Here I am.
McKenna Dean, 15 year old sophomore from Dallas. Sitting on a Stained bed in an orange tent at a boys correctional facility. Yes, that's right. Boys. I am a girl, why I was sent to this place, I have NO idea.
I was sent here for putting my boyfriend in the hospital. Well, I guess now he's an ex-boyfriend, but that's beside the point. Only, the fact was that he was drunk and was trying to go a little too far with me, if you know what I mean, was "irreverent" to the fact I bashed his head in. The judge asked me why I didn't run away or call 911 or anything but hurting him, I sat in shock as I thought that there was know way this man could ever know what it was like to finally get the guy you've always dreamed of, go out, have a wonderful time and then have him come over and try to rape you. Yeah I'd like to see him try to calmly get to a phone or run away while a drunken 150+ lb. football playing guy is pushing you down onto a couch. So I was sent to Camp Green Lake for 2 years.
While I was sitting down thinking of all that, I realized that this was my first day here and I wanted to meet some of the people here. I stood up and brushed off my canvas jumpsuit tied around my waist and my black tank top, I wiped the tears that I didn't realize had fallen.
I walked outside and all I saw was... dirt. And holes...
Then a thought hit me... I had NO idea where I was supposed to go. There was no one in sight and there were so many tents. I walked around a little bit, thinking about what life would be like in here, what the boys would be like, when all of a sudden there was no more ground! I had fallen into a hole. Perfect.
"AHHHHHH" Someone yelled. I had fallen on a guy while they were digging said hole. I jumped off of them and stumbled to the side. The boy had blond hair that was standing up at all sides.
"I'm Sorry, I didn't see this hole" I said flustered and embarrassed.
The boy got up and looked at me closely.
"YOU'RE A GIRL" He cried out loudly.
"Um, yes. My name is McKenna, I'm new here, I'm sorry for falling into your hole." I said, getting the feeling that I would have to say this over and over, before I would be forgiven. "You can call me Kenni, what tent are you in"
"My name is ZigZag, you can call me ZigZag, and I am in Dtent." He said, still looking me over as if I was an alien.
"I am in Dtent too" I said"I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other." Oh, no. did that sound like I was flirting with him? I really could care less if I didn't have another crush or boyfriend again.
"Oh. Do you want to get out of my hole now? I'm done with it." He said finally looking me square in the face.
"Um, okay..." I said looking around, I was only a few inches taller than the hole, and I couldn't think of any way I would get out. "How"
"Like this" He said climbing out with ease.
I tried to copy him but ended up falling down.
"Here, give me your hand." ZigZag said, reaching out his.
I grabbed it and worked my way to the surface.
"Thanks a lot" I said, truly grateful. I tried to remember what I had been doing out here anyways. "Could you show me around"
"Sure, just let me shower and I'll give you the tour."
I walked back to the tent I had come from, checking for holes all along the way. I sat down and decided now was as good of a time as any to unpack. I pulled out a fitted sheet and put it down over the mattress, then another sheet over that. I laid out some books, A few toiletries, and most importantly, my mp3 player and extra batteries. I was lucky that since I was a girl, my stuff didn't have to be checked.
"Okay, are you ready" I jumped at the sound of Zig-Zag's voice and followed him out of the tent.

Okay, that was it. The first chapter of my first REAL story.
Tell me what you think, what could/should be down to make it better.
Thanks,
Sammy!
