Chapter 1

D-Tent had come from digging and headed to their tent. It had been a week since Squid had received a letter. He read the letter over and over again until the creases where the letter had been folded were slowly tearing. He sat on his cot and heard a bus coming. He walked out of the tent. Squid tried to get as close as he could to the bus unnoticed. He was interested in seeing the victims that were being sent to the camp. He saw 4 girls get off the bus. He wasn't shocked because girls had been being sent over the week. Then he saw a girl he recognized. He began walking closer. She had black hair with red and blonde highlights and her eyes were dark brown and she had tan skin. He saw Pendanski by the bus and knew how to get close to them. He walked over to Pendanski. "Hey ma,"

"Hey Alan," Mr. Pendanski said. The girl heard the name Alan and looked up. Alan glanced at her, but then looked away. "Well you go to the tent,"

"Later ma. Ladies," Alan smiled and headed to the tent. The girl watched as Alan left.

"This way," Mr. Pendanski said. The girls followed him. The girl kept her eye on Alan.

The boys in D-Tent were sitting on their cots just talking. "Iverson is the best of the best," Armpit protested. Everyone laughed.

"No Kobe is. Brotha' got game," X-Ray said. Everyone agreed.

"Actually hands down to Duncan," the girl from the bus said and smiled. The guys looked at her. Mr. Pendanski was standing next to her.

"Boys meet your new roommate. Nayel Maia Reyna." Mr. Pendanski said with a fake smile plastered on his face.

"Sounds like a name from the Bible," Zigzag stood up from his cot and looked at Nayel. She looked at him. He didn't have his shirt on and the top of his jumpsuit was tied around his waist.

"Well my mom named after the river in Egypt so I guess you could say that," Nayel said sarcastically.

"Feisty isn't she," Zigzag smiled. Squid stood up and looked at Nayel. Nayel looked back at him.

"Well I'll let you all get to know each other," Mr. Pendanski left. Nayel sat on the cot that wasn't occupied.

"So who's who," Nayel asked looking around the guys. They just looked at her. "Well I can tell no one can speak," Nayel smiled. Squid stepped forward.

"That's Caveman, Zero, X-Ray, Armpit, Zigzag, and I'm Squid," he smiled sarcastically. Nayel smiled back. "So how's life treating you outside of here or should I say was treating you," Squid sat on his cot eager to find out how she got caught.

"It was fine Squid," she emphasized 'Squid'. The other guys could sense some hostility between them. "You know how it is. Don't you or has the sun drained out all your thoughts and memories," she looked at him and acted concern. Squid glared at her. "Well Squid," she lifted her eyebrow.

"Yo Squid lets go to the Wreck Room," X-Ray said. Squid was still looking at Nayel and she was looking straight back at him. "Squid," X-Ray said in his annoyed tone of voice.

"Comin'," Squid got up and walked over to Nayel. "This isn't the street so be careful," Squid warned her.

"I'm a big girl I can take care of myself Alan," Nayel smiled and got up. "I would like to go the Wreck Room," she headed out. Squid followed. Zigzag grabbed Squid's arm before he walked out.

"Nayel is your ex girlfriend?" Zigzag asked looking at Squid. Squid looked back at him.

"Yeah something like that," Squid sighed. Zigzag nodded. "Zig I'd rather you not tell the other guys okay?"

"I won't just you have to tell me the story behind her," Zigzag begged. He wanted to know about this Nayel girl that made Squid's hair stand up.

"Later," Squid continued his way to the Wreck Room. Zigzag followed.
