Modern Pioneer Camp: A Fun Camp Where Teens Can Learn How To Live In The Pioneer World!

My mom's making me go to this supposedly fun camp for the entire summer. And to make it worse school get out in May for me and starts in September so I have 4 long months without electricity, electronics and pizza! God I hate my mom! And I'm the only one in my entire family who has to go because I got one C on my report card! My brother got loads of C's when he was a freshman! So right now I'm packing my bags for the fun camp. I can only bring books, notebooks and that's all. But my mom talked to the lady and I'm allowed to bring my modern underwear and bra's so that makes me happy. "Mom, why are you forcing me to go to this camp?" "Because it would be a wonderful experience for you and what would you be doing at home? Sitting on your lazy butt and doing nothing! That's what." "Mom, c'mon I'm only a freshman, I had to adjust to high school!" "That's no excuse. Now go finish packing the books you get to bring. Their on your bed." I sighed and walked upstairs to my room. Why the hell does my mother think she can just step into my life and ruin it! I was supposed to skate board and roller skate and that kinda stuff I always do. Now I'm being shipped to the camp. The brochure even sounds stupid:

"Come to the coolest camp around! Come and stay at Modern Pioneer Camp. Just for teens who want to experience being a pioneer in the modern era! Live in a cabin! Ladies can wear a dress! Modern underclothing required! No electronics aloud. Just come and mosey your way on down to Modern Pioneer Camp in Little Town, Montana!"

I live in New York that's how bad it is for me! I'll be over a thousand miles from home! But my mom and dad both think its "educational" and that is great for me. I made my way to my closet and changed. I was going from a yellow night gown to a blue and white plaid shirt over a white tank top and some skinny jeans. I placed my hair into a simple braid. I'm on track so I really don't wear much. I slipped on white socks and slipped into my blue converse. I then went and grabbed my blue backpack and placed the books my mom had set out for me: The Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, The Trumpeter Swan by E.B. White, The Doll in the Garden: A Ghost Story by Mary Downing Hahn, Grimm's Fairy Tales by the Grimm Brothers. I sighed and put them in the backpack. I silently put the pack onto one arm and walked out of my room. My hamster, creatively named Hamster, would be taken care of by my brother Tommy who's a year younger than me. My blond hair that had a blue streak in it fell out of the braid and I re-brushed it and put it into a messy bun. I never wear makeup; never have the time to put it on. I hate the freckles that go across my nose and how my hair is never straight enough and how I've never had my real first kiss from a boy, other than my siblings, cousins, and my dad and grandpa. I guess you could say that no boys have asked me out. "Mom, I'm ready!" I ran down the stairs and almost biffed it by tripping on my dog but I jumped over him right in time. My mom came out and said "Honey I'm having Hazel drive you to the air port. You can bring your iPod onto the plane while Hazel rides with you on the plane but then I want you to give it to her right away when she drops you off at the camp." I nodded. Hazel is my 19 year old sister. She's awesome, way better than most 19 year olds who are going to college in the fall. "Hey Hazel!" I yelled upstairs. My sister who has the brown hair and brown eyes the rest of my siblings and both my parents have. I'm the only one that has blond hair and green eyes. My dad said I look like my grandma but I really don't know I never met her though; she died the day I was born. This reminds me I won't even be home on my birthday! No I'll be in Camp Fun for my birthday which falls on, June 21st. Hazel said "You all set kiddo?" "Yeah." We walked out to her car, a silver 2012 convertible. "I know your gonna hate this camp but at least your getting the gift from me early." My mom had already given me $400 to spend at the store at the camp. My sister handed me a box. I opened it and found a book. "A book? Thanks sis." "Open it." I opened the book and found a wad of cash. "How much is this?" "Over$500, you're gonna need it to last you 4 months at that camp." "Thanks sis." I smiled at my hands. Now I had over $900 to spend on myself, I'm holding more cash in my hands than I ever held before. "How did you get this much?" "Dude, we have 8 other siblings at home we pooled the cash together. And Grandpa gave us some." I smiled. "Thanks." We reached the airport and I fell asleep during the flight listening to One Direction. "Hey we're here." I had also fallen asleep in the car. My sister was shaking my leg, very hard if I may say. "I'm up, I'm up." I handed her my iPod Touch that was encased in it blue and green case. "Thanks sis. I'll see you in a few months." I hugged her. "I'll see you soon, Ann-Marie." She turned around and left. I walked into the camp. Not knowing what was coming towards me, other than there being a lot of horse crap.
