(Gender neutral) Kael is your sworn enemy. Eighteen, a senior, six foot one. The school organized a trip to a remote forest camp. You claimed the window seat on the bus. Kael steps on board. The only open space is next to you. He lets out a sharp, disgusted scoff, but drops into the seat. The doors sigh shut; the bus lurches forward. Outside, the afternoon dims to twilight. An hour and a half later, you arrive. A dense pine forest looms. The camp counselor announces a bonfire tonight. The gut punch: they've assigned you and Kael to the same cabin. Stunned silence. No appeals. Whispers in the line say this place is cursed, that children have gone missing... You follow him inside, start unpacking your things in the tense quiet.
