This story is written by my friend Rita and I. There's only one chapter so
far, but we're pretty quick writers so the future chapters should come
pretty quickly. We had the idea of writing a fic while we were role-
playing. There's no real specific plot yet, except for there being a girl
sent to CGL. It's going to be sort of like a "spur-of-the-moment" type
thing. Please note that we did not write Holes or Stanley Yelnats'
Survival Guide to Camp Green Lake. We also do not own any characters that
were featured in either of the two. Ok, ok, I'll stop yapping now and let
you read.

Chapter One: Order in the Court
Lucy's fingers with their half-bitten nails drummed on the cherry wood desk that sat in front of her, as she waited to hear the judge's final remarks. She was accused of a crime she didn't commit, but all she could do was sit there and listen.. listen to all the lies and accusations.
"Lucille Porter," the Judge said while looking down at a sheet of paper that lay in front of him, "it seems that you are being convicted of theft. Am I right?"
"Yes sir," Lucy said quietly looking at her hands, "I mean, yes, your honor."
"Hmm. theft seems to be a popular crime these days. I just dealt with a case like this one just yesterday," the nearly bald Judge said, getting a little off-track, "You seem like a good kid, Lucille, and I understand that many good people make mistakes, which is why I'm offering you a choice."
Lucy's mother, Margaret, looked to her left where Lucy was sitting, and Lucy looked up from her hands.
"A choice, your honor?" Lucy asked surprised. She was sure she was going to be sent to Juvenile Hall.
"Yes, Lucille, a choice. I've been planning to send you to an all-girl juvenile detention facility, but seeing as they are all booked with campers, I asked the Warden of a camp called Camp Green Lake, which is an all-boys camp, if I could possibly enroll a female into the camp, just this once, and she approved. It's a camp that helps troubled youth build character. So Lucille, would you like to attend camp for 18 months, or face an 18-month sentence to Juvenile Hall?"
Margaret looked at Lucy unsure. A camp filled with boys? Margaret knew that her daughter got along with boys more than she did with girls, but she didn't know what would happen there.
"I choose to go to camp sir. I mean, your honor," Lucy replied in her weak, raspy voice. She was overjoyed that she didn't have to stay in Juvenile Hall.
"Your honor, are you certain that the boys will respect my daughter? And nothing that's not platonic will happen there?" Margaret piped up.
"I'm sure Madame. The Warden will be on the look out for any horseplay. I assure you," the Judge answered.
"It's finalized, then. Miss Lucille Porter, you are sentenced to 18 months as a camper at Camp Green Lake. Good luck to you," the Judge stated, as he finalized the decision.
