Miranda's photo

"Mum please!" I practically screamed for like the 50th time in 10minutes. "I have told you dear no besides , you dont even like summer camp I wonder whats making you so keen on going to this particular one" mum said making me frown.

I am Miranda Ryder , blue eyes, long straight blonde hair, petite frame and a lot of curves to go with it,16 years of age and only child to an average family. My mum is an intetior designer and my dad owns three restaurants in new york city where we live.

"Honey just let her go" my dad chipped in. I didn't even realise he was listening since his head had been buried in the newspaper he was reading."besides it would definately give us some alone time"he continued winking.

Okay eeeew! The last image I need right now is that of my parents getting all kinky on the couch!.

" dad's right," I say smiling and my mum rolls her eyes " plus I really need to get out of your face more often. I bother you way too much it should be a crime". " fine" mum sighs "how long is it again?".

I jump in excitement and give her a quick hug "just a month mum.Thanks a lot I love you guys" I say giving my dad a huge smile and darting up the stairs to my room.

My room is an average teen girl room...well not exactly. Being the only child, I got showered with lots of love and attention and a really cute room. The walls were purple with posters and pictures filling every available space, my mum being an intetior designer made sure it was beautiful, the floor was covered in a poka dotted purple rug that made your feet sink in, a reading table bookshelves and every other thing you find in a teen room but the best part was the walk-in closet which had all my clothings arranged in a unique order courtsey of my mum.

She was such a clean freak. Enough of my room. I dash into my bathroom and get out my purple and silver suitcase.

By now you would have concluded that I am either really obsessed with the colour purple or I have serious issues with other colours.

I had to do a major quick packing I had been bugging my mum for a week to let me go on this summer camp trip and she being overly overprotective had refused everytime I brought it up.

Normally I wouldnt have bothered about it since I am not really the social type but kids in my school have been on about it and how cool it's gonna be, I got a little bit tempted. Yeah a little bit? Keep telling yourself that.

I am at a loss for what to pack at this point so bring out my cell phone and text my best friend Mireal.

Most friendship start on a very good note of the two parties introducing themselves and getting to know each other better but ours was different. I was in the girls bathroom crying my eyes out on my first day at Lord's high freshman year because I was really nervous about being around new people. Then enters Mireal giving me this weird look. I overly ignore the cute red head and continue sobbing.

"Hey what's wrong? why are you crying?" she said. I am too busy trynna dry up my ever flowing tears to even bother to answer. And then she slapped me HARD!!. " what the hell?! " I screeched between sobs and she just smiled." I am Mireal nice to meet you too and would you puhlease stop crying cos you look really pathetic ". I dont say anything and my tears instantly stop as I look at this red head quite bewildered by her behaviour. She helped me up and gave me the best smile I had ever seen" dont worry i"ll be your best friend " and we still were.

Manda : Emergency!!

She replies almost immediately

Millie : what is it at this odd hour?? :(..i am very busy stalking my crush on instagram and by the way he has 2057 followers already

I roll my eyes at this. Mireal is bat shit crazy for this Jake guy in our homeroom at school. I honestly dont find him all that cute but I lld never tell her that though.

Manda : mum said yes and I am trying to pack

Millie : she said yes??! OMG!! thats sooooo cool

Manda : yeah yeah just tell me what to pack

Millie : just basics...free clothes, sweaters, shorts cos I hear its gonna be really hot at some point but mostly cold.

As I read this I am already neatly arranging everything in my suitcase

Millie : three party dresses..no heels whatsoever okay maybe just a pair but strictly flats nd converse shoes of course - -)..pack lots of make up too and accesories kay?

Manda : what are we going for? A runway contest??

I strongly believe she's rolling her eyes at that

Millie : excuse me but you my friend are a disgrace to the fashion world despite your wonderful wardrobe..i need to keep you in check

Bitch

Manda : thanks for succeding in hurting my non exsistent heart, I ll see you tommorow and just so you lld know your fashion advice is really horrible

Millie : you lld still take it anyway

With that I finish up my packing which ended up being two suitcases and double checked to make sure everything was okay. I smile cos I know its a job well done if I do say so myself. I set my alarm to 7.30am and hit my king sized bed excited for my big day tommorow.

________________________________

"brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhh"

Startled I roll out of bed hitting the soft rug of my room. "ouch!" I cry out as I make my way back to my comfy bed.

"yunno with the way you bugged me through out this week I expected you to be up very early today" I heard a voice say. Wait was my alarm clock talking to me?. I chose to ignore.

" Get out of that bed missie! " this time I hit the floor not so gracefully and it really hurt. I happen to have a mutual relationship with the ground. I forcefully open one eye to see my mum hovering over me a hand on her hip and boy she was not smiling.

"Good morning mum" I manage a smile. "if you dont get your butt into that shower right now you ll be late for school" she deadpaned. "breakfast in 10" she said after a minute then walked out of my room.

I hurriedly took cold shower brushed and changed into one of my favourite blue dress shirt with a blazer and skinnies. I let my hair fall as usual, applied a layer of mascara and lip gloss, picked up my bag pack while sliping on my blue and black converse. When I was sure I had everything, I grabbed my suitcases and ran downstairs almost tripping at the last step.

