My name's Amaya Kapoor and I'm a senior in high school. I live my life like any other teenager... trying stay awake in class, avoiding social suicide, and keeping track of my life. It's all pretty routine; wake up...school... swim...homework... dinn...
World War three was the understatement of the century. Let's just say that the binder is now in shreds and the doors to our bedrooms are now closed for the foreseeable future. We came to decisions sure. But none of us wanted to to admit our faults which led to contests, which led to screaming matches and insults being thrown left and right. Clearly these two months were going to be a blast.
I am currently in my room painting on one of the canvases that I brought with me in my overalls. If they won't let me have technology here, not that there's any service, then they can deal with the paint splatters and obnoxious tarp out on the balcony along with the music I play. By the time I finish up and check the time it was 6:00 pm and nearly dinner. I head to the bathroom and shower; going back to my room and changed into leggings and a racer back tank. Why do you ask am I not in my pjs when it's basically night time. Here are the house rules...
1. I don't want to see your body parts and you don't need to see mine. So unless you're in your room in bed regular clothes at all times. All outfit changes must occur in your room.
2. We cook lunch and dinner together on the weekends (this should be interesting) and share our food. Breakfast is your own job on the weekend. This way non of us have to wake up earlier than we want to. A. Lunch prep starts at 12:00 pm B. Dinner prep starts at 6:30 pm
3. If it's on the first floor it's fair game. Everything on the first floor must be shared. You don't want to share it, take it to your room.
4. Unless obligated to, if we have free time we will spend it alone to avoid world war four. Unless two or more of us agree to spend it together.
5. Those who share bathrooms will choose a night shower person and a day shower person. Any afternoon showers are first come first serve.
6. Each person is responsible for their own room. Each pair is responsible for their own bathroom. Lastly each pair will get a week to do the chores for the first floor together and they may split it how they see fit.
7. We will help each other avoid impromptu run ins with mrs. Crabclaws. Sorry mrs. Crascaw and her evil and harpy personality. (This was the only rule we all agreed on. Seems like we all got the same creepy reception from her.)
8. To avoid awkward conversations with other campers we will silently eat all meals together at the same table.
9. If someone wishes to amend or change a rule, a majority that is 4 out of the 6 must sign of on it.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way. I'm going to head down to the kitchen to help with dinner. I got there first and by the time it was 6:30 all of were lounging around waiting for the twins to show up. Once they did decided after another 15 minute debate that we would make salad, soup, a pasta and cookies for dessert. The twins, mack and Taylor started on the salad, Amber and I made fettuccine, Jackie made the tomato soup and Vanessa put chocolate chip cookies in the oven.
We brought all the food and dishes them out and ate in silence. Once we were done everyone washed and dried their own dishes and bowls (week runs Sunday to Saturday so this first Saturday is do it yourself day) We each grabbed a couple of cookies for our own and headed up to our rooms calling it a night.
I changed into my pjs, dropped all my dirty clothes in my hamper, and snuggled into bed, and grabbed a book while munching on my cookies. Soon my eyes started to get heavy, so I closed my book and set it on the night stand and turned of the lights. I brought my alarm up on my phone, set it for 9:00 and went to bed. ——————————————————————————— Sunday Morning
Wake Up in the Sky by Bruno Mars played on high as my alarm went off. Yes I did decided that yelling at myself through my alarm was not going to make my day any better, so music it is.
I hit the snooze button and shoved my face into my pillow. Five minutes later my alarm rang again. And five minutes after that. And five minutes after that. Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that sets multiple alarms five minutes apart. Anyone?
Anyway I walked into the bathroom to get ready for the morning.
"Baaaaaahhhhhh" I scream and cover my eyes as I walk in on Vanessa in all her glory.
"WHAT THE HELL, don't you knock!!!" She screams while scrambling for her bathrobe.
"Uh hello, last time I checked you agreed starting today to shower at night so you had plenty of time for your makeup. Plus we agreed not to change clothes in here!"
"Well I'm having a large issue right now so if you don't mind stepping out that would be great!" She points to the door
"Well I do mind since I was scarred for life no thanks to you!" I plant my feet and cross my arms.
"Yeah well, sucks to suck." She shoves me hard and I land on my butt as she slams the door shut and locks it this time.
I cannot deal with this shit this early in the morning. I trudge back to my room and pull out the clothes I want to wear today. I grabbed the canvas shoes I had as well and tossed them near my bed.
Finally hearing the bathroom door open and then Vanessa's room shut. I went out and did my business. I walked back to my room put on my clothes and tossed my hair into a messy bun. It's Arizona, it's hot, this as good as it gets.

Once I was done I headed downstairs and made myself a bowl of cereal and coffee. I saw some of the girls in the living room lounging and some I heard in the rec room. Not wanting to deal with any of them after this morning's start. I pulled the patio door open and went out onto the deck facing the lake and ate in peace.
