The Day of Deception (Episode 3 of Camp Summer)

Dear diary, It’s 5:30 AM and I’m awake. So far every morning, without fail the birds and the sunshine wake me up. There’s no falling back to sleep after that. It’s so stuffy in the cabins, I don’t know how Aisha sleep in here. Miss Madison is already awake.

I don’t know why she gets up this early! Today is the 4th of July and I’m really excited. I want to tell you something, diary, I can’t talk to anyone else about it. This is a really big secret, you have to promise not to tell anyone. It started like this:

I was at the pool. That’s one of the few things I like about camp. It is a beautiful aqua color it’s not dirty and it’s brand new. The sun was shining. That’s when I saw him.

 He’s a CIT a.k.a counselor-in-training and he’s 14. I don’t know much else about him, other than the fact that he’s a lifeguard every Tuesday and Thursday from one to three P.M. I think his name is Josh? I’m not sure though.

 I wonder if he even know I like him. I have a huge crush and if anyone found out I’d be totally embarrassed. So far I’m willing to stay at camp as long as the boy and the pool stay.

Oh-no Aisha is waking up. I need to get ready, so I will look perfect for the Fourth!      Yours truly, Novia

Aisha’s POV

(These next to pictures have horrible quality. Sorry!)

The day was beautiful! I couldn’t wait for the Fourth of July. I had never had that much because celebration at any of the foster homes I had been to. I got dressed quickly and fishtailed my hair.

Yesterday, my new foster mom called me and said that Josh was here at camp. I don’t know how she knows who Josh even is. Maybe she isn’t so bad after all, unless the agency set it up. They’d do something like that. I really want to see him today. I can’t wait!

Novia’s POV

Diary- I am so mad right now! How did she find out? I wish we weren’t in the same cabin. She’s getting the silent treatment. They played all these boring games earlier and then we had a giant cook-out for dinner. After that there were more games and then we went to watch fireworks and that’s when it happened.

I saw Ashia go up to Josh. She ran up and hugged him!

Then they laughed and talked like old friends.

After the fireworks, she got up and walked back to our cabin like nothing had happened.

 I got back to the cabin and it looked like my diary had been tampered with! 

Signed frustrated, Novia

Aisha’s POV

I didn’t take her stupid diary! Ugh! Just because I’m a foster kid I get blamed for everything. It’s not like I’ve ever broken the law. That night I cried myself to sleep. I had so much fun until after the fireworks. What had I done wrong?

Later….. Novia’s POV

Diary-

I know how to get back at Aisha. I’ll prank her. I’ve pranked my brother so many times! It’s so easy. Maybe this will teach her not to intrude my privacy.

Novia

What did you think? Comment below. Yes, Nikki is back. She’s been back for a while but I haven’t posted a review on her yet. Sorry! Look for more posts soon.

Camp Summer or Camp Bummer? Episode 2 of Camp Summer

I hope you like part 2! Have a happy 4th of July!!! Also just to note this. I am having trouble with inside lighting so some of the inside pictures may not have great quality.

If you haven’t read my photo series before, then let me make it clear that italic things are thoughts and POV means Point of View/ whose telling that part of the story. As always I hope  you like it and feel free to comment what you think:)

——————————————————————————————————————–

Ashia’s POV

“Hello! Welcome to Camp Summer! My name is Madison. You must be Ashia!” a kind woman chirped.

” Oh,” I said in surprise,”How did you know my name?”

“I know all our campers and it just so happens you’re in my cabin,” she replied.

“Cool,” I said.

“Here’s your packet of information. You may wait here and once the rest of the girls arrive, I’m going to give a tour of the camp,” Miss Madison said before going over to help another camper.

The month of May and of June were over. It was July 1st camp had started. Once I was on my way to camp it didn’t seem so bad. In fact I was excited. I just didn’t want to think about the 24th, when I had to meet my new FF(Foster Family). I vowed that while I was here, at camp, I would have fun and not think about my FF.

 Novia’s POV

When I checked in at camp, it was as dilapidated as I thought it would be. Great! Why would my brother abandon me, at some random camp, in the middle of noweresville. May and June had gone by so fast and now I was here. *Sigh*

“Hello, I’m Madison welcome to camp. You must be Novia,” a women announced.

“Hi,” I replied, trying to shift my bags so I could shake her hand.

