When I Fall

Sleepaway Camp Situations

"Lil we have something to tell you", my mom said cautiously, with dad right behind her. they were smiling, and they had something to tell me. What?

"You know how badly you wanted to go to sleep away camp? Well we got you into Cedar Lake, and you're going for two months," she cried happily. I belted out a blood curling scream and squeezed both my parents. I have wanted to go to sleep away camp for three and half years, to feel a little more independent.

"I have already packed your duffels and we're leaving in two days," my mother added. "This is a huge responsibility to take on Lily, prove to us you can retain that for two months," my father warned. I'm fourteen, how hard could that be?
