The African American girl stared out the window of the bus. She scratched at her wrist which did not have a hand cuff on it. She had picked at the lock with a hair pin she found in her pocket a few hours earlier.

When the camp came into sight, she quickly latched it back on before the guard had woken up. The bus finally came to a stop in an old town. The girl looked out of the window. There were boys everywhere dressed in orange jumpsuits. Someone them had unzipped the upper half of their suits and were either wearing regular t-shirts or no tops at all. Some of them were pointing her out to their buddies or to anyone who happened to be near by. She barely noticed the guard on the bus take her hand cuffs off, until her poked her and told her to get off the bus with him.

The girl squinted against the glare of the sun light hitting her eyes. She ignored the cat calls and whistling around her. She followed the guard up the stairs to what was now and office, but it looked like it was once a sheriff's office. One of the boys outside on the porch smirked at her. "Looks like we have a female." He said to his friends, chuckling lightly.

Inside she saw a man who had a rattlesnake on his right wrist sitting behind a desk. "Sit down." The guard said, shoving her roughly into the chair in front of the desk. The man behind the desk looked at her, as though surprised she didn't make a sound as she was pushed down into the chair.

"Well," the man said," you must be that girl we've been expectin'"

'Did you figure that out all by yourself?' she thought.

"Jade?"

The girl nodded tossing one her braids over her shoulder that was not in the pony tail she had pulled it back in.

"Hm. My name is Mr. Sir." At hearing this she lifted a thin eyebrow. "Whenever you speak to me you will address me by this name. Is that clear?"

Jade nodded.

After Mr. Sir's speech, she was given two outfits, and a towel and was assigned to tent A. She was then allowed to go to the Warden's cabin to change. Jade was surprised to see that the warden was a female in charge of a place full of males. They had a somewhat pleasant conversation, and then she went immediately to 'A' tent.

Inside she saw a bulky boy with long dark brown hair sprawled across a mattress with his hands behind his head. He was not wearing a shirt, and she was able to see his well developed six pack. There was an empty mattress next to him, which she assumed was hers. He smirked at her as she passed him. She ignored him as sit sat on her mattress.

"So, what is your name?" he asked.

"Jade."

"And what did you do that laded you here instead of some girl camp?"

"That would be none of your business."

The boy leapt up and grabbed her collar. She did not turn to face him, so he grabbed her jaw roughly and forced her to look at him. 'This should leave a bruise.' He thought.

"Listen bitch, you're with the big boys now, so you better watch what you do and say, especially around me. You not in a Girl Scout camp anymore." He was slightly freaked out the she did not show any fear in her features or her eyes.

"Don't you worry; I haven't been in the girl scouts since the 6th grade."

With that she easily wrenched his large hand off of her face with her smaller one and started to walk out of the tent before she stopped at the door way.

"Oh, and if you think that you will leave a bruise, you will have to try a lot harder than that."
