Survival.

" I'm so jealous you get to go to that camp. It looks so cool!" my best friend Amara said, as we were on the website of a camp I was going to.

I was super exited. It was a two week course and I got to be in the country. Away from my parents. "im gonna miss you, Liz." Amara said, patting my shoulder.

"im gonna miss you too, Amara." I said.

I got up and gathered my bag. I noticed that my moms car was already in Amaras driveway. "my moms here." I said, grabbing my bag. I walked down the stairs, amara following. I turned aroung and faced amara when I got to the door. "see ya in 2 weeks!'' I said. I hugged her and she hugged back. A honk came from my moms car and I pulled away. I awkwardly walked away and saw amara waving to me. My mom soon drove away from the house.

We sat I awkard silence and my mom spoke up. "so, we are leaving to Oklahoma as soon as we get home. Check-in starts early so, lets run in, get your things and run out." My mom instructed. I gave her a nod and we arrived at my small house. I ran in and grabbed everything exept my phone. We weren't allowed to bring them. I ran back outside and threw everything in the backseat. "pocket knife?" my mom said. "got it," I said, pointing at my jean pocket.

And we're off.
