I spent the rest of the day alone. The idea of going back to my cabin was scary. Surely Belle and her fiends wouldn't want to talk to me after they saw me with David.
I returned to my cabin just before the opening ceremony to change my clothes. When I entered the room, Mary run up to me. "Finally!" she exclaimed.
"Where you been? We were waiting for you. Cmon, get dressed and don't forget to wear something warm. There'll be a cookout instead of our usual dinner." To my surprise, all my cabinmates were quite friendly and even gave me advice on what to wear. I did not understand anything, but I had no time to think. We had to hurry up and go to the ceremony.
The ceremony took place just outside the dining hall. It started with raising the flag which (remind) me of our summer camps in Russia where we (use to) do the same thing. And then everybody (start) singing.
It was a camp song and most of the campers knew it by heart. I looked around to see how many new people there were and soon realized that I was not the only one. I cheered up and decided to ask Mary to write the words of the song down for me. Then the camp director stepped into the centre and welcomed everybody to a new year in Camp Pineland. I liked his speech. It was short and witty. When the director finished his speech, a tall woman with grey hair took his place. She looked familiar and I remembered that I just had seen her yesterday. It was Meredith Nutt, the head counsellor. I heard a sigh next to me. It was Mary. She whispered into my ear: "We call her the Crunch. She is the most pompous person I have ever known and her speech is always the longest. So prepare to sit here for a while. Every year we play a little game. Each of us write one of the Crunch's favourite words on a list and we count how many times she says them during her big speech. The one whose word gets mentioned the most times is the winner. My pick this year is: pride. Just count the words with me. Belle has choosen lifelong friendships, Hailey has taken supervision, and Cindy, safety."
