"This is stupid," Samuel muttered under his breath as he was ushered into the mess hall, except this time it wasn't for food, it was some kind of friendship bracelet making crap. He tried to get out of it but one glaring look from a counselor made him shrink back and oblige. It wasn't like he actually make anything, he could just sit there in silent protest. He took a seat at the back corner of the room, leaning back against the wall as he stared down at the bundles of thread that was laid out to use and some instructions of how to weave. In the front of the room the doors were still opened for people to come in. |

Blake was already inside, ready to make whatever crafts they had planned today. He was talking to one chick who was already twirling her hair and giggling at everything he said. They made plans to meet up later before he looked around, spotting Sam sitting at the back table. He headed over, smirking as he stuck his hands in his pocket. “Shocked to see you here.” He chuckled as he took a seat next to him, checking out the craft supplies before them. |

Sam raised an eyebrow when Blake joined him, "it was either this or get berated by a counselor for not 'fully giving camp a chance' or some shit." He replied, picking up a bundle of dark blue strings then tossed the back on the table top. "But of course you're here since there are so many girls." He joked a little, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Dude what is up with these counselors, so hot and cold,” Blake laughed, though the camp sometimes felt like a prison rather than an actual camp. Some of the counselors were chill and didn’t care, while others would bite your head off for not wanting to join in something. He smirked, “Of course, best way to meet girls, they love crafts.” He immediately noticed the blocked letters and numbers and knew he was about to hand off his phone numbers to a few that way.

"I dunno, they're crazy or something." Samuel mumbled under his breath, glancing over at Blake and rolling his eyes. "You're girl crazy and that's gonna get you in trouble some day." He said, knowing he'd find it funny but he also didn't want to see his friend get his ass kicked that much.

Blake chuckled and shrugged, “I’m good with girl crazy,” he liked girls, they were fun and crazy, and interesting to him. He really enjoyed sex for sure, but he was cautious. “Trouble? Nah, I’ll be fine.” He wasn’t about to date or sleep with a girl that had a boyfriend, and he used protection to avoid STD’s and unwanted pregnancies. “Are you just waiting for that special someone?” He slightly teased, but didn’t see a problem with that either.

Samuel rolled his eyes, "I just don't see a point in hooking up with people, it's like a waste of time to me if I'm not going to pursue anything." He shrugged, again feeling a little...off about the conversation. He didn't see or experience the want of having sex with someone, especially if they weren't someone he wanted to be in a relationship with. It just seemed messy and risky.

Blake shrugged his shoulders, “That’s cool man, whatever floats your boat.” He smiled, not really caring how you lived your life, knowing now that his dad was dead, he didn’t have anyone to tell him how to live his life. He still missed having a whole family though. “Do you have an idea of your type? Maybe you haven’t met someone that is.” It was just a thought, not that it really mattered, Samuel would live his life however he wanted, Blake wanted that for everyone.

Samuel shrugged, picking up a couple strings and looking at them, "don't know, haven't really tried to look." He replied, sure there were cute girls around the rodeo scene and a few at school but none of them had caught his attention in the way that made him want anything more than just knowing their names. Plus it didn't help that his personality was reminiscent of a porcupine.

The counselors started instructing on how to make the bracelets, but Blake had no interest in doing the same thing everyone else was doing, so he grabbed string and beads, and started working on two matching bracelets that differed only slightly, for his brother and himself. “I mean, high school relationships don’t usually last anyways, might as well just wait for college.” Blake chuckled, though really believed that, while there were some exceptions to the rule, most high school relationships didn’t make it, his own parents being proof of that.

Silas glanced at the counselors then down at the strings he was holding, twisting them around each other as he glanced back at Blake, shrugging slightly. "My parents did." He shrugged, the words coming out before he could catch them and his body instantly went tense. He turned his focus back the strings in his hands but it didn't stop him from thinking about his parents who he barely remembered. He credited the family photos for being able to remember their faces. "But it's whatever," he added, "I just don't see the point."

Blake blinked at Sam, feeling like his parents were the lucky ones then. “Congratulations,” he said, though he didn’t really think it could happen that often. He did a basic braid with the colors he’d picked out for Bobby, slapping on a charm to fuck with him, but he knew his brother would wear it to spite him. “That’s fine, more for me.” He joked.

Samuel just shrugged at the congratulations as he twisted the strings together and tied them off, making what looked like a bracelet that had been thrown into a tornado. He rolled his eyes at Blake but smiled a little, "I guess so, I'll pray for the poor girls you set your sights on." He joked.

Blake finished off the first bracelet, definitely noticing where he messed up, but didn’t worry about it too much. “Pray they don’t get an upset stomach as I win them over with delicious food.” He smirked, actually wondering what was for lunch today and hoped it was something good, though it really hadn’t ben that great the last couple of days.

