"Lizzie honey, are you sure your ready for this?" My mom called from
downstairs.
"Mom! I'm fine! Its not like I'm going away forever! This is just a weekend! And plus its with girl scouts, what could go wrong?" I answered. "I mean, jeez I could see if Miranda and I were going away with say.Gordo for the weekend, but its GIRL SCOUTS we r talking about! Trust me I'll be fine!"
I knew my mom meant well and all, but seriously I was going camping for a weekend, a perfectly normal thing that teenage girls do.
"I know sweetie, but I'm your mom I'm supposed to be a little bit worried."
"Yeah Ok Mom, what ever! I'm going to call up Miranda now!"
I dialed the familiar digits, Miranda has been one of my best friends for a long time now. Miranda and Gordo (David Gordon) are my two best friends in the whole world.
"Hello?"
"Hey Miranda!"
"Oh, hi Lizzie, what's up?"
"Um, not much, I'm packing for this weekend." Miranda told me.
"Yeah same here, I'm a little nervous though, because I've always known our leaders, and now our leader is a little um..."
"STRANGE! But it is still cool because we do get a weekend away from our parents!" "Yeah, I know, that's the only reason I'm actually going! Well I'd better go, what time are you picking me up though?" I asked Miranda
"Um, I guess around 5:45 because we have to meet at the community center to drive down right?"
"Yeah, that sounds good to me!"
"Ok, see ya then, bye Lizzie!"
"Bye Miranda." I said and then we hung up. I had one more phone call to make tonight before I left and went on my camping trip.
"Hello?" Gordo asked.
"Hey Gordo!"
"Oh, Lizzie Hi!"
"I just wanted to call you before I left for the weekend. You know I'm sorry I didn't tell you that Miranda and I were leaving until this morning, its just I don't know I guess I just forgot to tell you."
"Oh, its ok Lizzie, I guess I over reacted, you are Miranda are allowed to do things together with out, even if it is for the whole weekend."
Wow, he sounded really disappointed, not mention that this morning he started yelling about how Miranda and I leave him out and never fill him in.
"Gordo, when I get home, I promise you, I'll spend the whole weekend with you, both Miranda and I, and we'll do what ever you want!"
"Thanks Lizzie, well call me when you get home on Sunday! Bye."
"Bye Gordo." I really did feel bad that we didn't tell him we were going away this weekend, because we always hang out on Friday night and go to the Digital Bean, but what did he want us to do? Sign him up for girl scouts?! I don't think so!
I decided that I'd better get ready to go, I still needed to get dressed. Hmm what to wear. I ended up wearing a plain pair of jeans, ripped at the knee, and an Abercrombie cross-country tee shirt with my Abercrombie sweatshirt over it. Before I knew it, Miranda was pulling up in my driveway. My mom helped me load my sleeping bag, pillow, backpack, and bedroll.
Once we were inside the car and after I had said goodbye to my family, Mrs. Sanchez started up a conversation.
"So are you girls ready for this trip? With your new leader and all?" Mrs. Sanchez used to be our Girl Scout leader, but had gotten tired of everything and left.
"Well, she seems to be kind of loony, but I'm sure she's not TOO bad," I answered.
"Yeah, and she won't even be there tonight, because she forgot she's going to be on vacation, the weirdo!" Miranda stated. Oh yeah I had totally forgot she wasn't going to be there.
Pretty soon we were at the community center and loading our stuff outside. Miranda had to carry my sleeping bag though; because I ALWAYS drop it and it all comes unrolled. ;)
"What car are we going in?" I asked Miranda. Our troop had multiple cars driving down to Windy Lake (the camping place) because so many girls were going and we couldn't all fit in one car. "Well.I don't know. But I really want to go with you Lizzie."
"Yeah same here I don't want to end up all alone with the 7th graders that I don't know."
Just then a girl named Jackie, she was also in 9th grade, came up and asked Miranda and I if we would like to drive in her car. We told her that would be great. So Miranda and I loaded our stuff into Jackie's car.
"Guys, I hope its ok, but Karin will also be driving down with us," Jackie informed us.
"Oh ya that's fine." Miranda and I assured her. Pretty soon our car was full, there was Jackie's father in the front seat of the van driving is down. Jackie's little brother was also in the front seat. Then Jackie, Kate, and Karin were all in the pilot seats and Miranda, Sarah, and me were crammed in the back of the van. Kate and I used to be friends, but then one summer she came back from camp and starting acting all snobby and she ditched Miranda, Gordo, and I. Ever since high school started though, Kate has been anything but popular. Now we talk when we are together and we are nice to each other, but we won't go out of our way to be with each other. Sarah is a friend of Kate's; Sarah is really nice and really funny. Karin is nice to Miranda, and I but she's really mean to Jackie, she's also pretty weird. But I still like her. Then there's Jackie, and she is just Jackie Weedwacker. She is wicked weird and she's really loud and crazy, but she's mostly nice, but I don't know, she's just Jackie Weedwacker.
Finally we left the community center and we were on our way to camp, which is usually about a 45-minute ride.
"Mom! I'm fine! Its not like I'm going away forever! This is just a weekend! And plus its with girl scouts, what could go wrong?" I answered. "I mean, jeez I could see if Miranda and I were going away with say.Gordo for the weekend, but its GIRL SCOUTS we r talking about! Trust me I'll be fine!"
