audition tape

The camera shows  you in your bedroom standing in front of your bed adjusting the video camera.

You clear your throat and take a step back. "Hello total drama! My name's Y/n. So why should I be on your show? Well A, I love trying new things. B I'm really outgoing and will make lots of friends. And C, I'm a winner." I pan my camera to my trophy case and then hold it up to show them my room. "I like to experience life and could use a break from my usual life. I'll miss my friends, yeah, but like, this would be a great opportunity for me to meet new people. So pick me! You won't regret it."

The video ends and you smile as you get ready to upload your video.

Your boat nears the shore. A group a people become visible as you near your destination. You collect your belongings and get ready as the boat comes to a halt. You hop off the boat and are immediately greeted as a short man with black hair uses his hands to gesture towards you and introduce you to the other contestants.

"Y/n campers, campers, Y/n."

"Hiiiiii~" You grip the strap of your shoulder bag and examine the other contestants. "So, uh, where's the hotel...and the hot tub....and literally anything other than this."

"Welcome to camp Wawanakwa."

You give him a blank stare and walk over towards the other campers. You settle between two blonde girls, one with a ponytail and surfboard tucked underneath her arm. The other girl looks like an airhead with a bandana headband and big blue eyes.

The surfer girl looks at you and smiles, and you do the same in return. You all direct your attention to another boat coming towards you all. A red head girl with curly hair and a green two-piece comes into view and she begins walking off the dock. Unfortunately for her, she misses a step and face plants onto the dock, then falls into the lake.

"Ouuuu!That was bad!", a boy with a red tracksuit says with a laugh. You stifle a laugh as well as a brunette girl races over to fish her out.

"Guys! She could be seriously hurt." She pulls the red head out of the water and she shakes the water off of her like a dog, leaving the brunette awestruck.

"That felt...so....good!Except for hitting my chin. This is summer camp? That is so cool! Do you have paper mache here? Are having lunch soon-"

"That, is a great question!", a big guy with blonde hair agrees.

The black haired man from earlier, who I learned was Chris McClain from the surfer chick, conducted all of us to stand by the dock for promo pics. I abandon my luggage and get ready pose between and tall black guy and a nerdy boy with red hair and glasses. I settle on leaning onto the black guy while he wraps his arm around me.

"Okay, one..two..three. Oops, my bad, forgot the lense cap. Alright, hold that pose. One...two... oop- no wait, cards full."

"C'mon man, my face startin' to freeze.", a black girl snaps.

"Yeah, I got it. Okay, everyone say: Wawanakwa-"

Just as we say that, I hear the dock beneath us creaking. We all fall into the water while the host continues to snap pics, as if he'd orchastrated the whole thing.

"Okay you guys, go dry off and meet at the campfire pit in ten."

We all, well those of us who can, swim to the shore, annoyed that we're soaking wet. I get ready to get out when the black guy reaches his arm out to assist me. I smile and accept his hand.

"Thank you, such a gentleman!" I say as I come out of the water.

"No prob! My mama said to help others anyway that I can."

"Well your mama raised you well..."

"DJ."

"Y/n." We walk to our luggage together and part ways to go to the bathroom in order to dry off.

★○★○★○★

While in the bathroom, I learned that the surfer girl's name was Bridgette. She was very chill and down to earth. She kept complimenting me the whole walk up to the campfire pit.

We got to the pit and we sat beside each other. DJ came to stand beside me.

"This, is camp Wawanakwa, your home for the next eight weeks. The campers sitting around you will be your cabin mates, your competition, and maybe even your friends, ya dig?"

I smile at Bridgette and place my hand on her hand sitting on her lap and she returns the smile.

"The camper who manages to stay on total drama island the longest, without getting voted off will win one hundred thousand dollars!"

Chris is about to go on when he's question by a punk boy with a green mohawk. "Excuse me, what will the sleeping arrangements be? Becasue I'd like to request a bunk, under her." He points to an asian girl with sleek black hair. Her eyes widen.

"They're not coed, are they?"

"Nope, boys get one side of each cabin while girls get the other."

"Excuse, me Kyle? Do I get a cabin with a lake view since I'm the prettiest?" the blonde with the bandana asks.

"Okay you are....but no, you do not. Plus, my name is Chris."

"Oh I have to room with Sadie."

"Yeah, and if I'm not with Katie, I will die! Or, or I'll break out in hives!" Two girls who are wearing identical outfits complain.

"This cannot be happening." a broody goth girl complains.

"Oh c'mon guys, it'll be fun! It's like a big sleepover!" The big guy says putting her and the "athlete" in a headlock. the two exchange looks with one another.

"Well at least you don't have to room with him." The look over to the punk boy who is harrassing a poor deer. I frown and give him a look of distaste.

"Isn't that like...animal cruelty." I question him. He smirks and stops for a moment.

"You gonna come over here and stop me?" I keep my mouth shut and turn back to face the host.

"Here's how things will work. We're going to split you into teams. If I call your name, go stand over there: Gwen, Trent, Heather, Cody, Lindsey,  Beth,  Katie, Owen, Leshawna, Y/n, and Noah. From this moment on, you shall be known as...the screaming gophers!" Chris throws the banner to Owen and he smiles proudly.

"Yeah! I'm a gopher! Isn't this awesome!" Owen says nudging me in the side. He's so big that I fall to the side a little but regain my balance.

"Yup, the coolest!", I say with a smile.

"Wait, but Sadie...", Katie says.

"The rest of you guys...are the Killer Bass." I frown at Bridgette being put on the opposite team. I was looking forward to meeting her, same with DJ. But Sadie was more upset that I was, as she was on the verge of tears.

