Author's Note 2: @xxinmydreams, it's no coincidence, both movies were based on the same book :)
[Part 1]
Welcome to Camp Sunshine
Charlotte Riley shook her head. A summer camp filled with girls, all underage. She must have been insane to agree to supervising this. She hadn't even been here for 10 minutes and already was losing her mind. She shouted into the megaphone.
"Listen up! The rooms have been divided by age, so by birthdays that is! That's the day you were born!"
All the girls started announcing their birthdays and asking around who else was born then.
"Hey! Zip it for a minute, guys! You all should have changed into obligatory wear for Camp Sunshine and I want to see everyone here with hair in a ponytail! No exceptions! Go see who you're roomed with and get installed. You're free until dinner, which is 5:30 PM sharp! I expect to see you all then! And welcome to Camp Sunshine!"
Before she even had lowered the megaphone away from her mouth, everyone was screaming and running to the lists. The supervisor shook her head. This was going to be a very long summer.
Susanne Quinn Berry ran towards the list along with every other girl there, blonde hair cascading down her shoulders. She had high expectations of summer camp, despite how her mother had tried to warn her. She knew that she'd gotten her hopes up too much, but she couldn't help it. She would be starting High School after summer, and saw this as a training for the social life of her freshman year. She would be turning 14 by the end of the summer, August 21st actually, and starting her freshman year early September. Middle School had not been the easiest on her, to say the least, and she blamed it on the fact that none of the people there were simply mentally as mature as she was. This is why High School had to be different, because this was supposed to be the time that everyone grew up, right? And summer camp was a good preparation for blooming into a social butterfly. Maybe she would finally meet a fellow mature spirit, someone who was a little bit more like her. When she reached the list, she saw that she was roomed with 7 girls - undoubtedly all around the age of 14 - and decided to go to the room, to be the first one there. It was good to be the first one there, then people would have to talk to you, since you were the only one there. And you got time to get to know the room, familiarize yourself with your surroundings before anyone else. And she'd have first choice in beds. She liked sleeping in the top bed.
The first girl to enter the room had brown hair and brown eyes, like her mother did. Because of her close relationship with her mother, she always found that she naturally liked people with brown hair and brown eyes. Only this girl was tall, almost as tall as her, while she already towered over her mom despite her young age. Though, admittedly, it wasn't exactly an accomplishment to tower over the 5"2 of her mother. She jumped off the bed and shook the stranger's hand.
"Hello, my name is Susanne Quinn Berry, but I go by Susie. What is your name?"
"Hi, my name is Erin. I go by Erin."
"It is a pleasure to meet you. When is your birthday? Also over the course of this summer? Because mine is. Now that I think about it, I saw so many girls, it wouldn't surprise me if all the girls on this room's birthdays are these coming weeks! That is so great, we will be the party room, with a new upcoming birthday every week!"
"Right. I turn 14 July 25th."
"Didn't I say so?" Susie clapped her hands excitedly. "Already next week, that is! Mine is August 21st, during our last week here. Where are you from?"
Erin seemed a little overwhelmed by Susie's large personality, but not particularly appalled. Good sign.
"From Milwaukee, Wisconsin."
"I am from NYC, New York."
"Yeah? How are things in the Big Apple?" Erin asked, throwing her stuff on the bed below Susie.
"Amazing! I hate leaving it like this, it is so quiet!"
Outside, the noise that a large group of teenage girls usually makes was still going strong, probably easy to overhear a couple of miles down the road.
Erin raised a dark eyebrow, but 2 other girls walked in then.
Now most of the other girls were walking in, and after a while, all the beds were taken except for the 2 by the window.
"Who are we missing?"
"One girl named Kelly, and one named Addison, I thought," Erin replied.
"Allison, actually," Susie cut in. She pointed with her finger to her head. "Kelly and Allison. Photographic memory."
A girl with red curls and blue eyes opened the door and her mouth dropped to the floor when her eyes met Susie's.
"How the hell did you get in here!? You were just behind me!" She said in a high-pitched voice.
"What? Who are you talking to?" A voice came from behind the ginger girl. The girl's mouth dropped even further, if possible, and she looked behind her like someone had stabbed her. Then back to Susie. Then behind her.
Everyone was growing anxious to see what apparently was freaking the girl out, and Susie took a step forward.
"What is it?"
The ginger girl looked behind her once more, and then stepped out of the doorway, into the room, making room for the last girl to appear.
