"Do I really have to do this?" I complain "Why can't I go to grandma or Alice? "

"Kristy, I already told you. Grandma is sick and Alice and her family is on vacation in Vegas."

I pout as mom parked her white Ford.

"Ok, Kristy, let's get through this one more time." Mom says as she hands me a 10 dollar bill. "No calling home" another 10 dollar bill "No kissing boys" another one "Not doing bad things" another 10 dollar bill "No- "

"Mom, you're not sending me to a Catholic Church camp! It's just summer camp" I protest

"Ok," She let's the other dollars to fall in my hand "I was just making sure my baby is going to be fine"

"No need to get dramatic, mom. I'm going to be fine" I got out of the car and went to grab my luggage.  Mom comes and helps me with the other stuff.

Since I was a kid, Mom would always send me to summer camps. Every kid in my class would go and it was super cool and fun. Until 6th grade came and suddenly summer camp was "lame". I, as every wanna-be popular kid, supported that idea. Bad move,Kristy, bad move...

We both walked to the Attendance Room (which apparently is the name of a room filled with kids that wait to be placed in their dorms)

In the middle of the room is a young girl wearing a black t-shirt with black leggings and and neon orange jacket.

"Hi, I'm Maya Laws, Kristy Laws' mother..." I hear my mother whispering to another girl. Then she turns to me "Ok, I registered you. See you in a month!" She embraces me into a hug.

"Yeah...see you!" I tell her back

"Everyone come here" the young girl repets over and over. I take a seat in the back row of chairs. "Hello ladies and gents, my name is Catherine Wilson and I'm your new camp leader." Someone cleared their throat. "Yeah, the dorming"

"Conan Allez, Noah Brooks and Aiden Blake, Cabin 26" Catherine reads off a paper. Three boys stand up and follow a camp supervisor

"Kai Darrington, Ethan Hamilton and Sam Hillingdon, Cabin 5"

As more and more boys stand up,  Catherine goes over to the girls.

"Kristy Laws, Livvy Lane and Charlotte Lewis. Cabin 4" the she says

I stand up and see other two girls doing the same, one with shiny blonde hair and the second one with black hair just like mine.

I grab my luggage and hurry to catch up with a short lady, with long black hair, dressed all in blue.

As we stride over to Cabin 4, I take notes about our neighbours. Cabin 3 is occupied by no one, as for Cabin 5, the party already started...
