Disclaimer: I don't own the Chipettes or Chipmunks.
The idea of a summer camp story came to be from vacation. I felt like crap in Florida (which is where I am now) and it gave me a perfect idea for a story ... sort of. Every chapter of the story will be done from a different character's POV. Chapter 1 is my friend's OC, Vanessa. You'll understand her character when you read the chapter, but there are also the Chipmunks, Chipettes, and other OCs in this too. I have a lot planned for this story, but I promise not to forget about my other ones.
This story is rated T for strong language and mild nudity! Woo!

Chapter 1: Camp Serenity
The old oak tree was my sanctuary. Sitting beneath it, my feet in the river with the cool breeze flowing around me made me feel at home. Summer camp wasn't how I planned, although what did I expect? No one back home liked me much either, and all those kids from home happened to be there.
Camp Serenity. The place to escape all your daily problems. To me, it only caused more problems. Sleep-away camp equaled drama, and drama equaled me picking physical fights with people. Oh, I'd have the guts alright. It wouldn't be the first time I punched somebody in the face.
"What time is it…" I mumbled to myself, reaching into my small orange bag and pulling out my cell phone. Cell phones actually weren't allowed to camp because they believed it would cause us teenagers to become home sick, but I didn't care. I packed mine anyways. "5:20 already?" Groaning, I threw my phone back and grabbed my bag, standing up and wiping at my denim shorts. No doubt my group, Overlook, were swimming in the lake. There were six groups actually. Three girl groups; Overlook, Shinecock, and Kaflick; and three boy groups; Lakeside, Sobaco, and Croft. The names were ridiculous and stupid… well, to me anyways.
Whenever I didn't feel like going to my group's activity, which was usually all the time, I'd sneak away to my oak tree and rest there until meal time. It's funny how my counselors don't even realize that I'm gone; or … maybe they do, but they just don't care.
After walking a few yards through the woods, passing unused campsites and such, I finally reached Overlooks' cabins. There were only four of them, and in each stayed a maximum of five girls. Overlook only had 12 girls though, which meant each cabin contained four girls. My cabin was Cabin 3. I absolutely hated who I was bunked with. Two sluts and a nerd. You probably know one of the sluts though. Her name is Brittany Miller. She's the lead singer of that group, The Chipettes. Well, yeah. She BARELY wears clothing, if you could even call it that. Her shorts are so skimpy and revealing, and her tops are usually see-through. Gross much? Even more gross, she's dating Alvin Seville from the Croft campsite. I can't stand that boy. He's so conceited and rude and … ew.
Anyways, Brittany's the only actual person I know though from Overlook because she goes to my school. Well, her and these two other girls, Emma and Maggie. Everyone else were strangers but I couldn't care less about them. It's just my luck that Brittany and me are cabin mates and have to share a bunk bed.
Luckily when I arrived at the cabin at 5:30, Brittany nor the other two girls were there. I dropped my bag on my bed, grabbed my sunglasses, and headed out the door. Dinner was at 6:00 in the Mess Hall, but the groups all usually arrived there around 5:40. From Overlook to the Mess Hall was less than a minute walk since they were literally right by each other, so I decided to be a little liar and tell the dinner ladies that I was sent to help them set up. How kind of me right? Well, they thought so too, so they didn't have me do much. I just set out the giant salad bowl and dressing.
Finally, the groups started flooding in. Usually boys and girls groups were separated in their activities but for breakfast, lunch, dinner, campfire time, and end of the week ceremonies, we were all together. I sat at the usual table, and pretty soon, my best and only friend Abby showed up next to me.
"Hey Vanessa!" She greeted with a smile, sitting down beside me. I just nodded in her direction and continued to stare down at the table. I knew that pretty soon Abby would disappear to go sit with some new friends she had made. She made friends so easily.
"Oh, I didn't tell you!" She nearly yelled, turning to face me. "You know how the other day I was upset because I didn't know anyone from Kaflick besides Eleanor Miller, Sandy, and Lola?" My god, Abby was NOT content with knowing three out of 15 people, and two of those people just so happened to be her other best friends.
"Mhm…"
"Well, GUESS WHAT!"
"…Eh?"
"I MADE A FRIEND!"
Surprise, surprise. "That's sooo great Abby. Like you need anymore of those." I replied sarcastically. I heard the head of the camp, Mrs. Monica, call up Overlook to get dinner. I didn't really feel like saying be right back to Abby, so I sort of left her there and quickly went up to get a plate. Wow, surprises just kept pouring in. Gross macaroni and cheese with soggy hot dogs and stale salad for dinner. Simply … delicious.
When I got back to the table, Abby was gone. I kind of already figured she would be. I looked around and finally spotted her. Sitting with Brittany, Lola, and Alvin of course, along with two other boys and some random girl. I could not understand how Abby was so in love with Alvin. One, he was taken and two, …he's just an asshole. Although that other boy he was sitting with … was sort of cute.
Shaking the thought from my mind, I started eating my food. It wasn't like me to think about boys openly to anyone, only Abby of course … but she had been busy. Eventually other people sat around the table with me. I didn't know them though, they just needed a place to sit.
"Hi, I'm Kayla!" One of the random girls stated. I merely growled at her and picked up my plate, moving away from the table. Ick, I hated people so much. Every single one of them were so annoying. I took maybe a bite from my food before throwing it in the trash and sneaking off away from the Mess Hall. Like I said before, it was so easy to get to Overlook that no one would notice if you actually snuck away.
When I reached Cabin 3, I quickly got inside and soon sat on my bed. I knew that soon enough, Brittany would show up to change out of her swimsuit and into … well, to change. After dinner was Sports Court for Overlook, and finally Campfire Time where all the groups get together around this huge fire pit to sing songs and tell stories and … whatever.
Right on cue. Brittany made her way into the cabin, stretching her arms and yawning. Not even realizing I was laying on my bed (which made sense since I'm on the top bunk), she went through her drawers and pulled out a thin hot pink tank top and a very short yellow skirt… then started to get undressed. Ew, like I needed to see that?
"Sorry, Britt. I'm not paying you to see those like some of the boys do." I mumbled, loud enough for her to hear as I sat up, my legs hanging off the side of my bed. She nearly span around with a gasp, covering herself. "Ew, freak! Why are you looking?!"
"It's hard to miss them when you're changing directly in front of the window in the middle of the cabin." I loved pissing her off so much. It was my favorite thing to do, actually.
"Oh shut up! You're such a bitch, Vanessa!"
I grinned, "I know." Giggling obnoxiously to make the situation worse, I grabbed my bag before hopping off my bed and heading towards the door. "You might need this," I chimed once more, throwing her the bra left on the small dresser, "Have fun at Sports Court." With an evil smirk, I left her alone in the cabin and once again tried to find my way through the woods towards my beloved oak tree.
It was only nearing the end of the first week of camp, which meant an end of the week ceremony ... and five more weeks left.
Someone kill me now.
