Zigzag first took me to what he called the "Wreck" Room. It wasn't what I thought it would be. There was one sofa with a TV that only seemed to produce static and steam, A pool table surrounded by a few boys, and a few sets of weights.

We went over to the pool table, where obviously there were some of Zig-Zag's friends.

"Hey, Man! Who's the girl?" a boy asked. The pool game stopped as I got more than one stares.

"I'm McKenna." I replied, knowing these could possibly be my tent-mates.

A tall, black boy wearing a black tank, walked up to me and started listing off the names of the boys in our tent.

'Xray, Armpit, Squid, Zero, and Magnet...?' I thought, 'Wow, these are really weird nicknames!"

"We're about to play some pool, wanna join?" Xray asked, offering me the cue stick.

"Sure. I'm not very good though." I replied, understating the truth. I STUNK at pool.

I took the stick, and did my feeble attempt at 'poking' the balls. I looked around in hope that someone would give me a little help.

"Uh... Can someone help me?" I asked

"Sure" Squid said, with a sly smirk on his face.

Squid walked over and tried to pull the put-his-body-around-mine-to-'help', I wiggled out and said:

"Um, I don't want to play pool anymore. I think I'll watch some TV."

I walked away, wondering why I had just done that. Most girls would have jumped for the chance to be that close to a guy like him.

I sat down next to Zigzag on the couch, all I could see on the TV. was static.

"ZigZag? What's on?" I asked, wondering if he could see what was going on.

"Simpsons. Shh." He responded with a dazed expression on his face.

The Simpsons was my favorite show, but I couldn't see how ZigZag could make sense of it.

Luckily I didn't have to say anything more, because a loud bell started ringing. Being the skittish girl I am, I jumped up and started looking around, saying "What was that!"

"That would be the dinner bell, chica." Magnet said, pointing me toward the door.

I managed to get my bean slop and sit down without saying anything.

The guys in D-tent started talking about what they were going to do once they got out of here. The conversation turned R-rated, and I blushed beet-red.

I cleared my throat, and everyone stared at me.

"Wow. You look like an apple" said Armpit, commenting on my crimson face.

I blushed again, and decided to steer the conversation away from myself.

"What time do we get up tomorrow?"

"4.30."

"A.M.?"

"Um. Yes."

One by one, people started to leave the mess hall. I stood up with my tray, and dumped it in the garbage. As I was walking out of the door, I could hear someone running to catch up with me. I turned around to see who it was. A C-tenter.

"Hey, you wanna come back to my tent?" He said with the same smirk Squid had earlier. I may be a new girl, but I am not completely stupid.

"How about, NO!"

I tried to walk away, toward D-Tent, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me toward him. I twisted his arm, and started to briskly walk toward the nearest familiar face.

"Squid! Squid!" I said frantically, my face red from my 'encounter'.

He turned around and saw me frantically racing toward him.

"Can you help me go back to the Tent?" I asked, quickly explaining what had happened.

"Yeah, sure" Squid said, as if it were I was doing him a favor.

When we got to the tent, I looked around, faced with a new predicament. Changing clothes.

I looked around, hoping someone would get the point, but to no avail. I dropped the orange canvas, and was only left with a black tank, and underwear. I quickly pulled on some sleeping shorts, and took of my tank top to skip on a t-shirt.

After that, I looked around to make sure no one had seen me do this. I saw multiple pairs of eyes staring at me. Had they watched me dress!

"What?" I said in my oh-so-cool way as my cheeks flushed.

They all turned away, except for X-ray.

"Hey! I just thought of your nickname!" He said, a grin on his face. "Red! You know, because of your face!"

Oh, great. I knew my blushing would get me in trouble some day. Well, I guess it's better that something like Squid.

I lay in bed, praying that tomorrow would be a bright and lovely morning.
