"Ah, boys! I see that you've met your new tent mate! Boys of D-Tent! Come here please!" Mr. Pendanski motioned them over, after coming in and briskly grabbing Chanele by the arm and pulling her out of the sinking couch. He then ushered her to just outside the wreck room and was now rounding up the D-tent boys. She just hoped that TV boy wasn't one, when he saw her, the look in his eye sent a shiver down her spine. She quickly snapped herself out of thought when she saw a small boy, he couldn't possibly be over 12 years old, with wild curly hair and coffee-with-creamer colored skin. He sat opposite from her outside the wreck room, stared at her and said nothing. If he was any bigger, Chanele might have felt intimidated. Being distracted by small-boy-big-hair, she didn't notice 5 other boys appear from the wreck room. Mr. Pendanski made them stand like they were in the army and hold their hands in front of them. He then ordered them from shortest to tallest. Then Chanele looked up. In order from smallest to tallest, First was the small boy, then the boy with the thick, dirty spectacles. After him was the Hispanic with the bandana. The fourth spoke to her. "Hey, baby girl," He said with a smirk. He was a big, big black boy. You didn't even notice that he wasn't that tall because of how intimidating he looked. Chanele looked at her feet. The next boy was smirking at her smugly, and she wanted to snatch that t-shirt he used as a doorag and slap him with it. 'Oh, no.'she thought inwardly, looking up at 'Ziggy' who was giving her the same, bewildered and uninviting look of 'who-do-you-think-you-are.' She glared at him, and when she did he nudged the guy beside him and they both started laughing quietly about her. She was about to go over and slap them both when Mr. Pendanski did it for her. He slapped them upside the head and said, "Boys, lets make a good example for the new gu---I mean girl." Then he turned to me with that I'm so happy with my life smile and started naming the boys, starting with the tallest. "This is Ricky, Alan, Theodore, Jose, Rex, and Zero." He looked around, confused and turned to who I knew now as Ricky. "Where's Stanley?"

Ricky turned to me when he answered. "Aw, Caveman's too chicken to meet a girl." He grinned meanly with his tent mates. "Yea, Caveman was scared of the chica. That's it." Jose was holding back a huge grin. "Oh," Mr. Pendanski couldn't understand what Ricky meant, but knew when Jose started laughing that they had done something to him. "Ricky." Pendanski sounded……angry? Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bottle of pills. Pendanski smiled at Ricky, who looked at the pills in horror and stumbled backwards, trying to get away from Pendanski. "Now, Ricky. I told you that you wouldn't have to take these if you were good. You aren't being good." Ricky's eyes widened and feigned fear, frantically looking to his friends. "It's aight, Ziggy." Rex said. Why did everyone call him Ziggy? Chanele wondered. "Thanks, X." Ricky, or Ziggy or whatever his name was, relaxed. "Caveman is….uh….having stomach troubles." The look in his eyes said it was true, but not the whole story. "And why is he having stomach troubles, Ricky?" Ricky/Ziggy shrugged at first, until Pendanski put his hand back on the pocket. He mumbled something at first, until Pendanski urged him to say it so everyone could hear. "Because I squished up half a scorpion and put it in his lunch." Ricky/Ziggy said, his head hanging, but he was smiling goofily. "RICKY!" Mr. Pendanski sounded angry, but he was smiling too. Chanele looked horrified. 'How is that funny?' She thought. Poor Caveman, or Stanley, gosh why does everyone have so many names?

"Everyone, its time for dinner. Chanele, I think that also means that you need to change into your Camp Green Lake uniform. " She nodded, frowning, knowing that orange was not her best color.

"Hey, new chick! Wait up!" She turned to see all 6 boys walking towards her, Zero lagging slightly behind. "Sorry, but I have to go change," Chanele said prissily, and she knew by the look on Rex/X's face that he didn't like her attitude. "Well unless you want us to 'accidentally' come in when you're changing, Your Highness, I suggest you wait up." Chanele scowled and stood, waiting, with her hands on her tiny hips. "Ya see, Mom gave you the wrong names. We ain't Thee oh door or any of that shit." Chanele felt herself cringe at Rex/X's upfront attitude. "Then what are your names?" Chanele questioned, staring at her manicure, which infuriated Rex/X more. "I'm X-Ray. This," he pointed down the line, starting with Jose, then following with Alan, Theodore, Zero, and Ricky/Ziggy, "is Magnet, Squid, Armpit, Zero, and ZigZag."

A/N: I know it's moving pretty slow, but next chapter is dinner and the Wreck Room. There's some Caveman/Chanele friendship and ZigZag/Chanele sparks. Chanele also earns her nickname!