“Put your bags right here, we’ll get them later.” she said noticing my predicament.

“In the dirt?!” I screamed.

“They’ll be fine!” she said grinning.

“Did anyone drop you off?”

“Yes, my brother did and here are my forms.” I stated.

“It looks like we’re all settled. It’s time for our tour,” Miss Madison replied.

Ashia’s POV

Finally it was time for the tour. They gave us a manilla envelope full of stuff we would need for camp, I opened mine.

Inside there was a sketch book, stickers, an ID for camp, a card to the camp library, tickets for food, bracelet, and mine also had a bus pass to get to my new FF house.

“Girls, now that you know what is in you envelopes let me show you your way around. Also note there are other groups taking tours, so please be respectful of them. Thank you!”

Novia’s POV

(Her thoughts on the tour)

The mess haul/craft shack/ THE ONLY PLACE WITH RUNNING WATER!!

The horse pasture and stables. ( If only they had a prettier horse. Then maybe I’d consider riding.)

The athletic field. ( Ok, but I hate grassy, buggy places)

The lake. ( Gross and full of leaches probably)

THIS IS OUR CABIN? Kill me now. Hopefully the inside is better than out here. I doubt it.

(Sorry for the bad quality of this photo)

“Am I really going to be living here for almost a month?!” I thought.

“How will I fit all my stuff into this rickety closet?” I wondered.

Miss Madison’s side of the room. This is wrong! Why does she get so much room?!

And I thought that was unfair! Get this, we’re only allowed to have electronics two days a week for an hour each. *MAD FACE*

*Sighs* I really wanted to cry. Could I do this?

——————————————————————————————————————–Thanks for reading:)

Camp Summer Premiere!!!

I hope you guys like the premiere! I  finally spent some time working on it. This series is going to be so fun to make. I edited every picture! It was a lot of extra work 😛 I only added my name that’s it. BTW, everything that is a thought or narration is italicized.

________________________________________________________________________

Novia’s POV

I was going to be late for school AGAIN. Who wants to be late in may? That was when everything is happening. School is winding down, pranks are being played, and finals were over.

“Jake, JAKE, we’re going to be late!” I yelled to my older brother.

“Ok, ok Novie calm down!” he said.

“Well, sorry, but I don’t want to miss anything in my very exciting life!” I shot back, “and stop calling me Novie, Novia is wayyy more sophisticated.”

“I’m done packing my lunch lets….” he started

“WHAT ARE  YOU WEARING??!” I burst out.

“I was wondering when you’d notice,” he replied with a smile, ” It is pretty cold, I mean 65 degrees and raining isn’t exactly beautiful, especially in Dallas.”

“But a sweatshirt, of a Pennsylvania football team? How cheesy!”

We continued bantering, but seriously, we were just joking. After my mom died, Dad started working a lot more. Without my brother, Jake I don’t know what I would have done. He is my best friend. I brushed this sentimental thought out of my mind and we headed to school.

Ashia’s POV

I sat outside the foster home, looking at the letter. The news was still setting in. I re-read the letter.

Dear Mrs. Conroy,

I am withdrawing my custody over Ashia.

——————————————————————

Ash  Ashia, This is the best thing for you. I’m super busy. Love you, maybe when thing are better we can work something out.- Dad Ray

Novia’s POV

The mail wasn’t much, just a magazine and a letter. Something caught my eye. It was a letter advertising a camp called “Camp Summer.” I went to chuck it. I would be spending my whole summer having fun with my brother, at the beach or pool.

“Wait, what’s that,” Jake asked.

“Just some silly brochure for a camp,” I retorted.

“You should go Novie!”

“WHY?! I’ll be with you all summer? ” I questioned.

“Maybe I should tell you,” he replied.

“Tell me what?” I said panic rising in my voice.

“I’m not going to be with you this summer I’m going to OSU, to take pre-collage classes.”

“What? Where is OSU? Why didn’t you ask me first? You don’t you care about me do you?!” I said in a furry.

 I ran to my room. Why would my brother leave me?! It was too soon. I was already dreading him going to college in two years. I let the tears stream down my face. What a rotten brother I had. I knew that wasn’t the truth, but I was angry no matter what he said.

