Author's note:

Yes, I KNOW this has been done before many times already, but after reading all the other fics on here, I just couldn't resist! I love the book and I really love the movie and I thought it's about time that I write something that has been on my mind for a while now. I thought how interesting it would be to have a girl come to camp and see if she can get along with the boys. Feel free to review, feel free to ask questions, and if you have any suggestions, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

I can't believe this is happening. I just can't. Why this? Why me? Ugh, this sucks.
I'm on a bus. It looks like I'm heading for the middle of nowhere. Actually, I'm heading to a camp called Camp Green Lake. I already dread going there already. And I'll tell you why: one, I highly doubt there will be a lake, and two, I WILL BE THE ONLY GIRL. I will be in a camp full of boys! It was either camp or jail so of course I'm gonna choose camp. The judge just left the little detail that I'll be the only girl until I got on the bus an HOUR AGO. What. The. Shit. The GUARD had to tell me this. I was so pissed.

You might be askin'. "Why would a 17 year-old girl from Austin, Texas be goin' to a camp for boys to build character?" See, what had happened was, I was just on my way home when I saw these two people in this alley. And you know what I did? I made a ridiculous decision. My stupid self went over there to check it out. INSERT MENTAL SLAP TO THE FACE. Little did I know, one guy had a gun. I was hiding behind a building and, right before my eyes, he shot the other man. I think someone saw this because, right after the guy was shot, I heard a police siren. I look down the street to see police cars heading my way. I turn around and see the guy disappeared LEAVING THE FRIGGIN' GUN ON THE FLOOR! And who do they see with a dead guy on the ground and a gun at my feet? Me. Just my luck.

Maybe I can blend in? But then I realized I have a female body and no muscle strength AT ALL. It was a stupid thought. Sure, I MIGHT pass as a boy if I stuff my long hair in a hat but, then again, I have my female bod. I just don't wanna be trouble for the guys. It's not like I'm super skinny but I'm not super fat. I'M ONLY 107-ISH POUNDS! Average!

I better not get molested or raped... Thank God I don't wear make-up. I only wear cover-up cuz we all need a little help now and then! I've been told I look pretty. Cute, even. But I never believed them. Well, I'm not disgusting but I sure as hell don't look like a frickin' Victoria Secret model. I'm kind of tom-boyish, at times. I always had my hair in a ponytail or just plain loose with my bangs brushed to the side. But recently, I've been wearing it down in front of my face(framing it) with my red cap on. My bangs still cover a bit of my eyes but, whatever. I gotta say, I looked decent. My hair was also a bit curly at the ends and it being layered made my face decent enough for people not to talk shit. I just hope I don't tempt the boys or something. I have to remember, even though I think I'm not the prettiest girl in the world, I'm still a girl. And they haven't seen a girl in what seems like FOREVER.

At least I don't dress too girly. THAT would be interesting for them to see. I was wearing a black tank top under my red plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up, tan cargo pants(not heavy though. Why the hell would I wear heavy pants in this heat!), and my black converse shoes. I laughed at the thought of steppin' off this bus with a mini skirt, low-cut tank top, and heels with some make-up on and jewelry. The only jewelry I wear are my black studs on my earlobes. Other than that, nothin'.

"Pfft! Those boys will be dumb-struck."


Eight hours. Eight friggin' hours I've been on this damn bus. It seems like I'm heading to the middle of nowhere.
Where the hell is this damn camp?!

The handcuffs on my wrists burn from the heat. I COULD complain to the guard in the front see but something tells me it's best not to. I look out the window but I keep seein' the same thing. Nothin'. Nothin' but a barren wasteland.

I open my backpack but the guard freakin' made me jump. He stood up all of a sudden and raised his gun to my face. It's like he's daring me to continue. I probably did the stupidest thing, I slowly reach into my pack and now he's aiming the gun to my forehead. I carefully raise a pack of gum. I offered him some, just to get him off my back, but all I got from him was a grunt before he sat back down. Jeez!

I fiddle with my pack looking for my cap, my red cap. The only thing I have left of my bro, Adam. He died back in Austin when I was 14. Three years seem like three hours. I can remember it so clearly. We were in a car accident. That's the most stupidest thing ever. After years of taking care of me, he dies of a car accident. Don't about parents. What parents? Mine are gone. Died when I was 6 so I barely remember anything about them but Adam always told me good things about them. He was 19 when they died. Talk about age gap. Since he was over 18, he was an adult, so he was my guardian and my only family.

People who were so-called "friends and family" came to the funeral. I was never good at keeping friends. They treat me like shit and then they think I'm their bitch. I don't need them. "I loved him like a son." my Aunt Clara said. Talk about a load of bull. After mom and dad died, family didn't do a damn thing. I hate them.

We both had to get part-time jobs to pay rent of our shitty apartment. Adam couldn't go to college but we had enough for me to go to school. He didn't even WANT to go, which confused me until he told me that I'm his first priority. I was thankful for that. But after he died, I've never felt so alone. I cried for a week, straight. After that, I had no reason to cry so I didn't. Off to a foster home I went. I've been to three but I didn't like any one of them. I barely talked to them and when I did, I somehow was able to piss them off every time. I was with a family called "Adams" before everything went to hell.

I find my red cap and put it on. The sun's glare was annoying me. Hehe, if a little glare annoys me, I wonder how I'm gonna survive at camp. I guess we'll find out sooner or later.

Okay, it seems like this bus ride is going nowhere so I'll just catch a few Z's.


"Get up."

