Its been eight hours. Eight hours and yet here I am still trapped on this bloody bus with my wrists in handcuffs. Speaking of handcuffs what the hell do they think I'm going to steal? I'm on a bloody bus! I turned in my seat and started staring out the window of the beat down yellow bus. Not a thing was in sight just sand. Lots and lots of sand. My blonde hair was currently resting down my back making me sweat, I pulled it forwards over my shoulder to avoid it warming up my neck.
My legs were sticking to the seat fabric with the heat making me regret wearing my shorts, but every time I tried to move the guard would shoot me a glare so glaring back I soon gave up.
Wow if this was the ride there what was the camp like ?
Mr Pedanski walked into D- tent his cheerful voice filling the room."Wakey wakey boys, I've got some information. We will be receiving a new camper."
"What's that gotta do with us, mom?" Squid asked blinking the sleep out of his eyes.
"Well that's the surprise, they will be rooming with you." Pedanski said beaming.
Loud groans were heard at this announcement. "Mom please there's no more room" Magnet moaned from his cot at the back. "We can barley move as it is." Grunts of agreement followed his words.
"Now Jose, you know that's not true. With Stanley and Hector gone you have plenty of room." Pendanski stated pointing at 2 empty bunks. "Now this camper is slightly different but I trust we will all make them welcome after all just because we do bad things-"
"Doesn't make us bad people the rest of the tent chorused.
"Exactly, now get ready and get out there." With that he left leaving D- tent to wonder what was so different about the new guy.
The bus came to a halt sending me flying out my seat and onto the floor next to me. Noticing the guard sniggering at me I flashed him the bird before pushing myself up (which isn't as easy as you would think it is in handcuffs) and sorting out my now messy hair. After all a girls got to make an entrance even in this dump.
The guard sighed and rolled his eyes muttering something under his breath which sounded suspiciously like 'girls'.
"Get a move on. No one will care what you look like."
Oh this will be fun...
Gasping, I clutched at my neck a look of disbelief on my face. Fake tears began to fill my eyes. "Why ...why are you so mean ...to me?" I began to make sobbing sounds, hiding my face in my hands.
The guards face took on a look of shock before he rushed towards me hands waving in panic."No..no..no don't cry. I'm sorry. Take as much time as you need"
"Thanks" I chimed smiling up at him with a big grin."You have no idea how bad my hair gets in the heat." The guard stared, his mouth opening and closing like a fish. Wow this was better then I expected. Using his shock I adjusted my halter top and checked my converse were laced properly. Then comprehension crossed his face. His eyes narrowed and if looks could kill I'd be long gone.
Grabbing my wrist, he unfastened my cuffs before dragging me down the small alley to the front of the bus. "Jeez dude careful that's arms attached you know." I got another glare for my trouble and a push down out the doors. Spinning round I waved at the bus driver a big smile on my face. "Bye thanks for the lift!" no reply. Well some people are soooo rude.
Then the bus was gone, leaving me in the middle of hell. "Well thanks for nothing jerk!"
Turning away from the only escape I came face to face with a tall man in a floppy hat, shorts, and way too much sun screen on his face and a bunch of guys all dressed in orange. Oh god please say I don't have to wear one. Orange is so not my colour.
The tall man began to speak while taking my hand in his and patting it."Now just because you've done bad things doesn't make you a bad person."
I snatched my hand back wiping it on the edge of my shirt. " And what if I want to be a bad person?" One of the boys started to chuckle.
"Yeah mom what then?" A tall blonde kid asked.
"Ahem now Amy, yes very funny joke there. You'll be in D-tent. The D stands for diligence. I'm Mr Pendanski your tent counsellor. These fine boys are Rex-"
"Yo mom its X-Ray" a tall guy with glasses cut in while stepping forward to shake my hand. " And may I say you are fine Girl." snatching my hand back I shot him a look of disgust.
"Theodore-"
A boy raised his hand causing all the others to back away from him and yell "Armpit"
Wow please tell me I don't sleep next to him. Lowering his arm a guilty look appeared on his face, I gave him a smile anyway.
"Alan-"
A tall blonde boy with a tooth pick stepped forward and kissed my hand. "You can call me Squid" he said with a wink. I could already feel the blush on my cheeks as he smirked.
Rolling his eyes Pedanski continued,"Ricky-"
His eyes seemed to be darting everywhere at once. Omg he was gorgeous I mean look at that hair. I shot his a flirty smile which turned larger at his nervous look "Soo who are you ?"
Swallowing, he fixed a smile on his face before stepping forward and taking my hand. "My name is Zigzag" oh god that voice. "Are you a robot?" so nice and deep and wait what?! I shot a puzzled look at the others who just shook their heads.
"And Jose"
"The names Magnet chica" I smiled at the him noticing the accent.
Pendanski interrupted my staring with a loud cough. "Now look around you, no barriers, no fences If you want to run I won't stop you..." as he began to step away expecting me to follow I glanced from the small group who were watching me, to the large desert in front of me. 3 seconds later my blue converse were hitting the ground and my long hair fanned out behind me as I pushed myself to run faster.
