The Boys Of D-Tent ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After an hour, Mr. Pendanski came back into the tent with 8 other guys. They were all staring at the girls as if they were from another planet. "Well, girls. These are the boys of D-Tent." Mr. Pendanski said. "Their names are Re-" "How many times do I have to tell you, Mom?" Said a guy that was black and had very dirty glasses. He had broken out of his trance. He looked back at the girls. "The name's X-Ray. And this is Magnet, Twitch, Caveman, Zero, Zig-zag, Squid, and Armpit. Zero doesn't talk much so don't expect him to say 'hi' to you." The boys continued staring. "Yes, well. They all have their little nicknames." Mr. Pendanski said. "Yeah. And soon, you g-girls will have nicknames too," the guy who was called Armpit said. They kept on staring. "What is wrong with you guys?" Christianna asked. "Haven't you seen a girl before? "Maybe they're just stupid." Rebecca whispered to the girls. They giggled. The boys got out of their trance. "Why you little-" Zig-zag yelled. The boys started to go forward, ready to strike at the girls. Suddenly, a bell rang signalling that it was dinner. The girls ran out of the tent before the boys could hurt them. The boys followed. At the D-Tent table at the Mess Hall, the girls sat on one side and the boys sat on the other. As usual, X-Ray was at the end. "So what are you girls in here for anyways? You must have done something really bad." Squid said. None of the girls answered. Instead, they kept looking down at their plates playing with their food. "Are we really supposed to eat this?" Jacqueline asked. The boys nodded. "By the way," Caveman said. "What are your names?" "I'm Jacqueline. This is Rebecca, Emma, Christie, and Christianna." Jacqueline said. "Saaay," X-Ray said to Rebecca. "Rebecca, since you didn't dig a hole today, why don't you give it to someone who did?" He started leaning forward, ready to take the 2 pieces of bread from Rebecca's tray. "Touch it and die!" Rebecca growled. X-Ray stared at her in amazement. All the kids howled with laughter. Even Zero managed a smile. X-Ray slowly went back to his seat.

That night, the girls fell asleep late because of Armpit's snoring. It had only seemed that they closed their eyes for just one minute. Then, all too soon, the bell signalling that it was 4:30 rang.