Ashia’s POV

“Oh, Ashia, I’m so glad I bumped into you. I would like to inform you that you’ll be staying with a new foster family in a few weeks.” Mrs. Conroy announced

“Excuse me?” I asked

“Well, I thought this was what’s best for you.”

“NO, I just want to go home to my dad. Why can’t you send me back to him?” I whined.

“You already know the answer to that Aisha. After camp the family will come and pick you up.”

“What camp?” I asked, confused.

“Silly me! How could I forget?  You’ve been given a special privilege to attend a Camp Summer.”

Look for the next part soon!!!

Worst Enemy, Best Friend Finale PART 2

The final finale!!! Thank you so much for all your patience, with me taking such a long time with this series. It was so fun to make. When I started I had no idea that  this many people would read this and enjoy it 🙂 I hope you LOVE the conclusion to Worst Enemy Best Friend!

——————————————————————————————————————

Jasmine’s POV

“HELP! Where are you Dakota? Why did you make me fall into this pit?!”

Dakota was also stuck in some thorns, too. “What happened?” she asked.

“Uhhh, I tripped you and we fell into a pit of thorns, in which we can’t get out and no one knows we’re here. We’re gonna die!!!!”

“Don’t be so over-dramatic, we’re out,” she said rolling her eyes.

“Ouch! I can’t walk,” I wailed.

“What happened to you?” she asked.

“My arm is definitely broken, my skin is cut on my face and my arms. HOW WILL I LIVE?!”

*Dramatic sigh* “You’ll be fine,” She announced.

At the wedding place…

“Where have you been?!” asked Amber

“In the woods,” I replied, “My arm is broken.”

“We’re going to have to cancel the wedding and take you to the hospital!” Amber announced angrily.

Everything after that was a daze, going to the hospital, the lights, me getting a concussion and throwing-up, IN PUBLIC! I literally died….. Ok not literally.

After we went to the hospital turns out Dakota was fine. I had a lot of bruises, a broken arm, and a concussion; serves me right for acting like a brat. I ruined Mom’s wedding and now I had so explaining to do……

“You made us miss our wedding! What happened?” Amber asked.

I was about to lie, when Dakota said suddenly, “It’s all my fault, I was goofing off and I tripped.”

Then I had a change of heart.

“No,” I said, I’m not letting you take the blame. I was going to trip Dakota, so that she’d ruined her outfit and the wedding would be canceled. I’m so self-centered, I ruined everything! How can you ever forgive me?”

“I forgive you. We all make mistakes. They help us change,” Dakota said casually.

I found this girl who had integrity, I could learn a lot from her.

“Can we start over?” I asked, shy, for once in my life.

“Sure, My name’s Dakota what is yours?”

“Jasmine,” I replied.

“Jasmine, I think we’re going to be great friends!”

The end 😛 Tell me what you think in the comments!

Worst Enemy, Best Friend Finale PART 1

Ok, ok so the final had two parts. Sorry, but if I made it into one part it would be super long. So, for your sake and for a sort little cliffhanger, I split it into two parts. One more thing before you read it. I made a sub-page so you can read all the parts if you just found this series, check that out here. Now after a super long intro I present Worst Enemy, Best Friend finale part 1.

——————————————————————————————————————–

Dakota’s POV

I yawned. My bed was warm. I wanted to stay under the cuddly, covers and sleep. Then it hit me. Today was the wedding!

I couldn’t believe my dad’s wedding is today! I was excited but nervous. Would my Mom be replaced? How could I stand my soon to be step sister! I could smell my dad’s chocolate pancakes and so I hurried downstairs.

An hour later…..

“Okay, girls now that we’re awake and we’ve eaten let’s get started,” Amber announced.

First we did make-up and hair. It was a lot of fun even though I don’t normally wear make up.

Amber went to get our outfits. Jasmine had refused to wear matching outfits but they were quite similar. I didn’t mind.

After that we had Amber do our hair. I kept mine down while Jasmines pulled her’s back.

“Isn’t it time for you to put on your dress?” I asked

“Yes, it takes forty-five minuets, though. So go entertain yourselves,” she replied.

“Can we take a walk?” asked Jasmine.

“Sure, just be careful not to ruin your clothes,” she warned as we skipped outside.

We walked out into the crisp sunshine. Even with the strangely warm weather, the snow was not all melted.

“Let’s go explore that thicket,” Jasmine announced.

She seemed to be acting weird but I reluctantly followed.

