"Hey, uhhh, new kid whats up with you?"asked the one they called Armpit. Alan just stuffed his face in his pillow,

"Leave me alone,"He mummbled. They shook thier heads, the new kid was strange. They walked out of the tent, Alan sat up, light headed, he disliked this place and he didn't really like anyone who he had come in contact with that day either. He pulled the toy octopus out of his pocket and threw it in one of the unused crates. He couldn't sleep so he walked out of the tent to look around.

"Hey! New Kid! Come here!"Yelled the one who called himself X-ray. Alan walked up to him,

"What?"He angriley asked.

"Woah, whats wrong wit' you?"X asked, Alan stayed silent.

"All we wanted to know is if ya wanted to hang with us,"The boy smiled as he looked at his two other friends. Alan still stayed silent. They just looked at him and shook thier heads.

"Ya don't talk much do ya?"The one called, Barfbag asked. Alan kinda smirked at that comment, he was the opposite of that, people normally had to get him to keep his mouth shut. He was about to say something until Mr.Pendanski yelled for D-tent to report to him, for the little "chat" they had almost all the time. The four boys walked over,

"Good, you boys know what its time for?OF Course ya do!"He smiled,"Now, lets sit in a circle." They unfolded some fold up chairs and sat around.

"So Alan, your the newest here, why don't you tell us how you got here?"Mr.Pendanski looked at him. Alan looked at them all,

"I was at the wrong place, at the wrong time,"He answered,

"And thats all I'll tell you,"He added, Alan didn't feel like telling his whole story. After he said that Mr.P went around the circle asking wierd questions until it was finally over. Alan walked into the tent.

"Hey, whats with the octopus...Alan?"Asked Barfbag as he glanced into Alans crate. Alan squinted his eyes,

"Nothin', just nothin',"He answered. X-ray looked at him,

"Your such a Squid,"
