I'm going to warn you, the first four chapters of this story are short and pretty boring, but I just wanted to get through them so that the fun can begin :) I promise the rest of the story won't be this short.
Plot: Lucy Messer and Lydia Monroe don't know each other, but when they meet at camp, they realize they have a lot more in common than just sharing the same cabin.
Disclaimer: Nothing's mine. At least, not the stuff that you recognize.
I was going to camp. Never in my life had I gone to camp, but now I was suddenly being shipped off to California for three weeks out of my summer vacation. This is not how I want to spend a part of my vacation. People like me just don't go to camp. We don't belong.
"You can't send me away! I'm going to be all alone. I could get eaten by a bear or something," I argued with my dad as he drove me to the airport. He rolled his eyes in response, which earned him a glare from me.
"Lucy, you aren't going to be alone. You're teacher from last year is a counselor at this camp. She's taking all the girls from your class, so I really don't think you'll be alone. And if you see a bear, I'd suggest you run. I'd hate to get a phone call saying you've been eaten," he said, smirking at me.
"But Daddy, why do I have to go? Why can't I just stay in the city with you?"
"Because I've already paid for you to go. I don't see why you're making such a huge deal out of this. Bailey will be with you, so you're going to have a good time," he said. I looked out the car window and realized that we were close to the airport. He was right, my best friend Bailey would be with me, but that didn't mean I was going to enjoy all that nature stuff any more than I would without her. Besides, she'd be busy horseback riding or swimming in the lake. After all, she was from Colorado, so she was used to the nature. I, however, had lived in the city my entire life. The closest I've ever been to nature is at Central Park, which is hardly the same thing.
"Still, I don't think I should have to go. I mean, I know you'll think it'll be a great experience for me, but you never went to camp, and look how great you turned out," I said, grinning at him. He smiled back.
"Well, I appreciate the compliment, but you're still going," he said. I groaned as he parked the car and got out. I thought about staying in the car and refusing to leave. I'd scream if he tried to pull me out, sort of like on my first day of kindegarten, but I couldn't get away with that stuff anymore. So I got out of the car and walked with my dad to the inside of the airport. We found my teacher, Mrs. Thompson, and the group of girls who were all saying goodbye to their parents. I turned to face my dad.
"Last chance to take me home. If you do, I promise I'll never do anything bad ever again," I said. When he just stared at me, I just wrapped my arms around him. "Well, I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too, baby girl," he said, kissing the top of my head.
"If you're going to miss me so much, then why don't you let me stay?" I grumbled under my breath as I walked away to meet Bailey. All I heard him do was laugh and tell me to have a good time. Yeah, right.
