Kate, Sarah, and two 7th graders, Emily, and Liana had decided that they
would move into the next tent. Well Miranda and I didn't want to be left
out from our friends, Sarah and Kate were pretty much our best friends that
we had there, so we went over into that tent.
"Hey guys, mind if we join you?" Miranda asked.
"Well yeah, actually there are already TWO other troops in here, so there's really not enough room for YOU," Kate said rudely.
"Oh, well we kind of wanted to be with you guys," Miranda stated. I was really disappointed that we couldn't be in their tent. I really really didn't want to be in other tent, not to be mean, but I didn't know those people to well and plus Miranda, Sarah, Kate and I are always inseparable on these trips. But I wasn't really worried because I knew that Miranda wasn't giving up yet.
"Yeah, we always share tents together, I'd be really sad if we couldn't this time," I told them.
"Yeah, but there's really nothing we can do, we were here first," snorted Kate. Ah! Sometimes I just couldn't stand her, it was like the whole world revolved around her.
"Maybe, we can have four of the other 7th graders switch with you guys and then none of us will have to be separated," Miranda suggested.
"Yeah!" Sarah and I both said at the same time.
"Hey guys, can you come here for a minute?" Miranda called the rest of the troop over.
"Yeah." A girl named Keesha asked, I wasn't sure if I really liked her yet, I don't mean to sound rude, but she always seemed to look upset and have an attitude.
"Well, we were wondering if it would be possible if 4 of you girls, would switch tents with these girls so none of us will have to split up," Miranda said nice and coolly. Wow, she was really handling this well. I was glad I didn't have to say anything because I'd probably explode at Kate. Oh sometimes I really wondered about her.
"I'm not moving!" snapped Keesha. See I knew I didn't like this girl..
"Guys, I don't see why four of us can't move for them," Rachel, the leader Nancy's daughter reasoned. Rachel was really quiet, but she seemed really nice, her mom was the total opposite of her. I figured that her Mom talked so much at home Rachel never got a chance to get a word in, the poor thing.
"Ya, I'd be willing to move," another girl Kim piped up. I sort of felt bad for Kim. She always had her hair down and in her face. It looked like she didn't really brush it either, she could be really pretty if she did something with that hair. Oh well.
"You guys, Nina and I ARE NOT moving!" Keesha was being really stubborn.
"Well, we could always just have two of you move and then squeeze everyone else in the tent, as long as we are together," I said quietly, I wasn't really sure how this was going to play out.
Nina piped up just then, "No, you know what I wouldn't mind moving actually, as long as I can have my cot."
"WHAT?!" Kate screeched, I swear they must have heard her on the other side of the world, "You girls are NOT allowed to have cots! Camp rules!"
"They were in our tent!" Keesha retorted, and who invited you into this conversation I thought! Wow Lizzie calm down it's only a cot.
"Well guys, sorry to say, but you really can't have cots here," smooth McGuire, talk nicely and they'll listen for sure.
"I'M TELLING ON YOU!" Keesha defiantly beat Kate out on that yell.
"Ok! This is girl scouts! We don't tell on each other at this age! We are cadets and we can figure this out!" Jackie was now in on this. O man this was turning into one big fiasco.
"Guys, never mind about that cots for now, we need to figure out who's sleeping where, my stuff is sitting outside," Miranda was back in control. Go Miranda!
"How about this, I'll move, and then we just need three more people to," Rachel offered, she was really nice.
"Girls, please move, think about this you still have 3 more years to come here, this is the ninth graders last year being together and you really should let us all be together, please we are older," Jackie said, she was treating the poor 7th graders like little kids.
"Jackie, I think we can handle this with out treating them like little kids!" Kate hated Jackie and took every chance she had to yell at her.
This continued for probably 15 more minutes when finally Rachel, Kim, Margaret, and Nina offered to move for us. Thank goodness.
"Ok lets move all this stuff and switch tents," I said.
"You know what, I'm all settled here, and I don't really feel like moving," Kate complained. I knew this was too good to be true.
"Well its not like you unpacked or anything, why don't Lizzie and I help you move your stuff," Miranda proposed.
"No, I really don't want to move, I mean I'm happy where I am I don't see why we have to change everything, we were here first." Kate was so annoying I couldn't believe this after all we just went through!
"Kate, I don't mind moving, I could see if we unpacked, but its no big deal," Liana reasoned smartly, I knew I always liked that girl.
"No come on you guys, lets not move I like our tent," Kate was easily persuading them, especially Sarah, who didn't really have a mind of her own.
"Yeah, lets just stay put its easier," Sarah said. I just couldn't take it any more.
"AFTER ALL WE JUST WENT THROUGH! So now that they are willing to move, you guys change your mind Gee thanks a lot! All we wanted to do was be with you."I was afraid I'd say something else if I didn't stop, something mean to Kate that I'd defiantly regret later.
"I don't want to move either," Emily said taking Kate's side of course.
"So you see, lets just stay where we are! I'm happy where I am so lets not move" Kate finished up happily.
"Kate, we know your happy, but we want EVERYONE to be happy!" Miranda said exasperated. I was really proud of her for saying that and standing up to Kate like that.
"Well sorry, but its just easier to stay where we are, Miranda," I could see Kate wasn't giving in any time soon.
"Oh well, come on Miranda, well move our stuff into the other tent, there is no use arguing any more," I said disappointed.
"Sorry guys, lets go have dinner first though, I'm starved," Sarah said brightly.
We all agreed with her, we were starved, so we yelled to Ginny we were leaving to go get dinner, actually Kate did, she said ok, and we trudged down to dinner
"Hey guys, mind if we join you?" Miranda asked.
"Well yeah, actually there are already TWO other troops in here, so there's really not enough room for YOU," Kate said rudely.
"Oh, well we kind of wanted to be with you guys," Miranda stated. I was really disappointed that we couldn't be in their tent.