The thicket was anything but thick it was just some strangely thorny bushes. On the one side there was a hill and if you fell off that you would tumble into the dirty thorny thicket.

I was studying this weird  landscape when I heard Jasmine yell,” Come over here!”

She was at the top of the hill.

I ran to her. At the top, the sun glared in my eyes. All of a sudden I heard a scream, then everything was fuzzy.

——————————————————————————————————————–

This is the shorter part with more pictures then writing. Look for part two soon. Who knows when it will be uploaded. I hope you liked it!

Worst Enemy, Best Friend PART 5

Only this episode and then the finale!!! Now here is part 5.

——————————————————————————————————————–

Jasmine’s house (Dakota’s POV)

“Ok, girls,” Dad and Amber announced, “we have something very important to tell you. It might change-up a few things but… we are getting married!

“what?!” we yelled at the same time. ” Yes, in three months, on Valentine’s day.” they replied.

Jasmine ran to her room screaming. Dad and I left to give them some space, while Amber went to find Jasmine.

(Jasmine’s POV)

“Jasmine?” Mom asked.

I sobbed into my pillow refusing to talk to my horrible mother.

“John and Dakota went home so you can come out now.” she said grimly.

“Good and,” I replied, “I NEVER WANT TO SEE THEM AGAIN. Don’t you dare marry him!”

“I know your upset, but why?” Mom questioned calmly.

” Dakota is perfect, she doesn’t suffer from a death of her Mom, they have a fake, wonderful life!”

I was so mad I took the ring off of moms finger and flung it across the room.

And that was the end of that!

 

Dakota’s Room (her POV)

Dad is getting married! This can’t be happening!

I have to write about this, it’s so confusing! Why so soon after Mom’s death?

Dear Mom,

How do you feel about Dad getting married? Well, he is. I don’t blame him. She’s nice and all but she can’t replace you. Her daughter must be going through a lot. No one is mean without a reason. For Dad’s sake I’ll try to accept it.

Miss you mom, Dakota

 

Amber’s house (Also Jasmine’s) The next day(still Dakota’s POV)

The cupcakes are done.

“Great,” Amber exclaimed, “I thought you might want to look through some wedding dresses with me. This is like a bachelorette party!”

“Except Jasmines not here.”

“Yes, she had a party to go to but I still thought we should get together and hang out while John is away,” She responded.

“These are delicious!” I exclaimed.

“My grandmas secret recipe,” she said

“Hey! Your left-handed?”

“Yes,” she replied

“Same!”

“We have a lot in common,” Amber said.

“Like what?”

“Well… we like baking, sewing, we’re left-handed, we think your father makes horrible puns, and, she paused, our moms both died when we were young. I know what you’re going through so if you ever want to talk.” she mentioned cautiously.

“Did it get better with time?”

“You mean her being gone?” She said understandingly.

“Yes.”

“They all said it would, and eventually it did, but a lot of time went by first,” Amber commented.

“Jasmine hasn’t gotten over it yet, had she?”

“She is going through a lot,” Amber commented,” She just misses her dad and thinks it’s to soon after his death for me to get married.”

“I feel the same way, but that might be changing. I thought my dad was a lunatic but now I see that he just loves you, and ya know what?” I added.

“what,” she asked seeming utterly confused.

“I might just like too! Friends?”

“How about family?” she responded.

“I like that!”

_____________________________________________________________________

BTW, I am really bad with using quotes right! Just warning you:)

Worst Enemy, Best Friend PART 4

I hope you like part four! Thanks to everyone who had suggestions for ways to improve the series! For this part it will mostly be in Jasmines POV. Unless otherwise noted. Also, some of these pictures I took at night to make to look more night like. So some may be darker or with the flash. Keep checking back!

                     Dakota’s House

“Bye Girls! We’ll be back by 9:00!”, John announced.

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

“Ok”, Dakota said reluctantly.

I couldn’t believe mom was making me stay home alone!

She knows how much I hate it.

I mounted the steps my mission find Dakota’s room

She must have something embarrassing!

I entered her room.

AHA! A diary.

I grabbed it and ran out. I went to descend the steps when my phone beeped. Sophie.

 Sophie: Hey! I’m having an epic party. Come over now.

Jasmine: KK. One sec.

                      Sophie’s house 

Music blared. People danced. Glasses clinked.

