Camp Crest

The Go Ahead

I got home and I went into my room after pulling out a bottle of water out of the fridge. When I got in a text came in on my phone. It was from Matt. He said

Matt: Hey, you missing me ? :(

I smiled as I sent him back a text.

Me: A lot

Matt: How are you liking your new school ?

Me: It's cool. You know you can visit me sometimes right?

Matt: I know that. Did you know I'm coming down with some withdrawal symptoms.

I was very worried. Was he on drugs or something.

Me : What ?

Matt: Yeah. I can't be too far from you. My heart is bleeding for your love.

Me: Aw lol. Matt. I love you too.

Matt: I know. anyways I gotta go. I'll text you tomorrow

Me: Sure ;)

I was thinking, thinking hard. Were we going to succeed keeping this long distance relationship. I let out a loud groan. Then my mind went back to this whole camp stuff. Did I really want to go. Then suddenly I heard the door open. It was my mom. I walked down the stairs and she was unpacking some groceries.

" Dinner I suppose" I teased her as I was holding up some the groceries. She completely ignored me." There's something important I need to talk to you about. " I said taking a seat and the counter." honey now is not the time. " " I wanna go to teen camp " I said .  She stopped what she was doing and walked over to me. " You wanna go where? " she said raising an eyebrow at me. " Teen camp " I said again. " No " she said and walked back over to the bag of groceries. " Why not! " I argued. " Because things are moving just too fast. You just got here and now you wanna go to some camp you know nothing about." " That's not fair " I protested. " And what are you doing with so much groceries the world isn't about to end you know. ". she sighed. I looked carefully at the groceries and I saw some Italian cheese and tomato sauce. " Wait, are you having a date ?! " I asked surprised. " What no no no I'm just stocking up" she said twitching at her last word. " What's his name ? " I asked because I knew she was lying and she knew as well. " His name is Perter " she said with a sigh. " Peter " I said with excitement. " So with the cheese and tomato sauce I'm assuming that your making your special lasagna ? " " Yes I am " she agreed. " Good that one's a keeper. " I said walking out of the room. " Wait, Lola " She beckoned at me. " What ?" I asked her as I took an apple of the counter. " I need you to behave " she said as I raised an eyebrow. " OK but under one condition, I get to go to camp and that's final. " " No " she disagreed. " But why, you take away my life, my freedom, my rights and now this! " I shouted. " Do you wan't me to just spend the rest of my life in my room?!" I continued. " OK Lola calm down this instant ! " she ordered. " Go to hell ! " I screamed at her as I ran to my room.

I Locked my door with my key so she couldn't get in. A few moments later there was some knocking on the door. " Lola!" a voice shouted. I didn't answer, never I was. I am sick and tired of my life being controlled as if my every breath is up to her." Lola! " she called out again. I remained as quiet as a mouse. The I heard some footstep making their way down the stairs. She had left.

The next three hours I listened to my tunes sing  lyric loud and clear. But eventually I got hungry. And the smell of my mom's lasagna hit me. I had to get some. But then I remembered she had a date but I didn't care. I walked down into the kitchen where I saw blonde hair man with blue eyes. He looked kinda handsome. I stepped into the room. Then in just seconds I was the centre of attention.

" Goodnight " I said politely sitting at the table seeing that a slice was already prepared for me. " So you're the Lola I've been hearing about. " he said. " I don't know, it depends. I think she has another daughter named Lola, but I'm sure its not me "

My mom cleared her throat. I didn't care what was going to happen after this so I amused my self. " So Peter right? " I asked with  small grin. " Yes " he replied taking a sip of his drink. " Do you have any kids ? " I asked curiously. " Well I have a son about your age " he said after he put the glass down back onto the table . " Fascinating " I said with a bright smile. " And you would do anything for your son right ? " I continued. " Sure ". " Do you believe that every child has the right to express who they are? " I asked. " It depends on the situation " he replied. My mom cleared her throat again. " Have you ever been to teen camp when you were younger? " I asked him seriously. " Well no I haven't but there is a teen camp coming up and my son Chad, that's his name, says he wanted to go and I said sure. Teens just need a little time to get out of the house and have fun. " " Interesting, so would you recommend any teenager to go. " " Sure " he said and I took a bite out of the lasagna.

"Thanks for the meal it was very lovely" Peter said as my mom escorted him to his car. A few moments later my mom came back into the house. " Lola ! " she yelled. " Yes ! " I shouted back.. " Pack your bags " she said. " OK ".

My plan worked. I was going to that camp. The next day at school I met up with Jen and I told her the news. She was just as happy as I was.

" It took  a lot of convincing and mind games, but my plan worked." I explained to Jen. My mom was a sucker at peer pressure. I was walking down the hall heading to my locker the suddenly a tall walked up to me when I arrived at my locker. I recognized his face. it was Brendon. I didn't look at him but I could feel his eyes staring at me. When I got my books I closed the locker then my gaze met his.

" Well hello there" he said with a deep husky voice. " What " I said obviously annoyed. " Whoa whoa don't get all feisty, I just wanted to know your name. " My name, Lola, bye " I said and started to walk away but then he held on to my arm. " Let go of me! " I said trying to escape his grip. He held is hands up in the air as if a cop was about to arrest him. " Listen I just wanted to say hi, and I think your cute. " He said with a grin. My eyebrows stood up. " You think I'm cute?" I said looking him in the eyes. " Well to clarify I think you're smoking hot " he said looking at me from bottom to top.What was the this boy's goal. It can be certainly not me. No way.

" You know what they say dint play with with fire or you'll get burn " I said still staring at him. He placed his arm around my shoulder leaning his head to my ear. " Well In that case I definitely wanna get burned "

Jen was right this guy is a total ass.

I help on to his arm with a tight grip, until I heard him squeal . You don't mess with a girl who has done karate for ten years. About five minutes I let him go. " Your just lucky I didn't break your arm, bye Brendon " I said as I walked down the hallway heading to Biology Class.
