Spencer’s POV

I was so excited, school ended last Friday and today is the first day of camp. I know what you’re thinking what is a 17 year old doing at camp if she isn’t a counselor. Well way back in the day, like when I was just starting middle school, the crime rate amongst teens was so high that the city, and eventually the state, started creating summer camps and programs to get kids off the streets and out of trouble.

I absolutely love it! The long lazy days hanging with my friends learning new things, getting better at the stuff I already know how to do, all while getting a fabulous tan, and flirting shamelessly just for the fun of it. The best part was that our counselors were local college kids who were there to have as much fun as us.

The camp is called Kings Camp, and was set up by the high school I go to. Kings Covenant High School, it’s the most elite private school not only in California but the entire West Coast, and the summer camp is just as exclusive. You have to come from an important family or know someone to get into the school or the camp. Ok, not to sound narcissistic or anything, but me and my two best friends, Kyla and Madison, are pretty popular in both places. You see our families are the top three wealthiest families at King and due to some drama a couple years back we’ve been the talk of the town ever since then, but let’s not worry about that. Anyway, we’ve been friends since pre-school and our families have been friends since before we were born. They all went to the same college or something like that. Any way, Madison, who’s third wealthiest, is the daughter of Senator/Humanitarian Javier Duarte and his wife Model/Actress Carmen Duarte. I’m second, my mom is world-renowned surgeon Paula Carlin and my dad is the infamous ‘Lawyer to the Stars’ Arthur Carlin. And top of the list is Kyla, daughter of the late and great rock legend and music mogul Raife Davies and Playmate of the Year 1979 Christine Davies.

Back to the point, camp is going to be so awesome especially with my brothers home and working there. They graduated from King almost 3 years ago, and I’ve only seen them a little during holidays and stuff. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I actually missed them I giggle to myself as I watch them argue from the back seat over the radio. Clay is my adopted and favorite brother. He’s very supportive of me and me being gay makes it his personal duty to look out for me when he’s around. He decided to come home because he claims, “Yale gets boring and he wants to work on his tan”. You gotta love Clay. Glen, my not so supportive brother who I lovingly refer to as ‘asshat’ is back because they’re remodeling the basketball stadium at North Carolina University, so he would’ve been bored too. I think they both just got home sick.
