"I am sorry to bother you Mrs Leeson but I'm afraid that I am once again having to report this camper's bad behavior. She has broken curfew, was alone on the docks and evidently thought it would be amusing to pretend to drown.

"She had the audacity to claim
that your daughter and her friends have been bullying her and that they held her under the water in an attempt to drown her."

"All she has done since she has arrived is continually test her limits. I am fairly certain that if we allow her to stay it will be only a matter of time before she breaks all of the camp rules. My recommendation is that she be expelled from the camp."

"She's obviously not mentally stable enough to be in this kind of environment." The councilor stated as she shoved me forward.

"Oh don't be silly. Why don't you leave her here with me for a little while and I am sure I can sort this out in no time. Now shoo!"

Mrs Leeson replied practically pushing the councilor out the door. "So Catherine, care to tell me what's going on?" Mrs Leeson asked barely looking up from her clipboard.

"The other kids were making fun of me."

"I see. So what did you do about it?" Mrs. Leeson asked.

"I walked away and found myself down by the lake. I liked the view so I sat at the edge of the dock looking out over the lake. Someone pushed me from behind and I fell in. When I tried surfacing someone held my head under the water."

"Then when the councilor arrived the other campers lied and said that I had been pretending to drown. It's like they'd made a game out of it. Let's see how much trouble we can get the freak into before she gets expelled from camp."

"Freak?"

"Yes. That's what the other campers have been calling me ever since I arrived."

"So what your saying is that the other campers have been bullying you?" Mrs Leeson replied with a frown. I didn't reply instead I just looked down at the floor and shuffled my feet. Mrs Leeson sighed "what's next? Are you going to tell me that you weren't the one who vandalized the shack in the woods?"

"That the campers lied about that too? You know Catherine it's not nice to tell lies. You need to own up to your actions and accept the consequences. Instead of trying to point the finger at someone else."

"Now I am willing to give you one more chance. If I hear that you've broken anymore camp rules I will have no choice but to expel you and ban you from ever attending this camp again. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Ma'am."

"Now come with me. Boys and girls. I have an announcement to make. I am sad to say that one of your fellow campers has been testing the limits and has already broken all but one of camp rules."

"On top of that She has told numerous lies about other campers. Since we are a camp of second chances I am allowing her to stay."

"However, she is to be sent to solitary confinement for the rest of the week in cabin 66. That means that she will not be able to participate in the activities for the next few days."

"Let this be a warning to you all. I will not tolerate anyone breaking the rules. They will be punished according to their actions. Is that understood?" Mrs Leeson said through her bullhorn.

"Yes Mrs Leeson." The other campers replied in unison.

"Cabin 66? Isn't that the cabin that use to belong to Jason?" One of the campers whispered.
