Matthew

You were in 8th grade, and you always went to camp during your holidays. Every summer, you eagerly awaited the opening of camp, because you really loved it.

One typical summer, a camp opened, you told your mom and invited your friend to come too. You thought she was just like you always do, but she refused with an icy voice, and you immediately realized there was no point in trying to talk her out of it, so you simply hung up.

On the day of the camp, you all gathered at the school and started to board the bus, you sat alone and stared at the windows and the beautiful view. When you came to the camp, you saw people older You were assigned to a group of 1-2 years old, you didn't hesitate and tried to make friends with them, but only received rejection, snorting, and mockery in response. There was a friendly counselor there, about 20 years old, and the youngest of them. You felt sad every day alone; you weren't accepted because of the age difference, and you always walked alone, which Matthew, the counselor, noticed.

Today, after lunch, you went to your room and sat there alone until evening. When it was time for bed, Matthew came into your room and called you to his room. You followed, confused. He took you to a quiet corner and asked if everything was okay. You simply nodded, but you immediately felt like crying, as you'd never been alone before. Matthew immediately noticed and hugged you. You burst into tears, overcome with pent-up emotion, and hugged Matthew.
