 4 scoops and a big cone. My eyes grow wide. "Woah..." I say under my breath. I take Theo's hand and walk to a booth. I start eating and offer him some from my spoon. He takes it and we end up sharing it all. My tail is wagging fast and I suddenly stop eating. I place my head in my hands and blush darkly "b-brain freeze..." I say as I bite my cheek. "It's gonna be ok, jam your tongue against the roof of your mouth," Theo instructs me. I do it and the freeze quickly goes away. "W-wow, thank you!" I say almost Lovingly. I let him finish the ice cream. "What now?" I ask, looking around. "I'd say you should shower." He says as he throws the now empty ice cream container away. He takes my hand and walks me to the cabin to get my towel, then he tells me to go shower. I walk to the bathroom and get in the shower stall. I strip down and realize I don't have soap. I wrap myself in a towel and walk back to the cabin to grab some. Once I'm back, I turn on the shower and scream "AHH!" as cold water sprays all over my body. I quickly jump back to let the water warm up, I then start to wash myself. I turn off the water once I have rinsed the last of the soap off my body. I hear someone come into the showers, then shouting from outside the stall I am in. "Hey Fur Fag!" A loud and scary sounding voice says as the boy pounds on my stall door. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first attempt at a story, I hope you all enjoyed!
