        All the seniors gathered at the gymnasium. It was quite packed. I saw Chloe waving at me. Guess I have to play friendly again. I went over to the three girls.

        "Do you know what we're doing here?" I asked. I was not being sarcastic, I really wanted to know what we were doing in the gymnasium.

        "Big announcement. Upcoming camp. Yay," Katie replies in a boring tone.

        "I see..." I replied.

        There was a mini stage set up in front of the bleachers just ten steps away. After it was set up, Mr. Davanchi went up and held the microphone. "Hello seniors! Are you excited for our Seniors Camp 2014?" He exclaimed.

        What are we? Eight? Everyone cheered. Cheered in an unmannerly way. Mr. Davanchi frowned. "That wasn't what I was looking for," he mumbled on the microphone. Then, he brought back his big smile. "Anyways, the school received calls, emails and slips from your parents. And it's so great that each one of the seniors is coming! There are like about sixty of you seniors! We have contacted different airlines if they can take all of us in one plane going to Tennessee. Fortunately, Southwest Airlines has given us one."

        Southwest... Yay. So exciting. Pretty sardonic, isn't it? No exclamatory marks. Just periods. I felt someone's presence beside me. It was Penny.

        "Hey girl!" She smiles. I smile back.

        Mr. Davanchi then hands the mic to Principal Harolds. "Hello students! Now, I'm here to give the regulations to this year's camp. It will be the first in Clington High history that would be held in this concept. This year, we'll be merging with another school in Tennessee, Marston Academy. We will not choose our partners nor will we have partners, but a group of four."

        A group of four? This is even worse.

        "Two of our students and two of their students will be grouped together for one week. One boy and one girl for each school. We will be staying in cabins this time. And... Explore your youth and adventurous world. Camp activities for five days and for the last two days, here's the fun part. All of you have to go with your group and go anywhere you like. Anywhere! Each group will have two walkie talkies to contact one of the camp's counselors if something goes wrong."

        Oh my goodness. This only means one thing. Shopping! The gymnasium starts to get noisy with excitement. Just because of those two days of freedom.

        "I know you're all excited. But our plane will take off Monday morning, eight o clock. You all have to be in the airport by six. Any questions?" He asks.

        Penny raised her hand. "Yes?"

        "When do we have our groups?" She asks.

        "Good question. According to a counselor in Marston, the students have requested to have a little game to decide the groups. I have no idea what game it is. Let's just wait for that day to come. Anymore questions?"

        A little game? No offense to Marston but that sounds kinda stupid. We're like eighteen. We're not this childish anymore. Crazy.

        Since no one didn't have any further questions, we all head to our next classes. I had my favorite subject... Art. Reverse psychology, if you didn't get that. I wonder how the girls would try to get out of thi situation cleanly. I went inside my class to see Chloe sitting down. I fake a smile at her and she follows nervously. She should be. There was an empty seat beside her. I took a seat.
