     They assigned tents late last night, making sure everyone could fit. They are planning on making a few changes, but for now I am sharing a tent with 2 other people. I forget their names, but if I meet them again, I will write about them here.
     Morning roll-call was at 7, which was later than it will be in the future, they just wanted to give us time to get used to this camp. They are only doing basic training today, then reassigning some tents.
     I am currently at breakfast and have met some new people. They said their names were Hercules (But call him Herc), Marquis (Call him Laf), and Alexander (Who wants to be called Alex). Now I'm not gayyyy or anything (or am I...) but Alexxxxxx. Woooooo.
     I need to get going to line-up, I'll get back during free time!
-----------------------------------------
     That training seemed pretty easy, some running, some cardio. It only lasted a little over an hour. Some other people may have had more trouble though, because they are giving us a small break before reassigning some tents.
     After the short break, everyone gathered in a circle around a couple of the camp leaders. They started mumbling off names I had not heard and where they were moving. I almost zoned out until I heard, "Laurens, you move to Lafayette's tent." I looked up at the people I had sat with at breakfast, ran over to them, and we headed back to the tent, me stopping to grab my stuff on the way over.
--------------------------------------
     We settled down for the day and started playing 'Truth or Dare'. When it was my turn, I heard Herc ask "Truth or dare?" and I was not about to turn down a challenge so I responded, "hit me with a dare!" I watched him look up at Alex and quickly smirk before telling me the dare. Am I missing something? Do they have an inside joke? Does the dare involve Alex? My mind was flooding with thoughts when I heard, "I dare you to kiss Alex."
     My mind went blank of all previous thoughts and I wondered, 'Wait what am I supposed to do, I have been so overwhelmed with everything else, do I pass the dare and take the punishment?' Before I could think any more, Alex had pulled me in and his lips were on mine.
