Once we got up Moon Hill Miranda and I grabbed all our junk and started
walking over to the other tent.
"Miranda I'm going to drop this! Good thing the tent it like right here!" I laughed.
"Yeah I know, this only our third move of the day!" Miranda said back.
When we reached the tent we saw all the cots set up.
'This isn't going to be good,' I thought.
"Hey everybody in my tent, can you guys take your tents down please?" I hollered.
"No, we are keeping our tents," Keesha retorted.
"Um no you're not," Miranda told her.
"Sorry guys, but you can't have them at camp this weekend because so many troops are here and they don't have enough," I told them.
"Yeah we can have them my mom even told me!" Keesha yelled.
"What's wrong guys?" Jackie asked.
"Well Keesha, Margaret and Nina all have cots and they aren't allowed to," I filled Jackie in. It probably wasn't a good idea though, knowing how Jackie would handle it, I defiantly should have left her out of this.
Instantly Jackie snapped into action, "YOU GIRLS MOVE THESE COTS RIGHT NOW!"
"NO! NOT UNTIL OUR MOM'S COME!" Keesha yelled.
"Yeah we don't have to do anything till our Mom's tell us too," Margaret agreed.
"And I'm not doing anything until their mom's tell me too, and they won't tell us we can't have cots because they like us so haha," Nina taunted.
"OK FIRST OF ALL."Jackie started.
"No, Jackie stop," I cut in, "Girls this is a camp rule and Miranda and I can't fit in if you guys don't take the cots out," I said sweetly, I thought maybe if I was nice they might listen.
"NO we aren't we already told you!" Keesha snapped.
Oh well I tried, I thought it was time to tell the other girls because there was no way that Keesha, Margaret and Nina were going to listen to Miranda and me.
"Come on Miranda lets go tell, Kate and Sarah."
"Hey Sarah, hi Kate, um we kind of need your help.."
"Yea, what's all that yelling about?" Sarah asked.
"O god, you don't want us to start, but we need your help so 3 of the girls in our tent won't give up their cots, until their MOTHERS tell them to!" Miranda informed them.
"WHAT!? Who is it?" Kate asked.
"Keesha, Nina, and Margaret."
"We already told them they couldn't have cots!" Sarah told us, "They know they can't!"
"Well obviously they don't listen to us!" I said exasperated.
"I'm going over there with you," Sarah said, "Come on Kate."
So we all walked back over to our tent and the first thing we heard was Jackie.
"I'M GOING TO THROW YOUR STUFF OUT OF THE TENT!" Jackie threatened.
Oh noooo..
"Yeah guys! Come on you have to take your stuff out!" Sarah jumped in.
Miranda and I were just standing there holding out stuff, and half of mine was on the ground because I couldn't hold it all. If they'd only FOLLOW the RULES and take the cots out of the tent!
"Ok, listen up! Everyone's cots are going to go outside right now because Miranda and I can't fit in the tent! And if you don't like it well then."I trailed off. Hey at least I tried to take charge.
"Then you can go complain to the leaders!" Miranda finished.
"No why should we listen to you?" Margaret asked.
"BECAUSE WE ARE OLDER!" Jackie was on a mean streak!
"So what?" Nina said.
"Yeah who cares? Our Mom's have the final say NOT YOU!" Keesha told us smartly.
Pretty soon everyone was screaming and yelling. Jackie and Sarah were both out of control. Keesha seemed to think her mother would come running over and tell her that she could have a cot, but her mom was somewhere finding out our activities for the morning since we STILL didn't know. Margaret was Ginny's daughter she felt sure her mom would come and save her, but they didn't. So the fighting continued. With Jackie making threats left and right, Sarah was just yelling at them and the 7th graders didn't listen. I looked at Miranda and she made a face. I was beginning to think we wouldn't be able to sleep in this tent.
"Miranda I'm going to drop this! Good thing the tent it like right here!" I laughed.
"Yeah I know, this only our third move of the day!" Miranda said back.
