Stanley Yelnats was lying on his lumpy cot trying to sleep. He was very sore after digging his first hole. The rest of the members of D-Tent were already asleep. Finally, he could resist the lull of sleep no longer.
Stanley woke with a start when he heard the alarm to wake up. The rest of his tent mates were up and getting dressed. They shuffled out the tent slowly. When out on the lake Mr. Sir showed each were to dig their next hole.
At the same time a dusty yellow bus with black letters the said "Texas Youth Authority" across the side was heading toward Camp Green Lake. It was filled with one driver, two armed guards, and seven girls all handcuffed to their seats. Some friends, some enemies, some crazy ones too, all in the same bus. Their lives are about to get turn upside down as with the boys of Camp Green Lake.
A few hours later Squid sighed covered with dirt. He just finished his hole. Squid stared at it for a moment then spat into it. Zigzag walked over. He had also finished his hole and done the same process as Squid. "You heading back?" Zigzag asked. Squid had nodded, so they walked back to camp together. The yellow bus drove up. The boys didn't see it drive down the road. Well, they weren't paying attention.
"Hey look! New kids." Squid pointed at the bus. They followed the bus. Zig took a swig of water right when the first girl stepped out. It just happened to be Liz. Zigzag gagged and spit his water out.
"It's-it's-it's a girl!!!" he yelled. Squid's jaw dropped as the rest of them walked out single file. The second to the last girl whose name was Lizzy, ran up to Liz silently. They were nodding their heads every so often. Liz stopped when she saw Zigzag and Squid staring. Lizzy bumped into her and followed Liz's eyes and saw Squid and Zigzag. Liz shook her head and continued walking. Lizzy laughed to herself. At the end of the line a similar event was happening with Shaily and Chelsea. The guard yelled at them to move it when they stopped so they did. The seven girls were herded into Mr. Sir's office.
"Now, I am Mr. Sir." a criminal looking man snapped at the girls. A girl named Chelsea, not Shaily's friend but a different one, snickered. Mr. Sir turned heel and glared at her. She quickly retained a straight face. "You girls will be in G-Tent. There is no counselor to G-Tent yet. You must first choose an already full tent. A through D. Pick one. NOW!" No one wanted to talk. Lizzy elbowed Liz in the ribs.
"OW!!! D-!" Liz shut up. She glared at Lizzy who grinned.
"D-Tent it is. So your counselor will be Mr. Pendanski. He's out filling water jugs. Follow me. You need to get your uniforms, then I'll show you to your tent," Mr. Sir brushed through the line of girls and walked out the door. The girls followed him afraid of being yelled at. Or worse.
Mr. Sir went over to a stack of brand new uniforms. He looked at the girls and threw them each two orange long-sleeved jumpsuits that he thought might be their size. Then Mr. Sir looked at his clipboard which hat files of all the girls on it. He gave them each a pair of brand new black leather lace- up combat boots that were the size that was on their file. Why the files had shoe size, who knows?
"Those are your uniforms. We have no tee shirts for you so you must wear one of your own. The first set is your work clothes. The second set is for relaxation. The wash is done every three days. Then, your relaxation clothes become your work clothes and vice versa," Mr. Sir grabbed a shovel, "You are to dig one hole each day, five feet deep and five foot in diameter. Your shovel is you measurin' stick. The longer it takes you to dig, the longer you're out in the hot sun. Remember that," he tossed the shovel to the ground. Mr. Sir turned and motioned for the girls to follow.
They passed six dark green canvas tents. Each of them had a white letter spray painted onto it. There were no campers in the F-Tent; it was where the counselors slept. Mr. Sir showed them a newer looking tent with a capitol 'G' on it.
"This is your tent. Unpack and relax until Pendanski comes," he spit out a sunflower seed shell and walked away. The girls entered the tent.
