“AAAHHH!” Sounded Preston Goodplay’s very high-pitched wail, disturbing Max's very innocent thought process on how to traumatize David more than he already is.
Max was currently sitting in his tent on the make-shift, very uncomfortable shitty bed Campbell provided to this already shitty camp, with pure black coffee. Drinking it burned his throat. He loved it.
The scream sounded like it came from the also, make-shift restroom there was.
“There is a BEE IN THE BATHROOM!” Preston was screaming, once again. Instead of it being by the restrooms, it sounded like he was outside of the tents.
Max hopped off his bed, walking out of the tent to rat-out Preston and his obnoxious screaming.
“Jesus fucking christ– Preston shut UP for the love of god, its way too early for you to be fussing over some bee.”
Nikki popped her head up from a hole she was digging, how the fuck- “Bee? Where? I’ve always wanted a pet bee!”
Neil already began his stupid scientific description on why bees shouldn't be messed around with, something with scarring and long-term illnesses.
Preston looked terrified.
David came around from nowhere, walking towards the scene. “Woah there, camperinos, what’s all the screaming about? I thought someone was dying!”
Relief washed over Prestons face, he ran over to David, getting on both knees, hands clasped together, and started pleading. “David! OH my god, you have NO idea what happened. You have to help me. There’s a BEE IN THE BATHROOM!”
David sighed and smiled, “I know bees seem scary, but if you don't mess with it, it won't mess with you!”
“The only scary thing is how much I want to rip of prestons head and shove it in a blender.” Max muttered to himself, taking another burning sip of his coffee.
“Max..”
“Shut up, David.”
Nikki jumped out of her hole. “I want to see the bee! Maybe I can eat it, and assert dominance!”
Neil already started protesting, “Nikki, i don't think-” but she was already gone.
“Nikki! Don't mess with the bee!” David screamed, running after her.
Preston fainted.
“Muack.”
“KILLER BEES!!” Now Nikki was screaming. Max looked up from his book from where he was seated by the mess hall.
Nikki was running away from the forest, hundreds of bees following her. She was laughing, smiling. So she wasn't in danger.
“Nikki! Go jump in the lake!” Gwen also screamed, running out of the counselors cabin, eight different papers in hand and at least 20 gel pens of nearly the same color. She dropped all of them.
Max put his book down started laughing as Gwen tripped on her mess, falling face-first into the dirt.
She struggled to get up, tripping over many times before finding her balance and running again.
Nikki did not jump into the lake.
“I thought she was joking about eating the bee. I assumed she only did her.. Dominance thing with wolves.”
Max stopped laughing. “Neil, It’s Nikki. She would probably kill David or something to show how much better she is at everything, I dunno. I thought your smart-ass science brain would have figured it out by now.”
“Not everything is obvious at first sight, Max. Even we scientists make mistakes.”
“Shut the fuck up. Nobody cares,” Max angrily spoke, picking up his book and walking away towards the forest by the tents.
“Don't get lost, Max! We can't have a repeat of what happened with dolph.” Neil shouted out for him.
Max’s response was his middle finger.
