Camp

We never really no the impact we have on someone do we. I mean it may seem stupid but to me Taylor Swift is a person I feel I can relate to in a lot of ways. The only thing I can think of to help you understand this is in the Little Black Book with Brittany Murphy and her obsession with Carly Simon. The only difference is I’m not obsessed.

So back to Camp Gnu Summer third eldest camper, Taylor swift had recently just let out her new song our song the summer before I think. So this summer was extremely hard for me. My friends had become obsessed with the boys a year older and I was not included because I liked a guy in our year. I had a near death experience because in a water fight a latex balloon hit me and got in my mouth. My throat began to close, and my friend, Maya, rushed me down to the infirmary were I received an EpiPen for the first time ever. For someone who was scared of needles this was not a good thing. However now I am not allergic to latex anymore which makes my life a lot easier in the hospital that I am often in. At the time of this summer I was 14. This is young but I thought I was so old then because my section was in a village and not main camp, this was a huge deal! I met my consolers and sleepins and everything was fine. One of the counsellors was my sit when I was nine (Blair) and one of the sleepins was my sleepins when I was twelve (Sammy). However the other sleepin on wood had anger problems like me and was extremely pretty but just as mean. The other counsellor was in my section last year and we got along but she was forced to switch cabins because a staff member in another cabin was unable to be with little kids. So that left me in a cabin with my counsellor whose name is Blair and the girl on Wood, Sammy the other sleepin was never around. My and Blair did not get along and were always yelling at each other, I got her in trouble everyday, and the girl on wood hated me for it. I took it as a joke but at times it was hard my friends all with older boys and not talking to my staff I was pretty much alienated. I think that is what led up to it. So on visitors day along with Carly, my sister, telling me about all the stuff she has stolen and about her not eating, she asked me to deliver weed from her to guys two years older. I went with her to deliver them however never touching them. But from then on everyone in my cabin was jealous of me, I didn’t tell anyone what I did but compared to them dealing with guys only a year older everyone thought I was hooking up with they guys two years older. They are CIT’s last stage of being a camper. Blair hated me more for it and my section head gave me a talk about self respect but in all honesty I hadn’t done anything sexually with them. The attention never stopped and it got to my head. On sail trip my mother came to visit me. On sail trip my sister gave me more weed to give to them. Me and my friend Emma smoked some of it on sail trip and put the rest of it in a tiffany’s bag and brought it back to them. We pulled them out of the dining hall and handed it to them. They hugged us happily right as my counsellor came outside to yell at us to help clean up. She glared and I glared back as Emma went back in to help, I didn’t.

You could call these my dark times or whatever but this summer was so hard for me. Although my health had hit a plateau for a while, but I was still always sick and Blair picked on me. With out dealing with my sister this would have been hard enough but I was in no place to take any shit from Blair. She was not any better then me.

I went back up to there section with them which wasn’t aloud no cit was every aloud in the cit section but I didn’t care. I came back to my cabin that night high after my counsellors had left for staff-rec. It was eleven and my cabin wanted to no what I had don’t with all of them for five hour. I always told them the truth that we didn’t do anything and just talked but they never believed me. That night we decided to raid the kitchen, we got in and out no problem I had arranged everything and it had all worked out we were not caught. Until my sleepin on wood ratted us out the next morning when she saw all the stuff, apparently she had planned a program like that for us already. Then in all my anger at her for getting us especially me in trouble I told her that she is a little shit and that we are not juniors we don’t do fake raids there pathetic like you, I admit now that it was harsh but I was soo angry at her.  You see she had yelled at me the day earlier for no reason so I was ready to get her back. We had to clean up the dinning hall every day all three meals. We got dinning hall cabin of distinction. It wasn’t so bad though we got cakes from them and extra food and the cooks all loved us and we got to request meals. My sleepin on wood was so angry at this that she told the director that I was fooling around with the CIT boys, which wasn’t even true. But the funny thing was that the wood bitch got Blair in trouble because she needs to “keep more control of her campers.” It honestly couldn’t have gone better. Until my sister happened, Carly wrote on one of the cits wall “did you get the ten grams I sent up with Emma.” I’ll never know why she didn’t say my name but I was thankful. The director kicked out the boy but never even spoke to me or Emma because I was not specified even though it was my sister and Emma’s last name wasn’t written but everyone new anyway. It only made us cooler though it gave us the littler bad girl’s rep which was extremely true. We deserved it. The Camp director told my mom about Carly’s wall post even though she doesn’t go to camp but eventually my mom had found out what happened with me and Emma. It didn’t matter though all was focused on Carly and the mess she made for everyone. I never even got a punishment.
