The girls froze. A dirty black mop of curly hair emerged from under the boat, and as the person looked up they saw that it was a boy around Chessa's age.
"Hello." Farrah said as if she were talking to a puppy.
"Was this the dude you saw?" Catriona asked Chessa. She shook her head. They all looked at the boy, who looked at all of them with a bewildered look on his face.
"Who are you?" He asked. He voice shook a little like he was scared.
"Hi. I'm Emera and these are my friends. We're not from around here. Could you tell us where the nearest town is?" Emera said. He looked at her like she was crazy.
"There's no town." He said.
"No town?" He said nothing.
"This is so...perfect." Tiena said sarcastically. Kanika stepped up.
"Hol' up. You say there's no town, but where'd you come from?" She asked the boy.
"Camp Green Lake." He said.
"Ooh! A summer camp! How fun!" Deva said.
"It's not a summer camp. It's a camp for criminal boys."
"Criminals!?" Farrah shrieked, stepping back form him.
"Boys!" Kanika and Tiena yelled with glee.
"Hold up! You're an escaped prisoner?" Emera said. He didn't say anything. "You DON'T have the right to remain silent." Tari rolled her eyes and smoothed out her black wristbands.
"You're not a cop, you know, Em?" She said. Emera turned and glared. "Perhaps he could lead us back to the camp an—"
"I can't go back. I WON'T go back." He said firmly with a very defiant expression. The sun rose higher in the sky and he shrank back into the shade of the boat. The girls looked at each other and shrugged.
"Guess we'll go...this way." Emera pointed straight ahead from the right side of the boat. They walked for a little while and then stopped for a rest. Georgia had never been this hot.
"I'm thirsty." Deva stated.
"I GOTTA GO PEE!" Tiena yelled in agony.
"Go, then!" Catriona said.
"Eww! Not in front of you, ya perv!" Tiena shot back. Catriona rolled her eyes and smirked.
"It's not like you've got something I haven't got."
"We should dig to find water." Farrah said.
"Yeah, and we'll use you as the shovel!" Kanika said sarcastically. "We don't have anything to dig with!"
"Shh." Tari said, shielding her eyes and looking of towards the distance. "Someone's coming." The others looked and saw it too.
"Oh, snaps, that's a tall dude!" Farrah said. "Hide!"
"Yes, hide! Let's camouflage ourselves!" Tiena said, hopping up and down because of her predicament.
"Well, if he tries to hurt us, we'll gang up on him." Emera said
"And if that fails, Tiena shall pee on him."
"...You disturb me."
"Hello." Farrah said as if she were talking to a puppy.
"Was this the dude you saw?" Catriona asked Chessa. She shook her head. They all looked at the boy, who looked at all of them with a bewildered look on his face.
