Love Peace Hope and Death

Diary Entry 1 (Kim)

June 16, 2006 10:30 a.m.

Today is the day me and my best friend Mia go on our traditional camp out sleepover. Mia and I met in kindergarten and have been best friends ever since. We couldn't be even more polar opposites though. She is the goody to-shoes who is always very serious and doesn't know how to have fun. Once I dared her to make-out with her boyfriend and she quickly denied. I don't know why it was a simple dare. She can never let loose. That probably explains why we always butt heads a lot. On the other hand I am the happy-go-lucky teen that parties and drinks though I don't swear. It really is just another word that can replace a non-bad word. This year I am so excited that our moms don't have to accompany  us on the trip into the mountains because we are both 16 this year. Ha Ha in your face 15 year old Kim. This year we get to set up out tent by Clear Placid Lake, the best swimming lake in the state. And we will be the only ones there because at this time of year there is said to be people disappearances but I know that it isn't true. We go here about every 5 years. Nothing has ever happened. So I know I'm safe. Well I got to run it is a three hour drive up to the lake and Mia and I promised to meet there at 2:00 p.m.

2:30 p.m.

I finished setting up our tent and my sleeping bag. Mia is running late. It doesn't matter anyway though, she is always running a bit late. You know the feeling when your all alone and you hear strange sounds. Well I have that feeling right now. When I hear a squirrel run up a tree I think there is a crazy psycho with a chainsaw coming to kill me. To try to get my mind off of my stupid thoughts I put on my cute bikini and went for a swim in the lake. I love to swim, it really does help me calm down. When I got out Mia had finally arrived with food and her funny jokes at about 3:45. I was so hungry. I forgot to bring my own food and Kim had to save my butt from starvation. I am in the middle of a growth spurge, okay, don't judge me.

5:00 p.m.

It is starting to get dark and Mia and I have had the best time so far. We went skinny dipping in the lake, which was so fun by the way. After that, I grilled some poultry on the portable grill Mia brought. I had to cook because Mia is horrible. I'm not kidding. Last time I had her cooking I barfed everywhere. After dinner we started a fire and told ghost stories. Mia tells killer (very good) ghost stories too. So far this has been the best camp out sleepover we have ever had. Now we are going to make s'mores and roasted M & M's, what they're good.

7:00 p.m.

Mia just packed up all of her stuff and stormed off into the woods. That little female dog (the real meaning of the B word). We got into a huge fight over how I am "not mature". What does she think she is, the Pope. Going around telling people who they are and how to fix themselves. Middle finger her. If anything she is the one who is not mature. It all started when I told her about the party she missed on Saturday. When I said that I got totally wasted and blacked-out she went strait on her phone and looked up Saturday's party. She saw a picture of me making out with her boyfriend. Mia then stood up and yelled at me.                                            

"Kim you have gone too far this time. Last time you got wasted that much you gave a lap dance to a stranger, and may I remind you that he almost raped you. You were lucky I was there just in time to make sure that you didn't get raped. You are just so immature. I am always the one to save you when you get into that kind of mess. Sometimes I even think that I shouldn't even be your friend."

"Mia! Why would you say that. Do you remember the time I caught your ex-boyfriend cheating and beat the crap out of him to protect you. I got 3 weeks worth of detention for that and you never even said thank you for that. But did I care, nooooo"

"How dare you bring that up. You know how crushed I was about that break-up. And besides you shouldn't be scolding me about what you have done for me. I do more for you in one month than you do for me in one year."

"That is not true. If anything I do more for you. I don't go to parties if you don't want me too. If you don't want me to drink I don't drink. I do everything you want me too. So don't you say I barely do anything for you."

" Well Kim, at least I never gotten arrested for something stupid.

"You little ungrateful twerp. I got arrested for you. If you hadn't been sneaking around at school in the middle of the night and set off the alarm, I would had never been caught  cleaning up your mess. I almost went to trial."

After I said that comment Mia came at me with a fast fist. I was able to dodge it in time. I  then threw a fist back at her with a nutz kick (that's what we call a kick to the region between the legs). She dodged my punched but failed to see the kick. She then started to throw more punches. I dodged all but one. That one hit me in the eye and I blacked out. When I woke it was 9:00 and all of Mia's stuff was gone. I figured she left to go cool down.

10:30 p.m.

Mia is still not back and I think she went home so I am just going to pack up my things and head home soon as well. Mia will probably call tomorrow to say sorry. It was her fault anyhow and if she thinks I will say sorry first she is sorely mistaken. Well if I am going to get any sleep tonight I better start diving.
