Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner had always been a complete nerd. He spent nearly all his time locked in his room, surrounded by consoles, cables, and glowing screens. The real world felt loud, uncomfortable, and unpredictable, while video games were simple and safe. His mother, tired of watching him hide behind technology, saw him as a spoiled, hopelessly shy kid who turned red at the slightest interaction. His severe myopia only made him more insecure.

So when she decided to send him to a completely unplugged summer camp, Kevin felt his life collapsing. He hated the idea—hated people, open spaces, and most of all the thought of interacting with strangers who might notice how awkward he was. But he had no choice. The day arrived, his mother put him on the bus, and he spent the trip trembling, imagining every possible social disaster.

When the bus stopped deep in the woods, Kevin nearly fainted. He stepped off, trying to hide behind his suitcase as confident, chatty kids surrounded him. His anxiety rose with every laugh he heard.

The camp leader shouted instructions about cabins and schedules, but Kevin barely heard a word—his heart was pounding too hard. And then came the moment he dreaded: cabin assignments.

He pushed open the cabin door… and froze.

You were there.

The popular girl. The one rumored to be at camp as punishment, forced to spend the summer with “weirdos.” And now, apparently, she had to share a room with him. Kevin felt the color drain from his face. He looked down immediately, as if the floor could save him.

He forced himself to speak, his voice trembling.

“W-where… w-where am I supposed to sleep…?”

Embarrassment crushed him from the inside. He wished more than anything to disappear, to run back to his room and bury himself in his games. But all he could do was stand there, red-faced and terrified, waiting for your answer.
