The Fake Permission Slip

I was a sometimes a sneaky, rebellious teenager. I was sixteen years old and I had a boyfriend named Dave. Dave was tall with dark hair, dark eyes and he was handsome. He lived in a foster home with a Christian family. They were a really nice family with three children. I used to babysit for them sometimes.

Dave and his friend Clay had made plans to go camping and I was invited. They had permission to go this one weekend. The plan was that we were going to bike there. It was an hour and half away by car so it was pretty far by bike. I was trying to figure out a way to go with them. In typing class I made a letter with a letter head of the name of the school on the top. In the letter I stated that there would be a class camping trip and that we would be going to this certain park by bike. I stated it would cost this certain amount and to please sign here to give your child permission to go.

I got the permission slip signed and the money to boot. We rode our bikes for hours with a small tent and backpacks on our backs. It was a real hot and sunny day and it was so, so far. When we finally arrived we set up our tents and looked at the food that was brought. We really did have that much food. There was a store nearby as well to buy more food but we had spent almost all our money on some weed which was so very dumb.

Anyway we got high and laughed a lot. We all played Frisbee and then Dave and I fooled around in our small tent. Clay went to bed in his tent and I put make-up all over his face. In the morning we sent him to the store for something. We laughed and laughed as he went to the store with his face all painted. He came back very mad and looked as though he wanted to kill me. The weed made us so hungry and we hardly had any food. I was cooking some pancakes on the fire and they couldn't even wait until I flipped it over to cook the other side. They ate a half-cooked pancake. Everyone started getting cranky because they were hungry and tired. We decided to head back to the city.

With hardly any energy I rode my bike very slow. They were way ahead of me. I'm sure they talked about even leaving me behind. I think Clay was asking Dave, "Why did you bring her"? We were still all pretty high too. They waited up for me and I finally had caught up.

We stopped to look at some pretty horses along side the highway. I tried to feed them some long grass through the fence. Suddenly, I felt a shock through my body and I started crying. Dave asked me, "What's wrong?", I answered, "I think I have epilepsy", "my body just started shaking". I was still crying when Dave said "You just got a shock from the fence." Dave and Clay were laughing so hard, I started laughing too. I was relieved that I didn't have epilepsy. I'm not sure how much voltage went through me but it was scary.

When we finally got back home. My parents said that Marjorie had called, that was Dave's foster mom, she said I was supposed to babysit that day. My parents informed that I went camping with the school and then Marjorie said that Dave went camping too but not with the school. Anyway, now everything was now all out in the open. I didn't get in any trouble at all, I am not sure why. But Dave was grounded.

I am sure that there were other things that happened on that trip but I can't remember because I smoked too much pot.