I meet my parents at the breakfast table. My dad newspaper in hand and sipping coffee while my mum was muching on a sandwich.

"sleeping beauty is finally up" dad said eyes still on paper."morning dad" I say dropping my things and heading to take a glass of orange juice and a sandwich.

Someone really needs to get him to stop reading that everytime its getting really annoying.

As if on cue mum sighs "honey would you not do that at the table it is really not ideal" there goes mum and her clean freak attitude. Dad drops the paper.

Aha!

I smile inwardly. "so dad, mum what would you guys be doing when I am away, I mean I ll be gone a full month" I say while chewing and mum gives me a glare.

"I guess we would be working on making another baby" he says and sips his coffee.

I choke.

"Gerald!!" mum sheirks blushing and passes me a glass of water while dad continues laughing. "come on Mary its true" he chips in.

"yes its quite obvious but you dont have to say it in front of our little girl" I nod and mum is still blushing which just makes the situation really really embarrassing.

"sweetheart she is not a little girl anymore I am sure she does classes in school that talks about stuffs like that" he said. "and for all we know she might have already been *cough* *cough*"

is he fucking kidding me right now??.

Its my turn to blush red as I mutter a quick no way and run out to meet Mireal who just pulled in leaving behind my laughing dad and scowling mum.

I had the perfect family.

" Hey why did you run out of your house like that? " Mireal asked raising an eyebrow at me while I loaded my things into her car.

"trust me you dont wanna know" I say as I take a sit beside her and she drives off to school.

"Okay so jake totally followed me back on IG very early this morning " she squealed.

Oh great I can totally feel how excited you are.

" millie he just followed you back I dont think thats even equivalent to lets be friends "I deadpan. She really needs to stop living in her fairytale world.

She snorts and not so gracefully either " at least its a start". "who knows we might be making out next week".

I groan and she laughs. I am really starting to wonder why we are even friends, we are so different from each other.

Well unlike charges attracts so says the law of God knows what.

My phone buzzes we are almost at school. I check and see its a text.

Pete : Hey beautiful

I groan and shoot Mireal a look. She gets the hint and starts giggling.

Mireal started chatting with this guy on my facebook account as I had abandoned it due to my high ranking anti social skills and blindly accepted to dating him.

I mean who the fuck does that! He was at the other side of the country and they would never get to meet.

When she told me about it I obviously threw a tantrum swearing not to participate in her game. But she begged me and I gave in after she gave me a long motivational speech on how this would help my relationships in the nearest future. Well that and because he was kinda cute and really sweet ok I did not just say that. But lately he was getting on my nerves

We pull over at the school's parking lot and get out of the car taking our bags with us. Some students murmmured their greetings as we walked past them to where the school buses were lined up.

" As we all know this trip is for only the juniors (11th graders) and I would love to make sure you guys understand the rules guiding this trip" a teacher was addressing us.

" just get to it man we dont have all day" a student yelled and everyone laughed

He continued talking explaining our seating arrangements and other things I found irrelevant. When he was done we all proceeded to follow his instructions

We walked towards the bus assigned to us when Mireal suddenly stopped causing me to almost trip and make out with the ground. I shoot her a glare but she doesn't notice as she's pointing to something

No wait someone. Jake perkins

I roll my eyes and keep moving

She stops me again "do you not see that I get to sit with him"

" Geeez I am not that blind mireal" I say as we finally line up behind Jake. She was being jittery making me frown.

Before we got in the bus she poked me still grinning widely

Should I be worried about this girl??

We were sitted and its a three seater. I move to the sit beside the window to give them enough room for their dirty job and she looks all too happy.

My phone buzzes again and I take a look

Pete : babe are you ignoring me? :(

Okay this has got to stop

I poke Mireal slightly " I am ending this fake online dating thing with pete"

" yeah sure thats cool" she says bearly paying any attention to me because of a certain someone

Manda : No not really..was just busy

Pete : kay
Pete : how are you doing

My best friend is ignoring me because of a guy so no I am not doing fine at all

Manda : am okay
Manda : listen you are a really nice guy, any girl would love to have you but lets just face it right now we are pretty much deceiving ourselves

Pete : what do you mean by that
Pete : why do I feel like there's a break up comming on...babe please dont
Pete : I love you

Touché

Manda : I wish I could say the same though

Pete : did I do something wrong
Pete : I promise it wont happen again
Pete : please babe

I sigh and roll my eyes. Too bad I really didn't like him that way

Manda : am sorry, its over always was anyway

Pete : you have made up your mind already then?

Duh!! Obviously

Manda : yes I have
Manda : we could be friends though

Okay please tell me I didn't just type that.

Maybe its because you secretly like him Oh shut the fuck up conscience I do not yeah keep telling yourself that

Pete : I would love to I cant forget you that easily
Pete : I love you

Sorry lover boy you have been loving the wrong person all this while.

I feel bad about this though but I just really had to do this. Anyway that aside I glance at Jake and millie it seems like they are making progress. I plug in my ear phones ready to block out the rest of the world. I suddenly have a good feeling about this camp

SUMMER CAMP here I come
