What happened to Barf Bag?asked the black kid.Lewis is still in the hospital,said Mr. Pendanski.
He won’t be returning.He told the boys to come shake Stanley’s hand and introduce themselves, “like gentlemen.”
“Hi,” the white kid grunted. “That’s Alan,” said Mr. Pendanski. “My name’s not Alan,” the boy said.
“It’s Squid. And that’s X-Ray.” “Hey,” said X-Ray. He smiled and shook Stanley’s hand.
He wore glasses, but they were so dirty that Stanley wondered how he could see out of them.
Mr. Pendanski told Alan to go to the Rec Hall and bring the other boys to meet Stanley.
Then he led him inside the tent. There were seven cots, each one less than two feet from the one next to it.
“Which was Lewis’s cot?” Mr. Pendanski asked. “Barf Bag slept here,” said X-Ray, kicking at one of the beds.
“All right, Stanley, that’ll be yours,” said Mr. Pendanski. Stanley looked at the cot and nodded.
He wasn’t particularly thrilled about sleeping in the same cot that had been used by somebody named Barf Bag.
Seven crates were stacked in two piles at one side of the tent. The open end of the crates faced outward.
Stanley put his backpack, change of clothes, and towel in what used to be Barf Bag’s crate.
