"So then the superhero-" My 7 year old brother Jasper said. He was going on and on and on about some bug superhero or something. I gazed out the car window; my head spinning from hearing about bug superheros for the past hour and a half.

"Hey Jas! We're here!" I exclaimed. I tossed my hair over my shoulder as I jumped out of the car onto the bright green grass. My parents began setting up the caravan. 

Finally here at last. I don't think I would have survived Jasper and his bug superheros for another second. I thought to myself.

 I should probably introduce myself! Hi, I'm Evelyn Hughes. I love music and singing and as you already know, I have a younger brother called Jasper who-

"Vivi!! Come see this GIANT bug!!" Jasper called from behind the car.

"Coming!" I called back. Anyway as I was saying, Jasper loves bugs. I walked over to where Jasper was standing. There was a ladybug sitting on a leaf.

"Oh cool, it's a ladybug," I said.

"Did you know that they actually smell with their feet and antennae?" A familiar voice piped up from behind us.

"Oh hi dad! I didn't see you there" I turned around to hug my dad.

"Dad! Look at this ladybug!!" Jasper picked up the leaf and waved it in my dad's face. I walked over to where my mum was sitting. It always amazed me how fast my parents set up the caravan.

"Oh hey Vivi." My mum greeted me with a hug. I hugged her back.

"Hey mum, I was wondering if I could go look around the park? I won't go too far! I promise!" I asked my mum.

"Well I suppose so. Be back by 2:50 ok?"

"Thanks mum! Will do!" I gave her a thumbs up as I ran over to look at the camp notice board. 2:50, 2:50. If i have to be back at the caravan by 2:50, that gives me

I looked down at my watch on my wrist,

25 minutes. Ok thats fine! i can explore the camp in 25 minutes.

I reached the notice board and looked up at all the posters on it. One read:

Wow they sure are busy here. I mean I guess it's cool they have activities for kids.

I looked around to see what else there was. Camp kitchen, pool, beach, camp cafe. Then I looked around at the people I could see. I saw a girl with curly brunette hair. She was sitting on the grass with a paint palette in her hand. She was wearing overalls that were covered in paint. She looked up and we made direct eye contact. She smiled at me. I smiled back. Then I felt the full force of someone walking into me.

"Owww!" I blurted, now on the ground rubbing my head.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry"

I looked up to see a boy with blonde, slightly curly hair. His eyes were.. Different colours?

"Oh that's fine, don't worry about it!" I smiled, waving my hand in the air. "Oh is this yours?" I picked up a black notebook from the ground where I was previously sitting. It had a cute little sticker of a ginger tabby cat in the bottom left corner.

"Oh yea it is thanks." The boy kicked a pebble under his foot on the ground. "Ok well bye" He turned around and started walking quickly to.. Well I don't know where he was going.

That was strange. He didn't talk much. Maybe he's shy. But wait, how are his eyes different colours? I've never seen that before.

Suddenly, my watch started beeping.

Oh shoot! I forgot I have to be back at the camp right now!

I started running back to my caravan.
