I had been at Camp Nightwing for about a week or so at this point. It was alright I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either. I didn't really have any friends but that's the way I liked it, because if I stayed quiet and kept to myself no one had reason to bother me or so I thought. Because there was Sheila and Sheila always found a reason to bother me.

I don't know what I ever did to her but it was like she hated me, she was always trying to make me miserable. I tried not to take it personally though, I mean she did act like that to others. Given the fact that "others" equaled little kids and one other girl our age didn't make it better but hey, what could you do?

That "other girl" was probably one of the only other cool people here besides from Alice. Me and Alice had known each other for years, our families were close while they were good. But in Shadyside everything crashes down and turns to shit eventually so all we had left was each other. My parents were still alive, barely though. It was better for all of us that I didn't have anything to do with them.

I shouldn't speak so low of Shadyside, I live here and I always have done. I'm a Shadysider through and through, but that's not necessarily something to be proud of, because everyone knows Shadyside is cursed. See the thing is about 300 years ago there was this witch called Sarah Fier, she was hung at this tree that was in camp. It's said she cut off her hand to curse the land. She's been using her curse as revenge on the town, and ever since she died she's been turning innocent Shadysiders into murderers.

Is that too much information to start off? ...Nah. Anyway that "other girl" I was telling you about, her name was Ziggy Berman. She really did seem pretty cool, she was also really pretty...she had gorgeous fiery red hair, the brightest blue eyes, perfect pink lips and freckles that dusted her face beautifully. Okay, yeah I might've had a little crush on the Berman girl but it's not like I could've done anything about it. I had never had reason to even talk to her.

I was going try to find her at some point that day, I didn't know what to talk to her about. I thought I saw her with the book Carrie, I had read that. Maybe I could've talked to her about that?
