Author's Note:

I shall start this sequel to my previous book Living in Holes by saying, two examples of my top 10 favorite things in the world, are PINK FLOYD and drawing with chalk. I know it's kinda weird. But chalk, you have to admit, makes you feel like an old-time teacher. I swear, I'm crazy. Anyway, welcome to a feels feild trip. If you read Living in Holes kudos to you! I'm sorry, I'm listening to Pink Floyd now and can't get over how good they are! Ok, so you'll be introduced to a number of new characters. Hopefully, you know the older characters. If you do, you'll do fine. This'll be fun. Thank you for reading the mud I write called "stories." you make me feel special! Thanks!

Prologue

My name is Perry Ross. I don't have much of a social life unless you include interacting with teenage criminals social. Then in that case, yes. I've made many bad decisions in my lifetime. These include burning my abusive ex-boyfriend's house down. It kinda killed him too. But everyone does that at least once.

That led for me and my best friend, Sabrina Deans, to get stuck in a delinquent camp called Camp Green Lake. Everything was fine and dandy until I found out Camp Green Lake was an all-boys camp. We met D-Tent. X-Ray, Stanley, Zero, Armpit, Squid, Magnet, and ZigZag were my new friends...sort of. Then some more girls came along. Alexis, a weird Australian girl. Cameron, a hispanic girl that was soulmate to Magnet. And Cece. I kind of beat her up the first day because Sabrina lied to me about her crime. Drama was usual there.

Each and every day we had to dig craters 5 foot in every dimension. In the hot sun. With barely any water. It sucked...bad. I also fell for ZigZag. I mean when you're 6ft 3, have wild blond hair, and infinite blue eyes, you're in that attractive category. Anyway, our secrets were spilled by a bi*** aka Pendanski, our counselor. After ZigZag gave me a surprise kiss, we kind of became a couple, but you already knew that. Because no one would dare read a sequel without already knowing the previous story.

If you do, for shame. Stanley ran away with Zero. I worried. They came back. Simple. Then something miraculous happened. Something no one would have expected. It rained there for once. Camp Green Lake hadn't gotten rain since their town was abandoned. Rain and freedom were granted to us. It was high time I had some luck.

I screamed and reached out for anything to throw. My hands scrambled and found a thick plastic object. I hurled across the room and it smashed into the wall. Sh**. I crawled out of bed and saw the last remains of my phone lying in a heap on the floor. My door flung open and Sabrina ran inside. "Perry! What in the hell happened?" She asked, staring around my room. "I just had a nightmare...and threw my phone." She sighed and fell onto my bed.

Sabrina had begged her parents into letting her live with us because they were moving to New York with Annabelle, Sabrina's distant sister. Guess it was for business. It had been about 10 months now since we were let out of Camp Green Lake. Sabrina fit in fine. She was already practically my sister. For the past few months I would wake up in the middle of the night screaming. It annoyed Sabrina so much. She tried to duct tape my mouth shut one night.

"I can't stand this." Sabrina muttered lowly. I sat beside her and ran my fingers through my hair. "I'm sorry." I knew exactly why it was happening. Gabe's house wasn't too far from mine. We had to pass by it every day to leave our driveway and it killed me to see the blackened ruins with yellow police tape shreds hanging everywhere. "I'm going back to sleep. I'll see you in the morning..." Sabrina yawned. She limped out of my room, half asleep.

I climbed back under the covers and shivered. It would get hot in the morning but extremely cold at night. That only place that reminded me of that was Camp Green Lake. It was like a desert. I shut my eyes. The last I had heard from Ricky was when he left me. We hadn't called or even got into contact. I figured our relationship was over that coming first month. I finally blackened my vision, hopefully for good.
