Everybody calls me X-ray, but my real name is Rex. This was my life before Camp Green Lake. I was not
just a normal boy at school, I was like the “captain” of the students. At that time, I was quite a naughty
student, I rarely listened to teachers and my classmate. Others feared me and my group of friends
everywhere we went. Life was good. But there’s one thing I really hated about myself: my eyes. My eyes are
bad, so I have to wear thick and heavy glasses. And every day my face had to carry that much weight ! I
really want to get rid of that junk.
“Mom, can I get those night lenses to wear at night so I do not have to wear glasses in the day anymore?”, I
asked.
My mom replied “, If you had not been playing video games too much you wouldn’t even need to wear
one!”
“Also we don’t have enough money to buy one,” added my dad.
It was pretty much the same answer every time I asked. My house was not one of those “rich kids” type so
of course my parents wouldn’t buy those. I need to somehow get that much money to pay for those night
lenses. Then the idea hit me: to sell cheap products disguised as expensive one. That way we can get more
profit than ever. But that would mean doing something illegal and also including the risks of getting caught
and punished. I definitely do not like the sound of going into prison. This was a tough decision for me
because I really liked to get that amount of money but at the same time it’s a bad action. I thought for a
long time then finally decided just to do it, with my friends.
“What’s the risk of getting caught if we do perfectly,” said one of my friend.
“Yeah!”, agreed another.
When we combined our money together, it was not much. So we decided to just buy a cheap product: milk.
On the first day, it went well, no customer complained a thing.
A girl yell “, Mom! I want to drink those milk!”
“Is this one of those expensive milk that has good quality?”, asked her mother.
“Yes,” I said.
Although everyone was pleased and happy, I still felt bad and terrible for lying to them to use so much
money just to buy cheap and low quality drinks.
The next few days, I felt even more terrible as we get closer to the desire amount of money. Then one day,
the bad thing happened. I think you can already guessed, one of our customer found out that we’re
scamming them about the “expensive, high quality milk”. The word spread around quickly, soon most of the
people in the town knew about us. A while after, the police came and arrest us. The others go to jail, but I
choose to go to Camp Green Lake, without knowing …
