Cassidy looked relieved until Carly a younger camper popped her head up too Whatcha doing she asked Buzz off I said Carly twirled her hair around her finger I’m really good at pranking people ya know Let me help No way I mumbled We don’t want a nine year-old baby helping us She puffed out her bottom lip I’m not a baby I’m nine and a half Trust me I said You’re still a B-A-B-Y I shook my finger in front of her face Don’t go blabbing to anyone that you saw us here Got it She stuck her tongue out and marched away Got it Cassidy winced Are you sure you’ve pulled pranks like this before I shrugged Not exactly Her shoulders drooped You said everyone 6
pulls camp pranks I don’t want to get in trouble I crouched down and held out my hands You won’t Promise But Cassidy was so tall that she didn’t need my help She gripped the windowsill and pulled herself through the window Then the three of them grabbed my arms and pulled me inside I tapped the poster of Anna Wainwright on the wall She’s an Olympic gold medalist When did Avery get this autographed I turned to Cassidy Avery might try out for the US Equestrian Team She’s that good asked Cassidy I shrugged Yeah But I’m better Way better Khadija gasped Ainsley I’m just telling it like it is I said Nothing wrong with that Ryleigh studied the room Do we have to turn everything upside down 7
Everything I said Khadija frowned What about the bunks I tried to lift the metal frame They’re too heavy to turn over but we can flip the mattresses Keep the sheets and blankets on and tuck the pillow under the mattress Ryleigh giggled They’ll sure sleep tight in these beds 8
We better hurry I said If we’re late for our lessons Aunt Jane and Layla will be out looking for us Layla is our cabin’s counselor Cassidy walked over to the poster to get a closer look Be careful with that I warned Don’t rip it Avery will throw a fit 9
