Maura lifted her heavy bag off the ground
and slung it onto her shoulder, the weight of the bag almost knocking her over.
She could hear the other cabin girls’ giggles as they watched her struggle.
Maura shoved the laughter aside and started towards the cabin door.
As
Maura reached for the handle, Madison, one of the cabin girls who lead the
taunts, stepped between Maura and the door.
“Poor
Maura. Do you need any help with your bags, Dear?” Madison cooed, an evil smile
sliding along the corners of her face.
“Get
out of my way, Madison.” Maura grumbled. She tried to go around Madison, but
she still couldn’t get to the door.
“Well
that’s not a very nice thing to say to someone who’s trying to help you with
your bags.” Madison wore a fake expression of shock.
Maura
could feel her knees bending under the weight of the bag. She knew she wouldn’t
be able to support the bundle much longer. If only the camp director didn’t
have them carry around so many supplies when they played capture the flag.
Maura
had had enough, so she shot out an arm and forced Madison out of her way. While
Madison was checking to see if her hair had gotten messed up, Maura yanked open
the door and stormed out.
“Hey!
Where do you think you’re going, freak?” Maura could hear Madison’s taunts from
over her shoulder, but she knew that if she could just make it in sight of the
camp director, Madison would pretend to be an innocent angel again.
Maura
forced her legs to pump as she plowed her way down the opening. Just a few more feet, Maura thought.
Finally,
she could see the camp director. As soon as the director came into view, she
could hear the shushing of her other cabin girls to Madison, signaling that
they were now in hearing range of the director.
Maura
plopped down her bag and took a seat right in front of the camp director, in
front of all the other girls that attended the camp awaiting instructions.
