Chapter 2:

For the rest of that night, Zigzag could not get the image of a girl with dirty blonde medium length hair walking around the desert out there aimlessly. Waking up much earlier than the other D-tent members, Zigzag stood up and walked out of the cabin. As he leaned against the wooden railing he stole a quick glance over the camp. He knew that she was out there somewhere; he wasn't imagining things as much as the other guys say he is. Seeing a sudden movement out of the corner of his right eye, he turned his head towards that direction which happened to be towards the warden's cabin. He quickly hid behind the flap of the tent as he noticed the headlights of a black SUV were pulling away from the cabin and turning onto the road. Leaving a small crack open in the flaps of the tent, he tried as hard as he could to see who was driving the SUV. But it was too dark for his eyes to make out the outline of the driver. If only he could move up closer than maybe he could…

"Zigzag what the hell man?" A voice asked startling Zigzag, causing him to close the then tent's flaps as he turned around to face his tent mates.

"Thought I heard a snake." Zigzag muttered as he glanced back towards Barfbag, as he made his way over towards his cot.

"Oh." Barfbag muttered just as he fell back onto his cot and back into a deep sleep. Shaking his head, Zigzag laid back down on his cot and stared up at the ceiling of the tent.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard his wakeup call.

Feeling the sun's death rays on his skin, Barfbag just kept on digging his hole. His stomach was growling as usual during this time of day. Just as he threw some dirt into his pile he heard the familiar sound of the truck driving on the lakebed. Looking up he noticed the truck pulling to a stop, next to their holes.

"Mom." X-ray called from his hole as climbed out of it.

"Good afternoon D-Tent, how has this marvelous day been for you?" The man referred to as mom asked, as he tipped back his too large of a hat, revealing his lifeguard sun blocked nose.

"Um, not marvelous." Armpit stated as he lunged himself up out of his hole with some effort.

"I'm sorry to hear that Theodore." Mom replied back as his eyes began to scan the other holes and boys getting in line to receive their lunch, which was until he noticed one, happened to be missing.

"Where's Ricky?" He asked suddenly causing the other boys to turn around and look for Zigzag.

"ZIG!" Squid called out as he rolled his toothpick to the other side of his mouth.

"Man, come on! LUNCH is here!" Armpit hollered from his spot in line.

Walking around, Barfbag kept glancing down in the holes looking for Zigzag.

"Found him!" He called out after a few minutes of wondering around. A few seconds later, the rest of D-tent were surrounding Barfbag and were peering down into Zigzag's hole.

"Man he's sleeping!" Magnet muttered with an annoyed groan following after.

"Get yo ass up! I'm hungry!" Armpit stated in a very loud and somewhat angry voice causing Zigzag to jerk awake.

"Theodore! That is NOT being nice to your neighbor!" Mom exclaimed from the truck as the other boys began to walk back towards their spots in lines.

"But I'm hungry Mom!" Armpit stated while throwing an icy glare towards Zigzag who was half awake as he walked towards the line.

"What kept you up so late?" Barfbag asked as he was sitting near his hole as the boys ate their lunch.

"I was uh, not tired." Zigzag muttered causing Barfbag to give a sarcastic look as he replied, "Right."

"You were thinking about that girl?" Squid asked with a smirk as he raised his eyebrow.

Ignoring Squid, Zigzag glanced back towards the camp and the warden's cabin.

"THE WARDEN?!" Barfbag asked while laughing soon after and causing the other boys to jerk their heads towards Zigzag with appalled looks on their faces.

"No! I saw a black SUV there last night." Zigzag muttered to where only Barfbag and Squid could hear.

"An SUV?" Squid asked in confusion, which only resulted in Zigzag nodding as the other boys went back to their lunches.

"Maybe it was the FBI." Barfbag mentioned just before he bit into his graham cracker.

"Or, some really bad kid who like murdered someone." Squid interjected as he began to think of various other excused for the black SUV being at Camp Green Lake.

"I was uh, thinking that maybe it had to do something with the girl." Zigzag muttered causing the other two to look up at Zigzag.

"Not this again." Squid drawled out in his thick country accent as he stood up and walked back to his hole.

"What again?" Magnet asked as he began digging his hole.

"The Girl." Squid replied as he jumped into his hole.

"Wait, you mean Zigzag's dream girl?" Armpit asked over hearing the conversation, causing Zigzag to sigh loudly as Barfbag just sat there eating his lunch.

"I'm not dreaming this! I actually saw her!" Zigzag exclaimed as he picked up his shovel and bean to dig.

"You know what? The less you babies argue the longer our asses will be out there digging these holes! So shut the hell up!" X-ray called out from his hole causing a silence to fell over the other boys.

It was like he was their leader, the authority figure of D-tent. Each tent had their own authority figure. A-tent's leader was Alpha, B-tent's leader was Mug, C-tent's leader was Bronze. And F-tent's leader was Slick. Some would describe the camp's tents as gangs, and each would protect their turf, or well tent members. Each tent was classified by how dangerous the boys were. As for D and F they are the least dangerous so they don't need any babysitters to watch over them while they dig like the other tents do.

Slowly but surely, the boys of D-tent finished their hole digging for the day. They went back to their tent and were happy that it was their free time. Barfbag was lying on his cot with his eyes closed, hoping to get some rest.

"Barfbag! You, me, Magnet and Zig in pool?" Squid asked causing Barfbag to open only one of his eyes, as he replied, "Nah man, I'm good." Seeing that Barfbag didn't want to be bothered, Squid just shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the tent.

Barfbag was too tired to play pool since Zigzag woke him up early this mourning. It wasn't until a few seconds after Squid walked out of the tent that Barfbag fell asleep.

By the time Barfbag woke up, he didn't even realize that he missed dinner until he noticed that it was already night and the rest of the members of his tent were already asleep. After several attempts of trying to go back to sleep, Barfbag gave up and decided to go sit on the porch outside of their tent.

Staring out into the night, he really felt the craving for a smoke right about now. As he tried to push that craving away he began tapping his foot lightly against the wooden post next to the tent. If only he didn't get caught that one night at the party, he would never be in the position that he is now. He also wouldn't be worrying about his little sister dropping out of school, since his parents were oblivious to the lives of their children. That was one thing he kept away from his friends in D-tent, his family. He couldn't stand to endure the ridicule that they would give him for weeks on end. He had to keep his pride here, live up to the reputation that was assumed about him.

Barfbag was soon brought out of his thoughts as he heard the shrill distant scream of a girl. Quickly rising to his feet, he jumped off of the porch and landed swiftly on the ground as he saw a flash go off in the distance.

"What the hell?" He muttered to himself as he took a few steps forward to get a better look.

"Barfbag What do you think your doing?" A man with a cowboy hat and a beer belly asked as he walked over towards D-tent.

"I, uh, I just um, had to go to the bathroom Mr. Sir." Barfbag replied as he stole a quick glance towards the area where the scream came from.

"Well uh, um, get back to bed!" Mr. Sir exclaimed while mocking Barfbag at the same time.

"Yes, Mr. Sir." Barfbag muttered as he turned around while throwing quick glances towards where the scream came from, before walking into the tent.

As Barfbag began walking back towards his cot, the only thought running through his head was, "Maybe Zigzag was right!"
