-Inside D-Tent-

'X-ray' widens his eyes at me.

I widen my eyes at X-ray.

Are we having fun yet?

The dark skinned boy shakes his head, seeming to let the arrogance flow back into him in an effort to cover his lapse in his 'I'm-so-much-awesome-r-than-you' persona. He waves his arms back at the other two boys, trying to call in reinforcements. "Yo, check this kids hair!" Mr. Awesome forces a laugh. "Whatcha trying to do? Be the n-next..uh.. Marilyn Monroe? Yeah, you some kind of cross-dresser?"

Dear all those out there that thought 'blood boiling' was just an expression,

You're wrong.

So I get sent to an all-boys camp. I can handle that. Then I get put in an all-boys tent. Okay, I'll deal. But when I've been ripped from the life I knew, given a mentor that hates me, basically branded as an outcast in the first minute and a half, and have my proudest feature insulted, I get a little bit testy.

I barely notice my ankles planting my feet on the ground, hardly feel them propel me up and forward, but I certainly feel my fist connect with the taller teen's atrocious glasses. The resounding crack can only be described by that same sensation of satisfaction.

I only realize the horror of what I just did when the shocked gasps of 'the minions' reach my ears.

When the evil leader squints up at me from where he's landed in the dirt, I realize I have to salvage this somehow.

Finally, I come to the conclusion that, for the first time in my life, the truth may be the only way out of this.

Squid and Magnet try to help X-Ray up, with him simultaneously shaking them off and trying to get up himself. The attractive-not the time!- boy has let the toothpick fall from his lips and seems shell-shocked, while the Hispanic boy seems caught between offended, amused, and just plain astounded. The latter's eyes shoots from X-Ray to me then back again at an alarming rate, as if he thinks his eyes may be playing tricks.

The black leader finds his feet and advances, looking every bit the lion as I feel like the antelope. "Why you little piece of-!"

"Shut up!" I shout, digging myself in even deeper. What is this courage coming from?

One of his hands ball into a fist as the other shoots out to grip the front of my jumpsuit again, "Look, if you wanna survive you better learn to keep that mouth shut unless I tell you otherwise!" Dark, rage-filled eyes drill back into mine.

"Well forgive me if I get a little bit pissed off when people mistake my gender you jerk!" I shot out, hoping it doesn't miss the target.

Along with a strange sense of Deja' Vu, I feel that hand on my uniform slacken a second time. I step back, struggling to maintain my feet this round, and watch as all the strange triangle formation of juvie's process the words left hanging in the air.

I'll just describe the phenomenon from left to right then.

Squid-I'll try to leave it at that- is gaping at me as eyes travel up and down my form, trying to figure out how he missed that. His features keep flickering between amusement, disbelief, and shock until he finally let his knees give out to dump him on the cot behind him.

X-Ray doesn't seem to know what to do. His game book has been shredded and discarded along with his pride. His jaw keeps opening and closing soundlessly, seeking the proper response. Finding none, he snaps it shut and glares at the ground, waiting for someone else to make the first move.

Magnet seems to be the only one not freaking out-save Zero, who just can't be bothered to care. The Hispanic bandana-ed teen runs his gaze over the soft lines of my heart shaped face and then nods in understanding. I feel the confusion that should shroud his expression seep into mine. All eyes are on the laid-back male as he steps closer to me and extends his hand.

"Well…" A grin spreads across his tan face, "This may just be the best mistake in the history of Camp Green Lake."
