Vacation

Okay, it's Sunday now. The weekend is almost over and I haven't had any fun. Friday 5 ghosts visited me, then yesterday I was stuck in my room until my step dad felt sorry for me and wanted me to play that boring LIFE game with them. Today, once again, I'm stuck in my room. So far Jesse hasn't come. Spike has but all he's done is given me the evil eye. That's great company. It's times like this that I really wonder what's so great about my life. Father D and Paul don't have a problem with there gift, so why should I? Of course, Father D likes it and Paul thinks it's a big game. Which he prides over so much. It's sickening. Anyway, I think I'll go downstairs and get a snack. So, as I was going downstairs, I heard mom and Andy talking. I think it's about me, too. What more can they have in store for me? "I just don't think she's happy right now," I heard mom say. "Well, what do you think we should do about it?" Andy said. "Maybe she needs a vacation, just to get away from school and whatever else is bothering her." "I guess that sounds okay, as long as we get one of her friends to get her make up work." Oh boy! I get to go on a vacation! I can get away from my annoying family and Paul! Hopefully no ghosts will follow me. I doubt that'll happen, though. But who cares? I'm going on a vacation! So, I went into the kitchen with a huge smile on my face. Dopey was at the table reading a magazine when I walked in. "Why do you look even more retarded than usual?", he asked. I didn't even answer because I was on Cloud 9. So, I went back up to my room with a bag of chips. There was Jesse, sitting on the window seat reading that stupid book again. I went over and sat on my bed eating my chips. "Hello, Susannah," he said. "Hi, Jesse." What a conversation. I thought I might as well tell him about my trip. "Guess what? Mom and Andy are letting me go on a vacation for a little while. Isn't that great!" "Where are you going?" He didn't sound too thrilled. "I'm not sure yet, but at least it's a vacation!" All of a sudden there was another knock on my door. I hate how I'm always having visitors. So, I opened the door and there stood mom and Andy. I bet they're going to tell me about my trip! Jesse disappeared, like he always does. Mom led me over to my bed and sat down beside me. "Suze, me and Andy think you've been a little sad lately, what with moving and having to get use to a new school and all. So, we thought you might like to go on a vacation. How does that sound?" I tried to sound surprised. "That's great! Where am I going?" "Well, we thought you might like to go to a camp. We've already signed you up and everything. Doesn't that sound like fun?" A camp? You've got to be kidding me. I was thinking a cruise. Not wanting to hurt there feelings I said, "Oh, yeah. That sounds like fun." "Great! I knew you would love it! Here's the pamphlet to look at. We'll see you downstairs in about 45 min. for supper." So, after they left I took a good look at the pamphlet. Camp Oaks. I've heard of this camp before. I can't remember how but I have. That's when it hit me. Father D had told me that in the early 90's, a young girl had gone missing. They found her body a week later in the woods behind her cabin. They thought she had been strangled. Ever since then her ghost has been haunting the camp. Or so people think. Weird messages like "Always look behind you" have been written on the mirrors and people have said they can here screams at night. Great. A haunted camp and I get to go there.
