Makenna kept half her attention on the final proceedings, the rest on one-handedly typing out text messages on her phone; tucked unseen in the bag strapped across her chest.  It wasn't as though there was much to hear from their team lead and his lackey they didn't already know.  The arrival of Eclipse team briefly interested her, but aside from the one obvious beastly member, there was nothing to identify the abilities of the others and thus no reason to give them much consideration. The small display between teaching assistants finally forced an eye-roll from her.

[colour=BC8F8F]“Rivalry, spirit, go team.”[/colour] Makenna wiggled a fist as high as her shoulder, just in case the sarcasm hadn’t come through her dead-pan tone.  Didn’t these graduated adults have better things to do than play camp councillor?

She wasted no time moving towards the back vehicle with Tad, having decided well ahead that Jim’s get-friendly attitude was not for her.  Jim, Tad, Ryan. It seemed anything more than four letters was too complicated. The moment one tried to pin her as ‘Ken’ she’d officially have to bail. She scanned the small car for a seat, opting to sit with Trevor, one of the younger boys in the group and someone she assumed would be easy to manipulate. If they were going to be participating in some childish competition- she’d at least win.

[colour=BC8F8F]“Oh hey,”[/colour] She began, a sickeningly sweet smile plastered a mile wide as she gave her duffle bag a final kick underneath the seat with surprising force. [colour=BC8F8F] “Mind if I sit with you? A bit tight on space,”[/colour]  She gestured to the surrounding cabin, but didn’t wait for a response before taking the seat next to him - close enough their knees bumped. [colour=BC8F8F]“Trevor right? - Makenna”[/colour] She introduced herself, pocketing her phone before reaching out a hand, still all smiles as she gave the boy her apparent undivided attention.

It was an impressive display on Makenna’s part to keep from further eye-rolls or sarcastic remarks as I’m-Just-Like-You councillor Jim tried again to initiate some form of comradery among the young adults.

[colour=BC8F8F]“No red meat,”[/colour] She called out to Tad with an innocent smile, just as the group began to break.  

Already people were pairing off.  Makenna considered her options. The bitch and nut job she’d been stuck with at the intake house were the first off the table. She had no interest in doing work on behalf of the wheelchair bound girl, and alternatively found the impressive Afrikaner too intimidating to actually approach. 

[colour=BC8F8F]”Hey Luce,”[/colour] She decided by taking a step toward the blonde, realizing too late she knew next to nothing about the quiet girl.

[colour=BC8F8F]“Mind pitching together?”[/colour] She asked, [colour=BC8F8F]“Think I might have spotted the one spot [i]slightly[/i] flatter than the others.”[/colour]  Her thumb pointed over her shoulder to indicate the tent in question, the other hand blocked the sun from her eyes as looked for a reaction to her cheerful greeting.  

The boys from the carpool were left forgotten with the others. For all the flirting, Makenna [i]was[/i] engaged.  Happily, even, at times.