Liz threw her stuff onto the last cot on the left side. Lizzy put her things on the cot that was farthest back against the wall that faced the door. Shaily put her stuff on the middle left cot and her friend Chelsea was on the first left. Libby had the cot that as across from Chelsea. The other Chelsea was across from Shaily and Ashley claimed the cot across from Liz.
"Who are you?" Liz asked no one in particular.
"Shaily."
"Chelsea"
"You know who I am, fool!" Lizzy laughed.
"I'm Libby," Libby said shyly.
"Ashley. Why?"
"I'm Chelsea!!! You wanna meet Joe?" "Um." Lizzy looked at her oddly, "No thanks."
"What are your crimes?" Ashley asked.
"Arson. I lit desks on fire at school," Lizzy said grinning.
"I was at a park. I set the trash on fire." Liz said monotonously.
"Shoplifting." Libby said quietly.
"Well, Joe came out and did bad stuffs. I was blamed 'cause everybody thought I was crazy but it's all Joe's fault." the crazy Chelsea said.
"Shoplifting. But Shaily here did some weird things." Chelsea, Shaily's friend, said.
"Hey! All I did was graffiti a bridge and set a car on fire!!!" Shaily said indigently.
"Well, I set a garage on fire by accident. Well, sort of." Ashley replied after hearing everyone else.
"Seems like we have alotta pyromaniacs," Liz said smiling.
"Yup!" Shaily cheered.
"You know, it's confusing with these double names. I think we need nicknames," Ashley decided.
"Uh, maybe." was the reply she got.
Liz sighed and stared at the tent ceiling, "What time is it?"
"I think it's 1 pm, but I'm not positive," said Chelsea who was standing next to Shaily.
"Hey, uh, Crazy Girl. You the one named Chelsea or Joe or whatever. We're gonna call you Joe so we don't get you and her mixed up," Lizzy yelled.
"Okay!" 'Joe' exclaimed, "Joe might get mad though."
"Whatever." Lizzy mumbled.
"What do you guys want to do for another two hours?" Liz asked.
"Why?"
"Well, if it's 1, the boys should be done around." Liz thought for a moment, "1:30 I think. And if it takes a half an hour to get back they'll be here by 2." "That's an hour, genius!" Lizzy accused her friend.
"I wasn't finished! So, if this Pendanski guy, or whatever, is filling canteens he'd have to go to all five groups. Which would take, if there are seven boys to a tent and there are five tents and it to a minute to fill each canteen, 35 minutes."
"Right, but we saw those two cute guys when we got off the bus," Shaily giggled.
"It would STILL take around half an hour, and so that counselor dude'll be here around 3," Liz declared.
"Right." Chelsea looked at her oddly.
"That man named Mr. Sir told us to unpack and change into our uniforms," Libby said so quietly that you almost couldn't hear. She was so quiet during the whole time they were arguing about what to do they almost forgot she was there.
"What?" Lizzy asked.
"Mr. Sir, he said for us to change and unpack." Libby said a little louder.
"Hmm, you're right. Any objections?" Lizzy looked around. Some heads shook and others replied verbally but there weren't any objections. So, the girls all put their things in one of the seven crates and changed into the orange jumpsuits. Since the Camp didn't give them white t-shirts to wear under the suits they wore one of their own shirts. It was about 2 when everyone was set. But Liz had disappeared after she had changed.
"Anyone have anything to do?" Shaily asked lying down on her cot.
Liz walked in and grinned dangerously. She pulled a deck of cards out of her pocket, "B.S. anyone?"
"Where did you get those?" Lizzy asked slyly.
"Oh you know. Around. I stole 'em from the boys' tent!" Everyone burst into laughter.
"Wait, what about those two cute boys?" Chelsea asked.
"This short black kid with a 'fro said they were in the showers and he wouldn't say that I took them because some kid named Magnet or something like that stole 'em or something like that," Liz said, "It took a lot of pestering to get that kid t talk though. I thought he was mute when I first saw him."
"Whatever!!! Let's just PLAY!!!" 'Joe' exclaimed.
