I sat on the plane starring out the window at the clouds. My parents had bought me a plane ticket to fly me home to New York city. I took off my thick glasses and rubbed my eyes. I was dead tired but I couldn't sleep. My mind wouldn't let me. All I could think about was what my life was going to be like.
My parents were barely ever home, they traveled alot for buisness. That part really didn't bother me. I was use to being without adults. My old friends would still be there for me, but what I kept wondering, was if I wanted to be there for them.
They were a rough crowd. Drugs and drinking was part of a regular weekend. I didn't want to get back into drugs, that how I got here in the first place. Even though they weren't really drugs, just ground up asprin, I still got busted.
I was already starting to miss my boys from camp. Its weird, when you eat, sleep and dig with a group of guys for that long, they feel like family. Plus I still had that picture of Type crying, ingraved in the back of my mind, I didn't think it would ever leave me.
I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I didn't even realise we had landed. I slid my glasses back on my face as I got off the plane. I was standing by the baggage carousel. I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I turned around to see a smiling face.
Sasha, the name echoed in my head. I had almost completely forgotten. When I had been sent to Camp Green Lake, Sasha and I had been going out. She was beautiful, chocolate coloured skin, with big black eyes that sparkled as she looked at me.
When I used at look at her, my heart would jump but I didn't feel a thing when I looked at her now. My heart belong to Type now.
"Are you deaf? I have been calling your name for the last five minutes." Sasha said laughing as she threw her arms around me.
I hugged her back after a minute but I still felt guilty, like I was betraying Type of something.
"There you are Rex." My mom said coming towards me.
Rex just didn't sound right, it sounded like she was talking about someone else. My name was X-Ray, Rex is who I was before Camp Green Lake.
After hugging my mom we got my bags and walked out to my mom's Sunfire.
I was quiet for the drive home, it still didn't feel right being here. I felt like I should be able to close my eyes for a minute, then open them to see the gang sitting around laughing.
When we got home I brought my bag up to my room. When I came back down my Mom still seemed uncomfortable. She kept fixing her hair or smoothing her shirt. She had been hysterical when I was sent to Camp Green Lake. Sasha never stopped talking, half the time I wasn't even listening. I just kept nodding and saying 'cool' 'wikkid' etc etc.
I went to bed soon after, I didn't go to sleep right away though. I just lay on my back staring at my ceiling. I took off my glass and set them on my night table. Now the room was just a big dark blurr.
"Take a bad boy, make him dig five feet, the dirt in these shovels will give us a beat..." I whispered to the darkness, smiling to myself.
