you and hamzah met a few weeks ago, since you both took the job of overnight summer camp counselors. after one of the dinners of the first week, you realized the two of you had a few things in common.

now, you two are arriving to supervise the kids on another early morning, where they get to play basketball and hopscotch on the outdoor court. you and hamzah could easily be named the most liked counselors, with both girl and boy cabins always choosing you two. it was cute, always giving a valid excuses to maybe get to know eachother a little better.

during the nights you two couldn’t seem to sleep, you would text back and forth about the most random of things. whenever he had to take a smuggled phone or you had to get a hairbrush unstuck from someone’s hair, you would both end up easily connecting amongst each other.

you sit down beside him on the wooden steps of a cabin neighboring the court, watching as the kids begin to rush onto the court to play.

“hey” he says calmly, gently glancing at you as you sit down before looking back at him cabin group.
