2 To the Campsite

Chapter 2 To the Campsite On the day of the camping trip, Billy's dad dropped him off at school. Billy lined up behind Miss Potts, the teacher. I'll do the register. Jack, Sam, Billy, Ash, Yasmin, Keira, Madhura...

Here! Here, Miss Potts! Here!

Billy took a quick peek inside his rucksack to check on the Mini Monsters. All okay? Yes, Billy! Then he sat down on the coach, next to his best friend, Ash. "Isn't this great?" said Ash. But even with the Mini Monsters, Billy still felt really nervous. He couldn't even join in when everyone on the coach started singing camping songs.

"You're SCARED, aren't you?" said Jack, who was sitting in front of them. Are you worried about BIG CREEPY SPIDERS? And hairy, child-eating WEREWOLVES? "Raaaaar!" said Jack's friend, Sam, making a werewolf face.

"Ignore them," said Ash. "Camping is going to be AWESOME! There'll be..." A campfire. Stars. Hot chocolate! Billy was just starting to feel better when Ash said, "And, best of all, we'll be sleeping in the WOODS AT NIGHT!"

Suddenly, all Billy could think about were lots of eyes, watching him from the darkness... ...AND A BEAR CREEPING UP ON HIM.. ARGH! By the time they arrived, Billy had a tight, knotty feeling in his tummy.
