Happy Campers

Chapter 9 – Interested

When Spencer said we were going to have fun tonight, I think I got my hopes up a bit too much. Because what I was thinking was something totally different to what Spencer had in mind. I should have known that. It was quite obvious that she didn’t mean anything sexual, so yeah I defiantly over thought the night activities.

As it turns out, tonight we’re going to sit around a camp fire and chat. I know what your thinking ‘predictable camp activity’ right? Well that’s what I was thinking. I mean honestly why does, everyone, just assume that because we’re teenagers that we enjoy fires. 

And apparently it is also none optional. We’re all going to have to be present, it’s ridiculous. I hate the smell of smoke, it sticks to your clothes and it lingers for weeks. It’s just plain nasty making me sit by the fire.

Madison and Kyla are all for the idea, Evelyn and Katie are not bothered; they too wrapped up with talking to each other. I’m starting to feel a little bit left out now. They’ve all paired off, Madison with Kyla, Evelyn with Katie. Who does that leave me with?

Well of course there’s always Spencer, but I’m going to stick to my game plan. I believe I’ll have more of a chance when I turn 18, so that on like 3 days from now. Hopefully she’ll be more interested if I’m of a legal age. That’s what I’m hoping for anyway.

Speaking of Spencer she’s busy trying to start the fire, which by the way is proving difficult and I for one found it hilarious, which is why I’m now collecting firewood. Apparently Spencer did not approve of being laughed at, while she ‘worked’.  I don’t see why it was just me that has to collect these stinking, sticks though. I know for a fact that Kyla fell backwards for laughing; well technically Madison knocked her of her log, but she was still laughing.

I’m being singled out, I just know it. Or maybe she’s doing that ‘treat them mean, keep them keen’ thing. If she is then it’s bloody stupid, because if she’s going to get bitchy then she’ll get it back. You know while I’ve been think about all of this, never once have I thought that she may have girlfriend/boyfriend already. I’d be pleasantly surprised if she didn’t; it would make my task a lot easier.
