This is something I've been meaning to write for a long time. Ok, it's sort of another 'only girl in Green Lake' story, but everyone loves them. Anyway, I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Lizzy's life has been filled with nothing but fear and pain, but when the 12 year old English girl is caught with her cousin, she is given a choice. Will things be any better at Camp Green Lake. And what will she make of the quiet, but sweet Zero?

(Chap 1: Arrival)

Lizzy sat at the front of the buss alone. She was a little short, especially when compared to her cousin, Rickie. Before you ask, Rickie was a girl. A girl with a very short temper.

Lizzy looked to her cousin. Rickie had slightly tanned skin, dirty-blonde hair with orangey-red streaks and pail-green eyes. You would have never guessed that the two where related. Lizzy was quite the opposite. Her skin was pail-white, black hair with a red under layers and her eyes where cola-black. Where Rickie was wearing a white crop top and pink shorts, Lizzie was wearing a blue top covered in white skulls and blue, fade jeans. The heat never bothered her, nor the cold.

The buss stopped, but before the guard could say anything, Lizzy got up and held out her hands so he could take off the cuffs. Rickie followed. They walked out of the bus, drawing a lot of a tension. Lizzy just kept her head down, but still had a cross between a nice smile and a smirk on her face. Rickie was making poses and winking to some of the topless guys. Lizzy looked up once to meet the eyes of one boy, about her age, with dark skin, like most of the boys there, and a mass of frizzy curls in an afro. He grinned and Lizzy quickly looked away, a little blush on her face, albet stark against her pail skin.

They where told to sit down at a desk inside an old shack. A man with hair smoothed back and small, blue eyes and a very shifty look to him looked to him.

"What's your names?" he asked simply. He took a handful of sunflower seeds.

"Excuse me? We don't even know your name." Rickie said, pouting and giving him a dirty look.

"Excuse me? I asked you a question young lady. My name is Mr. Sir, and you will address me by that name at all times. I'm in charge here besides the warden. You do not back chat me, for one thing, you will do as you are told, and you will answer questions when a member of staff, particularly me of the Warden. Is that clear?" Mr. Sir went purple as he yelled.

"Yes Mr. Sir." Lizzy smirked at the look on her cousins face.

"ok now. Names."

"Rickie Jones."

"Lizzie Jones."

"Ok, well girls. Apparently you've already been filled in about what happens here, correct?"

"Yes Mr. Sir." The girls nodded.

"Good. Get into your clothes. One is for work, the other for relaxin'. After three days your work clothes get washed, then you wear your clean one for work." The two girls where given slightly different uniforms. There's where orange trousers, similar to the boy's jumpsuits, but without a top and a white and orange shirt. They couldn't complain that they where uncomfortable.

"Ok, you will be put into separate tents. Rickie, your in A-tent. Lizzy, you in D-tent. Lizzy, this will be your tent leader." Mr. Sir pointed to a slightly younger man with brown hair and beard. And, in Lizzy's own words, he looked like a right Muppet.

"The name's Mr. Pencanceski. It's easy to remember, Pen-dance-ski. The hole you dig needs to be five feet deep and five feet diameter. Use the shovel as a ruler. Here's the D-tent." the two walked in and she felt all eyes on her.

"Hey Mom, what's a girl doin with ya?" a black dude with coke bottle glasses and a bandana on his head spoke up.

"This here is Lizzy. She'll be staying here with you guys. I'm sure she'll be alright, but I want no trouble, and although she doesn't need one I'll make Zero her mentor. You'll be sleeping here next to Zero. I'll leave you to get to know each other." and with that 'Mom' left. Lizzie sat on the cot.

"Let me guess. X-Ray, Armpit, Zig-Zag, Magnet, Squid, Zero and Caveman." The guys looked at her with there mouths wide open. What she had said was a little random, but the fact that she already knew there names was amazing. Mom and Mr. Sir couldn't have told her, they only use there real names.

"Hey, how'd you know?" X-Ray looked at her.

"I don't know…" she looked thoughtfully. "I just get things right a lot. A mind reader I guess you could call me."

"You sure she's not a spy for the warden." Zig-Zag whispered. Lizzy heard and laughed out loud. Zero and caveman where trying, and failing, to hide there laughter.

"Oh, buy. Talk about acute paranoia. Look, if I find a spy for the warden I'll let you be the first to know." the others, including Zig-Zag, started to laugh a little too.

"So what's a girl like you doin' here?" Armpit asked, lying on his cot.

"Where are you from anyway?" Squid spoke up.

"I'm from Northeast England."

"Home of the Geordies." the boys whooped and started doing impressions of Geordie slang.

"Hya man." Lizzy huffed, but still smiling. "But yea. I was with me cousin. Every night she drags es out with her so she has 'proof' that she asn't been out drinkin with her mates, but she always does. I live with me uncle ya see. Me parents died ages ago. She has a really bad temper and that night her friends got hammered and forced me to drink a bottle of cherry lambrini. One of 'er mates tried to feel her up and they started a knife fight. I got caught in the middle of it. She turned on me. I grabbed the blade and it cut my hand, when she tried to stab me. When the police came she said that it was my knife, and since it had my fingerprints on the knife they believed her and they sent us both here because she had used the knife and we had both had alcohol." she explained whilst putting on an exagerated accent.

"So none of this is your fault?" Caveman asked. Lizzy just nodded. "Know the feeling."

The group lay down, turning off the light. But no one could sleep.

"This is annoying." X-Ray groaned, turning to face his comrades.

"Did they give is a drug or something… or caffeine?" Zig-Zag mumbled sleepily.

"I can't sleep ether." Lizzy said, sitting up. Everyone sat or lay where they could see each other.

"What do you normally do to go to sleep?" Magnet asked the young girl.

"Well. I read, or do maths homework," the guys all chuckled in amusement. "or…"

"Or what?" Armpit raised an eyebrow.

"Or, I sing to myself." she looked away.

"So sing."

"But I'm not that good-" she looked away.

"So? It's as good a chance as any." the boys all lay back down.

Lizzy could see the stars through a hole in the tent, right above her. She smiled, thinking of the right words. The voice that she claimed to have was nothing on the real thing. Her voice was perfect. Like an angel. The boys had unshed tears in there eyes.

Whistle down the wind, let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain, light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary

Howl at the stars, whisper when your sleeping
I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping

Make it clear and strong, so the whole night long
Every signal that you send, until the very end
I will not abandon you my precious friend

So try and stem the tide, then you'll raise a banner
Send a flare up in the sky, try to burn a torch
And try to build a bonfire
Every signal that you send, until the very end, I'm there

So whistle down the wind, for I have always been right there

As the song ended everyone in the entire camp fell asleep. She didn't know it, but everyone in the camp heard her voice ringing in the slight breeze blown through the night. Zero's face was slightly blushing, and a small smile on his lips.

Sorry if it was a little rubbish. Plz R+R. Hope you liked it. Hurry back!
