Chapter Seven

The next few days, things were very different between the two of us. Sometimes I would catch him watching me and we would smile at each other and turn away. Kara teased me when she saw it, but I didn't care. I kind of liked Squid, and I figured he liked me too, though he hadn't said anything about it.

I decided to sit down and write a letter to my parents, as much as I knew it was useless. Here's what it said:

Dear Mom,

Well, you'll be happy to know that I've settled in at Camp Green Lake. The adults here are really keeping all

the kids in line. I've been toeing the line and I think I might even get out early. Well, I'll write again soon. Hoping to

hear from you both soon.

Love, Margaret.
