The view around Carmen was fuzzy. Her brain couldn't concentrate on the scenery that passed her by, despite the beautiful greenery that fought for her attention. Every once in awhile her eyelids would close, only to be jerked open by the nervousness that was seeded within her. A new place, new people, and nothing to help her ease in. This was going to be a nightmare. The redhead didn't know if it was acceptable to simply walk into the camp. Probably not. After all, it had to be fairly orginized right? However, on the journey here, she wasn't able to find the "Delphi Strawberry Service" in the phone book. Maybe that was her own fault, though. What if she just didn't look hard enough? Would the head of the camp get mad at her?

It was in the middle of this circuitous thought process that the man she hitched a ride from shook her shoulder to grab her attention. "Hey, girly. This is as close as I get to that Strawberry Service place. I'd recommend you get off here and walk the rest of the way." Startled, Carmen's back shot straight up. It probably wasn't the best idea to hitchhike, but she didn't have much money. "Thank you so much," She said instinctively, as she gathered her 3 suitcases and backpack. It was a lot of things, but it was basically her life. "Um, if you don't mind, which direction should I go to find the Strawberry place?" Carmen asked. Even as the driver responded, she was mentally kicking herself in the head. [i]'He probably thinks I'm stupid now. "Which direction should I go?" If I had been paying attention, I would have known!'[/i] "Delphi Strawberry Service is about a couple miles from here in that general direction." He waved towards a more secluded road. "Thanks, I appreciate your kindness," She squeaked, before rushing away from the conversation. 

Her baggage was quite heavy, and Carmen wasn't one for exercising, making her journey slow and difficult. She had to take a couple of breaks before she finally arrived at what looked like an entrance to somewhere. A large pine tree stood next to the entrance as if judging her for approaching. The soft spoken girl bit her lower lip, a bad habit of hers. As Carmen reached the top of the hill, an amazing sight was displayed for her. It was almost as if an entire world had been created in this small area in the woods. She could even see the sea from her vantage point. She was soon startled from her trance when she heard music blaring from some where. Instantly her eyes were drawn the the crowd of people partying around some cabins. Unfortunately, the shy girl needed to ask for help, and she couldn't see any other campers around, so she headed towards the large crowd. 

Her hands started to shake as she looked into the mob of people. Carmen stood at the edge of all the action, bags in hand, most likely looking like a fool. She could taste blood in her mouth, she was biting her lip so hard. Now came the hard part, who to ask? She had to choose wisely otherwise something bad could happen. Carmen really didn't want to create drama on her first day. What if they thought she was annoying? Or what if they laughed at her? The shy girl's hands fidgeted as she tried to calm herself down. What would she even ask? [i]'Hey, I'm new here, what the fuck do I do?'[/i] Warm, wet pressure pushed on the back of Carmen's eyes. Was she really going to do this now?

Finally after calming herself down, she left her things and went into the crowd to find someone. Not exactly the best choice she's made in her life.
