Gabriella and Sharpay drove up to Camp Mictlantecuhtli. After much discussing they decided to drive the long road trip to Wisconsin. So had everyone else. Ryan rode with Ted. Jason carpooled with Zeke. Kelsi, Katie, and Sasha drove in Katie's car. Greg rode by himself while Rachel rode with Taylor. Chad rode with his blue-eyed friend. Gabriella and Sharpay were the first to arrive though.

"Yes! After 14 exhausting hours of fast-food, gas stops, bathroom stops and Sharpay we're here at the camp which I can't even pronounce!" Gabriella exclaimed. She hit the steering for enhancement.

"Gabs, chillax. I know we will be out in the wilderness for say like 2 months but think of all of the money! And also look at me. I am very composed, well for me." Sharpay said with a goofy grin on her face.

"Shar, all you ever think about is money. However I think about kids too wild to control. I mean there are 60 of them and how many of us is there? See, I don't even know!" She sighs and parks the car near the entrance.

Before getting out she examines some of the details in the letter she received. It had jobs, responsibilities and rules. Lots and lots of rules. 60 of them. It was almost like there was a rule for each kid. She scanned over the first ten of them before she put the paper down. "Wow. That sure is a lot of rules! Am I ready to do this? Face 60 scary, troublesome and wild kids and become almost like a 3rd mother to them?? Oh God help me." She got out of the car to get her suitcases.

Sharpay had already taken her three bags out. Gabriella smiled and said, "Sharpay, I cannot believe you only brought three bags like you were supposed to. And yet they are the hugest most hot pink suitcases I have ever seen!" They stared down at the three huge hot pink suitcases that also had a golden S.E. inscribed on them.

"Yep, that's me!" She smiled and Gabriella grinned along with her. Sharpay herself was plainly dressed with just a white tee shirt and shorts. Gabriella was wearing the same thing except for she was wearing a hat too.

They each took two suitcases and headed towards the post office. They examined the camp in wonder. It was beautiful. Trees covered the place, the lake was gorgeous, and all the buildings were well kept. They saw a flag flying high with an owl on it in the center of the camp. Even the pathway that led to the post office was inviting. They still entered the door uncertainly.

A tall thin lady with curly brown hair and brown eyes looked up. "Oh hello, Gabriella honey!" She went over and hugged her warmly. Even though Gabriella didn't know Maria that well she still liked her a lot. "I'm so glad the counselors are finally starting to come because a lot of the last minute things are starting to pop up. Plus I need to show you guys all you need to know." She said and sighed. "Ok but enough about me and my problems. How was your trip and oh my. Where are my manners? Who is this?" She said referring to Sharpay who was slightly behind Gabriella.

"Maria, this is Sharpay Evans, who is one of my best friends and also a new counselor. It's really good to see you too! The trip was fine except for Sharpay threw up going through Kansas." Gabriella said and giggled.

"Hey it was not my fault! All those fatty chili dogs were starting to get to me!" Sharpay exclaimed.

Ten minutes later Maria said, "Well girls why don't I show you to your cabin. You'll be sharing it with five other girls. It's pretty spacious. You each will get a key as well." They headed out the door and toward the sign that said "Mictlantecuhtli Cabins" which also had an owl on it. Walking through the suburb of cabins they reached the end of the lane where the bathrooms resided.

Maria turned to the right and said, "This is your cabin. Its called Caribbean Giant Owl. Like I said it's fairly large. The five other cabins beside yours are the girl's cabins, which will house 6 each. The ones on the other side are the boy's cabins. The bathrooms are right there as well."

By this time they were inside the cabin and Gabriella and Sharpay dropped their bags. It was roomy, had 4 bunk beds, 8 dressers, a desk and a table with 5 chairs. It also had 6 windows that looked out of the cabin. "Homey and simple. Cozy too." Gabriella thought.

Maria handed them each a set of keys. "Here are keys to all the buildings including here. Well I got to get back and greet the other counselors. Tonight we'll have a meeting at 5:00 with dinner, schedules, rules, activities and everything you will need to know. See you later girls!" Maria said. She waved goodbye and walked out the door. Suddenly Gabriella and Sharpay looked at each other with daggers in their eyes. They knew what was coming because it happened every time they went to a camp. As soon as the door clicked Gabriella and Sharpay raced toward the nearest bed.

They both tried reach the top first. "Hey this is MY bed!" screamed Gabriella.

"Noo mine first. I saw first, I jump first, I claim first!" yelled Sharpay.

"You always get the top bunk! Remember in 6th grade we both went to that dance camp and you just had to have the top bunk or else you would stop being best friends?!?!" Gabriella shouted. They were still struggling to get up because it was very high up and they were both clawing at each other.

"Well I was selfish and mean and you were nice and naive. Besides I need it more. I always sleep on a $4000 dollar bed that now if I don't have this top bunk I will be sore and cranky and kids will hate me because of you!" Sharpay screamed.

"Too bad. Besides I'm poorer than you. And I deserve it more. Plus there's probably spiders up here!" Gabriella yelled.

"Well that won't work sister because I'll just call Daddy and tell his to get his butt over here and kill the freakish thing!" Sharpay exclaimed.

"But I want the damn bed more!!" Gabriella screamed

"No I do!" Sharpay yelled.

"No I do!"

"No I DO!"

"No I do!"

In the middle of their screaming three girls burst into the room to find them shouting and clawing at each other. "Hey Shar, you know there is a ladder on the other side." Said a short girl with auburn hair and greenish gray eyes with glasses. Sharpay and Gabriella immediately slinked off the bed with blushing faces to see three more of the future counselors.

