Last summer at camp, there was this girl who no one liked.

And she kept trying to hang out with us.

And we didn't know how to get rid of her.

Heat floods my face.

Thus far, I have refused to read the signals that these girls have been sending me because I'm under the mistaken impression that ignoring meanness in other people is the nice thing to do and will make it go away.

But now Megan here has told such an obvious parable that she's basically forcing me to read between the lines.

I know she's talking about me.

I know I'm not wanted.

I get up quickly, bust my tray without having eaten, walk back to my room, but I can't even take refuge there because soon Megan and the other girls go back there to hang out and I don't want them to see me crying.

But I have a new problem.

Tonight is the Friday night dance and the last thing I want to do is go to a dance without any friends.

So I ask the camp counselor if I can just stay in my room and read a book, but she says no.

So I go out on the hall, new plan, ask a random girl if I can use her dorm room phone.

I unspool the cord as long as it can go to try to get some privacy and I call my mom and I say, mom, please come pick me up.

I am done with camp.

Because you see, I live 10 minutes away.

I live in Iowa City where camp occurs.

There is no reason for me to stay in this place for another week.

But my mom says no.

So my last plan is just to hide in a corner of this girl's room and try not to cry until the time of the dance.
