Summary
Fitz didn't really want to go to camp. He'd only gone because Biana wanted to (his parents forced him to), and even then, the only things that made it worthwhile were the Volleyball Court and the snacks. He'd also somehow managed to become the leader of all the Odd numbered cabins, which meant that under No Circumstances, was he to interact with anyone from an Even cabin.
But on a hot summer Tuesday, he finds that his beloved snack has been taken away from him, and a note had been left in his place. His friends thought he had a secret admirer. The note claims that they want to be Fitz's friend.
So Fitz replies. He really enjoys his playful banter with the Popcorn Thief, almost as much as he enjoys it when the blonde boy from the Even cabins bothers him, a grin bright on his face.
But as the conflicts increase between the two teams of cabins, Fitz finds that associating himself with an even cabin member is getting riskier and riskier. His feelings for the popcorn thief have grown, and only continue to, which means Fitz has to make a choice: the thief, or his cabin. -
