It was 6 am and my alarm went off. I was always an early riser. I heard my parents whispering in the kitchen. I throw my pink slippers on and walked slowly into the kitchen. Half way down the hallway I heard: "How are we going to tell her?'' I quickly run into the kitchen almost tripping on the hamper. My parents just stare at me looking all confused. Catching my breathe I say "What do you mean, how are we going to tell her?" They look at each other for a solid 3 minutes. "Well...." my dad says. "We are getting a divorce" moms says instantly. "WHAT?!?" I said tearing up. "You..you...you can't" I start to ball. My mom comes to comfort me and says "It will be okay"
"We are just taking a break for now" my dad says. My instinct is to just run away but I know that will do no good. "There's also some other news we haven't told you yet." Mom says. "What could be any worse than this?"I say "Your going to camp this summer." My dad blurts out. "What did you say?" I stop hugging my mom. "It's where your dad and I met!" My mom says. "Look how that turned out." I mumbled. "What did you just say?" My dad says angrily. "Nothing." I say. "That's what I thought." My mom says. I go to my bedroom and call my friend Rachel. We decide to go on a shopping spree. Our family is rich because both of my parents can be lawyers. I get some cash out of my drawer and head out. I meet Rachel out at my car. We go to the local mall. We get there and I know I have to buy clothes for camp but I couldn't resist the Gucci store. My friends don't know about me going to camp. We were going to spend the summer together but you know, parents.
