Lexis pov:

I sat in my moms minivan, in the way back of the van, on the right side, looking out the window with my earbuds running down my chest and into my pocket attached to my iPod,the road bumping up and down while we drove down the rocky road path to the camp, why was she making me go to this stupid camp anyways?, its not like a was defective anyways..

As if my mom was hearing my thoughts, she suddenly perked up and turned around for a second to grab my attention "Alexandria!" She said in a sweet but annoyed voice, i took one of my headphones out and rolled my eyes, hoping she didn't see "yes mom?" I asked with a hint of annoyance in my voice. "Well you're probably wondering why you're going to this camp aren't you?" I guess she was right about that.

I nodded my head realizing that she would have bo idea what i was doing since she was well, facing forward driving, i responded "uh, yeah. Why am i going again?" I asked slightly confused and stuttering on my words. "Well honey, i just, i want whats best for you. And me and your father have talked this over, this camp will help you, you'll be able to get outside!, meet new people, this is good for you." I was still confused, why was she sending me here again?, then my heart sank. Oh god. It was *SO* about the incident, i had been caught feeling myself up one day and my parents totally flipped on me! I guess this was my punishment.

I just hummed after my mom talked to me, she seemed to take that as a positive response, and she didn't say much after that, i popped my earbud back in and now it was playing the song "girls" by girl in red, i liked this song but i was NOT gay. I don't like girls like that. I skipped the song out of embarrassment, and hummed along to the next song that popped up, "mama Mia" by abba, i smiled. This was my all time favorite song, i just loved the movie and abba spoke to me in a way!, as if this moment couldn't get better, we stopped.

Ruining my perfect moment with my favorite song. My mom's car door opened and i took that as a cue to slide open the door, that less elegantly creaked open, curse that old van door!, i hopped out with my backpack and iPod,right before getting right back into to grab my book i was currently reading "harry potter and the sorcerer Stone", one of my favorites from the series, i then slammed the door shut, wincing at the noice as it loudly shut.
My mom popped open the trunk with her keys, i looked over at them and noticed how the jingled with the little keychains on it, i smiled but then remembered my stiff in the back, i grabbed my maybe too big suitcase, and hauled it out, grabbing the extendable handle and sighed as i looked up at the sign for the camp

"Camp salt-lake" and under it with their slogan "a summer camp you'll never forget!" I laughed a little to myself, because i would DEFINITELY forget this, what could be so memorable about a dumb summer camp i don't even want to go to?, my mom tapped my shoulder, and we started walking up to the front, my hoodies sleeves around my waist were bouncing up and down while i walked, and my music was still blaring from my headphones, i took them off and paused whatever dong was playing and shoved them into the pocket of my pants,  we walked a small distance, since my mom had parked pretty close to the actual camp, and my mom went to talk the lady at the stand in the front

"Oh!, that must me Alexandria!, its so nice to finally meet you!" She smiled what i assumed what a totally fake smile, and i looked over at her "oh, uh its just Lexi" "oh! Lexi, sorry!" She smiled even more, that must have been uncomfortable. She turned around and grabbed a clipboard for my mom, something to sign i assumed. Then she grabbed a small name sticker thingy, snd she put it on her finger before handing it to me, which i took and placed it on my stripped shirt. "Well now that thats signed!, you are free to enjoy our wonderful camp!" She gestured to the entrance of the cabins, and my mom quickly hugged me before waving and leaving "bye Alexandria!, have a fun tome hon!!, ill be there to puck you up at the end of the summer!" And then she was getting in her car to drive off, i froze, the whole summer? I didn't think it was *THAT* long... i signed again before looking up and holding onto the straps of my bag, and holding my suitcase in one, while also holding onto a book, and taking my first step if what would be the rest of my summer.

I couldn't really believe it, this was the rest of my summer. Other campers were tossing small balls back and forth to each other, some were in duos, trios, and there was even a group of four, all huddled up. Great. This was the rest if my summer and i was already late, the assumed cliques, i looked down at my dirty converse and continued walking, the lady had also given me my bunk number so i decided that was the best place to start.

When out if nowhere, a blonde girl walked in front if me, causing me to drop my book i had been holding. "Oh!, oh my gosh!! Im so so sorry, let me help you with that!" She said grabbing the book from the ground and handing it to me, then tucking her hair behind her ear, i was struck, she was beautiful. I shook away those thoughts before smiling up at her and thanking her for grabbing my book. "No no no!! Im sorry" she apologized again, how could a *girl* be this cute? I winced in my head about those thoughts, thats not what normal girls thought. I tried to forget about it.

When she asked me what cabin i was in, when i revealed i was in 7, her eyes practically lit up, "I'm in the same one!, i never got your name by the way!, I'm Amelia" i kinda stuttered when i talked to i kinda just looked at her and went "u-uh its u-uhm l-Lexi." Embarrassingly blushing as i did, this isn't normal, you JUST met this girl and you like her?, this isn't normal.

But she just chuckled and grabbed my hand and led me to our cabin where i saw the faces id be spending the rest of the summer with.
