Summer Camp Blues

Chapter 1: Stranded

I officially hate my parents. Well I think I have a pretty good reason. The reason is plain and simple: against my own will they stranded me at summer camp while they were going to spend their whole summer in Fiji.

Now just to let you know I’m sixteen years old and am totally old enough to take care of myself, especially to go to Fiji but my parents wanted a “romantic getaway” together so they signed me up to not be a kid going to summer camp, but to be a leader at camp. A leader! That meant I had to take care of all the snotty nose little kids who were going their for the summer. Don’t get me wrong, I love little kids, but I’m not going to be taking care of little little kids, I had to take care of preteens! You see at Camp Seadon kids ages eleven to thirteen were allowed to go to camp.

Preteens act like they are so cool, like they know everything there is to the world and that they could do whatever they want because of it. Now I realize I’m being a hypocrite in say that because I myself used to be a preteen once long ago but I know I was like that once too, giving me more reason to hate them. Okay I sound too much like a pessimistic right now but I’m just pissed off about this. I think you would be too though if you were stuck here for the ENTIRE summer. That’s right, I’m stuck here starting June thirty all the way to August twenty-third which is only a couple of days until school starts back up again and what is even worse is the fact that I’m spending my birthday at camp!

Okay I should stop ranting for a while and tell you a little about me. My name’s Amber Randapali and I’m Greek with a little bit of Spanish blood...yes that is a weird combination. Born on July twenty-six I have no siblings which is odd for being Greek and Spanish because we tend to have big families but hey I’m not spoiled, oh no I’m treated the same way I would be if I had a sibling. My music collection is huge, I daydream a lot, I like to write, and at times I can be very sarcastic. There isn’t really much else to say about me because I sort of have a boring, ordinary life.

No problems with anyone whatsoever and having pretty good friends who couldn’t do anything bad if they tried didn’t help either. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t really want drama but something interesting has to happen eventually...right? No one’s life should be so boring that they want to die from said boredom. So maybe this trip is an opportunity to not be bored for a while. That means I’m going to be optimistic about this is in a way...this is the chance to meet new people, to do something interesting even though I’m still a little miffed about this whole affair.

So you understand a little bit better about what’s going on right now let me start at the beginning...

As my dad drove me to my supposed doom in his black Accord I stared out at the scenery as it blurred passed us. Everything outside was a beautiful green while the sun shone brightly in the sky and there had been a nice breeze stirring in the air. It was the perfect weather, if only I hadn’t been so pissed off about going to camp I would of enjoyed the weather better. The drive had been forty-five minutes long and all I wanted to do was stretch my legs because they were cramping up big time after staying in the car for that long. Something though caught my eye as we approached the camp.

There was a small town near the camp that I guessed the place was named after because the town’s name was Seadon. It was a cutesy little town with a lot of small shops and restaurants and I looked at all of them as we drove through the town. Hopefully they’ll let us visit the town at least one of the days because I had actually brought my wallet with me, and could shop for souvenirs to give to my friends. Sadly, as quickly as we came we left, and in the distance I already saw the camp itself. Boy was I surprised.

The camp was right next to a lake with a lot of trees and wildlife to enjoy nature. A bunch of wooden cabins were scattered around with a giant field, basketball and tennis courts. It actually looked like a nice and comforting place than I thought it would be and my spirits soared thinking things weren’t going to be as bad as I thought they would be. Driving through the sign that said Camp Seadon I saw the other parents with their cars dropping off their kids and felt a little embarrassed that I was being dropped off myself. I knew how to drive already and had my own car but my dad wanted to drive me himself here because he thought I would get lost on the way here and he was probably right.

Our car came to a complete stop as my dad killed the engine and got out of the car with me following him out, and then going to the trunk to get my stuff. Opening the trunk I pulled my backpack and big duffel bag out and plopped them on the ground next to me and sighed. My dad was staring at me with his chocolate brown eyes, trying to decipher my thoughts. My dad is the one who is Spanish with the same dark hair as mine, but his skin was olive colored while mine is whiter like my mom’s, also having the same green eyes as hers and straightness of hair while my dad’s dark hair was curly. My dad was 6'1 while I was only 5'5 with a slender built body except for the fact that my butt was bigger than most people’s and my bra size was 36B and I’m perfectly fine with that.

Finally after staring at me for what felt like forever my dad spoke quietly to me so no one else heard what we were saying.

“I know you don’t like this Amber but have fun sweetheart. Just because you’re here doesn’t mean you’re not going to have fun.”

“But why can’t I go to Fiji with you guys? I’m old enough to,” I pleaded.

“You already know why.”

“It’s still unfair,” I said. My dad frowned at that, but then suddenly grinned. I raised an eyebrow at him. His moods seemed to change faster than a girl’s did.

“If it makes you feel any better if you find any new boyfriends or summer loves it’ll make your summer go by faster,” my dad suggested laughing. I gaped at him in horror. Was he actually suggesting I get a boyfriend? When he continued to laugh I smacked him almost playfully on the shoulder.

“That’s not funny dad. Plus I doubt I’ll find anyone here,” I muttered more to myself than to him.

“Oh I’m not sure about that. You never know who’ll you’ll end up meeting here plus any guy would be lucky to be with you honey,” said my dad smiling, winking as he headed back into his car and started to drive away. I watched him go with a scowl on my face and slinging my backpack unto my shoulder and picking up the duffel was about to walk towards the administration office when out of nowhere came a guy in a black BMW, almost running me over if it wasn’t for the fact that he stomped on the brakes. Luckily he stopped his car before he hit me.

“Watch where you’re going asshole!” I yelled at driver. I couldn’t really see who it was because their windows were tinted. Before he could even do anything I walked away and continued on into the administration building. When I entered a lady with unruly hair and weird blue eyes looked up from her desk and smiled at me.

