      When they got to their tent they shoved their suitcases to the side and made a bed on the ground. They laid down and quickly fell asleep. The next morning they woke up early. Noah explained to Casey that they had to meet with the leader of the camp. She was reluctant at first, but started heading for the leader's tent. The leader popped out and shook her hand.
"You must be Casey. I talked to Noah and I have a few concerns."
"Yes?"
"As you may know everyone at this camp has been labeled imperfect. But all of them have known illnesses. We have never heard of a condition such as yours and  we are worried its contagious."
"It's okay I understand."
"Now, I am willing to let you stay until we can have a camp vote. May I look at it?"
"Yeah, sure, of course."
Casey pulled her pant leg up and when she did she notice that it didn't stop at her knee anymore. It had moved up to her thigh. She held her breath as the leader checked it out.
"Hmm. Very well. You can leave now. Thank you."
"Umm yeah, no problem."
And with that, Casey walked back to her tent and Noah.
