“What?! No way!” Harper exclaimed as she stared at the sign-up sheet. Mercury, her new ‘friend,’ had dragged her all the way to the ‘test of courage’ that awaited all campers brave enough to enter. “Those two give me the creeps. I’m not going anywhere
near that forest with them.”
“Come on!” Mercury gestured to his own name already on the sheet. “I don’t wanna go by myself. You have to come.”
“Or what?”
“Or...I won’t be your friend anymore.” Mercury crosses his arms triumphantly, as if he had won the argument.
Harper rolled her eyes. “Okay. See ya.” She started to walk away, but Mercury grabbed her shoulder and yanked her back.
“You scared or something?”
“Um, yes!” Harper shook her head in frustration. Didn’t they already establish that? The two counselors that ran the hike seriously freaked her out. If a bear jumped out at them, she did not feel safe under their protection. Mercury’s expression didn’t change. He wasn’t going to give this up.
And there was no way she was going to let him be better than her. If he was going to do this thing, she was going to do it better. “Fine,” she said tightly, scribbling her name on the sheet in purple ink. “Happy?”
“Very.”
Oh great. What had she gotten herself into?
