Enjoy and please Review!Also,I own nothing but Angel!
"You'll both be in D tent!D stands for dilligence. There's the mess hall,there's the wreck room,and there's the showers. There's only one knob 'cause there's only one temperature. Cold."Dr. Pendanski says showing Stanley and I around.
"And that's the warden's cabin over there. That's the number one rule at Camp Green Lake. Do not upset the warden."Dr. Pendanski says pointing to a nice cabin with a car parked in front of it.
"Yeah he seemed kind of..."Stanley tries to find the right word.
"Who?Oh Mr. Sir?Oh he's not the warden!He's just been in a bad mood since he quit smoking."Dr. Pendanski says.
"Hey mom!Who are the neanderthals?"I hear someone ask.
I turn to see a skinny black male with big and dirty glasses,a skinny white male with a toothpick hanging out of his mouth,and a big and smelly black male. Their eyes go wide when they see I'm a girl.
"Rephrase that!Who's the neanderthal and the girl?"The skinny black male asks.
"This is Stanley Yelnats and Angel Mays."Dr. Pendanski says.
"When did we start accepting girls?"The big black male asks.
"Just now."I say.
"This is Rex,Alan,and Theodore."Dr. Pendanski points to the skinny black male,then the skinny white male,and lastly the big black male.
"Hi."Stanley says.
"Yo my name is X-Ray and that's Squid and that's Armpit."Rex says.
"And him?He's mom."Squid says jerking his head in Dr. Pendanski's direction.
"They all have their little nicknames but I prefer to use the names their parents gave them. The names society will recognize them by. Theodore,why don't we show Stanley and Angel their cots?"Dr. Pendanski suggests.
Armpit looks at X-Ray.
"Go ahead,Pit."X-Ray says.
Obviously he's the leader. We're lead to an old tent with a big D on the front. We go in and we're shown our cots.
Two other boys come in. One's mexican with a bandana on and the other's white with crazy blonde hair. The white male reminds me of someone but I can't remember who.
"I'm Magnet and that's ZigZag."The mexican one says pointing to himself and then the one with the crazy blonde hair.
ZigZag sits on his cot which is right next to mine.
"And this is Zero. Say hello to Stanley and Angel,Zero."Dr. Pendanski says pointing to a young dark colored male with brown locks.
He lays on his cot not speaking and barely moving.
"Wanna know why we call him Zero?'Cause there's nothing going on in his stupid little head."Dr. Pendanski says messing up Zero's hair.
"Did you tell them about the lizards?"ZigZag asks Dr. Pendanski.
"Ricky,let's not scare them."Dr. Pendanski says.
"Hey,his name's not Ricky!It's ZigZag,'aight?"X-Ray says.
"Stanley,if you have any questions just ask Theodore. Theodore will be your mentor. Angel,if you have any questions just ask Ricky. He'll be your mentor. Got that guys?"Dr. Pendanski asks.
"Yeah."Armpit and ZigZag both say.
"I'm depending on you!It should be no labor to be nice to your neighbor."Dr. Pendanski says before he leaves.
"Could you guys turn around?"I ask.
"Why girlie?"X-Ray asks.
"I need to get changed but I don't want you guys to see."I say.
"Fine."They all grumble.
They turn and I quickly take off my jeans and put on some athletic shorts before pulling on my jumpsuit. I leave my black tank top on.
"Done."I say.
They all turn back around.
"Thanks."I say grabbing my canteen and walking outside.
I look around and I already know,this will not be an easy eighteen months. I trip and someone catches me.
"You might wanna be more careful,girlie."I hear someone say.
I look up and see ZigZag catched me.
"Am I always gonna be called that?"I ask as he sets me back to my feet.
"Until we get another girl,probably."ZigZag smiles.
I can't get that he reminds me of someone out of my head.
"Where can I fill my canteen?"I ask.
"Over there."He points.
"Thanks!Well,see ya' later."I say walking over to the water spigot.
I fill my canteen and take a sip. I walk around for awhile more before I see Stanley getting thrown down by Armpit. I run to him and drop by his side.
"You okay?"I ask grabbing his hand and pulling him up with me.
"Yeah."Stanley whispers.
"There's a water spigot over there."Armpit says to Stanley while jerking his head to the water spigot.
Stanley walks over while I listen to what Armpit,ZigZag,Squid,and Magnet have to say.
"Man Pit,why you gotta be so mean for?"Squid asks in his adorable southern drawl.
Wait!Did I just say adorable?
"Man,I ain't mean!I'm his mentor. Ain't that what I'm supposed to do?"Armpit asks.
"Thanks Armpit!"I hear Stanley yell.
"Man,whatever!"Armpit says as he and the others leave.
A bell goes off.
"What's that?"I ask.
"Dinner bell,girlie."I hear Squid say.
"Oh."I say.
"Come on. I'll take ya'."Squid says.
I follow him to the mess hall and we both go in. I get in the dinner line with him and I get my slop(I mean food).
It looks like what pigs eat.
I follow Squid to a table where ZigZag makes room for me.
"Thanks."I say sitting down.
I let Stanley sit by me when he gets to us.
"Hey new kids!Neither of you dug today so neither of you would mind giving up your bread to somebody who did,now would you?"X-Ray asks while he takes Stanley's bread.
"X-Ray,give Stanley's bread back!You can have mine but give him his back."I say.
X-Ray looks surprised that I just said that.
"No."X-Ray says.
"Here."I say giving my bread to Stanley.
"No,it's yours."Stanley says.
"I want you to have something that's actually edible."I say putting my bread on his tray.
"So what're you gonna eat?"Squid asks.
"This."I say taking a bite from the slop on my plate.
I swallow it and the boys look amazed.
"How are you able to not puke it back up?"ZigZag asks.
"At my school,you ate this stuff alot."I say taking another bite.
"So,what'd they get you two for?"Squid asks Stanley and I.
"I stole a pair of shoes."Stanley says.
Everyone but Zero and I laugh.
"From the store or were they still on someone's feet?"Squid asks.
"No,he just killed the dude first. You just left that little detail out,right?"ZigZag asks.
"They were Clyde Livingston's shoes."Stanley says.
"Sweet feet?"Armpit questions.
"Man,you didn't steal no Clyde Livingston 'Sweet Feet' shoes."X-Ray says.
"They were his world series cleats."Stanley says.
"How'd you get em'?He's like the fastes guy in the majors."Magnet says.
"He only hit four triples in one game!"Squid says.
"Clyde Livingston donated his shoes to this homeless shelter."Stanley says.
"Did they have red X's on them?"Zero looks at Zero amazed.
"You got Zero to talk!"Squid says.
"Hey what else can you do,Zero?"Armpit asks.
"Yeah,they did."Stanley answers Zero's question.
"What'd they get you for?"Squid asks me.
"Stabbing my now ex boyfriend in the shoulder."I say.
The guys give me a weird look.
"Why did you do that?"Stanley asks.
"It's complicated."I say.
I eat some more food before throwing it away. I go to D tent and change before all the guys come in.
After awhile,we're in bed. I can't sleep because of people snoring and passing gas in their sleep. After awhile,I'm able to fall asleep.
Hope ya'll like!Please favorite and review and i'm going with an idea that WritersWayOfLife gave me!So thank you!
