enough to be counselors yet, but they weren’t considered campers anymore.
    â€œI guess we’ll have to help you move into the Perch,won’t we?” I said casually. “You’ve got lots of stuff to carry, so just leave it to Molly and me.”
    â€œHa ha, nice try. Stay away or you’ll set off the alarm system,” she warned us.
    â€œThere’s no alarm system!” Molly yelled.
    â€œHow would you know? You’ve never seen the inside of it. And you won’t for another four years.”
    The CATs were so privileged they had their own cabin, deep in the woods behind the dining hall. A lot of newbies didn’t even know where it was. None of the campers were allowed to go inside it or even go near there. It was called the Perch because it was high up on a hill, and cats like to sleep on high perches.
    Eric pulled the car over and parked on the side of the road. We climbed out, and Mama scanned the crowd of people for Eda. When she saw her friend surrounded by a bunch of counselors, she headed straight in her direction.
    â€œWho’s in charge around here?” Mama yelled so loudly that all these people turned around and stared at her. “Is this any way to run a summer camp?”
    Eda was caught completely off guard when she first heard someone shouting—until she saw that it was Mama. Then they ran up to each other and started laughing and hugging. Everyone was watching them.OMG—could they possibly be more embarrassing?
    Eric started unpacking all the luggage from the trunk
of the car. Mama and Eda came over to us, still talking and cracking jokes. They’d been friends since college, and whenever they got together, they practically acted like they were in college again, or even worse, high school.
    â€œLove that shirt! But don’t look now—I’ve seen at least three other people with one just like it,” Mama teased her, because Eda and all the rest of the staff were wearing matching green polo shirts with the little Pine Haven emblem on them.
    Eda threw up her hands in frustration. “I just bought this shirt too! How did I know it was the hottest fashion statement of the season?”
    Then she put her arm around Madison. “Ah, one of my CATs! This might be your best summer ever at Pine Haven! I’m expecting you girls to be leaders. You know how all the younger campers look up to you.”
    Translation: Oh, Madison! Everyone wants to be you. Let me place this crown on your beautiful head so you can be Princess Perfect of Pine Haven.
    â€œI am
so
ready for this! I’ve wanted to be a CAT ever since I was a little bitty Junior,” Madison told her.
    Molly and I were just standing there, squinting in thesunshine. Then Eda noticed us, too. “Hi, Molly! I can tell you’re excited to be here! I bet you can’t wait to get down to the stables, right? And Jordan, how are you feeling, sweetheart?”
    Yes, it was very important to check with the invalid and see if she was feeling okay. Was Eda waiting for green slime to shoot out of me and my head to turn backward?
    â€œI’m great!” I said, planting a big smile on my face. “It’s going to be an awesome summer!”
    Mama and Eda both looked surprised by my reaction. Eda patted my back. “I’m glad to see such enthusiasm from you this year.”
    â€œYeah, Jordan’s got big plans this summer, right?” Madison smiled sweetly at me.
    I tried to freeze her mouth shut with an icy glare, but it didn’t work.
    â€œBig plans?” asked Mama curiously. Even Eric peered around from the rear of the car, where he’d now piled up a small mountain of luggage in the grass beside it.
    â€œGo ahead. Tell them what you and Molly were talking about in the car.” Madison poked me with her elbow. Where was a tube of superglue when I needed it? I’d give Madison a giant spoonful, and maybe it would shut that big blabbermouth of