Sharpay though shook of the blushing and ran forward with a grin. She hugged the auburn haired girl and started jumping up and down. "Kelsi! Oh my gosh! You're here! Yes yes yes!! Now my world is complete!" Gabriella walked forward and saw the two other girls behind Kelsi.

One was short, maybe even a little shorter than Kelsi with short straight blonde hair, beautiful green eyes, glasses and an inviting smile. The other was very tall, tan, and had straight flowing black hair and blue eyes. She looked smart and friendly. After Sharpay had introduced Kelsi to Gabriella, Kelsi said, "Well right here are two of my friends. Sharpay, Gabriella, I'd like you to meet Katie Heckler (referring to the blonde) and Sasha Moblon (referring to the Indian). They also go to U of A." Gabriella and Sharpay both said hello to the two girls who both returned the greeting warmly.

Gabriella however next said, "Excuse me guys for just one second. I have to go exult in my triumph." They all stared at her confusedly as she ran towards the bunk bed again, went to the other side and successfully climbed up the ladder.

She started yelling, " The poor girl triumphs over the selfish lazy bum and now we can do the happy dance!" She jumps off the bed and starts dancing all over the place. Kelsi, Katie and Sasha were all laughing while Sharpay shook her head and said, " Next year, Next year."


About half and hour later of idle chit chat while the girls were unpacking and settling in, the door burst open once again. This time there were two girls. The first one entering was African American with brown eyes and dark hair. She looked like someone you could confide in when you really needed to. The other was a girl with red hair, brown sparkly eyes and freckles all over her face. All the girls had stopped talking and moving while they contemplated on what to do. They didn't know these two girls and even though they had years of experience with greeting people they were hesitant.

Gabriella though immediately walked forward with her most genuine smile and said, "Took you guys long enough to get here! Hi, my name is Gabriella Montez and these are my friends, Sharpay Evans, Katie Heckler, Sasha Moblon, and Kelsi Neilson."

They both shook hands and the dark girl said, "Hi! Nice to meet you. My names Taylor McKessie and this is my friend Rachel Trails. And being late was most definitely not our faults because there was a huge traffic jam in Kansas all because of a stupid cow in the road!" The girls all laughed and all soon became fast friends.

After they were all done settling in it was 4:30. "Hey guys, do you know we have to get up at 5:30 here? I can hardly bear to get up at 7:00!" Sasha lamented.

"I soo know what you mean," Sharpay sighs. "I mean, it's hard enough during school but during the summer I always sleep until 10:00!! How will I wake up early and get enough sleep without dying from lack of sleep?"

They all smiled and Taylor said, " I hardly believe that could happen Sharpay. Besides I brought my handy dandy alarm clock." She took it out of her suitcase and placed it on the desk.

"Hey guys, have you seen any of the boy counselors around here? It seems they have all been late or I have just not seen them." Gabriella inquired.

"Don't worry Gabs! When they get here they will be worshipping you from sunrise to sunset 24/7 and on every day of the week!" Sharpay grinned.

They all laughed except Gabriella who was glaring. "That's not what I meant Shar! We will need some male presence's to keep the younger males in line. Do you guys know anyone that is male that is coming?" she said.

"Well duh, my brother is coming and he said he was riding with his friend Ted." said Sharpay.

Rachel exclaimed, "Hey I know Ted Sheuler! He's one of my best friends and told me about this job in the first place!"

Taylor piped up, "Also my cousin Zeke is coming. I don't think any of you know him but I warn you, he loves cooking more than life itself. So stay away from his precious spatula. Would you believe it? He named it Blondie!" Taylor threw her hands up in the air and shook her head at her cousin while they all giggled.

"Well I didn't even tell anyone." said Sasha.

"I don't know any guys coming." said Katie.

Kelsi said, "Not me neither. Ooops. Double negative. Oh goodness! since I'm taking English you'd think I would have learned that by now! Double negatives have always been the death of me." She clutched at her heart for dramatic effect and everyone laughed again.

Then they were all silent for a moment because they were thinking about tomorrow when the kids would come. "You know, this is a really big job. We have to watch over 60 kids for 8 weeks which includes waking them, feeding them, entertaining them, teaching them, be good role models, and on top of that how will we memorize all those names?? Gabriella thought out loud.

They all smiled thoughtfully while Taylor said, "I've never had a job like this before but after it, we should probably be able to tackle anything. Which is a good thing, I guess."

"Responsibility. That's the keyword. We all have to make good, responsible decisions. We have to be responsible for 8 weeks. Think you can handle that Sharpay?" Rachel asked teasingly.

"This summer job should bring us a lot. Like real maturity that doesn't come from college but from being around kids and taking care of them." said Sasha.

"It'll make us learn to be patient." said Katie with a smile.

"It will probably make us hate kids as well." Kelsi said with a mischievous glint in her eye.

"You guys are so serious! Lighten up! It will be fun too, probably!" Sharpay exclaimed.

"It will bring us courage to face other things in this doggy dog world." Said Taylor solemnly.

During this small conversation Gabriella had been silent feeling a premonition she had never felt before. Something, something big was going to happen. "I don't know what it is yet guys, but I think this summer will bring me something that I forgot I ever had... and well you know, you guys too!" She said after a moment's pause. Quiet fell upon them once again.

Suddenly Katie looks at her watch. "Oh my gosh! Its 5:10!" she cried. They all immediately race out of the cabin towards the dining room.
