I packed my purple cotton bag ready for camping as well as mother’s old sleeping bag and pillow. I walked to the kitchen and asked father to drive me to Britt’s.

He drove me there and when I arrived I saw Brittany and Kristy out the front doing cart wheels and bend backs on the grass.

I always felt like the left out one… I’m not flexible; I can’t do cart wheels nor bend backs or anything ‘gymnastical’.

‘Hey’ I said getting out of the car as father drove off.

‘Hey Avary!’ Brittany smiled.

There was an awkward silence as I stared at Kristy.

Brittany nudged Kristy.

‘Oh um.. hey….’ Kristy said not making eye contact.

‘Lets get in the car and we can wait for my parents.’ Britt said getting her mothers keys.

It was going to be a LONG two hour drive, considering Haylee has my ear phones and I cant talk to Britt cause of Kristy.

~ Brittany’s POV ~

I honestly don’t know what Avary and Kristy’s problem is, before we left school they were BEST friends and now they don’t even want to look at each other.

I feel like I only should have invited one of them camping because I bet Avary is going to be all weird around her now.

I like Avary but I like Kristy as well, but I know Avary is the type of person that is going to get mad if I continue this ‘friendship’ with Kristy.

Well… if Avary can’t handle that then... Oh I don’t know.. I guess I’ll go to Avary we have been best friends for like.. FOREVER.

Trust me, by the end of this camping trip things will be like they used to be… they will be friends! I will make them.

We are half way through the drive and it has been absolute silence other than Brittany’s mother making a few phone calls.

I was so bored, forgot my book, earphones and my iPods in my bag in the trunk. Brittany and Kristy were sharing earphones listening to music and here I am staring at the big rip in the back of the passenger seat.

We finally arrived, I jumped out of the car and had a big stretch, two hours of bent legs…you can imagine how damn good that felt when I stretched.

We walked to our campsite, and began pitching up our tents.

‘Mother, I’m hungry!’ Britt complained.

‘Walk up the hill and to the right there is a little deli, take this money and you girls can go get dinner off you go’ her mother said.

‘Thanks mother, we will be back soon!’ Kristy and Britt started walking up the hill.

‘Coming Avary?’ Britt yelled.

‘Uh no, I’m not hungry’ I yelled back.

I kinda was hungry but I just didn’t want to spend another minute with Kristy. She hated me and I didn’t know why!

‘Avary not hungry!? That’s something I have never heard before!’ Britt’s mother joked.

‘Britt! Pick up something for Avary as well incase she gets hungry later’ her mother yelled.

By the time they were back, we had both the tents pitched up and ready to go.

Britt’s parents shared a tent and us three did too.

I ran back to the car to grab my bag, pillow and sleeping bag. I really regret coming now; this is going to be horrible and I haven’t even lasted a day!

I walked into our tent and the girls were sitting in there talking and eating their dinner with a plastic bag beside them containing my dinner.

I sighed as I put down my pillow and began to unravel my sleeping bag.

I looked at Kristy as she was staring at me then she looked away and giggled.

Honestly! What is her problem with me!?

‘Is that MY dinner beside you?’ I said to them.

‘What’s wrong Avary?’ She said passing me my dinner.

‘Oh I’m fine just TIRED I guess…’

I put my dinner next to my bed, got into my sleeping bag and drifted off to sleep.

I had awoken in the morning to find something between my feet, I sat myself up as the others were not awake yet.

I reached my hand down the sleeping bag and I pulled out… a letter, which read on the front:

                      To My Dearest Avary Rose,

A letter addressed to me?
