IHateCamp

Hey!! Ok before I start this story, I've decided not to write IHaveASister so I'm going to write this instead.

Summary: Through a problem in the AV Club, Freddie is forced to become a camp counsellor at Camp Happy, a camp for badly behaved children and teens aged 6-17. There he meets an extremely badly behaved 16 year old girl. Problems start when he finds himself falling for her and ends up torn between his perfect girlfriend, Carly and the blonde delinquent Sam.

Chapter 1: Fire and Choices

The AV Club were having their usual meeting on Monday after school. They were listening intently at what Shane was saying and none of them noticed that Howard Kent the football star, who also practised on a Monday after school, had snuck into the room and was hiding behind the stand for the projector.

He snickered to himself as he pulled out a box of matches and lit one. He watched the small flame dance in front of his face for a moment then threw it into a corner of the room. The match hit a cardboard box and it caught fire. It was small at first but then it started to spread.

Howard quickly left the room and stood at the door. He heard the people in the AV Club shout and one let out a girly scream as Howard realised the fire was probably spreading and burning a lot of stuff. Happy with himself he ran off to tell the rest of the team he had completed his dare.

Freddie Benson quickly left the room along with the others. Shane was on the phone to emergency services and Gibby was trying to use a fire extinguish the fire but the fire was practically engulfing the whole room and his attempts were useless.

Principal Franklin was furious when he found out what had happened. He held an assembly the very next morning with the whole school demanding someone step forward and own up to it. No one did.

"Very well then, if no one shall own up we will have to bring the police into this. To who ever done this it may have been a joke or to impress their friends but to me it's vandalism and that is a crime," Principal Franklin told them in a completely serious voice. "Own up now and the consequences will not be as dire as Juvenile Hall which no doubt about it will be what happens if the police get involved."

No one spoke at all. The whole school just looked around the room, wondering if someone would admit to it.

Freddie was sitting next to his girlfriend Carly. Their hands were intertwined. Freddie was stroking her hand with his thumb. A sign of affection he done a lot.

"Alright then, if no one plans to own up, the police will be involved," Principal Franklin said. "Oh and could Freddie Benson please come to my office. I need to talk to him. You can all go to class now."

Carly looked at her boyfriend confused as people started to leave the hall.

"What is it about?" she asked. "Do you think they'll be asking about the fire?"

Freddie simply shrugged at his girlfriend. He wasn't too sure what it was about but he would find out soon.

In Principal Franklin's office Freddie was sitting across from his principal, wondering what he was there for.

"What is this about?" he asked and Principal Franklin sighed.

"Freddie as you know, AV Club has been cancelled due to the fire," the principal said and Freddie nodded. "Well you are the only member who isn't part of another extra-curricular activity."

Freddie didn't understand what was going on. Why had he been called to the office to discuss his extra-curricular activities? He voiced these thought and Principal Franklin gave him an answer.

"Well with no extra-curricular activities and the end of the term nearing, you can't earn the credit points you need to pass this year," he said.

"WHAT!" Freddie yelled outraged. "BUT I ALWAYS WORK HARD AND WHY AM I BEING PUNISHED FOR SOMEONE DESTROYING MY CLUB?"

"Now Freddie, you have two choices. Summer school is obviously the first one," Principal Franklin said and the colour drained from Freddie's face at the thought of going there. "Or I am willing to give you the credits if over the summer; you become a camp counsellor at Camp Happy."

Freddie stared at his principal with a blank expression on his face. What the hell was Camp Happy?

Principal Franklin handed him over a leaflet about it. Freddie read through it and realised that it was a camp for delinquents aged 6-17. Freddie burst out laughing at the thought of his principal sending him off to some camp for badly behaved kids.

"Is something amusing?" Principal Franklin asked.

"It's just... you can't be serious about this!" Freddie said. "I'm not sure what is worse, Summer School or Camp Happy! Besides I want to spend my summer with Carly not some juvenile kids."

"Perhaps not but if you don't go to either of these then you will be spending your next year here repeating this grade," Principal Franklin told him.

Freddie realised this was no joke. He had to make a decision. There was no way in hell he was ever going to summer school which only left one option.

"I'll go to Camp Happy," he mumbled and Principal Franklin grinned happily at him.

"Great, I'll phone up Brian Adams he's the camp director and let him though I've found someone to fill up that empty counsellor space. Don't worry though. You'll be working with the 15-17 year olds and Counsellors get picked up on the first day of summer in a mini-bus to take you there," Principal Franklin sounded extremely excited. "Oh and this looks great on a collage application form. Now you better get to class."

Freddie stood up and left the office scuffing his feet along the ground annoyed. Whoever started the fire, Freddie hated now with a burning passion.

So tell me what you think please!

Oh and Seddie fans, there won't be much Creddie in this story. A little bit but not much.
