summer camp// a.i.

first day and new crushes

I was awoken my the beautiful sound of my blaring alarm clock.

Today was the day.

Today was the day that I was going to leave everyone behind for 3 months to go to some summer camp 5 hours away from home with absolutely no wifi and sh!t food.

"Kennedy!", my mom yelled.

"Kennedy get out of bed!" I wouldn't move.

"Kennedy Mary Joseph wake up!"

"I don't waaaaaaant toooooooo........."

"Kennedy if you don't get up now you will be late for check-in."

"Good."

I really was not feeling whole nature and outdoors vibe, but my mom says it would be good for me to get some fresh air.

"Kennedy I know you don't want to go, but you will make friends and I'm sure that you will have loads of fun!"

"Fine."

Oh and did I mention that I needed to wake up at 5 in the morning to be there and settled down by 11? No?

I finally forced myself to get out of bed. I put on the clothes that I laid out last nigh which consisted of an All Time Low concert tee shirt and running shorts with a pair of flip flops. I didn't feel like putting on any makeup, so I didn't. I pulled my long blonde hair into a high pony tail and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

Once we were done eating, my mom and I were in the car getting ready for the long, painful 5 hour drive to camp. 

All of my bags were in the car already. I put them there last night so I wouldn't have to worry about them this morning. I didn't want to handle more than I had to this morning.

I was not in the mood to talk to my mom on the way to camp, so I put in my headphones and zoned out the entire ride.

*5 HOURS LATER*

After what felt like forever, we finally pulled onto the dirt road that lead to the camp.

We drove for a few minuets before I saw an old wooden cabin with the words "CHECK-IN" written near the top.

We got out of the car, making sure to grab my bags and everything that I needed out of the car and walked up to the check-in cabin.

Behind the desk was a girl with short brown hair that was puled into a french braid wearing a camp staff tee shirt and jean shorts.

The name tag read Alyssa.

"Name please?"

"Uh Kennedy. Kennedy Joseph."

"What a beautiful name! Okay, so it looks like you will be in cabin 3 with Tailor and Mady. Here is your cabin key and just yell if you need anything.

"Thanks.", was all I said.

I turned around and pulled my mom into a long, tight hug, knowing that I wouldn't see her for 3 months. My mom and I always had a strong relationship. I hadn't even noticed I had been crying until my mom pulled away and wiped away my tears.

"Listen Ken, you will be okay. I promise. There is a camp phone in the nurses office if you ever need to call home. And Ken, don't let those camp b!tches get to you, okay?"

"Okay mom. I love you. I'm going to miss you."

"I will miss you too. Just promise me you will try to have fun.

"I promise."

And with that, she was gone.

I was walking to my cabin, which happened to be about a 5 minuet walk to the dining hall which was nice, when I ran into something. Or, more like someone.
