i walk a lonely road--- private

Samuel Trenton Mercer

Samuel sits on the edge of his bed, and just looks around his room. He is still having a hard time believing that he is actually the new cabin leader. What is even more surprising, is that one of his siblings nominated him. He has hardly interacted with his siblings, so one of them nominating him is shocking. But he's not going to complain, the title comes with a private bedroom. And that is something he can not complain about, he likes the privacy.

Standing up, he heads to his dresser and pulls out a fresh long sleeved tee shirt. He then grabs some socks, underwear and a pair of jeans. He changes into the clean clothing, and tosses his dirty clothes into his laundry basket. He then takes his North Face jacket off the back of his desk chair and pulls it on. He then turns off his lights, and steps out of his room.

Right away, he nearly walks into someone. "Oh dear, terribly sorry 'bout that"he says to the person as he steps to the side and closes the door. That is when he really takes a look at the other person. Kali. He bites his lip and looks at her. He hasn't really talked to her for ages, and he is glad to see her. Yet, everytime he is around her he feels extremely nervous. "Hello Kali, fancy seeing you here"he says with a small smile. "Why thank you, It was a bit of a surprise, I was unaware I was in the running. I heard you were nominated, I hope you win"he says to her.

Samuel's smile grows bigger when he hears her question. He was going to do stuff around the cabin, but he would much rather spend time with Kali. "Of course I will, that sounds very fun. I was going to do things around the cabin, but a walk sounds a lot better"he says to her.

Samuel smiles lightly, and runs his fingers through his hair trying to make it look some what acceptable, seeing has he neglected to brush it. However he is lacking a mirror, so most likely he just made his hair worse. He takes his fingers out of his hair, and shoves his hand into the pocket of his jacket. He then nervously taps his fingers against his side, something about being around Kali, makes him nervous and well fidgety. He just can not pin point what it is. He has an idea, but it is so ridiculous and he can not even imagine it. But he has realized he has feelings for the girl, and perhaps it is why he feels so nervous. But it is ridiculous, there is no way Kali likes him.

He bites his lip, and looks around the cabin. He suddenly feels very embarrassed about how messy it is, and makes a mental note to make his first task as cabin leader organizing everything and making sure the cabin is cleaned up, and all of the various tools are put away.

Hearing her next comment, Samuel lets out a small nervous laugh. "Trust me, it was very surprising. I never really interact with my siblings, I don't think I can even name them, and there are not many of them. So it was a bit shocking to learn one of them nominated me to be the cabin leader"he says to her. "I think you would make a wonderful cabin leader"he says to her.

He then smiles lightly and looks at her, after a while of just looking at her he realizes he is staring and he blushes a deep red and looks away. "Ah walking is very nice, yes. Unfortunately I never seem to have enough time to go for walks, but I am very glad to be joining you on one"he says to her. "Yes lets go, shall we"he says, as he walks over to the door of the cabin. He opens it, and holds it for her to walk through. Once she is through, he follows her letting it close behind him. He then walks down the steps and stands in the courtyard, it is a bit cold outside, but not extremely cold. However he does zip his jacket. "Where too?"he asks her.

Samuel lets out a small laugh. "I suppose I did, unless this is some sort of joke and they are setting me up to be a failure"he says in response to her statement. He then cocks his head to the side as he listens to her statement. He is genuinely confused, he thinks she would be a good cabin leader. "Oh well someone must have thought you'd be good, otherwise you would not have been nominated?"he offers, not sure what else he is supposed to say at this point.

Samuel smiles lightly, as he shifts back and forth on his feet. He is starting to feel pretty cold, so movement is helping him stay warm. Not to mention he is extremely nervous, which is also contributing to his fidgeting. His smile widens when he hears her suggestion. It's not often that he explores along the border, so he thinks that it sounds fun. "I think that sounds wonderful, I never get the chance to explore the border"he says to her.

Samuel then nervously bites his lip, and looks at her. Slowly he holds his hand out, as a gesture for her to hold it. But he manages to forget to say something. After a small and awkward silence he realizes his mistake and blushes a deep read. "Shall we go?"he asks once more offering her his hand. His gaze then turns to his feet. Samuel you are an idiot.

Samuel smiles lightly, and gently squeezes her hand. As he walks towards the border, Samuel's eyes wander around, staring at all the people and the scenery. Of course, his eyes spend more time watching Kalina, than they spend looking at the scenery. Something about her beauty is completely mesmerizing, and he can not help but stare at her, a goofy smile on his face.

After a while he realizes that he is smiling likely an idiot, and blushes a bright tomato red as he quickly adverts his eyes. If that didn't seem weird, he has no idea what would be considered weird. After a while, he looks back at her, as he nervously bites his lip. He takes a deep breath, and slowly lets go of his lip.

"This is really nice"he says quietly, before mentally slapping himself. Good gods Samuel, that didn't sound completely stupid or anything. "It's so quiet, and peaceful"he says adding on to his previous statement, he might as well as it already came out of his mouth. "It makes me feel like we're not at camp anymore, because it's just so empty, most places in camp are full of people, I like this it's a change"he says quietly. Wow Samuel, you sound so deep.
