"RICHARD WENTWORTH TOZIER! GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!" my mu- i mean maggie, yells from downstairs. I groan and have a stretch my arms before facing my shitty parents. I trudge down the wooden staircase, avoiding all the steps that creak, (i am quite impressive at that actually) and walk over to the island bench that we have in the kitchen.

"Richard, we have something to tell you." Wentworth tells me. "yeah? and what's that?" I ask curiously. "..you're going to summer camp."

"Eddie-Bearr!" my mother cooed. "Time to wake up! I made you some breakfast!" I rolled my eyes and left my warm, comfortable bed that I had previously wrapped myself in. I picked out one of the many outfits that my mum had chosen for me, which was some red short shorts and a yellow polo shirt which was a bit tight, but mum wouldn't buy me another one.

Afterwards, I slowly made my way towards my annoying mother. She handed me a plate with two eggs and one strip of bacon on it. I took the plate and gave her one of my fake smiles before I sat down with my breakfast at the table.

"WHAT!" I reply loudly. "You heard me boy." Wentworth said. "I can't go there! That's where all the weird kids go!" I argue. "Sounds like you'd fit in." He says. "UGHH!" I groan in frustration as I stomp out the front door. 

I didn't bother having breakfast, and after that I don't think my parents would even allow me to actually have breakfast. I grabbed my skateboard from the back of the house and start riding to school.

I was eating my eggs and bacon in silence until mum interrupted me. "Eddie?" She asks me. "Yes mummy?" I reply. "I booked you into summer camp!" I look at her in shock. I don't want to go to summer camp! 

"Umm, are you sure that's a good idea mummy?" I ask her, silently praying that she changes her mind. "Yes, it is a great idea! and you'll have your fanny pack with you! it has everything you need in it." She informs. I sigh quietly and grab my school bag and head off down the road.

When I reach the school gates I see a crowd of people in a circle around something. I got curious so, since I'm super small, I squeezed my way to the front and saw something horrific. There were two boys punching and kicking each other, I couldn't make out there faces because they were both covered in blood.

Just then, a teacher came running through the crowd to break up the fight. "HENRY! RICHIE! NOT AGAIN!" she yelled. 'It seems like this isn't the first time that this has happened.' I thought to myself. The teacher pulls one of the boys off the ground- wait, 'isn't that Henry?' I thought. His eyes were full of rage and anger which he obviously let out on the other kid.

"Henry! I am so disappointed in you!" She told Henry who was next to her. The other kid helps himself up and shakes the teachers hand. "Goodmornin' miss!" he says in a dorky country accent. This makes everyone in the crowd laugh.

"Richie! Stop playing games! You two are coming with me!" She says angrily as she drags the two boys away and to the direction of the school office. The crowd dissolves into groups, and the groups dissolved into pairs as soon as the boys left.