"But Katie's a gopher, I have to be a gopher!" Courtney goes over to her and reassures her that things will be fine.

"This is so unfair! I'll miss you Katie!"

"Oh! Me too Sadie!", Katie says tearing up. I go over to her a take her by the hand, leading her to the rest of the team.

"Oh c'mon. It'll be alright Katie!" She sniffles and lets me lead her to the rest of our team.

"Alright campers, you and your team will be on camera in all public areas during this competition. You will also be able to share your innermost thoughts on tape with video diary whenever you want.  Let your peeps back home how you truly feel."

****confessionals****

Gwen: "Oh, okay... so far this sucks."

Lindsay: "I don't get it. Where's the camera?"

Y/n: "Hey people back home~ at first I was like..oh, it's a summer camp. But now I'm like, Oh, it's a summer camp! Like this is just so cute to me, omg."

*****confessionals end****

"Okay you guys. Let me lead you to your cabins.  Gophers, you will reside in the east cabins. Bass in the west."

We all go to get our stuff, I go with Sadie, or Katie? I still get them confused... to the gopher cabin.

"Bunk beds...? Isn't this a little summer camp?" Heather questions.

"That's the idea genius." Gwen says purposefully bumping into her. Heather scoffs and rolls her eyes.

"Maybe it won't be so bad Heather. It'll be fun!" I say to her trying to ease the tension. Lindsay nods her head in agreement.

"Ugh, shut it weird goth girl. And who even asked you to speak?". she says looking me up and down. I ignore her and walk up to Gwen.

"Gwen, do you wanna bunk with me?" I ask her. She looks at me and then quickly looks down at her stuff.

"Do whatever you want, I don't care.", she tries to come off as nonchalant. I put my stuff on the top bunk while she settles for bottom.

Cody invites himself into our cabin and comes behind Gwen. I give him a questionable looks as he begins to speak to Gwen.

"You're so smart. I feel that."

Gwen loudly drops her stuff on the floor and turns to face the boy. "Shouldn't you be on the boys side of the cabin?" He just smiles at her. When she doesn't get a response she tosses him out of the door.

"Where are the outlet?  I have to plug in my straightener." Lindsey asks me.

"There are some in the communal bathrooms." Chris says from outside. "Just across the way."

"Communal bathrooms? But I'm not Catholic."

"No Lindsey, not commuinon, co-mu-nal.", I say to her.

"It means we shower together. Idiot." Gwen says as she sits on the steps in front of our cabin. Lindsey's eyes get watery as she lets out a loud whine. This causes the guys to come out and see what's wrong. Trent, Owen, and Noah give her a skeptical look before Owen speaks up.

"I'm glad we're in a room with just us dudes. Know what I mean?"

Trent and Noah share a look before going back inside.

"No wait, I mean I didn't mean it that way. I love chicks. I just don't wanna sleep with them... WAIT!" He runs back inside to try and clear up what he's trying to say.  I step outside to look out onto the porch while Katie stands near me. You can tell she's lost and doesn't know how to function without her bestie, but I don't mind it.

"Excuse me, Chris? Is there a uh, chaperone of any kind?" a blonde surfer boy says while shamelessly checking out Bridgette.

"You all are sixteen at least, old enough to be a counselor in training. I think you can handle yourselves. You have half an our to unpack and meet me back at the main lodge. Ready...go!"

Chris walks away and just as her does, Lindsey let's out the loudest scream I have every heard in a while. It catches the attention of everyone as they all rush to her.

"Man that white girl can scream." Leshawna says.

"Kill it! Kill it!", Lindsey pleads.

Katie and I peek our heads through and open window. We see her standing atop a stool as a cockroach is on the floor. Katie and I wince as she backs away from the window.

DJ who steps into the doorframe screams as well and he jumps onto a bunkbed. Which just so happen to me mine.

"That...was our bed." Gwen sighs in defeat.

People rush to try and step on it, while other cower in fear and get onto higher ground. I stay peeking through the window and see Katie is no longer beside me, insteading chatting with Sadie.

Then Duncan comes into view with an axe in his hand and he uses it on the cockroach, beheading it.

"Well that's one way to kill a cockroach." Gwen says with a satifisfied smile.

"Don't you think that was a tad bit extreme?" I say leaning on the window seal.

"Didn't see you trying to do anything about it." He replies.

"Oh I hate bugs, don't want anything to do with that. But an axe? Really?" He shrugs his shoulders and leaves the cabin, not before giving me a look.

★○★○★○★

We go to the dining area and are lined up waiting to be served.

"Listen up! I serve it three times a day, and you will eat it three times a day. Grab your tray, get your food, and sit your butts down now!" Chef Hatchet yells at us. The line starts moving as two at a time get served their food.

Once I get my food I go sit at my table with my team. I settle in between Katie and Gwen. I stir the...food... around and rest my head on my hands.

"Not to be rude or anything but I'm not eating this."

"This doesn't look appetizing at all." Gwen says. I nod in agreement as we start complaining about the food.

"Yo dude, can we order a pizza." Geoff asks. Chef gets mad and throws a knife in his direction, it sticking to the wall. "Aye man I was just kidding! Yeah! Brown slop is cool, right dudes?" We awkwardly nod in agreement and I pretend to eat my food.

"Your first challenge begins in one hour!" Chris says as he exits the lodge.

"What do you think he'll make us do?" Katie asks us.

"It's the first challenge Katie, I think we'll be fine."

We end up at the top off a cliff peering down into the water.

"Okay I take back what I said before." I say giving her a nervous smile.
