Here we go again...

"Hello Mrs.grey I have Lacey in my office again, for the 3rd time this week and I'm afraid I'm going to have to suspend her for the rest of the year" says mr.snork over the phone to my mom.
15 minutes later the bell from the office door chimes and I look up.
It's a very angry mom, my mom.
I roll my eyes.
Here we go again I think in my head.

"Mom, there is only one day left anyway...what do you care?" I argue.
"I care because you are my daughter and it's the third time this week! Not one, not two but three freaking times this week I've been up here" she yells as she angrily walks into mr.Snork's office.

As usual they talk about boring stuff, like how long I'm suspend and blah blah blah.
I roll my eyes, I can't wait to graduate.

My mom walks out of the office after 15 minutes of excruciating boredom.
We get into the car and she complains about why I can't just be a normal kid.
Than the worst things  I could hear.
"You are going to sleep away camp this summer" she says.
"So kind of you to think of me, but no!" I say.
"Why do you argue with me about everything, I am your mother and you will do what I say!" She says.
"You can't make me go" I say.
"Yes I can" she replies.
"By the way, we get up at six on Saturday,it's an hour away" she says pulling into the garage, the car door slams followed by the clicking of my mothers heels on the cement garage floor.

i wait for 5 minutes and slam the door getting out of the car. I march upstairs and head straight to my room and lock my self away in there, and plotting how to get out of this. straight away my thoughts go to vegas! i could buy a plan ticket there stay all summer and come back before school. looking at plane tickets is soon realize i could never get there on my own. im very quick on my toes and think of where i could get the money from because there was no way im spending all summer making arts and crafts and singing by the fire. than a thought hits me, moms card! i could go down stairs tonight, get it, and use it to buy the ticket take out the rest of my expenses at the atm and return moms card with time to spare.


the clock hits 1 am and its go time. i slowly open my creaky door, and creep along the shadows down the hallway to the stair case. i drop to my bum and slide down the stairs without a peep. gliding along my hardwood floors as light as a feather, i finally reatch the kitchen. steaping into the kitchen im ingulfed by the darkness. i glide my hand along the counter and try to make out the shapes of things. counter, counter, counter, blender, counter, mom.

the blinding lights fill the room, once my eyes adjust im left face to face, with no other than mom herself. "nice try" she smirks "go to bed".


•Friday morning

The clicking of my mothers heals wakes me up. I peak at the clock 8:00am.
"Ugh" I moan.
She flips on my lights, leaving me blinded for a second.

"Rise and shine, sunshine!" She says.
"Noooo" I roll over and hide my face in the pillow.
"Yessss" she says.
"You missy have to pack!" She says pulling the covers off me.
"I want it done before I get home from work or next it'll be boarding school!" She threatens.
Let me tell you, my ass got up real quick.
There was no way I was being shipped off a million miles away from my friends.

I yank my suitcase off the top shelf of my closet and books and stuff tumble on top of me.
"Great more shit to put away" I mumble.
"Oooooo you said a bad worddddd" my little sister Cambrie whines.
Cambrie is 5, she has platinum blonde hair and turquoise eyes that I'm so jealous over.
"I'm 16, I think I can say it" I say.
She skips away and I go back to doing boring packing.
I throw some shirts, shorts, leggings into the suit case and jam it shut.
Or at least try to, when the zipper pops open.
"Damn it! It's not big enough!"
I take the huge family suit case from the garage and drag it up the stairs.
Thump...thump...thump...thump....
"Would you quit it!" My older brother Jackson yells from up stairs.
Jackson is 21 and he is visiting for the summer from college.
He has dark brown hair and and green eyes like my mom.
I think it's unfair, my mom has dark brown hair and green eyes and my dad has blonde hair and blue eyes.
I'm stuck with brown hair and brown eyes, they say I got it from my grandmother on my mothers side.

Thump... Thump.... Thump and it continues for 8 more times as I hike up the stair case.
When I finally get to my room I fold all my clothes and place them neatly in the suitcase, because I was not trying to burst another one.

I look at the clock and it's noon, so I make my self a sandwich and pour my favorite peach tea.
Cambrie walks into the kitchen.
"I wanna sandwich! I wanna sandwich! I want a sandwich!" She chants dragging her pink bunny behind, she loves that thing and refuses to ever let it leave her side, when ever we get the chance to wash it, which isn't very often because she wont even let us touch it at this point, she sits by the washer and dyer till its done.
"So? Make your own" I say.
"But! I'm only this many" she says holding up 5 fingers.
I roll my eyes and walk to the kitchen counter.
"Step one" I say grabbing a plate.
"Get a dish!" Cambrie looks at me wide eyed.
"Step two!" She nods for me to go on.
"Get your supplies, bread and goodies!" I say.
"Peanut butter and jelly" she screeches.
"shhhhhhhhh...!" i shush her pulling out the pb&j.
"Put down the bread... Slap on the peanut butter and than the jelly once you are satisfied with it place on the top piece of bread....and bam you got your self a sandwich!" She smiles grabbing the plate and sitting at the table.
I put everything back in the fridge and sit on the couch.
I pull out my laptop to check this place out.

It states clear on the top of the page, "once admitted to camp, NO In Or out UNLESS signed out by parent or legal guardian!"
I roll my eyes, "sounds like a challenge, I smile."

•10:00 pm

My mom opens my door and invites herself in, interrupting my YouTube video.
"All packed?"
"Yup" I mumble.
"Excited? This is gonna be so Great for you to get out and be with kids you age" she smiles.
"Just fabulous!" I say sarcastically.
"It's gonna be good! Trust me" she says.
"What ever you say mom" I say.
She sits on the end of my bed.
"It might not be so fun at first but you'll get into a routine and you'll love it.... My best memories are at camp!" She smiles.

She pats my leg "okay, get some sleep we have to be up early!"
Closing the door she says "love you, good night."
I smile "night."
