It's a long time between now and April and anything can happen. If you really want to go to Washington than make the trip as you will regret it otherwise later in life if you never get a second opportunity to do so. You'll be more upset about not going than having gone.
What should you do? Arrange to talk with your teacher and the other teachers and or principal organizing things as well as room assignments. Tell him that you wish to be with your friends but are concerned about the people they may choose for the fourth roomate.
Tell them what is upsetting you, your fears and be extremely honest with your teacher and say you don't want to go to Washington at all anymore over this issue. That will open his/her eyes to making the situation a lot better for you and finfing ways to put you with your friends and keep you away from kids you don't want a thing to do with.
After all, it's the teachers who make the room assignments not the kids and they take situations like yours very seriously. More than likely the only time you would spend with actual roomates are when you are to sleep and seldom during the day.
So, here's what I would do. I would tell your parents that you do not want to go to Washington at dinner tonight and the things that make you upset over it. Have your mother or father call your teacher and tell them how you feel and have your parents emphasize you don't want to go period.
Then talk to your teacher and the organizers with your parents present to get it resolved for you. Your teachers want you to be on this trip and happy at the same time. If after talking to them you're still not satisfied sit this one out. I personally feel not going to Washington with your class would be the wrong decision either way.

I went to DC for my eighth grade trip too!
My experience: My best friend and I had the rooming situation all figured out, and my principal (who honestly did not like me) purposly put me in the worst room possibe with people I did not want to be with. I talked to her about it, and although she had switched others around, she wouldn't do anything about it. I was so upset, I didn't know what to do. I thought I would be miserable. BUT, when I actually went on the trip, we really just slept in our rooms, and spent no extra time in there.
It will not ruit your trip at all. You are so tired from a day jampacked with things to do, you really won't be in your room other than to sleep and shower.
Seriously, don't get upset about it. Hang out in your other friends rooms until lights out. Make friends with the girls in your room. Be really positive, and things will work out. I promise. DC was the time of my life, and I'm sure it will be yours too. Keep focused on how much fun you are going to have. Your room assignment will not change that.
Good luck and have tons of fun!

hey,
I did this too. SOOO much fun, I want to go back!! :)
Just try making friends with her. I mean, what's the worst that can happen?
Also, if that doesn't work, then just hang out with the other people.
You'll have fun, don't worry! :)
Do you live where I live? :0
