Chapter 4: Camp Greenlake
It seemed like they had been driving forever. Emma was all alone in the bus except for the bus driver and a guard. She had nothing to do, she just kept looking out the window. She looked at her watch and thought, "Come on, we have to be here!" At almost that exact moment they turned into, it looked like a old western town! It was very dry, immediately she was thirsty. The guard said, "Were here." Those were the best words she heard on along time she thought to herself, and smiled.
She got off the bus, and there were a lot of people dressed in orange. She heard a few whistles and smirks, she just kept on walking. The guard lead her to a little hut, she walked in. "Hello?" She called out.
"You must be Emma, my name is Mr. Sir" Said the man sitting in the chair.
"Oh, hello Mr. Sir." Said Emma shyly.
"Well , here at Camp Greenlake we dig holes 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide, your shovel is your measuring stick." Said Mr. Sir
"Wow, ok." She said surprised.
"Well, we made a special uniform for you Emma." Laughed Mr. Sir.
"The boys in D-Tent voted on what uniforms should be for a girl, since that is the group you will be staying this." Mr. Sir added.
"Oh, well.." She said, though she was angry that they had already made a different uniform for girls, even though it should be the same so it's equal.
"Here I'll get it." He said as he rummaged through his things. 'Ah, here it is." He said showing it to Emma.
It wasn't that different from the boys, it had two pieces, rather than it all connected and it had an average size skirt that reached could probably reach her knees, with shorts underneath it.
"Oh, well it looks um…good.." She said briefly.
"Yah, so.. (There was a pause, because Mr. Sir spit something out of his mouth that Emma really didn't know at the moment)…when you get back to your tent change out there you'll get two pairs one to wear for digging and one for relaxing time." Mr. Sir said.
"Ok, thank you Mr. Sir." She said softly.
"Now go, and if you want to run away sometime you can.. We have the only water for 100 miles so I don't care you'll just be dead. Said Mr. Sir with a smirk on his face.
"Ok I won't Mr. Sir, bye." She said as she left.
She walked into D-Tent. The first reactions she got were, "Man, it's a girl?" and , "Man look what she's wearing." Emma just ignored it. She introduced herself, smiling, "Hi, I'm Emma."
"Sup, Emma." Said a bunch of them.
"I'm Armpit, this is X-Ray, that's Squid, man that's the Caveman, over there is Zero, Magnets right there, and Zigzag is right there." Said a boy standing to the right of her.
"Is there anywhere to change into uniform?" Asked Emma.
"Yah, right down the hall." Said Zero hurriedly.
"Whoa, what just happened, did Zero talk?" Asked Squid.
"Yeah, really did you Zero? Said X-Ray, "Zero never talks." X-ray added, so Emma would know.
Emma ignored them, "Thanks, Zero." and left.