"...hmmm?" I groan.

"GET UP!"

"I'M UP!" I shot up from my nap to the guard hovering over me, gun in hand. I get up and grab my bag and strap it on my back. The guard lets me go as we go down the bus aisle. Before I go down the steps, I turn to the bus driver. "Thanks for the ride." He's glaring at me. I bet he thinks I'm a delinquent. I still muster up a wryly grin before going down the steps, letting him know I was grateful. But before I do, I put my hair in a ponytail, brushing my bangs to the side. I put on my cap again and stepped down the steps.

It was like a blanket of hotness slapped my face. Damn, it's so hot.

Right when I stepped off, I immediately heard "FRESH MEAT!" Here we go...

"Move." The guard nudged me to go to the nearest building.

"Alright, I'm going. Jeez."

I stared walking and right away, everyone knew. All the boys stopped and stared at me like I was some loose wild animal. I heard cat-calls, wolf-whistles, stupid comments. I saw this coming. "Hey, look at the fresh meat!" "Damn! Why is there a girl here?!" "Hey, pretty lady! How about coming to my tent!"

Ugh, assholes. It's like I'm an alien or somethin'. I thought as the guard led me into the building. No, I should stop saying that. I looks like a small office, I think? I walked in and saw a man with sideburns and small eyes. He was chewing sunflower seeds, and spitting them into a small cup.

"Sara Rudden," he said, looking at a clipboard for a sec and then me, "my name in Mr. Sir. You will call me by my name, is that clear?"

I tried to hide my grin as I nodded 'yes'. Mr. Sir? Pfft... What kind of a name is "Mr. Sir?!"

Mr. Sir led me outside. "This ain't no Girl Scout camp, Rudden. Take a good look around. There are no guard towers, no electric fence, no nothin'. You wanna run away? Go ahead, start runnin'. I won't stop you."

"I'm not running anywhere, Mr. Sir," I said.

"Good. You know why? We've got the only water for a hundred miles. Our own little oasis. You wanna run away? Them buzzards will pick you clean by the end of the third day," he chuckled, not giving me ANY sense of safety.

He led me into another building nearby. He tossed me a pair of boots and two orange jumpsuits, "You get two sets of clothes. One for work and one for relaxation. After three days your work clothes will be washed, and your relaxation clothes become your work clothes," he took my pack and tossed it to a tall guy with greasy hair folding jumpsuits. On his jumpsuit was the word "Lump." Sounds comforting, "Lump."

Lump started going through my bad. "Oy! I don't have a knife in there or somethin' like that!" Not like I was lying. All i had in there were deodorant, toothbrush and paste, cover-up, hair ties, underwear, a brush, and a couple of books. Hey, I love to read. I get bored easily.

Mr. Sir rolled his eyes and gave me back my pack, "You are to dig one holes each day. Five feet deep, five feet in diameter. Your shovel is your measuring stick. The longer it takes you to dig, the longer you'll be in the hot sun. Now, change your clothes."

Lump has a smirk and a mischievous glint in his eyes. No fucking way. I hope Mr. Sir wasn't gonna make me change right in front of this creep. I gave Mr. Sir a look. He then realized what kind of situation I was in and told Lump to get the hell out. Then he turned around and I changed as fast as humanly possible. Old man better not get any ideas.

He let me keep my hat. But as I was changing my clothes, the damn hair tie fell out and in between the floor boards. Thaaaaat's just great...

When I was done, Mr. Sir and I walked out of the building. I put my cap back on and put my hair in front of my shoulders. Thank God he let me keep my hat. The damn sun boiling.

"You'll need to keep alert for two things; rattlesnakes-" I cringed at the thought of a snake. I friggin' hate snakes. "-and yellow spotted lizards. Rattlesnakes will only bother you if you bother them. You won't die if you're bitten by one of them. You don't wanna be bit by one of them lizards though, because you will die a slow painful death," he said. When he was done, I was just staring blankly at them. Like '...and this camp is allowed under the health conditions?'

"Sara Rudden?" I turned around to see a nerdy looking guy. He wore a straw hat with knee-high socks and khaki shorts. He also had a big amount of sunscreen on his nose. He smiled at me, showin' me all his teeth. "I just want you to know that you may have done some bad things, but that does not make you a bad kid. I respect you Sara, welcome to Camp Green Lake. I'm Dr. Pendanski, your counselor," he shook my hand. Why is this guy so damn happy? He's at a camp filled with delinquents.

Mr. Sir walked off. Not that there was anything I can do, I just followed Dr. Pendanski. Is he really a doctor? "You'll be in D-tent. D stands for diligence. Since you're the first girl we've ever had at Camp Green Lake, I shouldn't have to warn you about being careful around all these boys," Pfft, yeah, no kiddin', "However, I think you'll like the boys in D-tent. They're still boys but they know to treat a gril with respect," he said reassuringly. Yup, I'm gonna have a great time alright.

I nodded at his words before looking at the showers. I froze on the spot. I was biting my lip. There was no way in hell I'm gonna shower in front of all these horny bastards.

He stopped and looked back at me, "Luckily for you, the Warden is going to let you use her shower. She's a lady so I'm sure you'll be all right," I sighed in relief.

And I thought I was the only girl here...thank you Jesus!

This is going to interesting.


And tada! I'm going to write as much as I can. I'll write as soon as I get home from school.

PLEASE review, favorite, and leave suggestions! I'll introduce the D-tent next chapter and then WE START DIGGING!

I hoped you liked it. :)
