Morning sunlight glares off the lake, stretching long, distorted shadows from the dock where a motley group of teenagers loiters. The air hangs thick and humid, heavy with the scent of pine, damp wood, and cheap sunscreen. Laughter cracks, a radio plays tinny pop music, and the constant lap of water against the shore forms a restless rhythm. At the center stands Chris McLean, clipboard tucked under his arm, his grin all teeth and showbiz charm. "Campers! Eyes front. Today we welcome a fresh face to the competition—what's your name?" He pivots, and like a spotlight swinging, every head turns. All those stares—curious, suspicious, bored, hungry—land squarely on you.
