All of these stories start the same. A girl is sitting in court or on the bus sweating out a trail or in worry over what is to come. They either did nothing wrong and are just a victim, or they did something so drastic that the court could think of no other place to send them except a boy's camp. Well, this one is different.

A girl had come into camp one day. At first the boys were surprised and had tried to hit on her and "get into her pants" but apparently they were met with a "Fuck Off" and if that wasn't enough, maybe a knee to the groin. She didn't say much. Actually, the only time where she talked was when she was warding guys off, or correcting her name: Brittain. In all honesty, it was a nice name, but for some reason or another, she hated it and insisted that she was called Britt.

She was amazingly fit and tall. She did not appear to have a single ounce of fat on her, she was all muscle. Nobody every really saw her face. She stayed away from the Wreck Room, and ate alone. She dug separate from every one else and whenever she was near someone, a black baseball cap was pulled over her eyes, casting her face into shadow. All they really knew was that she had long brown hair, which was constantly put up into a messy bun, low at the back of her neck.

She slept alone, in a tent near the Warden's Cabin. The tent was actually more of a building, with latching doors and wooden floors. (Hey, I rhymed!)Dr. Pendanski had warned the boys not to go bother her, for their own safety.

But then, the nerd completely contradicted himself. He invited (well, more like forced) Britt to go to one of their "Meetings" that he held with D-Tent. All of the chairs were scooted away from her and they were looking at her warily.

"What?" she asked harshly, while not lifting her head up from staring at her lap. The boys squirmed uncomfortably.

"Okay, let's start with you, Brittain, since you seem to be so hostile right now. Why are you here?" Pendanski said cheerfully.

"It's Britt, and I am here because you forced me to be here" she responded, still not looking up.

"No, why are you here at Camp Green Lake"

"You already know, so why should I repeat myself?"

"Because I am sure the boys want to know." She sighed and lifted her head up. Her eyes were still in shadow from her cap but they could now see her freckled nose and cheeks.

"I put some guy in the hospital."

"Why?" This time it was Magnet who asked. She tilted her head up to the ceiling, as if searching for patience. The rest of her face was pulled out of shadow.

"Whoa" the guys breathed. Her eyes were blood red.

"What?" she asked, slightly taken aback at their reaction.

"Your…eyes" Zig-Zag stuttered out, his eyes shifting nervously.

"What? Oh, you mean my contacts? They block the sun from getting into my eyes." X-Ray looked at her jealously and fingered his nasty glasses.

"Why did you hurt the guy?" Magnet asked again.

"Porque, o mereceu." She said before standing up and storming out of the Dining Hall.

Everybody looked to Magnet for a translation, as it had sounded a little Spanish. He shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't look at me, that wasn't Spanish."

The next morning, instead of giving them a wide berth, like usual, Britt stood next to D-Tent when they got their shovels and honey covered tortillas. The boys noted this with slight apprehension and eyed her warily. She grinned under the brim of her hat and stalked out towards the lake bed.

Although she was nearer than usual, Britt still stayed a fair distance away from the boys when they were digging. Every once in a while, the boys would glance up, and see her digging at an amazing rate. At lunch, she sat alone on the edge of her hole, eating swiftly. Before the guys were halfway done, she was up and digging again.

She finished about forty five minutes before even Zero was done. Jumping up out of the hole, she took off her hat, and spit in the hole. She looked back towards the boys, her crimson eyes sweeping over them. She grinned and walked back to camp.

Zero made it into camp after her. He got there in time to see Britt walking out of the Warden's Cabin, wringing out her long hair. She was wearing her uniform tied around her waist and a tank top with a British flag on it that said "Britain Is Great". She threw open her tent door and stepped into the shadows.

When the rest of the boys came back into camp, Britt was reading, leaning on the side her tent, a pair of glasses perched on her nose. The boys looked astonished that she was actually outside of her tent. They had never really seen her out in the open after digging. She looked up at them through her glasses, revealing green eyes. The boys shoved Squid forward, and he turned back to them complaining.

"Come on guys. Don't make me this" X-Ray glared at him. Squid's shoulders drooped and he walked over to Britt. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Um, I was wondering, well…we were wondering if you would like to eat with us tonight, and hang out in the Wreck Room." He managed to get out. She pulled off her glasses and looked him up and down.

"Sure, why not. Now help me up." She said holding out a hand. He lifted her up and smiled at her.

"But, you guys need to shower first." Britt said, laughing, while she motioned to the dusty guys.