'Wait, was there a mirror here before?' Susie thought.
The girl in front of her blinked, but she didn't. That excluded the mirror theory.
Fact was, the girl in front of her did not look like her. With her hair in a ponytail, Susie spotted with her fast eyes a freckle on her left earlobe. Nope. Definitely not her. Phew. Then she blinked, and stared at the other girls face, because it occurred to her that if they did not look like each other because of a freckle on her left earlobe, they in fact looked a lot like each other. Too much.
Her eyes met another pair of hazel green-specked eyes, and she read a shock in them that she could easily relate to. She checked the other girl out quickly. Blonde. Slim body, not especially athletic but nonetheless in shape. The shapes. The proportions. Everything else looked exactly the same, from the curve of her mouth to the shape of the blonde eyebrow.
"Whoa! What the hell?!" Erin called out. Susie turned.
"What?"
"What do you mean, what!? You guys look exactly alike!"
"That's not true," The strange girl who looked so much like her quickly denied.
"Yeah it is."
"No," Susie quickly cut in, "We don't. Look, she's got a freckle right he--"
When she tried to touch her earlobe, the girl backed off like Susie's hand would surely burn her.
"Here. Welcome." She finished lamely.
"Hi."
A silence fell, and Susie didn't deal well with silences.
"I'm Susanne Quinn Berry, but I go by Susie," She said, stretching out her hand. She saw the girl - Kelly or Allison - frown when she said her middle name.
"Allie. Well, Allison Rachel Fabray, but I go by Allie." Allie shook her hand tentatively, and Susie could have sworn she felt a spark. From the way the other hand retreated, Allison must have felt it too. Susie decided not to read into her mother's name being the same as Allie's middle name. Rachel is a very common name after all, to her mother's great displeasure.
"When is your birthday, Allie? Susie here has been questioning all of us about ours, since we're the birthday room. All of our birthdays are in July or August, and so far Susie is the youngest. But maybe not now," Erin asked with an evil glint in her eye. Susie looked at Erin with a frown. She didn't want to know Allison's birthday, though she couldn't pinpoint the exact reason.
"It's... August 21st. Our last week here," Allie responded, looking scared yet wary. Erin grinned. Susie gasped.
"What a funny coincidence. You know, Susie's birthday is that day too, she just told me!"
Allie's eyes met Susie's, and she looked like she was about to leave that very second. Only then, a ninth person walked in.
"Hi, my name is Charlotte Riley, and I'll be your cabin leader!" She said with a large smile painted on her face. When she saw the 2 blondes facing each other, she said:
"What a surprise! I hadn't seen sisters on the list!"
"We're NOT sisters!" Allison snarled. "I don't even know this girl!"
"Are you sure?" Charlotte tried.
Fail. Both girls started yelling.
"Are you asking us of we would know our sisters if we saw them, or are you just doubting her judgment? Because I can promise that I have never seen this girl before in my life before not yet 5 minutes ago!"
"Why would you even say that? Seriously! Why? I don't know her! When I say I don't know her, I don't know her! Why should I even know her!?"
"Well," Charlotte opted, "You do look a lot alike."
"We don't look alike!" They both shouted.
"Look, here, she's got a freckle!" Susie said, pointing at the earlobe again, making sure not to touch it.
"I've got a freckle!"
"OKAY! I get it!" Charlotte said. "Hi. How am I supposed to tell you two apart?"
"We don't look alike," Susie said. "She's got..."
"A freckle. Am I supposed to tell you apart because she's got a freckle?"
"Well, that. And I doubt she has the vocabulary that I do, so as soon as either of us opens her mouth you will know."
"Are you calling me stupid? Because I sure know every word you've said so far and I don't like any of them!" Allison growled.
"Stop!" Charlotte said in a demanding voice, putting up her hand for emphasis. "You girls, knock it off right now. We'll work it out. I'm just here to drop off your schedules, make sure that everybody is here, and repeat that we have dinner 5:30. I will see you then. If you need me, I'll be in the bunk with the other counselors."
She smiled at the rest of the room, and said: "Welcome to Camp Sunshine!"
When she closed the door behind her, another silence fell. This time, not even Susie seemed to know what to say.
Erin finally spoke: "So, what do you think of the schedules?"
Everyone went about their business then, but not without weary glances to the two girls who looked so much alike. Both Susie and Allie already knew, that they would be the center of gossip the second they walked out.
