Everyone finished the test and was allowed to swim.
Annika found an old camp friend and was talking to her.
Otis was kinda hanging around the side, not wanting to go on the dving board or AquaWall, afraid that he might be noticed.
Calista found Brennan and they decided to swim around he pool, racing and playing various games with other campers.
Annika's old camp friend (Calleigh) saw her friend and went off to play with her. Annika found Otis and started talking to him.
“Marco!” One of the other campers half yelled with their hands over their hands. “Polo!” Calista and Brennan said from next to each other, ready to push of each other and swim in opposite directions if ‘Marco’ came their way.
Annika noticed some campers playing Marco,Polo and decided to join them.
Otis kinda clung to the side.
The lifeguard blew his whistle. Time to get out!
Annika and Otis went to dry off and headed back to their cabins for bed prep.
Annika would take a shower the next day, so she went into a stall and got changed.
She wore this:
and this:
Calista and Brennan walked back to their Cabis, Brennan walking Calista to hers before going to his own.
Calista threw on an oversized hoodie of her fathers and some track shorts.
Brennan put on a pair of pajama shorts and a matching top.
Otis put on a solid white t-shirt and some pale white shorts.
After everyone was done with their showers, Ayanna told everyone to come sit on the floor "We're gonna play a get-to-know-you game. We're all gonna gather in a circle and hold out one hand. Close your eyes and pick a hand. Whoevers hand you touch, go and sit somewhere and talk." Annika got Calista. Otis' cabin did the same thing and he got Brennan.
Calista followed Annika to a bed and sat down. “Well my names Calista”
Brennan did the same with Otis. “I’m Brennan”
Annika smiled. "Sup. I'm Annika. Do you sing?"
Otis bit his lip. "Hi. I-I'm Otis."
“I do” she said with a smile.
“I don’t bite. You don’t have to be nervous.” Brennan smiled at him.
Otis shyly smiled. He's nice. But why doesn't he get that some people are just BORN shy? Otis wondered. "So,um-do you play an instrument?'
Annika smiled. "Good." She held up one finger for 'just a second'. Annika crawled under the bed and pulled out a guitar and pick. She grinned. "Do you know Amazing Grace?"
“Who doesn’t? I also know The Star Spangled Banner in three part harmony” she said with a smile.
“No I don’t. I’m not really one for music. I’ll sing and stuff but not just because. I’m more of an athletic type” he responded.
Annika giggled. The two went out and sat on a bench out back after getting permission from Ayanna. "Do you only know the original, or do you also know 'This is Amazing Grace'?"
"Oh! Or we could do Beautiful Day! Do you know Beautiful Day by Jamie Grace? Oh my gosh, there are SO many songs that I love playing, oh my gosh."
“Just the original. I think the originals are always better for most everything. Songs, movies, ecetera.
"Yeah…do you know Beautiful Day?"
“I don’t know that one either.”
"Oh. Do you know anything by Jamie Grace?"
(Lemme just list all the guitar songs that might be good:)
(Jamie Grace Songs (the only ones that I know are hold me and you lead.)
(um…..you suggest. If it's Christian, I probs know it…)
