Camp Crest

First Day

My alarm woke me up to the bright morning light. Then it hit me, the first day of school. I crawled out of bed and dragged myself down to the kitchen.

" Someones up bright and early today " my mom teased. " I ignored her as I took my seat and started eating breakfast that was already prepared for me. " OK sweetie so how do you feel " she continued. Again I ignored her but she knew that was my way of saying not interested. I could see that she was already ready to leave she was just waiting on me to get ready. I finished eating my breakfast as she went into the living room and turned on the T.V. to catch the morning news. " I'm gonna take a bath " I yelled.

Fifteen minutes later I was ready. I was wearing a pink Victoria Secret  t-shirt, a black pair skinny jeans that stooped at my knees and I did my hair into a ponytail with some side bangs. 

" I'm ready " I told her as she got up and then we both made our way outside to the car. We got in and now we're of.

About ten minutes later we arrived at the school and I have to say it's huge. It's like a mini university.

" So do you like it " she said as she placed her hand on my shoulder." I got to say, I do " I said  as we headed inside.

I just had to get through orientation which is by the way ridiculous since there's only three weeks of school left. We were greeted by a boy who looks like a sophomore who lead us to the Principal's Office. I'm guessing he's a hall monitor. I turned around to see him staring at me. I didn't like so I went inside after my mom and shut the door. I took a seat next to my mom after we were greeted by a fairly tall man with a head full of dark brown hair.

" Ah Mrs. Scott and young Ms. Scott It's a pleasure here to have young Lola joining the student body here at Spring Valley High " he said with a bright smile on his face. " Well it's certainly a pleasure to be hear Mr. Sharpe " I said attentively looking at his desk name tag . My mom gave me a quick glance, surprised at how I was behaving.

" Ah I like that enthusiasm, the other student's could learn thing or two from you " he said while I snapped back into reality. " I'll say " I replied in my signature tone. My mom was now looking hard at me. I always like to give a first impression then I just let it out. " Well, can we get started I really have to go to work " my mom said breaking the short period of silence in the room. " That's right " he said in a cheery tone. I can tell from now that I was not gonna like this Principal. He's too perky or is that just an act to get new students feeling comfortable. Well one thing I can say it's not gonna work on me. You pick up a thing or two when you've been to different schools throughout the year.

He handed me a list of subjects to choose from. but before I got a good look at it my mom swiped it away from me. " What are you doing? " I said feeling violated. " Choosing your subjects " she replied sarcastically. " Why couldn't I choose? Isn't it my future? " I said .

Apparently not. She quickly chose some subjects then gave me back the list. I took a quick look.

" History, French,.... Biology ! Seriously? " I shouted. " Can my life get any worse? " 

" Well it can if you stop behaving so immaturely " she said in a commanding tone.

I bit my lip frustrated. Why did I have to learn about something that happened like a million years ago, how does the creation of cells interest me. Damn it.

" No if you give me that list I can register her into the system and get a timetable printed out for her. "

In a flash he got a time table ready and he gave me a locker number with it's combination and some really heavy books. " Now you wanna take care of these books " he said looking me in the eye, " Oh I'll take care of them alright " I said with a smirk on my face. Mom gave me the look " In my locker, I'll neatly arrange them in my locker. Right. " " So that's all I just need you to sign these papers " Mom quickly signed and I headed out the door. Luckily for me my locker wasn't that far, it was about twenty feet way from the Principal's office. I opened it up with the combination he gave me. I hurried and dump the books into the locker with a sigh of relief. I didn't think I could hold off much longer. Mom approached me. " Now Lola try and be good, make some friends, and don't worry I wont be moving until you graduate, now by sweetie I'll see you at home " she said encouragingly as she kissed me on the fore head. Then she walked through the door and went outside. 

The school bell rang signaling that homeroom was over according to my time-table. My first class was English in room 203. Then suddenly student's started walking out of classrooms, opening their lockers and some other things teens do in  the hallway. Some were staring at me strangely. I walked around trying to find the room my class is in but I couldn't. I would ask another student where the room is but I didn't feel like it. I'm so stubborn.  

I leaned against the wall next to me then the bell rang. I guess its time to go to class. Suddenly the hall was empty and I was the only one standing in it. Then a boy walked up to me. Sadly it's the hall monitor. " Aren't you getting to class " he said looking at me with his eyes wide open.

This guy is weird

" I can't find room 203 " I said with a sigh. " Its on the next floor fifth door on the left. You'll have no trouble finding it " he said with a bright gaze. " Thanks " I said walking away trying to be anywhere but near him. I took the stairs to the next floor and took the left and walked down the hall then I saw it. Room 203. I opened the door taking a step in then closed it and when I looked around I saw like 40 - 60 eyes staring at me. I ignored everyone while making my way to the teacher's desk. The teacher was light skinned lady who looks that she's in her mid 40s

" Good morning young lady " she said looking me in the eye. " Good morning too " I said nervously. " Your late " she replied still looking me in the eyes. " Yeah I had some problems finding the class, but hear I am now. " She ignored my last statement and stood up. " Class this is our new student Lola Scott, she's a transfer from Rock Point. "  She looked at me and I gave the class a wave. " Take your seat " she said as she sat back down. I looked around and I found an empty seat at the back of the class. My seat was next to girl who was looking at me ever since I sat down.

" Hi I'm Jenifer, nice to meet you " she said with a greeting smile. " Nice to meet you too, Lola. " I replied casually. " If you need anything you can call me Ok " she said with that smile on her face.

I was about to open my mouth to say something but a tall and handsome guy walked into the classroom. " Mr. Blue your late ! " the teacher said standing up. " Sorry, woke up a little late this morning, won't happen again " he said as he took his seat.

" Who's that ? " I asked curiously. " That is Brendon Blue, basketball player. " " Basketball huh. " I said as I bit my lip. " Don't let his appearance fool you he's an ass. " she said glaring at him. " You know him ? "  I asked still staring at him " No, but trust me he's a real pain in the ass " she said and I looked at her studying her face. " I like you" I said and she smiled. " Thanks, and I like you too, I can tell we're gonna be good friends. "she said smiling at me.

Class was over and  Jenifer and I were walking in the hall when a girl rushed up to her.

" Hey Jen guess what? " she said as if she had won the lottery. " What tell me " she insisted. " Camp is finnaly anounced " she said shaking with joy. " It's finally here ? Omg! " Jenifer said. It's obvious she was excited about this Camp. " What camp " I said budging into their conversation. " Um who's that? " the girl looked at me confused. " Oh yeah Chrisie this is Lola, Lola this is Chrisie" she said introudicng us to each other. " Lola trasnfered here today " Jenifer said as Chrisie shook her head. " Well it's nice to meet you, welcome "  Chrisie said giving me a pleasant smile. " So again what's this camp? " I asked impatiently. " Its a teen camp that goes on every year for the summer " Chrisie expalined. " Come on I'll show you the poster " Chrisie said as she and Jenifer pulled me down the hall.

We were on the first floor and I saw this huge poster with a ton of other students crowding the area. " Camp Crest " I said shaking my head with amusement. " Yeah it's gonna be the bomb of the summer ! " Jenifer squealed with excitement. " So are you gonna go? " Chrisie asked me while she was texting on her phone. " I'm not sure, I doubt my mom would agree to let me go " I said sadly. " Just ask her " Jenifer insisted. " OK I'll give a try "

This was what I needed a break away from home. I just want to be free.
