After lunch Kari decided to sit outside on the hammock. She carefully balanced herself, not wanting to repeat her previous experience with the hammock. Being short made it an even harder task. She finally settled in the middle and looked out over the land. From a distance she could see the boys she had come across earlier. Kari looked for Zero, but she could not see him. She remembered that he had been chest deep in his hole and was probably finished by now. She sighed and slid off the side of the hammock.
"Kari? Could you be a sweetie and take this down to Mr. Sir's office for me?" Aunt Eva said, standing inside the doorway. She was holding a manila envelope. Kari strode over to her aunt.
"Sure." She said. Aunt Eva smiled and then went back inside. Kari looked at the envelope in her hand, and then to the dingy looking cabin that was Mr. Sir's office. Boy, did she have a long walk.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ten minutes later, Kari reached the camp and made her way to Mr. Sir's office.
"Hey! It's Selena!" A voice said from behind her. She turned around. It was Squid. A few other boys from earlier were with him, but Zero wasn't there. She smiled uneasily at them and then stepped into Mr. Sir's office. Mr. Sir was sitting at his desk, but he wasn't the only one in the room. A man who looked like a guard stood by the door and a boy almost a year or two older than Kari was sitting in a chair in front of Mr. Sir's desk. They all looked up at her as she entered.
"Oh . . . sorry. The Warden asked me to give you this." Kari said. She strode over to Mr. Sir's desk and handed him the envelope.
"Thank you, Karen." Mr. Sir said, taking it. She put on a small smile and exited the office. She hated being called Karen.
"Yo! You! What are you doing on these part of the woods?" Armpit said. Magnet laughed.
"N-nothing much . . . just delivering stuff." She said, shuffling away.
"Where are you going? Stay a while, chica!" Magnet said, walking closer to her as she tried to shuffle away.
"Umm . . . no, I think I have to go." Kari said shakily. She was scared of what they would do. Aunt Eva had told her that they had committed crimes. For all she knew, Magnet could've been put in here for murder, so Kari's first instinct was to back away.
"Hey, bro, I think she's scared of you!" Armpit said, laughing. Magnet smiled and draped an arm over Kari's shoulders.
"Aw, there's no real reason to be scared of me, la chica bonita!" Magnet said, his Mexican accent showing. Kari looked at him uneasily.
"Hey, Magnet!" X-ray said, coming up. "What're you doin'?"
"I'm impressing this la chica bonita with my wonderful encantos." Magnet said. All he got was blank looks. "My charm!" Armpit snorted.
"Well, she doesn't look too impressed to me. Let her go, man. You might get in deep trouble if you go messing around with the Warden's niece." X-ray said. Magnet obeyed and let Kari go. Kari backed away.
"I've gotta go." She said, just as she ran into someone. She turned around but had to tilt her head up because the person she had ran into was rather tall. The boy had curly brown hair and was wearing an orange baseball cap with a cloth in the back to protect the neck from getting sunburn. He smiled down at her.
"Hi." He said. Kari opened and closed her mouth several times before she could find the right thing to say.
"H-hi." She said.
"I thought this was a boys' camp." He said to the short man next to him who Kari recognized from the TV as Mr. Pendanski. He looked at Kari and smiled.
"That's the Warden's niece! She's not a juvenile delinquent like you . . . I don't think . . . Are you a juvenile delinquent, Kari?" Mr. Pendanski said.
"No, Mr. Pendanski." She said, now nervous at the thought of being near another lawbreaker. Stanley smiled.
"Well, let me introduce you to your tent, Stanley. Why don't you come along, Kari? You can make friends!" Mr. Pendanski said, smiling like it was the most wonderful idea in the world. Kari felt that it would've been rude to refuse, so she went with them over to D-tent.
"Ah, so your back for more of my charms, I see!" Magnet said as she entered the tent behind Mr. Pendanski and Stanley.
"Now, Jose, don't scare her." Mr. Pendanski said, causing the boys to laugh. Kari looked around the tent at everyone and noticed that Zero was lying on a cot at the back of the tent, staring at the ceiling. Kari turned red. Mr. Pendanski then proceeded to introduce everyone by their real names, and in turn they told Stanley their nicknames. Zero was the last one mentioned.
"Here's little Zero! He's called that because he's got nothing in his head!" Mr. Pendanski said, ruffling Zero's hair. Kari inhaled deeply to stop herself from yelling at Mr. Pendanski. These people and their exaggerations!
"Yo, somethin' wrong, Kari?" Squid asked, noticing her expression. She cleared her face of any bad expression.
"No. I'm fine." She said, looking up at him because she was shorter. In fact, she must've been shorter than everyone in the whole camp. She saw movement from the back of the tent and looked to see that Zero had slowly sat up when he heard her voice and was now gazing at her, his eyes seeming to widen. She blushed and then looked at the ground to try and hide her face.
"Alright, Stanley, I'll leave you here now. I hope you'll have pleasant experience at Camp Green Lake!" Mr. Pendanski said, walking out of the tent. There was an awkward silence.
"Umm . . . I'll be going now . . . its getting late." Kari said, waving at everyone before walking out of the tent. Zero looked slightly disappointed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That night, Kari recorded in her journal what had been weighing on her mind for the past few hours. She had a Celine Dion CD playing in the background, and listened to the lyrics of the song.
*Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight; Someone's thinking of me, and loving me tonight.*
Kari sighed and fell over backwards onto her pillow. She couldn't have a crush on Zero! He broke the law! Kari grabbed a small cushion on her bed and started whacking herself on the head repeatedly until Aunt Eva came to stand at the doorway, raising an eyebrow. Kari then settled into her bed and fell asleep.