“Welcome to Camp Seadon! You must be one of the leaders!” she said getting up from her seat.

“Um yeah I’m Amber Randapali.”

“Ah your Amber. Well welcome again. Now in case you don’t know already my name’s Martha Gatsby and I’m the Camp Counselor. If you ever need anything come to me and I’ll take care of it. Now since you’re a leader you’ll be in charge of a cabin and your cabin is Grey Fox which is of course a girl’s cabin. You’ll make sure every day all the girls wake up in time for breakfast and go to bed by lights out. After breakfast everyday you’ll come here to receive your job for the day and do that job until four o’clock...so, any questions? The lady Martha asked. Blinking at her owlishly I shook my head.

“Good then your cabin is the second one on the left side and you can unpack everything there and when you’re done you can head over to the dining hall which is the biggest cabin here for dinner.”

“Thank you Mrs. Gatsby.”

“Oh the pleasures all mine but I’m not married and just call me Martha,” replied Martha chuckling.

“Okay?” I said hesitantly, leaving the building. Even though Martha was a little weird I liked her, she was straightforward about things. It didn’t take me long to reach the cabin that said Grey fox and open the screen door to the place I was going to be living in for the next couple of months. There were nine beds in all in the cabin with the biggest one I realized mine. There were trunks in front of every bed and one bathroom with a toilet, sink, and shower. The place actually looked very comfy and I was glad to be only taking care of eight kids.

I sat down on my bed which was the closest one to the bathroom and slowly unpacked my things into the trunk. When I packed my clothes I seriously brought my whole closet condensed into the duffel. I didn’t surprise me when I almost filled the whole trunk with my clothes and other belongings I had brought. The good thing was they had a laundry place here so I could clean my clothes and they wouldn’t have to be disgusting and smelly. That would of been horrible, not to mention embarrassing if I walked around camp in dirty clothes.

I laughed a little at that and closed the trunk, leaving the cabin for the dining hall. The dining hall really was the biggest thing at camp, and I walked up the steps and entered the room I was reassured of that. Millions of little table were scattered everywhere throughout the dining hall with what looked like the whole camp already there. Seeing the line for food I stepped into the line and got a tray, getting bread, carrots and chicken in a white sauce with a piece of chocolate pie included. Looking around for a place to sit I saw two people I recognized anywhere and gasped, heading over to their table where they sat alone and plopped down into a seat.

“Vanessa? Melanie?” I asked in astonishment. The two looked up and gasped.

“Amber!” they cried hugging me. I hugged them back, a huge smile on my face.

“This is such a surprise,” said Melanie in awe.

“It is,” I said.

“I never thought I would see the both of you here,” spoke Vanessa snickering.

“I know,” I said giddily. Now you must be wondering who Vanessa and Melanie are. They are two out of the other three people in my group of friends I hang out with at school. Melanie has brown hair and pretty blue eyes, and was one of the nicest people I ever met. Vanessa has long, reddish brown hair and brown hair and personality wise is a lot like me. It was a miracle these two were even here.

“How are you guys even here?” I asked in awe, speaking my thoughts.

“Well the two of us signed up to be here for college credits since this supposedly looks good for college applications,” said Vanessa.

“What about you? Why are you here Amber?” Melanie asked me curiously.

“I was forced to because my parents are going to Fiji for a romantic getaway,” I said rolling my eyes.

“Aw that sucks,” said Vanessa sympathetically.

“Yeah I know,” I said biting into my chicken. We talked for a little while until Melanie suddenly gasped.

“Look who’s here,” she whispered, pointing near the food line. Vanessa and I also gasped. The two supposed hottest guys from our school were here at camp. The first boy was Luke Wailan, the lead hottie and the guy all the girls wanted to date. He has blonde hair semi-spiked, with amazing hazel eyes and a nice toned body. His best friend who was equally hot was Will Turner who actually looked like the character William Turner in Pirates of the Carribean.

I kid you not he really looks him, and people joke about that with him all the time. Looking at Luke though, my heart sank. Luke had been the driver of the black BMW that almost ran me over. He seemed to realize that too when, as if feeling my gaze looked straight at me and our eyes locked. A smirk played onto his face and right then and there I wanted to drop dead and die.

“This is amazing how they ended up here too...” said Vanessa speechless. I didn’t say anything as I turned around and continued eating.

“Hey look they’re coming over here...I wonder why,” said Melanie excitedly. I almost choked on my food. This couldn’t be good.

“Well hello ladies you wouldn’t mind if we joined you now would you?” asked Will smiling at us, with Luke still smirking at me.

“Not at all,” said Vanessa. At that moment I really wanted to kill Vanessa. She was openly inviting the new bane of my existence to sit with us.

“So for introductions sake, my name is Luke and this is Will, and you guys are?” asked Luke. I knew that question was in some way directed towards me.

“I’m Melanie.”

“Vanessa.”

“Amber,” I muttered not looking up from my food.

“Cool. You guys are leaders also right?” asked Will.

“We are,” giggled Melanie.

“Why are you guys here at camp if you don’t mind me asking,” said Vanessa.

“I had to and since Will would be nowhere without me came with,” said Luke while Will and I rolled our eyes. I felt Luke staring at me and I didn’t like it, it was as if he was waiting for me to crack. Instead I pushed my chair out and said “well it was nice to meet you guys but I’m done eating so I’m going to leave now.” Grabbing my tray I turned around and was about to walk away when I tripped over my own chair, my tray flying in the air and me careening towards the floor. Before I even hit the floor I was grabbed by the waist and spun around. My green eyes met Luke’s hazel ones.

“So I’m an asshole huh?” whispered Luke so only I could hear and smirked. I groaned. This was going to be a long summer.