“Sophie, great party!” I announced.

“It so awesome, right?” she called over the loud music.

“Yes! I just have to be home by 8:40”, I told her sadly.

                       Italia’s restaurant 

“it’s so nice of you bring me here”, Amber said,”Where we had our first date!”

John cleared his throat, “There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you……”

“Will you marry me?”

——————————————————————————————————————–

I love cliffhangers:) I’m not sure how long until this series is over but it will only have one season. Bye!!!!

Worst Enemy, Best friend Part 3

Part three is here! I have been spending all my time with my blog on this series. But I am working on something other than a part in the series;p

I also made a poster finally!!!

YAY! Thanks DOLLDIYs for the help with the posters. Enjoy 🙂

————————————————————————————————

“Bailey it’s time to leave.”

“I’m not going Mom, you can’t force me.”

” Bye!”

” Wait! You know I can’t stand being home alone.”

” Well, I guess you’ll have to come.”

(Sighs) ” Fine! Let me get changed. ”

                    At Dakota’s house

“Hi Daddy! Who is coming over?”, I asked excitedly.

“Well I’ve been doing online dating and we moved here to be closer to Amber, my girlfriend.”

” Oh, so she’s coming over?” I said disappointed.

Doorbell Rings

“That would be them.”

“I’ll be right back. I need to get something from my room.”

“Hi Mr…..”, I stuttered.

“Call me John. You must be Jasmine. Your mother has told me so much about you “, he babbled.

“Oh, that’s nice “, I nodded. Looking for an escape I casually asked, ” Where’s the bathroom? ”

I walked down the steps and stepped to the dinning room.

“Hi, I’m Dakota. It’s nice to meet you Ms. Amber “, I commented.

“You can call me just Amber “, she replied warmly.

Suddenly the door creaked open.

I gasped.

” Hi Dakota!”, Jasmine exclaimed.

I could tell she was faking. “Oh, Hi Jasmine!”, I responded playing along.

“Why don’t you two catch up while John and I talk “, Amber suggested. obviously oblivious to our silence.

I took a deep breath and counted to ten. This would be a long night.

Dear Diary, It was horrible! Jasmine was giving me dirty look the whole time. If I tell dad though his hopes will be crushed. He loves Amber.  

Love Frustrated,

Dakota

(Sighs) “What will I do?”

————————————————————————————————

Thanks for reading! Sorry the last picture is randomly edited:)

Worst Enemy, Best Friend Part 2

Read part one here. That’s all I have to say:) Also if you have any suggestions on how I can improve my series or post request comment telling me!

————————————————————————————————

My alarm went off at 5:45 AM like always. Groaning I stumbled out of bed to get ready.

I dressed quickly. Then, I headed downstairs.

” Morning Mom. Did you just wake up?”

“Something like that”, she replied, “Have good day at school.”

I grabbed my lunch box and headed to school.

I sighed thinking about my C- chemistry homework. I reached Albany Middle school.

There was miss perfect new girl. Getting her books and A+ homework. Her life seemed perfect. She had it all together. I was so envious.

I found Sophie and we went to say ‘hi’ to Dakota.

“Hey!”

Startling her she dropped a few books.

“Your such a clutz always falling and dropping things”, I remarked.

I left her and headed with Sophie to class.

On the way home my guilt caught up with me. Why was I so mean? When did I change? I entered our house.

I dashed up to my room. In the haul, I collided with my mom. She was dressed in a mini skirt and had on make-up.

“Where are we going?”, I questioned.

” Don’t you remember were going to my boyfriend’s house? He just moved here with his daughter from Tallahassee. She goes to your school.”

“DAKOTA?!”, panic rose up inside of me.

” I think that’s her name”, my mom replied calmly.
“Your boyfriend is Dakota’s father?! Are you kidding me?!!!!!!”

In a mad rush I stormed into my room.

Meanwhile……..

Hmm. What is 4 squared? 16. More gummy bears!!! Dakota sat at her desk finishing homework when her phone beeped. She had a text.

Dad: hi Dakota:? Dad: we r having company tonight Dakota: KK Dad:  Please change into something nice. Also can u clean up a little Dakota: Okay

Well, I guess this homework will have to wait.

————————————————————————————————

That’s all folks! 🙂

P.s. Here is a new poll.