"Jeez! Don't be so loud. I'm dealing," Liz sat down on the ground. The other girls followed suit and sat in a circle as Liz passed out the cards.
"Who's going first?"
"I will," Shaily said. She put to card from her hand face down, "Two Aces."
"Pass," it was Chelsea's turn, "Three Twos."
"B.S.!!!" 'Joe' yelled. Chelsea flipped over the cards laughing, "Humph!" 'Joe picked up the five cards.
"Two Threes," Liz played the cards.
"Pass," Lizzy's turn, "One five."
"Pass."
It went on and on, passing and accusing, picking up cards and placing cards. They actually played about five games of B.S. when they got tired of it.
"This is so boring," Lizzy complained.
"Yeah, let's play something else." Shaily whined.
"Um. Blackjack? Poker? Rummy? War? Solitaire? Go Fish? Slap Jack? Spoons?" Liz was naming card games.
"Nah, I don't really want to play cards anymore," Lizzy said lazily and flopped onto her cot.
"Can I please see them?" Libby asked shyly.
"Uh, sure." Liz handed them over.
"Poker anyone?" Libby asked.
"I'm in," Chelsea said.
"So am I!!!" 'Joe' exclaimed.
"Would you guys like to play?" Libby asked politely.
"Sure," Ashley said.
"No thanks. Hey Liz, guess what I brought!!!" Lizzy grinned.
"Hmm. Let's see. Candy?" "You bet!!! Want Skittles or M&M's?"
"Gimme the Skittles, Lizzy!!!" Lizzy tossed a bag of Skittles to Liz.
"Can I have some candy?" Shaily asked, her mouth watering.
Lizzy swallowed a large bite of a Snickers bar, "Yup! What do you want?"
"What do you have?"
"Anything you can think of!"
"Show me the Spree's!!!!" Shaily grabbed the roll of Spree's Lizzy tossed her and began eating them.
Libby, Chelsea, Ashley, and 'Joe' were halfway through their Poker game; Chelsea was winning, when Mr. Pendanski walked in with a cheesy grin on his face.
"Hello, girls!"
They all froze.
"I'm Mr. Pendanski. I will be your counselor while you're at Camp Green Lake. You've made some bad choices in your life, but that doesn't make you a bad person. I'm here to help you!"
"Yeah right!" Liz coughed so he couldn't understand what she was saying. The girls laughed.
"Since you are all new here you will have mentors. These are the boys in D- Tent. One of them will be your mentor. Please come up when I call your name. Elizabeth?"
"Do you mean Liz?"
"Or Lizzy?"
"Err. Liz," he picked one, "And Shaily please come here." The two walked up rolling their eyes.
"Girls, meet Ricky, he will be your mentor."
"Man, his name's not Ricky, it's Zigzag!" said a thin black boy who was wearing thick dirty glasses.
"Well, Rex, I don't see you introducing people," Pendanski accused.
"Fine I will. Pit you already got Stanley. You Squid, take the blonde and the brunette playing cards."
"Us?" Chelsea and Ashley asked.
"Yeah. Now, Magnet, can you handle not yelling at people in Spanish?"
"I can speak Espanola," Lizzy shouted.
"Fine. Magnet, take her. Zero doesn't talk. I'll take the two that are left," X-ray said.
"All right then. Well it's time for dinner. Boys, please show the girls to the Mess Hall," Mr. Pendanski said and left.
"Come on! Move it!" X-ray bossed.
The girls made it trough dinner silently. They refrained from speaking to the boys at all. So Liz and Shaily had Zigzag for a mentor. Squid lead Chelsea and Ashley. Lizzy and Magnet could both speak Spanish. Armpit already had to be a mentor for Stanley. And, X-ray had taken Libby and 'Joe'. What will happen tomorrow? Who knows? The girls headed back to their tent. None of them ate anything, Lizzy had brought candy and they all ate that instead. The girls entered the tent quietly. Ready to have a meeting.
