20 June Camp Pineland
I don't know how my first two weeks at camp have flown by so quickly.
Now I am absolutely sure that to go to this camp was the best decision I have ever made.
Our days are packed with fun activities that are all different.
I can't say that I'm the most popular girl in the camp but I've got to know quite a lot of people and Mary and I are becoming close. Cindy and Hailey are also all right when Belle is not around. Belle rules our cabin. When she laughs, the other girls laugh with her. And when she is unhappy with something, my cabinmates gather round her and ask her what's wrong and try to make her feel better. At first
thought Belle was a show off and a pain in the neck, but now I really don't think so. You have to be a really amazing person for everybody to like you so much. And Belle is amazing. The only thing is: she doesn't want to be friends with me. It's probably because of David, whom she really likes, although Belle is not his girlfriend. Nobody is. When I casually chatted with David on our flight to California,
little did I know that I was enjoying the David, the famous heart-throb of Camp Pineland. When I realised who he was, I felt angry with myself, because I too had started to like him and though we might go out, I was mad to think so. David is too cool to go out with me. Anyway I didn't need his attention, so I decided not to talk to him. He didn't seem to care, and all was fine until we found ourselves in the same club.
The clubs and how to select them are a very important part of life in Camp Pineland. There was a real battle to get into the popular ones. We were given forms to fill in. In these forms we had to tick which clubs we wanted and then we were informed whether we got what we chose. Nature is by far the most interesting club. It is also the most difficult club to get into. At first I didn't understand why all campers wrote down Nature Club as their first choice. Were all the campers interested in flowers and trees? I was lucky to have Mary nearby. "Don't be silly! Choose Nature!" she whispered to me. "People wait forever to get into that club. You may get it because you are new." So I ticked Nature and Newspaper. Newspaper was actually my first choice.
When I got my form back, I saw that I was given Drama, the least popular club, and Nature, probably to make up for Drama. I sighed with disappointment and my bunkmates asked me what I got. When I told them, Cindy got excited. "I got Newspaper and Native American Art," she said. "So we can swap if you want." I opened my mouth to agree, but Mary dragged me aside.
"What are you doing?" she asked. "The main thing about Nature Club is that its members go hiking. And it isn't just a one-day picnic — it's a cool four-day adventure in the Yosemite wilderness, one of the most beautiful national parks in the world. Nature Club includes a lot of activities: horse riding, swimming, Native American history and even newspaper. It is the highlight of the whole camping season. Don't give it away! Besides, I got Nature Club too, so we can be in it together," she said.
So I agreed to be a part of the Nature Club and went to the first club meeting. I was delighted to see my brother Dima there. There were also a few other people I knew: Daniel from Australia, Claudia from Italy and Lukas from Germany. The counsellor was about to start the meeting when the door opened again and David and Belle entered the room and greeted everybody with their famous million-dollar smiles.