Samuel rolled his eyes, but what Blake said gave him an idea. He took his strings and picked out some block letter beads, putting them on the strings. "Uh huh, more like food poisoning." He joked, his thoughts drifting back to catching a fish instead of eating another dry sandwich.

“Hey, you didn’t die, did you?” Blake chuckled, finishing off his bracelet for himself, finding he wanted to toss it in the trash, but he moved onto his brothers, deciding he’d make another matching one for Luke if he had time. “I wouldn’t mind cooking again, I’ve been itching to get back behind the stove.” He hoped maybe Sam would catch another fish and ask him to cook it, but he wouldn’t push it.

"This time." Samuel joked back, focusing on the bracelet until it was finally done, the whole thing looking wonky and would probably look better as a keychain than a bracelet but it was what it was. "For you." He said, the letters spelling out 'rat patootie' instead of ratatouille since there was no way he was going to be able to spell out the word correctly but he did remember the joke from the movie.

Blake looked down at the bracelet Sam handed him, and smiled, “No way bro, you made me one.” He picked up the bracelet and looked it over, “It’s so… Ugly,” He laughed, but found it kind of sweet that Sam made him one despite saying they weren’t friends. “I’ll make you a matching one, so the ladies know we are taken.” He teased, though finished off his bracelet for himself before grabbing similar string Sam had used for his.

Sam frowned at Blake and held out his hand, "give it back if you're gonna make it weird." He grumbled a little, fully expecting whatever Blake made to label him an asshole or to say something stupid and embarassing.

“No, I’m going to wear it, forever.” Blake said quickly before slipping it on the wrist furthest from Sam. “I got an idea for yours.” He smirked, before grabbing the strings he picked and started waving in letters as he went before throwing it to Sam, winking as he watched Sam see he put Albatross.

Samuel rolled his eyes but briefly wondered if he really would keep it. He looked down at the rest of the strings, starting to sort them out by color but glanced at whatever Blake was making but couldn't see it before he threw it. Samuel reached out and grabbed it, looking at the bracelet with a slight frown but a corner of his mouth tugged up slightly. "Huh, can't hate too much on my wingspan, it helped you meet a girl to get laid." He replied as he pulled the bracelet on.

Blake chuckled and shook his head, “You know, we did kayak together, so I would have eventually run into her,” he pointed out, but he couldn’t deny that Sam wasn’t wrong either. “Sorry, you just get a rat that cooks.” He chuckled, though figured a couple of girls might like a plate of cookies, or brownies, or even a special cake.

"Naw, she definitely would have jumped ship the second you started talking." Samuel snickered as he looked at the bracelet strings. "I'll take food any day," he shrugged, not worried about girls but he'd already make that clear, it'd take someone special to change his mind.

Blake rolled his eyes, since she most definitely did not jump ship on him and didn’t think she would even if she hadn’t met him before. “Anyways, gotta let the girls know we’re taken anyways,” he chuckled, moving onto making the bracelets with his info on it.

Samuel rolled his eyes, "you're delusional, I think I'd date one of these crazy counselors before having to settle for you ass." He joked, not interested in men at all but he didn't mind the joke between him and Blake. He glanced down at the bracelet Blake was making and snorted, "for real?"

Blake chuckled, “At least we know you don’t swing that way,” he teased, not really caring if Sam wore his bracelet or not, he thought it was funny though. He shrugged when Sam noticed he was moving onto bracelets he planned to hand out. “You never know, might work out… Might have a pedo find it too though.” He laughed, deciding to change it from his phone number to his Snapchat.

"Thought that was obvious." Sam shrugged and leaned back in his seat, glancing out the window as he wondered how long this was going to take before he could get outside. "The way your mind works scares me, how the hell do you jump to someone like that finding your weird bracelet calling card?" He asked, wrinkling his nose.

Blake had only been joking around with Sam, so he hoped he wasn’t taking him seriously. He raised an eyebrow when Sam asked how he jumped to the conclusion. “Ah… My mom watches a lot of those true crime shows and movies,” He admitted, though it had been years since his mom had stuck around long enough to get hooked into a show that he’d end up watching because he was bored.

"Ah, of course she does," that seemed like something all moms did and Samuel wondered if his mom would watch shows like that too if she was still alive. Something told him she would. "Huh, well hopefully that doesn't happen but I guess you can defend yourself with a spatula and a knife." He joked.

“Do, like all moms do that, because I’ve talked to some other kids too, and they said the same thing.” Blake said, in a tone that read he was being serious and yet sarcastic at the same time, as if he was just making up the whole thing. He kind of was, but Sam didn’t need to know that. “I’m totally imagining me slapping some guy in the face with the spatula.” He smirked, though he hoped no one that reached out to him would do that.
