Bugs and Summer Camp: A Horrible Combination

Sneha Jain, Class VIII G


Bugs. I absolutely DETEST bugs! That’s why Samarth chose me for the trick.
My name is Raj and right now I am at a stupid summer camp. Well, I guess I did make some friends like Harshit, Ankit and Soumil but still…
So, you must be wondering who is Samarth? He is the bully here and he is after my life. He has decided to turn me into his punching bag.
He put up a magic show and announced that some ‘lucky’ volunteer would help him. Well, go on, guess who he chose to be the volunteer. Yep. Me.
At first, I thought he would cut my head off in that box trick, or maybe make me disappear through his magic hat. But I was dead wrong. It was much worse than I had thought.
“Gather up people for an amazing trick!” he said. I reluctantly went with my friends. “So, today I will be showing you a bug trick with the help of…..” At this, his ‘followers’ started jumping up and down. “……..Raj!” He said, followed by a lot of hooting.
Oh great! I went up the stage to see how he was going to torture me.
“Today, I will show you the power of the puny bugs!”
Oh no! Not good. He put loads of bugs on my T-shirt and said, “See and watch my friends!”
See and watch are the same things, I thought. But soon I was petrified by those bugs – all brown and leggy and ….eewwww!
“Now Raj will……”
What’s he going to do next? Make me eat them?
“Eat them!”
“What?!! No Way!”
“Yes way, or else…..”, he said with an evil creepy grin.
I was fed up of Samarth. So I did something extremely stupid. I picked up some of those bugs and threw them on Samarth.
“Ahhh….!” He squealed in a perfect imitation of a little girl and ran away.
We all laughed till our sides hurt. Samarth never spoke to me again.

I guess, bugs aren’t that bad after all!
