This is my first blog post. In our first writing unit we learned about making leads, making endings, and using dialogue. I choose this story because it was the most excited event in my life.  If you are wondering how long this story took for me it took 4 weeks. 

One bright afternoon at Camp Robin Hood after green and white broke, we were all standing in front of the dining hall for the…JELLY BEAN PICK!

“YAY!” I screamed out.

After we all lined up, Woody and DC started talking about the rules for Color War (Green and White).

“Now without further ado, time for the Jelly Bean Pick!” Woody said, shouting into the microphone.

Everyone started SCREAMING their heads off after Woody said that. ( I was screaming VERY loud too.)

Then it was time to announce the people on green and white.

Woody, the head director, called the two Tumbler captains and the two co-captains up to pick the first jelly bean. Since there are two of each, they had to do rock, paper, scissors to pick the jelly bean. The jelly beans inside the hat are green and white so if they pick a white one they are on the white team.

“Rock, paper, scissors says shoot,” said Lila and Marni (The two team captains.)  

Guess who won!…Lila!

Lila reached her hand deep inside the hat. Quickly she pulled out a … WHITE JELLY BEAN! She is on the white team!

Beforehand she picked people to be on her team, now it is time to announce the people on her team.

“On the white Tumblers there is Allie, Carly, Brooke…” said Woody.

What!? Did they call my name!? Did they say Allie!?

“I am on the white team! Hooray!” I shouted.

“Now for the green Tumblers,” said Woody. “Marissa, Maddy, Esme…”

After the Tumblers went, all of the other groups went.

Then it was finally time to find out what counselors captains were on which team!

I was shaking with fear because I really, I mean really, wanted Kerri and Mikey. Kerri slowly put her hand in the hat.

“The bean has been picked,” said Woody in a little yell. “It is…Fight white Fight!!!” shouted Evie and Josh.

“Go green go,” shouted Kerri and Mikey.

Why didn’t I get Kerri and Mikey?, Actually, it is fine that I got Evie and Josh because they are so active. I thought.

I jumped up and down in excitement, “Color war, YAY!” I shout. “Color war! Color war! Color war!”
