CHAPTER 1

It was burst-out-of-my-seat exciting to enter the gates of Camp Soho. The slow drive to the parking lot seemed eternally long, way too long to keep me contained. The moment we pulled up, I was out that door.

Remember what we told you, Mom started, for the hundredth time. You need to be careful, keep on your toes, and remember the rules.

The project doesn’t stop just because you’re at summer camp, Dad added.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and just nodded instead. "I remember the rules, and the project, and everything you’ve already lectured me about. I’ll be fine."

Mom and Dad both enveloped me in a hug. I couldn’t believe how worried they were about leaving me. It was my first time away from them, but still, I was sixteen years old – they had to let go eventually.

I’m seriously going to be okay, I tried to reassure them again. And I have a tracker in my shoulder. If I get lost, you’ll find me. You can’t get rid of me that easily.

They gave me one last sad look before climbing into the car again. I made myself stand there and wave them off, despite how much I was dying to find my cabin.

The second they were out of sight, I was on my way. According to the map the counselor gave me, my new home for the next four weeks was the third cabin on the right. I practically ran there.

My best friend Lola was already sitting on her bunk inside. I threw my bag on the bed nearest her’s and plunked down on the mattress. This is awesome.

It’s just camp, Lola replied with her usual disinterest. Even though she was playing it down, I knew she had to be excited about the next four weeks. Who wouldn’t be excited about being away from home and in the great outdoors?

But it’s camp with no parents.

I earned a smile for my comment. Are you on a sugar rush or something? It really is just camp.

It wasn’t Lola’s first summer camp, surprisingly. For the past three years, I had to put up with the long weeks without her. No matter how much I begged my parents, they would never let me come before. Lola’s parents, on the other hand, were more than happy to ship her off.

I put away my clothes as the rest of our cabin buddies joined us. There were four bunks in the room, each containing two beds. I hadn’t planned on sharing such a small space with seven other girls but I wasn’t going to let it faze me. We were at camp, it was going to be fantastic. Nothing was going to ruin it for me.

Amery, switch with me, Sarah said, placing her bag on my bed.

You don’t want the top bunk? I asked.

She shook her head. No, I don’t want to have to climb up there all the time. I want the bottom bunk.

I clenched my jaw before taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. I was there first, I didn’t want the top bunk, I shouldn’t have to switch. But telling
