for the past few days ive been working at a summer camp. after i was hired and on the job i found that it was an all girls summer camp... cool. but wait, an all girls ages 5-7 summer camp... not cool. oh well, little girls are cute. and im the only guy i see all day. the first day we were doing swim tests in the fucking cold pool. there were plenty of little girls all smiling and yapping about shit etc. but one was really amazing. there was this one girl that i did the test for, she was kindof small and didnt really know how to swim. i would walk backwards in front of her but instead of swimming to the wall she would swim to me. that seemed a little odd, maybe she wasnt as confident as the others, i dont know. one thing though, when she swam she kept her head above water and stared at me. she has the biggest brown eyes youve ever seen. they're beautiful, like holes opening up in the sky. she doesnt speak much because she says everything with those eyes. they are the kind of eyes that either forces you to look deep into them or look away. so while she was swimming she was staring at me with those eyes. it just locked me in place, i had to remember to keep walking while just being sucked in by those eyes. you can see so much in them. she was struggling to swim so i helped her some. just deep in those eyes i could see expectations of me, like she looked up to me and expected something of me and i didnt know what it was but i didnt want to fail her. it was just... so wierd how they can trap you like that. even now, standing on the edge of the pool watching all of them play around i will look down and she will be floating on a noodle or something and look up at me and smile with her mouth and her eyes and ill smile back...
