"Alberta! Get your fat ass out of that fat bed!"

I groaned. "Coming Mom!"

Yup, that's my name… Alberta, after some stupid province in Canada I suppose… Or maybe it was just my Mom coming up with a name she tought was 100% original… Pushing my self up on my arms I walked over to the large dresser, I pulled out a few clothes. A pair of tight jeans, a pale pink T-shirt that had black splotches on it, miss match socks, (One green and one orange!) then ran my brush though my hair. My hair was brunette with pink died tip…. Yes I died my hair pink! Problem? Okay good. My little sister, Nellie, ran into the room. "UPPPPPPP WAAAAAKKKKEEE UPPP!"

I glared at her. "I will toss this brush at your darn head unless you leave me in peace…"

Surprisingly she listened. I turned around and looked at all the junk on my bed. "Packing.." I muttered underneath my breath, Mom had wanted to send me to this weird summer camp. I dunno why. When packing I caught sight of something red on my side. I lifted my shirt up and saw that I was bleeding. "Damn… Have to wash this now." I peeled the shirt off and put a band-aid on the scratch. I put on another shirt and started packing.

Two hours later I was done. Almost all my shorts, T-shirts, tooth brush, hair brush, big bag of hair elascitcs, (I told them to all stay put and not run off to unknown parts of my bags..) first aid stuff, a book, my knife (Yes I have a knife… I don't know what im gonna do with it yet!) nail polish (In case we go into town.) skirts, and some other stuff. I walked downstairs and saw my mother staring at me. "You woke up late… And took two hours to get out of bed! Quick go pack! Fast!"

"Mom, I already am packed."

"Good Job, Abbie." Said Nellie.

I ran back up and pulled down my bags. "So.. Uh. WHY Do you want me to go to this summer camp Mom?"

"Because there will be kids like you.."

"Me? Like me?! The kids that when it thunders you feel alive? The kids that-"

"SHUT UP CHILD!"

I sighed, crossing my arms. I was different then half the kids I knew. What I was gonna finished with was that If one of my friends lied, I never talked to them again. I could not STAND liars or cheaters or oath breathers. Also I adore thunder and lighting. I suppose im just Me I guess..

My mother ordered me to get in the car along with Nellie. I followed her orders. I suppose I should tell you a bit about my family.. Well… My mom sleeps with a bunch of guys. She got pregnant twice, first with me then with Nellie. I suppose I'll never know who my father is but I think that is good.. I don't want to know if my father is some drunken guy that does nothing but drink and work to get drunk again. As I thought that a clap of thunder sounded far off in the distance. Well, that's all I have to tell I suppose, aside from the fact that Mom's parents died. They died in an earthquake.

After awhile of driving I had to use the toilet pretry darn bad.. So I asked Mom if I could, she said yes and directed me over the hill to a strawberry farm. I followed her directions and it was kinda hard getting over the hill. I thought something was gonna come out and attack me.. Once I got over the hill I saw lots and lots of strawberries… Heck it was still spring! They should be little green plants now! Also I saw a few people bending over the plants. All of them had orange T-shirts. Each one of the T-shirts read "Half Blood Camp." I waved my hand around. "Hello!"

This caused some of the kids to look up. They pointed at me. Is it really not normal to see a 13 year old girl in a T-shirt and jeans? I walked down. Some people whispers. "She couldn't have gotten past if she isn't one.."
