Camp Friendship
Alexis' Best Year


Chapter One

I ran out of class screaming with excitement! "YEAH!!!!!" I screamed. I ran to Matt and hugged him. He picked me up and spun me around,"We did it Lexi!" he yelled, still spinning me. I smiled when he put me down,"Finally! We're going to be 7th graders!" He laughed. I did my famous hair flip and he laughed,"I gotta go find Kyle! Get me when you wanna leave, we can all walk home together. See ya!" Then he ran off. By "all" he meant our gang, me, him, Missy, Kaitlyn, Kyle, Vanessa, Eric, Tony, Zac, and Sheena. I smiled, Matt was so nice! I remember when we first became friends in first grade when he complimented on my purple Nikes. While I was having a flashback, someone jumped on my back and screamed. I screamed and turned around, it was my best friend, Missy. I yelled, "Missy!!!! Girl, we did it!" She screamed,"Eeep! That was, like, the longest year ever Lexi!" We hugged and jumped up and down. Then, Kaitlyn and Vanessa came running toward us, screaming also. Missy and I laughed. Kaitlyn hugged me tightly,"YES! YES! YES!" I pretended to gasp for air,"Can't.....breathe," I said while she hugged me. She let go and giggled,"Sorry Lex, I'm just so excited!!" She told me. Missy said, kind of annoyed,"Excuse me!" Kaitlyn and I looked at her, she had her hands on her hips, mouth open, and rolled her eyes. Kaitlyn giggled,"Sorry Missy! I can't BELIEVE I forgot you." Missy glared at Kaitlyn, then laughed,"Come to me sistah!" Kaitlyn laughed and ran to hug Missy.
Let me back up. My name is Alexis Chanel Caleb, I'm 12 years old, and I just graduated from 6th grade!
I walked over to Vanessa and hugged her,"Nessa! I have been waiting to say this all year! We....are....SEVENTH GRADERS!!!! Woo-hoo!!!!!" She squealed loudly and we all laughed. I smiled at my friends and thought of how we first met. I met Vanessa and Kaitlyn in Kindergarten, they were best friends already because they've known each other their whole lives since they live right next to each other. I met Missy in second grade, she was sitting all alone at recess because she was new, I walked up to her and said "I like your french braid, are you french?" she laughed and said no, then I invited her to play with Kaitlyn, Vanessa and I and since then, Missy and I have been best buds! I forget how I met Sheena, but we've been buds forever! Then I heard a squeal, I turned around thinking it would be Vanessa, but it was Sheena! "Lexi!" she yelled, then we hugged and sung,"We are seventh graders! We are seventh graders! Oh yeah! Uh-huh! We rock!" We finished singing and laughed. I asked them,"You guys wanna come over to my place and hang out?" Vanessa and Kaitlyn looked at each other and Kaitlyn bit her lip, then said,"Uh...actually Alexis, Nessa and I were gonna hang out together...so...ummm....we can't. Sorry." I smiled,"That's okay! You guys go hang out!" They smiled and hugged me,"See ya!" They both said, waved, and ran off, laughing. I shrugged,"What about you guys?" Sheena's boyfriend, Michael ran up to her and hugged her,"Hey!" he said, still hugging Shenna. "Ready to go, Sheena?" I frowned,"Go where?" Sheena looked at Michael and smiled,"Lexi...actually...I made plans with Michael to go see a movie, so I can't come either. Sorry." She looked at me with sad eyes and I laughed,"Whatever. You two lovebirds go have..." Sheena grabbed Michael's hand,"Thanks! Bye!" then they ran off. "...fun," I said, finishing my sentence. I turned to Missy,"Do you have some plans I don't know about?" She looked down,"Actually..." I cut her off,"Oh come on!" She giggled,"I'm just kidding!" I looked at her,"NOT funny." She rolled her eyes,"Geez, have a sense of humor."
