Wolves of Red Lake Season One (Reboot)

Kassey's tent was indeed roomy enough for at least three people Tala believed as she stepped inside. "Yeah, and I bet you would really love to touch it." Riley had called back at Tala. It was an odd sounding comeback Tala thought. Why would I want to touch her nose? She shook her head. As she began to roll out her sleeping bag Riley stepped toward the tent. "But in all seriousness, could we talk for a bit alone Tala?"

"OK," Tala replied and sighed. She had a feeling she knew what her friend wanted to talk about. If it wasn't Riley then it was sure to be one of the others.

"So who's the lucky person that gets to room with me?" Carlos called out from near the RV which instantly made Tala roll her eyes as she situated her things in the tent. "I promise I won't get you in your sleep...maybe."

"No boys allowed," Tala stated as she exited the tent flashing a cool glance towards the boy who was busy being screamed at by his mother over the phone. It sounded as if his mother was a possible alcoholic the way she was carrying on about a stolen bottle of tequila, and since Carlos had the bottle on the RV and open so early this morning Tala couldn't help but wonder if he were about to fall down the same path. Unlike the others, Tala wasn't overly fond of Carlos. Not that she outright hated him, it simply seemed as though the boy just didn't know when to stop with the fun and games. His pranks annoyed her more than they made her laugh.

"Boy I'm so gonna get it when I get home," he said as he hung up on his mother. "Don't piss off a Mexicana or touch her alcohol." Tala often speculated if Carlos put on the accent too much as part of his clown act.

"Bobo," she said as Tala walked past him, a word and insult that meant the same thing in both Filipino and Spanish. Tala didn't wait for a response as she walked past him and the vehicle to follow Riley into the forest.

The following conversation with Riley she was not looking forward to. She wasn't ready to have this conversation with any of her friends. Tala had had this talk with her mother more than once. 'What's wrong with you? Why are you so hostile towards us? Why don't you go out with your friends?' Tala didn't have an answer for her mother, and she knew she wouldn't have an answer for Riley.

Exiting the recreational vehicle Tala took a moment to stretch and yawn, lifting her arms above her head and arching her back. The ride from her home to the lake wasn't a long one, but her lack of sleep was catching up with her. She and her parents had been at each other's throats the last few of days with their last screaming match ending with her stepfather taking her cellphone from her.

As she stretched she watched Cassandra and Kassey quickly set up their tents. Tala then moved to one of the outside storage compartments of the RV and retrieved her duffle bag and sleeping bag.

"I have room in my tent, if anyone wants a roof over their head," Cassandra informed the group before disappearing inside her tent to change clothes.

"Same here," Kassey gestured toward her own tent. "I've got room for a person or two if we need it. I brought an extra sleeping bag too just in case anyone forgot," she said before she also disappeared into her tent.

Though she had not been socializing with her friends as much this past year Tala's feelings towards them had not changed. No, she did not hate those around her now. It was just something had changed within her. As though a dial was steadily being turned inside of her that was slowly transforming Tala from a cheerful and outgoing teenager into a more introverted, antisocial girl. Less and less did she feel the need to interact with others. Tala did not attend any of the past school year's dances or sporting events. Neither did she hang with her friends after school or on the weekends during the last six months or so. No going to the movies. No going swimming. No shopping sprees or girls' nights out. Fact is, if Tala's home life wasn't currently in turmoil she probably wouldn't have come on this camping trip.

Despite the fact that she had never officially 'came out' to her friends, before the shift in her temperament Tala used to be quite flirtatious with her girlfriends. Although gay she had not yet become physically attracted to the other girls. That is unless comments about being jealous of Kassey's derriere counted as physical attraction. Cassandra and Aaliyah -affectionately dubbed the Twin Towers- were entertainers as Tala was once. She enjoyed Riley's tomboyish nature, and Kassey's curiosity, loyality and athleticism were all traits to be admired. Elisha was a new addition to the circle that, even though Tala had seen her around, she hadn't really gotten to know her. Yet the way the cute little Eurasian girl's brown eyes beamed whenever they looked toward Carlos did not go unnoticed.

Tala considered her sleeping options. After Billy claimed he was going to go after some real firewood and struck a ludicrous pose with his hatchet, a moment that brought a genuine amused grin to Tala's face, Cassandra chose to accompany him along with another new kid, Evan. As they walked off Kassey was dragging some logs suitable for sitting on around the spot where the campfire would be built.

Brushing shiny black locks of hair behind a tiny ear Tala stepped toward Kassey. "Guess I'm bunking with you."

"By the way," said Riley as she set up a few folded chairs around the fire circle, "if some of you guys are sharing tents, I don't want to hear any moaning or anything like that." Riley chuckled as she walked away to begin assembling her own tent.

"No need for moaning. I'm sure that snoot of yours could pick up the scent of sex a mile away," Tala retorted in a lower tone before slipping into Kassey's tent with her things.

Standing just outside the front door of her home Tala brushed her long dark hair behind a tiny ear with a delicate hand as Riley shouted at her from inside the RV. It took her a moment to process why what Riley was saying, the argument with and the anger towards her stepfather still fresh in her mind. Seeing Billy in the passenger seat helped jog her memory. Of course... the annual camping trip.

Tala folded her arms over her flat tummy shivering just a bit. The mostly sheer rosetta cami did nothing to protect her from the cool morning air. The raven haired girl had been prepared to run away from her family and home. But, as she stood there on her porch looking at the large vehicle filled an unknown number of her friends Tala knew that had been an overreaction. One of many she had had to her parents over the last several months. Her mother believed Tala's outbursts to nothing more than the hormones of a teenage girl. Her stepfather believed her reactions to caused by the movies she watched, the music she listened to, the people she hung with and her not being baptized. Whatever the cause running away was obviously not the answer. Yet a few days away from her parents may do a little good.

Holding up her index finger signalling to Riley to give her a moment, Tala stepped back inside her house. After a handful of minutes the seventeen year old exited her home with her duffle bag over one shoulder. her little black purse over the other, and a sleeping bag under her arm. Her buckled Chuck Taylors made little noise as she walked down the steps and on to the side walk leading to the driveway while she placed her black slouchy beanie upon her head. As she walked Tala patted her front pocket of her torn skinny jeans to double check that she had indeed placed her music player inside. Once at the RV she stuffed her sleeping bag and duffle into one of the outside storage containers.

Finally, after taking a breath, Tala entered the large recreational vehicle greeting her friends with a smile, a wave of her fingers, and a half-hearted joke. "The cute one's here."
