Fandom camp

Meeting the Brits

It's been a week since my mom said I'm going to fandom camp and to be honest I'm a mess. trying to pack for three months at a camp full of fangirls sounds easy but honey, it's not.

But today was the day I left. I had to wake up at two am in order to catch my flight, and my was I happy about This.

I grabbed my suitcase and backpack and hurried down stairs, since it was too early to eat breakfast I didn't eat anything.

"Morning honey"

"Morning mom"

"Make sure you have everything you need because I heard from all the other mothers that their kids are bringing their laptops. Do you want to bring yours?"

"Wait how did you talk to all the other moms?"

"Oh the camp started a blog on tumblr so all the moms talk to each other there, we're all like best friends on the Internet"

"Wait you have a tumblr now?" I questioned.

"Oh Ya it's so groovy I started following you so when your at camp we can keep up!" My Mom said with excitement while I sat there with my mouth hanging to the floor. "Isn't that exciting honey?"

"Ya, it's splendid" I said still pondering over the thought that my mom has a tumblr now.

I went back upstairs to grab my laptop

"We Should probably get going" my mom says. "Okay" I say

We get into the car with the suitcase and my backpack.

"I want you to be nice to people here and make sure that you have fun". My mom said to me putting emphasize on the word 'fun'.

"Trust me mom I will do both. This is going to be awesome".

"I know honey just make sure your not that kid, I know it's a fandom camp but please try to look up from your phone"

"I will mom and thanks for letting me go"

"Your welcome honey, I couldn't of said no if I did I would have felt bad."

"Aw thanks mom"

We pulled up to the airport my mom parked right up front because she probably wouldn't be in the airport for to long.

We walked in and got my ticket. There was a couple of other girls doing the same. We made our way up stairs to the terminal.

"I love you sweetie, have fun, and don't forget to call me."

"Love you to mom and I'll try to call you everyday."

We said our goodbyes and next thing I knew I was sitting in the waiting area with a group of Brits right next to me.
They must have all bonded together because they've all been together since yesterday.

Most of them were wearing shorts and hoodies. Since it was three fricking am. I couldn't complain since some these girls have been pretty much touring the western hemisphere since Thursday.

I think that's when the first flights started. I knew That Europe and west was one leg and Asia and easy was the other leg.

I knew that I didn't have to travel for to long after this we stopped in Las Vegas and then we flew to San Francisco and then drove north.

I could see one of the Brits walking towards me. I wasn't one to complain about this cause the sooner I met someone the sooner I wouldn't be 'that kid'

A girl that was about 5'10 walked over to me, she had bright blue hair. She was wearing a pair of Nike shorts and some soccer sweatshirt. I don't know why but I really like her hair.

"Hey, I'm Kate and I just wanted to talk to you because you seem like you have no one to talk to so now I'm going to talk to you, oh my god I'm sorry I just talk so much."

"No it's fine, I'm Brooklyn where are you from? I'm going to guess somewhere in England."

"Ya I'm from Manchester ,but Oh. My. God. I love your name it's so mystical." Kate said with making some sort of motion with her hands. "where are you from?"

"I'm actually from Dallas so I didn't have to drive far to get here." I said trying to act cool because British people intimidate me.

"So what fandom are you coming to the camp for?" She asks me.

"I'm coming for the 5sos one mainly but I really could have been in any one too because I love one direction too ." I answer her question.

"I'm here for the 5sos one to, I'm pretty excited because I've never been to a camp before and I'm in fricking America for the next three months which is awesome, Americas really nice."

"It depends where you are." I say.

I really wanted to tell her that she's only seen the airports and that if she was ever to stay here for a year and deal with all the crazy shit that happens here she would probably change her mind.

"Oh no, America is the best." she says in response to my shade towards America.

"I'm starving I've been eating pretzels and diet coke for the past eight hours do you want to go get some real food?" Kate asks me.

I couldn't really say no since I haven't eaten either and food is always the best.

We find ourselves at a Taco Bell at the other side of the airport surrounded by a group of Asians. It wasn't the ideal meal at three am but it worked for two fifteen year old girls who where about to go be on a plane for the next few hours.

We talked about our lives, Kate lives in Manchester will her mom. I told her about how life was in America because she was very interested. It didn't bother me because I guess if I was British I would be interested too.

After about three burritos each we were both bloated and started making our to the other side of the airport. When we got to the other side we started talking about our lives again because somehow hearing about someone just from a different country was the best thing ever.

It was about thirty minutes untill five so they started letting people on the plane.

Kate and I sat together in the very back of the plane because to Kate that was the best part, because you could annoy the flight attendants enough to make them want to jump out of the plane and to me That didn't sound to bad.

During the flight Kate noticed that since she had been flying the same airline for the past day now all the attendants had made their way to the front and only came to the back when they absolutely had to. She didn't seem to annoyed because she had her phone with her.

Being the creeper I am I decided to see what she was doing. I looked over to her phone and saw she was on wattpad. Oh. My. God. Yas she reads fanfiction.

I asked her what she was reading.

When she said that she was reading mute I literally thought I screamed so loud first class could hear me. Because that book is so good I'm reading voices right now and I swear to god it does things to me.

Once our plane landed on Las Vegas we walked to new our terminal. We met a couple new kids most of them were from the fifth harmony fandom.

One was in the 5sos fandom so we talked to her for a bit she was named Abbey she had blonde hair and was from Phoenix.

When we got on our plane to San Francisco we noticed that it was entirely full of people on their way to fandom camp. It was really cool just seeing everyone happy being with people with common interests as them.

Something I wasn't used to seeing.

AN/what do you think of Kate? She's gonna be around for awhile ;) and I'm pretty sure I am Kate cuz once when I was in like third grade I met a Canadian and I was asking so many question I felt bad for her.
Also can I get feedback I want to know what you guys think. :)
