2nd Day of camp…

"Rise and shine sweetheart, were going canoeing today!" I looked at the clock it was barely 8. Well Savannah is an early riser.

"Savvy it's barely 8 and activities start at…9! Why didn't you wake me up earlier!" As soon as I realized were going to be late I rushed into the bathroom and slammed the door shut in her face.

"Well good morning to you to, Kim."

"Good morning campers. All the JC's did you check the attendant list for today?" Suzy got a couple of nods and yes's. "Good. Now the first activity were going to have today is canoeing! Each troop has to pedal from the edge of the lake till the end and we'll meet you on the other side. The first team to get to the other side of the lake wins today's special lunch. This activity will teach you how to work as a team to win. Everyone should be at the lake by 9:30. Understood?" I've always enjoyed canoeing, so this should be fun.

"Ok everyone finished breakfast? Its 9:15 and we need to be there soon to get a good canoe."

"Yup Savvy is right. Come on finish your bagels this is going to be fun!" Boy was I wrong.

"No Tom, don't turn it like that do the opposite!" Savannah was struggling to help the boys while I helped the girls.

"Tiffany! No don't drop the paddle in the water!" While I was helping Tiffany I saw a boat nearby. I guess were not the only one's struggling to keep up with the rest. Then I heard Layla whisper something into Sarah's ear.

They both smiled and together then stood up and pushed me off of the boat.

"Layla! Sarah! Pull me back up now!" They just nodded to the rest of the troop and they sped off. So this was a plan, I am so going to get them.

I looked around and spotted that boat, I swam as fast as I could and stopped at the edge of the boat.

"Good work Jake keep paddling in that… Kim? What are you doing in the water!" Finally someone noticed me, and im glad it's Jack.

"Oh you know just taking a morning swim… it's not like my troop pushed me off of my canoe on purpose." He just burst into laughter while I was freezing.

"So are you going to pull me in?"

"Oh, forgot about that for a moment. Hey Jerry hand me that paddle." He took the paddle and I grabbed on to it, then he pulled me up. Wow that guy is strong.

"The winners of this challenge are… Troop 8! Congratulations troop 8 you win today's special lunch. The others well all I gotta say is, ya snooze ya loose." When Suzy said that last part she looked specifically at our troop, 13. It's not my fault my troop pushed me off of my boat then sped off till the end leaving me alone to find my way back.

"Kim, Savannah can I have a word with you?" What did she want now!

"I wasn't happy about what happened today. If you want your troop to respect you then show them the harsh side. They flipped you and not savannah because when they first met savannah, she was strict with them. You should work with them strictly for a while and then loosen up slowly or else these kids will cause you nothing but trouble." Well I guess that works too. From now on no more sweet Kim it's time to show them what strict really means.

"Pick that up! Dust that! Who spilled this? Come on we are never going to finish if you keep working in that way!" I was yelling all kinds of different commands; if they mess with me again they know what's in it for them.

"Kim I think your being a little too harsh. I mean they're only kids here to have fun." Savannah said.

"Kim, is that shiny enough?" I got Jessie to wipe the dust off of the glass.

"Just a bit more on the side, Jessie." This feels good, bossing kids around.

"Come on! I need to see my reflection when I walk across the floor."

"Kids go have a break ill get you some ice-cream later." Savannah took them to the lake and when she came back she looked really angry.

"Why did you do that, Savannah? The kids deserved that after pushing me off the boat."

"Kim, don't you realize you're going too far? Yes I know they made a mistake but you can forgive them. When Suzy said to be strict she didn't mean it in that way."

"Then how else are they going to understand that doing that isn't right?"

"They're kids Kim, and if you don't loosen up they'll start acting worse." After saying that she went out and shut the door so hard I thought it was going to break.

I decided to take a walk around the camp and check out the new hall. While I was walking I tripped on a rock and fell on my face.

"Note to self: dirt doesn't taste good. Ouch." I stood up and brushed of the dirt that clung to my clothes and my legs.

"Whoa Kim, are you okay?" That was the voice of non other than Jack.

"Yeah fine, just tripped on a rock."

"I guess there's more than that cause' the look on your face is…"

"Horrible? Angry? Confused?" I suggested crossing my arms.

"Yeah… anyway what are you doing out here?"

"I was going for a walk and decided to check out the new hall."

"Can I join? Jerry to the kids for a swim in the lake."

"Sure why not?"

"So why are you angry?"

"Kind of a long story. When we were canoeing today the kids pushed me off of the canoe. So after that Suzy told me they did that because I was loose with them so they thought they would get away with it. She told me to be harsh on them to gain their respect. And I was, I told them to clean the whole cabin and wipe to the extent I can see my reflection on the floor."

"Wow, that's too much, they're only kids."

"That's exactly what savannah said! Then she took the kids out for ice-cream and left me alone. Well I guess I did deserve that too didn't I?"

"Yeah, kind of. It's ok; just treat them how you would like to be treated. They'll respect you; they just want to have fun."

"Thanks, well come on I want some ice-cream too!"
