Chapter 1
Katie's POV
"Katie you'll be late for camp!" Mum yells from down stairs.
I groan before yelling "Coming!" as I descend the stairs carrying my oversized bag. "Do I have to go?" I say, pushing my glasses up to the bridge of my nose. Mum gives me a stern 'no' look, I sigh in defeat and begin to walk to the car.
I'm going to miss my sweats, leggings, over sized jumpers, daggy tops and mostly my ugg boots. I care about being comfortable, not what's fashionable and what's 'in' and 'out'. We have to bring and wear bathers, shorts, crop tops, sport tops, flip flops, joggers, hats and other stuff mum and I had to go shopping for. We are forbidden to bring any phones, devices, lollies, makeup, games ect....and books! I can't live without books, my teacher went through what to bring and what not to bring for the week, apparently the camp is for "bonding" and bringing these items will cause "distractions". Bringing one won't hurt.
The drive was quick but mum was constantly telling me to "Have fun" and "Watch out for snakes" and most importantly "Always wear thongs in the shower, I don't want you getting some sort of fungus infection." When the car stopped I give my mum a small hug and whispered "Love you, but I'm still not happy about going to this hell hole" she just smiles. I exit the car with my overstuffed bag over my shoulder and begin walking only to hear "Have fun hunny, have a good time snuggle pie!" Before driving off. She knows I hate that name, I look around and see a couple girls and guys snickering and giggling at me, "Great, just great" I mumble.
Today I'm wearing a big purple hoodie over my blue sport top and black sports bra (mum insisted) and knee length sport shorts and old joggers, with my long hair in two messy braids. I'm wearing my big black glasses today but for the rest of the week I'll be using my contacts.
My thoughts were interrupted by Stella "Oh god" I think, "Hey there little ugly" she chirps as I walk past her. That's been my nickname since the start of year 5, we don't get along. I turned to face her, she's clearly taking advantage of the crops tops and shorts, she's wearing a pink sports bra with a white skin tight singlet and WAY to small shorts. I give her the finger which wipes that's smirk right off her face and I begin to walk away, I hear her cuss behind me and yelling "You're gonna get it!"
Stella is your normal High school Queen Bee, popular, rich and most of all a bitch to whoever she doesn't 'associate' with, aka me. As much as she tries to intimidate me I know she's harmless and minor bump in the road.
"Hey Kitty" Matthew waves to me, "I thought you forgot about that name" I mumble when I reach him, Matthew has always called me Kitty mainly because he once saw me in a hello kitty bikini and hasn't let me forget it. I drop my bag and give him a hug, we've been best friends since well forever. "Ready for camp?" He asks already knowing I am not, the only reason he wants to go is because he can see all the girls in bikinis, swim suits and lose tops. "Oh I'm so ready" I reply sarcastically.
The bell rings early to signal for us to get to our home rooms, I sat with Matthew at the back, as the teacher Ms Welsh does role call I ask "Got a nose bleed yet?" I say with a smirk, he ignores me he's too busy checking out Nina who is across from us. "Ha ha very funny" he says bluntly "Been working out in the gym a lot, takes a lot to keep this athlete in shape" he says amused. I raise an eyebrow.
"You only went to pick up girls" I chuckle and in return he gives me a 'so what?' Look, "I'll have you know I go four times a week for the past three months" he replies "Whatever you say" as I rest my head on the desk and close my eyes.Matthew nudges me awake from my nap saying that the buses are ready and we have to grab our timetable and activity lists on our way out. "Who dare to wake me" I reply not lifting my head from the desk, "Oh is that James Green?" I shot up, looking around only to see it was a joke.
........
Sitting with Matthew I look over at my list,
Hiking, rock climbing, swimming, zip line, team building. "Matthew if I jumped out the window and hid in the bathrooms do you think I could get away with not going on camp?" I asked hopefully. "Good luck" he says staring at Nina as the bus starts, Ms Welsh grabs our attention by calling out our groups for the week. I begin to zone out by looking through the window. I heard my name and the last three people called out "Katie, Matthew, Riley and James" she announces.Matthew looks at me and then over at James and then me and at James a couple of times before whispering "I think you're going to like camp after all" I give him a push and try to look casual (obviously not working) Matthew turns away and starts a conversation with one of the guys. I may have a small crush on James but let's be real who wouldn't with his brown hair and green eyes and- I got interrupted by Matthews laughter, I grab out my book that I snuck in and began reading. Soon after I fell asleep.
