Chapter 1: The Beginning
Kylie was popping gum very loudly. The girls around her were laughing quietly. They knew that Kylie was doing it on purpose, just to annoy the guard. But the guard did nothing. He was basically trying to annoy her.
Kylie was on her way to Camp Green Lake. She and the girls around her have known each other for months. They had each committed a crime, and the funny thing was, it was at the same time. So, they were all sent to camps to build character. But, they didn't last two weeks in just one camp. They were so bad that they were kicked out of all the girl character building camps in the country within four months. Well, actually, they weren't very bad. All they had done was pick pocketing or stealing. It's just, they hadn't liked any of the camps they went to, so when they decided to leave, they acted terrible and would get kicked out. And now, the reason they were going to Camp Green Lake was it was the only camp that would accept them. And not only that, but it was a boys camp.
Then the bus came to a stop, and the guard said grumpily, "All right. Get out of the bus in single file. Come on, hurry up."
The girls got up and lined up in their normal order. First was Kylie, who had bleached blonde hair, which she wore in a bun, and it showed the tattoo on the back of her neck and her ears, that had earrings up and down both of them, and she was wearing a high shirt that showed her pierced belly button. Next was Chelsea, who was Chinese, and she had black hair and brown highlights and her nose was pierced. Next was Audrey who had golden blonde hair, which was tied at the top of her head. Then there was Francis, who was also Chinese, and she had black hair which she had down. After her was Ashley, who had white blonde hair, was a bit chubbier than the rest, and she wore her hair up. Then there was Adrianna, who had brown hair and blonde highlights, which she wore in a bandana. And, finally, there was Jessica. She had brown-red hair which she wore up. She looked very nervous and was very quiet. All of them were handcuffed.
Kylie peeked out of the window. All of the boys were lined up, waiting for the girls to come off the bus, and there was also a man there too. Kylie led the way off the bus, and the girls lined up in front of the boys against the bus. The guard came around and started taking off the girls handcuffs. When he got to Kylie, who was last, he ordered her to spit out her gum.
"You want my gum? Okay, here's my gum." Kylie said before she spit her gum right into his face. The girls started to crack up silently, but the boys laughed quite loudly.
Then the man spoke up. "All right girls. I am Mr. Sir. Now, before I excuse you, I will be introducing the people here at Camp Green Lake."
Kylie stifled her laughter at his name. But Mr. Sir saw her.
"Is there something funny?" He asked her.
"Yeah, there is." Kylie was a very tough girl.
"Oh really? What's funny?"
"Your name."
Mr. Sir glared at her but he couldn't physically do anything to her, so he continued. "Now, here is Dr. Pendanski. He will be your counselor. And here are the boys."
It was now that Kylie realized that all of the boys were in groups of seven. They were A, B, C, D, and E-Tent.
"All right. Now this bunch here," Mr. Sir pointed to D-Tent, "will be your mentors. They will be giving you a tour of the camp and all of that other stuff the mentors do."
Kylie eyed D-Tent. They were in a line just like the girls were. First there was a black boy with very dirty glasses. Next to him was another black boy who was overweight. Then there was a boy with a hat on and a toothpick in his mouth. After him was a boy with very wild hair. After him was a Mexican boy with a bandana. Next was a boy with a red hat. And lastly, there was a little black boy with wild, curly hair.
After Mr. Sir excused them, the girls followed D-Tent. They entered an empty tent that Kylie figured had been built for them, because it was very clean.
"All right. Pick a bed and put your stuff in those crates next to the bed." The boy with the dirty glasses said. The girls did so, and when they were done, they looked back at the boys.
"So, anyway, I'm X-Ray," The dirty glasses pointed to himself, "That's Armpit," He pointed to the overweight boy, "That's Squid," He pointed to the boy with the toothpick, "That's Zigzag," He pointed to the boy with the wild hair, "That's Magnet," He pointed to the Mexican boy, "That's Caveman," He pointed to the boy with the red hat, "And that's Zero." He pointed to the little black boy.
Kylie nodded and then said, "Well, we're Kylie, Chelsea, Audrey, Francis, Ashley, Adrianna, and Jessica. She pointed to all of them in turn and the boys nodded.
There was silence. Then X-Ray asked, "So, do you guys want nicknames?"
The girls looked at Kylie. She was their leader.
"No." Kylie answered him.
"Why not?" Squid asked.
"For the same reason you guys want them."
"Huh?" Zigzag asked.
Kylie rolled her eyes exasperatedly. "Why do you guys want nicknames?"
"Just because we do." Zigzag said.
"Exactly. We just don't want nicknames."
"Um. okay." X-Ray said. "So, what do you want to do?"
"I want to ask you something. Why do you guys have to wear orange jumpsuits?" Adrianna asked.
"Well, they're sorta like our uniforms, I guess." Armpit said.
"Yeah, you have them too. They're in those bags Mr. Sir gave you." X-Ray told them.
The girls looked in the bags Mr. Sir had given them before they were excused, and took out an orange jumpsuit.
"Wait! I have to wear this?" Chelsea exclaimed.
"I know! It's so tacky!" Audrey said, horrified.
"I know. I might as well take out my belly button ring. It's not like it will ever show." Kylie said sadly as she took out her belly button ring.
"So. how did you guys end up here?" X-Ray asked cautiously.
"Well, basically, all of us were caught stealing." Kylie told him.
"What about you guys?" Francis asked.
"Well, I was also caught stealing." X-Ray said.
"I was caught trying to break into a movie theater." Armpit said.
"I was trying to break into a rich dude's house." Squid said.
"I was trying to fake my driver's license." Zigzag said.
"I stole a dog." Magnet said.
"I stole a pair of shoes." Caveman said.
The last boy remained silent.
"Um, hello it's your turn." Kylie said to him.
"Nice try," Armpit said. "He won't talk to you. He only talks to Caveman."
"Why?" Ashley asked.
"No idea." X-Ray told her.
"I stole some shoes." Zero said quietly.
The boys were shocked. "Whoa! Zero! You talked!" Squid exclaimed.
"Hey, what else can you do, man?" Magnet asked him.
Zero remained silent again.
Dr. Pendanski then came in. "Boys, you have to get back to your tent. And girls, you are now known as G-Tent. Okay?"
"Okay." The girls chorused.
The boys said good-bye to the girls and exited the tent.
The girls climbed into bed and turned out the light.
"So, who do you think is hot?" Adrianna asked through the dark.
"Let's go in a circle," Kylie said. "We'll start with you Adrianna, since it was your idea."
"Zigzag."
"Squid." Francis said.
"Armpit." Ashley said.
"X-Ray." Chelsea said.
"Caveman." Audrey said.
"Magnet." Kylie said.
Then silence.
"Oh, come on Jessica. You must think someone is hot! It doesn't matter if it's someone who has already been said. We won't get mad." Kylie said soothingly.
For some reason, Jessica had always been more comfortable with Kylie then anybody else. They had noticed that when Jessica would only talk to her and would always choose a bed next her and always stayed close to her. Kylie didn't mind. She had a feeling that something terrible had happened to Jessica before Kylie had met her, and she hoped that Jessica would tell her when the time comes.
Jessica just looked at Kylie after she said that and then whispered, "Zero." Kylie was the only one that heard.
"Zero? Really? Well, he is kinda cute." Kylie said. All of the girls agreed.
Jessica smiled a little and then turned away.
"Look, let's go to sleep. I heard that we have to get up at four." Kylie told them. They exchanged good-nights and then quickly drifted off to sleep.
Okay, I hope you liked! Pleaz R&R! No flames! Thanx!
