and any kid who had got lost in there (which was most likely every kid in the area,) it did have some effect. And especially at night.
    Johnny had sent over a batch of Thai stick. Obviously named because it was from Thailand and it was on a stick, but this stuff was very potent. Sean and four other lads were hanging out down the camp smoking, and all were experiencing an intense stoned that they never knew was possible.Then he saw her. She was standing in the middle of the pitch being pushed by an older boy. Sean couldn't hear what the boy was shouting at her, but she was crying. With the last push she fell to the ground and the boy gave her a kick and walked away. She got up and ran behind a nearby bush with a book held tightly in her arms. She sat down, opened the book and began to read. For Sean it was hard to understand. He wasn't sure if it was the smokes or something else, but he couldn't take his eyes off her. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. He held his breath the whole time and seeing her cry made his heart hurt in a way he had never known.
    "Pat what are you gawkin at?" asked Jimmy. A bit of a bully around the estate. A small guy. Sean slowly figured that you always have to watch the small guys, they always seemed to have something to prove. And although always willing to start a fight, Jimmy was feared more for his ability to ridicule people verbally. This of course didn't apply the same to Sean as everyone else. Sean was the supplier, and therefore the leader. The man. Still though, he had to watch what he said and did around him. He couldn't be seen as weak after all. "I said what are you gawkin at?" Sean snapped out of his trance. "Nutin, what's it to you?" Jimmy leaned over him to take a look. "That one? I hear shes a right weirdo." "Ya I hear she's a complete loner and never talks, as in as if she can't talk or something!" blurted Tommy, a sheep to the shepherds.
"Will I call her over?" asked Jimmy in a sniggering whisper. "Go on I dare ya." answered Tommy. "Eh you, come here we wana talk to ya!" Sarah looked up, but the only other movement she made was to wipe the tears from her eyes. "Come on we won't bite ya or nutin!" She looked on for a moment then closed up her book, stood up, half fixed her clothes and started to walk towards them. All this time Sean was still completely entranced by her. She reached the entrance to the camp, stepped over the ditch and shuffled down the little slope to the plateau. She found herself standing dead centre to 5 blood shot eyed boys and was beginning to regret her choice. "What's your name?" asked Jimmy in a semi-taunting tone. She didn't reply. "What's the matter, cat got your tongue?" and the sniggers burst out. All except for Sean who was again feeling the pain in his heart. "And what's that you've got there?" asked Jimmy, referring to the book clasped in her hands, which tightened as if to answer. "Can I have a look at it?" Again no reply, prompting Jimmy to snatch it out of her hands. She immediately left out a scream and tried frantically to retrieve the book, but Jimmy was too quick and threw it to Tommy. Then Tommy managed to read the title and read it out loud. "My diary, Jesus you are a weirdo!" and he couldn't be consoled with laughter as he threw it to one of the other boys, and then the other, until it became a game of piggy in the middle. All the while Sean looked on with a face about to burst with rage. Again the book was thrown from Jimmy to Tommy and Sarah, completely overcome by the scenario began to cry. At this point Sean couldn't take it anymore and stepped in. He grabbed the book out of Tommy's hands, sized up to him as if to say what are you gonna do about it, then sized up to Jimmy locking eyeballs to a degree that God facing the devil would be compared to, then grabbed Sarah's hand and marched out of the camp.
    The boys remained in the camp gob smacked, jaws hanging open. This was unheard of. In the never ending war between boys
