Chapter 1: Hallucinations

"Man Pit! Throw your dirt the other way!" A boy with a southern accent called out in the barren deserted lakebed.

If one would look at the lakebed today, most would say, there was never a lake. But in fact there was a lake, years and years ago. Most people would just describe it as a desert with a bunch or orange jumpsuit-wearing delinquents.

"Didn't see you there Squid, my bad." Armpit said apologizing as he glanced around at the other members of his tent.

Noticing one member missing, Armpit shielded his eyes from the sun as he glanced around at the members of his tent.

"Yo, Barfbag!" He called surprising the boy, causing him to turn around.

"Hmmm?" Barfbag asked humming, his throat was too dry and he didn't want to bother trying to talk.

"Where's Zigzag?" Armpit asked causing Barfbag to turn towards his right, noticing the empty hole.

"Zigzag!" Barfbag called as he climbed out of the hole, causing the other D-Tent members to do the same, all glancing around searching for the frizzy blonde haired boy.

"Zig!" Squid called out, causing a boy with thick black glasses to turn towards him.

"Squid, I see him! He's over there." The boy stated as the boys jogged over to where he stood.

"Zig! What the hell are you doing all the way out here?" Armpit asked panting.

"I saw someone." Zigzag muttered incoherently.

"What'd you see?" The boy with the thick black glasses asked.

"I don't see anything." A Hispanic looking boy stated with a heavy accent as he looked where Zigzag was looking.

"No man, I saw a girl." Zigzag stated causing the other boys to quickly shake their heads and moan about the heat, or how crazy he was being as they began to walk away.

"No you guys! You don't understand I actually did see a girl! She was just walking around aimlessly out there!" Zigzag exclaimed as he followed the boys back to their digging site.

"Right, I believe you Zigzag. I see Pamela Anderson out there everyday." Barfbag stated as he jumped into his hole causing the other boys to snicker at his remark.

"Was she a blonde? I like those blondes." Squid stated with a long whistle following after.

The boy with the glasses smiled as she said "She was wearing a short skirt too I bet, with a pink tang top."

"Nah, X-ray, She was wearing blue jeans with a white tang top." Zigzag muttered.

"And Black heels!" Armpit chimed in causing the boys to let out a catcall whistle.

"They were black knee high boots." Zigzag corrected causing Barfbag to turn to him raising his eyebrows as he said; "Now that's hot."

"She had a camera with her as well." Zigzag added as X-ray finished his hole.

"Next time you see that girl, tell her to hit me up sometime." X-ray stated as he walked by Zigzag's hole making his way back to camp while also causing the boys to laugh from what he said.

Two more hours passed, and one by one, the boys finished their holes and Zigzag was the last to finish because he sort of lagged behind in his digging today. Standing next to his hole, he took a deep breath before hawking a spit wad into his hole. Taking one more longing look on the dry lakebed, his eyes soon landed on a small figure off in the distance. Realizing whom it was he was staring at he immediately dropped his shovel and ran past a few holes.

"Hey! Hey girl!" He called out dryly hoping he would get the girl's attention.

"Hey You!" He exclaimed seeing that she kept walking, He could see her lifting a camera and taking a picture of something.

"HEY!" Zigzag screamed one last try, hoping it would get her attention. Today Lady Lucky happened to be on his side because the girl suddenly turned towards him and just stood there staring.

"What are you doing out here?" Zigzag called out, trying to figure out why a girl would be in an all boy's detention camp.

"Hey, Zig!" Magnet called out, surprising Zigzag causing him to turn around and quickly run over to Magnet.

"Man, what are you doing just standing there?" Magnet asked with a confused face.

"Dude, I saw her again!" Zigzag exclaimed.

"Who?" Magnet asked confused as he stared past Zigzag's shoulder.

"The girl! That I saw earlier, she's back!" Zigzag exclaimed as turned around searching for the girl.

"Right, Zig…Let's get you inside, I think the sun does things to your head." Magnet said as saw no one in the desert let alone a girl.

Shaking his head in a confused state, Zigzag began walking back to the camp with Magnet, while he kept glancing back over his shoulder.

"I swore she was there." Zigzag muttered as they entered the tent.

"What took you two so long?" X-ray asked as he glanced between the two.

"The sun is doing things to his head, man." Magnet answered as he walked over to his cot, while Zigzag sat on his cot contemplating over today's surprising events.

"I thought I saw a big giant burrito yesterday." Armpit stated as he leaned against his pillow relishing over that memory.

"What I would give for a freaking burrito." Barfbag said with a sigh as he stared at the ceiling of the tent.

"Or a chocolate chip shake!" Armpit exclaimed already tasting the chocolaty goodness melting in his mouth.

'Can we please stop talking about good tasting food!" X-ray exclaimed annoyed with his tent members cravings.

"Yeah man, you all think we can get that stuff here? It won't be for months." Squid stated as he walked into the tent

"Your back." Squid greeted finding Zigzag on his cot.

"Yeah, he saw the girl again." Armpit said across from Zigzag on his own cot.

"Was she hot?" Squid asked with a chuckle causing the others to erupt into laughter.

Zigzag rolled his eyes as he rolled over on his cot, he didn't care if they believed him or not. He knew what he saw and he knew that she was real. She heard him and that's all that matters.
