When Sparks Fly

My grandma always told me if I meet a guy make sure he is a good Christian boy and guess who I found. My name is maddie and every year my grandma pays for me to go to kids camp but now that im 13 I got to go to youth camp instead. I was exhausted after the 3 hour long bus ride we took to go and stay a week at camp. Now on that ride chris sat write behind me so me and Jay the girl I sat with messed with him the whole ride so at first I thought that I had a crush on him so throughout the ride we were messing with him. Then we stoped at chick-fa-la...

Once we got there I had $30 to spend so I got myself a milkshake and a chicken sandwich and of course I was going to get waffle fries. Once we ate it was back to the bus we go for a whole new hour of travel it was a family rode trip all over again and all you could here was "Are we there yet?" just over and over again. Like come on now Im trying to get some sleep.

Everyone knew we were there because on the way there it was a roler coster of a road up and down and up and down everyone had their hands up and were pretending to be on a real rolar coaster. Mind you these are 15-16 year olds mainly. So that was sooooooo funny.

When we arived I got off and went to the back of the bus to grab my duffle bag and pillow and we made our way to the rooms and we of course got the one in the very back so I got a lot of exersise so then we went in I claimed the side of the big bed and once we got un packed we went to service. The service was very deep for the first night but hey now I now I know the week is going to be.

After the amazing experience of the service we all made our way to the big pavilion and we all separated into different colors and not just separated by colors oh no they also separated the colors into number groups. I was green 3. We also had to name our group and the stupid name my group had decided that we should use is The Green Gremlins. Yeah I know right that alone made me just never participate in the team activities, like we would actually win. Like what are the chances we actually win there are 25 teams so if you did the math correctly we had a 4% chance of winning so what was really the point. We headed back to the rooms and then we finally got to bed at like 1 in the morning.

When we woke up we got break fast and after we went to our morning service and it was a great service. We all went to bible quiz and we won the first round. Then we had a 2 and a half hour timeline for free time and I had to spend it at the pool. I got my new bathing suit on and went to the pool and when I did it was very cold.

It was fun I started to play volleyball with some people and that is when I met ginger I didn't know it then but in about a week and a half I would be dating him and I had fun me and him were on a team together and we won. We had fun and we got to know each other when we were walking back. When we were walking back and I was wondering what happened to the 21$ i has taken from chris. I went back and still didn't find it.

So then that ment i was broke. That also ment i had to tell Chris I lost his money it was kinda funny watching his face when I told him he's 21 dollars in debt. But now I can't eat candy and snacks so its a win lose sanario. So now I apparently owe him but he knows I'm always broke so he should know better than that. But anyway after that me and my group were just hanging out at the room till we had to go to dinner.

When we got done with dinner we stoped at the room to get our bibles and we were on our way. This is were I really messed up with everything me being the little teen girl I am was sooo excited about hanging out with a guy that I wanted to tell everyone that I had met a guy and I know you are probably confused like why is that so bad.

My church has a rule called no purpleing and the definition of this rule is that boys are blue and girls are pink and blue plus pink equals purple so basically no flirting during this week and I just exposed myself and I wasn't thinking like always.

I was also sent back to the rooms for me shoving him and was forced to not talk to him so I sent him a note saying that he was not able to talk to me. I gave him the note and he did not read it till it was to late.

We did hang out while we were at the creek trying to get cleaned up after mudpit and yes it's exactly what it soundslike. but after we got out since he didn't know what happened he kept trying to hang out in front of my leader and I got in trouble and had to be by a leaders side the whole rest of the day and it was not the best time but it could have been really messed up.

Then came pool time and I had to wait for my leaders who always took forever and then we finally got to go to the pool. Once we got there it was very awkward because me and ginger were not able to talk even at the pool. It was very fun i played volleyball with the people who we had hung out with out the pool the day before. Other than that it was a normal day other than the fact i almost drowned but thats beyond the point.

Then after that we just did the same thing we usually do except this time me and Jade were hanging out in the middle of the camp. They were literally doing nothing just staring. I was also told that I had to stay with Jade and she kept just leaving me there while I was playing a game because I was completely against the idea of just doing absolutely nothing but talking about cute boys like seriously come on now.

I had fun though, other than the fact I had to spend half the time chasing after them. But at least the service was good. After that we all went back to the rooms and we hung out for like 2 hours messing around. After we took time seriously we went to bed and trust me i slept good. Today is the last day and i was hanging out with girls i met from another church and throughout the week ginger was helping with cameras. Every once in a while he would walk past and i would wave and when i tell you this is the most awkward interaction of my life.

Since this was the last day there was a late night pool party (even though it was like 60°) and barely anyone was there. I was hanging out with the girls from earlier and ginger. My group leander was watching us both like a hawk and yet didn't say anything about it. I honestly think that it was because she just didn't want to argue about it since it was the last day. While we were in there i swear it was like 20° in that water. I was shivering and ginger was so worried about me so he was begging me to get out of the water and he even offered to get out if I get out and get why because I couldn't feel the bottom half of my body.

When i finally got out of the pool we walked back together with my leaders. Ginger told me to wait at the campfire and when he came back he gave me his blanket to sleep with. When i went back to the room a lot of the girls asked whos blanket it belonged to and when i told them they were so surprised. You might think im being overdramatic but that was the best sleep all week, probably because I finally had a real blanket for once but thats beyond the point.

The next morning I was packing up my bag and I saw my letters that i was going to give ginger but didn't. I made sure to throw those in the trash. But anyway after that me and my group went to the last meal of camp, breakfast. I got literally every single thing I could and was on my mary way. Before we went to breakfast we dropped off the bags and when i tell you i could barely get it off the ground i mean it.

One of my leaders actually had ginger come over and help me. He literally got the bag up and on to his shoulders. How, you might be wondering, I have absolutely no clue.

We got on the bus and rode home and we even stoped for snacks. I even tried to take a nap but of course I could be left alnoe long enough to close my eyes. When i finally fell asleep I was woken up by a girl who decided it would be funny to tell me we were home when we were still Twenty minutes away, I was so upset.

Once we got home i texted ginger and after about two weeks of talking we started dating on June 26th of 2023.

Then after 3 months we broke up.

The End...
