Hey everyone! This blog post is about my free writing. My free writing is about a girl, who leaves her house and goes to a camp, but during Halloween. I wont say anymore! It was a lot of fun. It's is still not finished though, so please tell me if you want me to add anything or any feedback. It's down below!
Rumble! Rumble! The car rumbled as Natalie Whitney and her butler drove over to school camp. They passed the sign that hung over the driveway. “FADING MOSS CAMP, ” it read. Coincidentally, (Or non coincidentally?) The camp was seven days, and the 4th day of the camp was none other than Halloween. Alex’s family was rich (her dad owned a worldwide company, CloudRevel, which is basically an internet storage management space ), and Natalie even went to a private girls school. Her dad read about this in the newspaper, and thought it would be a good idea for his daughter to learn to “bond with nature”. Natalie kicked and screamed but her parents forced her to go. Natalie was not a brat, which is surprising considering her family was rich. She was usually well behaved, but when she didn't want to do something, she was made to do it anyway, and that made her go crazy. Anyway, back to the story. Her butler, Alfred, simply drove into the carpark. It was best not to talk to Natalie when she was angry. “Please Alfred, please take me home!” Natalie said. Natalie ’s voice was a lovely, posh, high english accent. “I am sorry, Miss Natalie, I have been given strict commands from your parents,” was the reply from Alfred. Natalie had blonde hair, in a long braid, and blue eyes. She had brown freckles on her cheeks. When Natalie was in a good mood, which was most of the time, she called Alfred “Batman’s Butler”, because Batman and Natalie’s butlers had the same name. Natalie thought the camp sounded and looked creepy, and didn't like it one bit. The thing that scared her the most was that the fourth day of camp was on Halloween, her most favorite holiday. Now, I know what you're thinking, why would she hate camp if it was on her favourite holiday? Well that's because she liked Halloween with her family, and she was scared something would happen to her outside home on Halloween. She was terrified, but she didn't want to seem like a scaredy cat. Alfred’s voice suddenly came. “We are here, Miss Natalie.”
“But I don't want to go, Alfred!”
“Well, I am sorry to say, you have to go, Miss Natalie. Now no chit chat, I will get your bags out for you Miss.”
“Fine,” mumbled Natalie under her breath. They got out.
There were only 12 cabins, with 6 kids each, so that meant 72 kids in one camp. The kids were in their cabin group the whole seven days, so if you got picked with someone you didn't like, you would pretty much have to stay with them for a week. One of Natalie's dad’s cars, a Bugatti Veyron, was the car they were taking today. She got out of the car, and Alfred opened the boot to get her bags. As soon as she got out, a crowd of people crowded around her.
“Are you really James Whitney’s” (that was her dad)“ daughter?”
“Do you actually get 200 every week as pocket money?”
“How much money does your family have?”
“Do you like your family?”
Alfred pushed past with Natalie's bags, and signaled for her to follow. Then, a lady walked out of a big cabin, surrounded by 12 smaller cabins. She approached Alfred. “Hi. Pleasure to meet you! I'm Miss Stamp, but the parents call me Janice. ” She shook hands with Alfred. “You must be.. Natalie’s butler, Alfred.” Then she turned to Natalie. “And you must be Natalie! Come in, I'll show you to your cabin. Alfred, can you please drag Natalies’s bags to her cabin. You are in cabin 3, Natalie. It is our best one.” Natalie scowled. 3 was her unlucky number. But as she went inside, her mood started to change. Her cabin was amazing!
There were only two beds left, and Natalie started putting her stuff on one of them. She had a colorful duvet, blanket and pillow. She met all of the kids in the cabin. All of them were very friendly. There was Kylie, who was from Britain, Kim, who was from Korea, and Jennifer, from America. Her favorite was Kylie, who she made friends with straight away. Kylie was from the same place as her, and they lived on the same street! This must be the posh kids treatment, thought Natalie. I am loving this!
Driing! Driing! The bell suddenly went, making Natalie jump. “Cmon, Nat, we have to leave!” Kylie said. “Why, Ky?” asked Natalie. They had already started with the nicknames. “Because it’s lunch, silly!” replied Kylie, laughing. Natalie ran behind Kylie, her palazzo pants bouncing in the muddy piles around the campsite, but Natalie didn't seem to care. As soon as she reached the dining hall, her mind and nose filled with the most wondrous foods. She saw a buffet table and went straight to it. She got a steak and 2 eggs, 2 sausages, 1 big bowl of salad (she needed to eat healthy!), a berry smoothie, apple pancakes, and a big slice of strawberry and chocolate cake. By the time she was finished, she could barely walk. “Ughhhhh...” groaned Natalie. “I think I ate too much. '' Nat and Kylie went back to the cabin. “Hi Nat! Hi Ky!” Kim exclaimed when she saw them walk in. “How are you guys?” asked Jennifer (or Jenny). “Hoo, guys, I am suuuper stuffed!” Nat replied, gasping. They all giggled. Kylie and Nat shared a room.
They actually have 2 beds like this.
Natatlie lay on her bed, asleep. The next morning she woke up, opened her curtain, and felt so much better. She went and woke up Kylie in the door next to her. “Ky! Ky! Kyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Wake uuuuuup, you sleepyhead! '' Nat shouted. “Ughhhhh!” Kylie said. “It’s six am! Let me sleep alreadyyyy….”
“Nope you're getting up nice and early,” said Natalie.
“I'm sleeping!” said Kylie.
“Are too!”
“Are not!”
“Are too!”
“Are nooooot!” Natalie said. “Now get up, or else!”
Later, they went to the breakfast hall. Natalie had the same classic English breakfast; Earl English Tea, 3 slices of baked beans on toast, 2 sausages, 2 runny
she asked. Nat was hesitant. She was not very good at sports. “Ummmmmm.. ” she said. “Come on, only for 15 minutes! ” said Kylie. “Ok fine!” Nat replied.
