I do NOT own Camp Kimball!

Chapter Three Band Camp Arrives

The week seemed to fly by, with practice on Wednesday and Sunday, Monday seemed to come early. Band camp was the high light of my year. It was something I looked forward to every year, and now it was coming to an end. Senior year, a year for a lot of last's.

"Well congrats everyone! We are now ready to leave for Camp Kimball!" announced Blackmer outside the band room. "We just need to wait for the buses, and then we will be off for one exciting week at band camp!"

"WOOOOOO!" shouted the band.

"While we wait, the lovely band mom's have brought you all pizza. We will go in order, starting with the senior girls."

Me, Dani and Jenny raced off to grab the food. We knew that we had to grab the food fast or else it would be gone, even though the girls go first, the guys always seem to sneak away to get first dibs on the food.

We managed to grab a couple slices and headed towards the gym commons.

"Psst Dani." Jenny hissed.

"Huh?" Dani asked reveling the mashed up piece of cheese pizza.

"EW!" Jenny shrieked "Got the saran wrap?"

"DUH!"

Saran wrap, a big part of our senior pranks we planed.

"Hey babe." Peter said planting a kiss on the top of Jenny's head. He sat down with us closely followed by Andrew and Kenny.

"Hey guys." Dani and I said.

"Hey Layla." Kenny said turning a bright shade of red.

Everyone knew that Kenny liked me, but he was to stupid to tell me. I didn't like him like that, he was just one of my best friends.

"Hey Layla. Isn't that Mike over there?" Jenny asked.

Mike was a sophomore, and my crush. I started liking him at the end of junior year, and the crush was back in full force. But I knew nothing would ever happen, he was a sophomore and I was a senior. It broke my heart to know that nothing would happen, but even so we still became friends.

"Hey Mike." I said a little flirtatiously.

"Hey Layla. See ya on the bus." he said with a wink.

I could only smile. But I knew it meant nothing, the brass and drumline had to ride down on one of the busses together, he played the trombone.

"If everyone is done eating, lets head to the buses." Blackmer said.

Dani and I started walking towards the brass buss when Rachel and Jasmine ran up to Dani and begged her to come sit with them and not me. I didn't really care, Dani was my friend as well as theirs. I gave her the nod that said "Yeah its fine." and she ran off. But of course Annie came running up in her usually bubbly self and demanded that we ride together. Gosh I love that girl.

After and hour and a half of listening to the show on my iPod and playing "Eye Spy" with Annie, we finally arrived at Camp Kimball. It was the same old rustic looking place as I remembered. You were greeted with "Goliath" the giant rock wall in front of the girls area, the lodge (where we ate and had night activities), and the woods, which behind them laid the football field where we would spend most of our time.

When the bus came to a stop, I immediately grabbed my back pack and sprinted towards the senior cabin, Saux. When I arrived there I was greeted by Jenny and Dani, saying they picked out my bunk for me. It was in the back by the back door, I was to be on the bottom and someone else would be on top. Jenny grabbed the bed in the middle and slid it over by me so we could talk deep into the night, and Dani had to grab a bed by Maria, Rachel, Jasmine, Diana, all those people who disliked me a lot. It didn't matter how much they disliked me because I had finally made it to my senior year of band camp, nothing was going to ruin it for me.
