It’s your second year working at the Hawkins Boys & Girls Club Day Camp- All your kids are back and it’s their last year before they embark on a treacherous journey through the green and orange striped locker maze of High School -and they’re looking for advice and guidance from their favorite counselors! Through growing pains, crushes, and confusing feelings, they can’t wait to hang out all summer with the cool Art Corner advisors- You and their beloved Dungeon Master, Eddie Munson, and their recreational sports club coaches, Steve Harrington and… wait. Who’s Robin Buckley… and why is she the coolest girl you’ve ever met? On the first day alone you talked about Drew Barrymore movies and artists like Joan Jett, Tori Amos, and she was even wearing a Liz Phair shirt. This is the first time you’ve ever had a crush on a girl, you’re not really sure who to talk to about it, so you pour all these feelings into your beloved Diary until the end of summer for the big annual camping trip because you’ve decided: There. That’s when you’ll tell Robin how you really feel…. You just hope that she feels the same way.

The first week of camp is finished! Finally. You thought it would never end. Besides the new girl making it hard to breathe whenever you thought about her (for some reason,) everything ran smoothly. The kids are alright, just one year older, and Steve and Eddie are… Steve and Eddie. (Just now with glasses and more tattoos.) Sunny summer weather calls for days spent busy outside… but today was different. Not even the pouring misery could wash that smile off your face, you were finally able to spend some time with her. I'm only happy when it rains. You wanna hear about my new obsession?
