I finally made it home. Dad was on his computer. Grover waited for me as I tried to start a conversation. Groover looks through the window, smiles and gives me a Nod, and a Thumbs up.

"Um..Hey dad"

"Oh!" He turns back, "Honey! I forgot you had the keys! Don't scare me like that" he kissed my forehead, Ugh. "I'm surprised you're home. I thought you're only allowed on the holidays...That's strange I didn't get a call from the office..." I was about to speak but he cut me off, "Dah, guess That doesn't matter! You're not in trouble right? Welcome back!" He shuts his computer and gets up from his seat. "I need you to get dressed."

"What- why?" I ask and peek over at Groover near my window. He was mouthing "Now. Tell him now" in other words saying "Nancy if you're getting dressed you better dress nicely for camp. Even if it's camp" I roll my eyes and look at my father again. "I'm having one of My workers here. Given a promotion, he is also bringing his wife and guess what?" He smiles. I don't smile, but ask "What.." He moved as if he could flip the whole desk in front of him "He Has a daughter your age! Isn't that exciting!" I froze, swallowed, feeling like I could puke. I peek over at Grover who is laughing and falls in the bushes. I'm so gonna get back at him. "But dad- I-"

"Ah!" he pats my back "you two will be great friends! It's gonna be alright, and really fast ok? I promise afterwards we can visit the Park." He kissed me again, "Thanks honey" and I  just walked to my room, pondering the question of what had just happened. Oh great, another twirp like Jackson. Maybe dad is right, I thought. I will have fun with whoever this kid is.
