"Okay you vermin, listen up!" Announced Victor, walking into living room where everyone was. "Mr. Sweet had announced that the whole eleventh grade must take a camping trip!"
"Go Sweetie!" Cheered Alfie.
"As I was saying," Victor continued, handing Alfie a toothbrush, "we leave tomorrow. Trudy will hand out packing lists for everyone. It's one night and two days."
Trudy began to pass out pieces of paper to everyone. On one side, there was schedule, and one the other side there was a packing list.
"Look! Were going to go swimming in a lake on the second day!" Squealed Amber, a huge smile on her face.
"Just wait until she finds out that there isn't any electricity." Fabian whispered to Nina, making her laugh.
"Now get to bed!" Shouted Victor.
All of the students quickly ran to their rooms and began packing.
"Okay, so Nina, I've told you this a million times. You. Have. To. Wear. A. Bikini." Amber said slowly. The two girls had been fighting over what swimsuit Nina was going to wear.
"No, I don't. I want to wear this!" Nina held up a dark blue one piece.
"Yes, you do!" Amber shoved a pink swimsuit into Nina's green bag. "Don't you want to look good for Fabian?"
"Amber, were not even dating!"
"Not yet!"
"Okay, how 'bout a compromise. I get to wear a T-shirt over the bikini."
"Fine. I give up. You're hopeless. You and Fabian both!" Amber threw her hands up in exasperation. "Now, I have to go pack my toiletries." Amber left.
Nina shook her head and finished packing. Then, she crawled into her bed and quickly fell asleep.
The next day was Saturday. Everyone was downstairs bright and early, their bags stacked messily by the door. Trudy had a wonderful breakfast laid out, enough to feed Mick, Alfie and the rest of the house. So there was a lot of food!
"Is everyone ready to leave?" Victor asked, walking down into the dining room, where everyone was eating.
"Yes Victor." Everyone replied.
Amber was bouncing in her seat. She still hadn't figured out why bug spray was on the packing list.
"Then get out side with all of the other eleventh graders and find the group of kids from Isis house.
The students of Anubis house all grabbed their bags and walked outside. All of the eleventh grade was outside. The Anubis boarders quickly found the students from Isis house.
There wasn't much time to meet the Isis house boarders, because Mr. Sweet soon came outside with a megaphone.
"We are going to leave now and we should be getting to the spot where we will sleep tonight in about two to three hours. Now please get in groups of two.
Nina quickly grabbed Fabian's hand. Then she realized they were holding hands and let go quickly. Fabian grabbed her hand back.
Joy and Patricia linked arms. Joy looked a little sad as she glanced at Nina and Fabian holding hands.
Mick and Mara held hands and looked around at everyone else
Alfie and Jerome stood next to each other and Jerome shook his head as Amber went to stand besides Alfie. Hurt, Amber walked over to Mr. Sweet.
"Mr. Sweet!"
"Or you can had a group of three."
"Thanks."
Amber walked back over to Jerome and Alfie and stuck her tongue out at Jerome.
"Everyone follow me!" Mr. Sweet shouted through the mega phone.
The entire eleventh grade began to walk into the woods. Amber swatted the air like crazy.
"So this is why bug spray was on the list!" Amber screamed.
Jerome snickered. Amber shut him up by punching him in the gut.
"Girl. Punches. Hard." Jerome managed to get out.
Amber giggled, "look who's laughing now."
