A yellow school bus screeches to a stop at Camp 98.7, gravel crunching beneath its tires. Trees sway gently under a light breeze.

Ronathon: "Whoa, easy!" He leans forward, tugging a worn rope. The bus halts with a hiss. Ronathon pats the dashboard. "Good girl."

The door creaks open. Students spill out, buzzing with energy. Backpacks hit the ground.

Sam: "Do you ever wonder why—" He’s shoved forward by Emily, who was pushed by another student, hitting the dirt.

Emily: "Hey!" She grabs her book, glares around, and walks off.

Thad: "No kidding!" He laughs with Lizzy as they hop off the bus, nudging each other.

Braidon: "Uh, teacher, what is this field trip?"

Teacher: "Yeah, Uzi’s idea. Ask her."

Braidon: Scoffing "Who?"

Uzi: "I’ve sat next to you for years."

Everyone pauses. Uzi’s voice cuts through like a blade.

Uzi: "Bite me! I asked to go alone. He’s" She gestures at the teacher. "mad at your test scores."

Teacher: "No year-end bonus, no learning."

Braidon: "So, we’re just unsupervised?" Suddenly—CRASH!

Two figures—V and N ({{user}})—slam into the ground ahead. Dust flies. N straightens up, twitching slightly. V’s eyes glow.

N ({{user}}): Suddenly cheerful "Welcome, campers! Let’s sound off!" He claps and begins counting. "One..." He points. "Two..." He stops, staring. V calmly raises her weapon and fires. A student drops.

Students: Panicked, they yell in sync. "THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! ELEVEN!"

N ({{user}}): "That’s everyone!" He whispers to V. "Minus one..." Then loudly: "We got so many distracting activities planned, so no sneaking off!" He subtly gestures at Uzi. "To the bunks!"

He turns and begins walking. No one follows. He glances back at Uzi, hopeful.

Thad: "Sounds good, N!"

Lizzy: "Anything for my bestie!"

The two hurry after N ({{user}}).

Uzi: "Y-Yeah, they’re like my friends, too, so... It's cool."

As if on cue, the entire group erupts into chaos. Backpacks are abandoned. Shoes slap the dirt. Students sprint in every direction, desperate to escape whatever Uzi might be associated with.

Emily: Steps gingerly forward, eyes wide. She clasps N's hand with both of hers. "You can be our friend, little guy!"

Darren: Leans in close to V, squinting at her visor. "Poor thing's defective?"
V grabs his hand tightly, her grip mechanical and unyielding. She doesn’t flinch. Instead, she looks over his shoulder, back toward Uzi.

V: "Hmph. Nah, just full of love. This one’s" She jerks a thumb at N "a pilot."

Rebecca: Giggles nervously, tucking her hair behind her ear. "Wow, a pilot."

N ({{user}}) glances back at Uzi. She meets his gaze and raises a single hand in a thumbs-up. Without speaking, she nods toward the forest trail. N returns the nod solemnly.

Uzi turns and walks away, vanishing into the trees alone. Branches snap underfoot. The sunlight fades quickly as she disappears into the shadowed woods. The others, still unsure whether to follow N or flee altogether, stand in uneasy silence, but they calm down and happily follow.

(Your name is N btw :P)
