Mom, do I really HAVE to go to camp?

Sweetie, There’s nothing wrong with camp! Besides, you need to do more this summer than just call your friends and watch tv all day!

                 Later…

*grumble* how am I even supposed to make new friends here?

Okay, I guess this is my cabin… it’s the same number on the paper the lady gave me, so yeah… *sigh* here goes…

              Inside the cabin…

        *In her head*

Hmm, it’s actually pretty nice in here… wow!

Oh, hi! You must be new here! I’m your camp counselor, Trina! Come with me, and I’ll show you your room!

Hi, I’m Anna. Oh ok, thanks!

So, there’s 4 girls per room! Your bed is right here, and you can pick top or bottom bunk; you’re the first one here! Your bunk mates should be here pretty soon! Also, you can put your stuff on top of your bed! I’ll be in my bed if you need me!

K! Thanks.

          *In her head*

Ooh, I want the top bunk!

Hey, Trina, can I go outside real quick?

Sure! Just stay on camp grounds. Everyone except the people in your room are here, and when they are, we have to get changed into bathing suits and go to the lake for swim lessons!

       K! Thanks! 

             *Sigh*

It’s really pretty here

Soon after Anna came back inside, the other girls arrived, so they all got changed into their bathing suits and left for the lake soon after…

                   At the lake…

     *Trina talking*

Ok, everyone, hop into the water, and… swim! If you don’t know how to swim, come see me!

            *In her head*

Wow, the water’s so pretty!

*Grab!*

        ?!

             *In her head*

Okay, time to swim back up. I bet I passed the swim test!

AHHHH!!! HELP MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

               to be continued…

                      (on next page)

Anna, are you okay?!

*cough cough* Yeah, I think so… 

What happened?

I…I don’t know… I think something pulled me down underwater…  

                         …

Lets get you back to the cabin…

           Later, at the cabin…

That’s great! But about something pulling you down underwater… I think that was your imagination… maybe your foot got stuck on some seaweed, and you thought it was pulling you down?

I’m feeling better now.

Trina, what’s the next activity?

It’s hiking, but Anna, I don’t think you should come. You should stay here and rest. 

Yeah, probably just my imagination…
