Jenna's Dilemma Read Online Free

lot of kids got stressed out about it in the days leading up to the event. Of course, Jenna had never been one of them. She just saw the camp dance as a chance to eat snacks and hang with her friends. And she didn’t think that using the word “social” was going to fool anyone. They all knew it was still the camp dance.
    â€œWe’ll be having all kinds of sweets and snacks, and Pete, the assistant cook you all know and love, has graciously offered to deejay the event,” Dr. Steve continued.
    Pete took a step away from the wall where he had been lounging and threw his fists in the air to loud cheers and hoots from all the guys. Gangly and sweet, Pete was a camp mainstay. Up until this year, he had been a counselor and definitely one of the cooler ones. This summer, he had taken a job in the mess hall, although Jenna had no idea why. Even looking after the boys had to be better than working with the so-called food they served around here.
    â€œA DJ? That’s so cool!” Valerie said, her eyes wide.
    â€œI hope he’s got some good music,” Alyssa put in.
    â€œLast year at the camp-wide dance, they actually played Kenny G.,” Grace said, scrunching her face up. “I mean, my grandmother listens to Kenny G.”
    â€œWho’s Kenny G.?” Jessie asked. For the first time, she lifted her nose from the book it had been buried in the whole time she had been eating.
    â€œExactly!” Grace said, raising a hand. “No one knows! He’s, like, this weird old guy with freaky long hair who plays elevator music. I swear he hypnotizes old people into liking him. Oooh! But wouldn’t it be so cool if you could hypnotize people into liking you?” she added, her eyes bright.
    Jenna and her bunkmates laughed at this latest babble of Grace’s. “Don’t worry. Everybody already likes you,” Jenna assured her, causing her friend to blush under her freckles.
    â€œWe would like the campers to be as involved as possible in planning this event,” Dr. Steve continued. “After all, this is your party. To that end, we’ll be creating a planning committee made up entirely of campers.”
    Jenna’s eyes widened, and she looked from Alex to Brynn to Grace. Now this was new. Campers had never been involved in the planning of the annual event before. If Jenna could get on the committee, she could make sure that it was the best social/dance/whatever in the history of Lakeview. And she could help them avoid the classic mistakes. Like Kenny G.!
    â€œThis is so cool!” Grace said, clasping her hands together.
    â€œCounselors, we will be taking two volunteers from each cabin. Please bring the names of your volunteers to my office tomorrow morning,” Dr. Steve said, shouting now to be heard over the excited chatter. “Thank you for your attention,” he said. Then he gave up and sat down at his table again.
    â€œI totally want to be on the planning committee!” Chelsea said instantly.
    â€œMe too!” Jenna put in.
    â€œSo do I!” Natalie added. “Don’t you, Alyssa?”
    â€œYeah,” Alyssa said. “It could be fun.”
    The whole table erupted as everyone tried to volunteer for the committee.
    â€œYou guys, you can’t all be on the committee,” Julie said, holding her hands up. “Then none of you would get to be surprised on the night of the social.”
    â€œAnd besides, Dr. Steve said there could be only two from each bunk,” Brynn added.
    â€œYou’re right,” Alex said, sitting back. “I’m out. I wanna see what the rest of you come up with.”
    Jenna couldn’t have been more surprised if Alex had just unzipped her face and revealed that she was actually an alien. Alex didn’t want to be in charge of something? Not possible.
    â€œYeah, it’s okay,” Candace put in. “I’m not really into it, anyway.”
    â€œMe neither,”
