short chapter. SORRY

The next morning

It was about afternoon the next day and none of the boys had seen Waverly yet, so they decided to clarify the bet.

"Okay, so, when you kiss her, it can't be forced or it doesn't count," X-Ray said.

"I'm pretty sure the only guy she wants to kiss is me, chico," Magnet said confidently.

Squid rolled is eyes, "In your dreams, Magnet."

The water truck started driving towards them so they all piled out of their holes. They got in line as Mr. Sir got out of the truck, along with Waverly.

"Hey," X-Ray said as he gave his plastic canteen to Mr. Sir, who filled it up as he tried to flirt with Waverly.

"Hi," she smiled at him, "How far are you guys?"

Magnet looked around smoothly, "We're all about halfway, but I'm a little ahead of them all."

"Zero's a foot away from done," Caveman said, as if to be reminding him.

Waverly looked down at Zero as he got his water canteen filled last, "Can I talk to you for a moment, Zero?"

Waverly's POV

Hector looked at me as Armpit spoke up, "He doesn't talk to anybody unless it's Caveman-"

Zero cut him off by walking towards me and wrapping his arms around my waist. I looked at Armpit with a raised eyebrow and turned to walk a little further away, just to make sure nobody followed us or heard us.

"Why are you here?" Hector said once we were out of earshot (1).

I put a finger to my lips, "My daddy said that I had to do some under cover things because they're suspicious about Camp Green Lake."

Hector sighed, "I can't tell anyone, can I?"

I ruffled his head and shook mine, "Nope, unless you know that you'll die within the next 5 minutes."

He hugged me once again, "I missed you."

I kneeled down to his height and hugged him tight, "I missed ya too, bud. Let's go make sure you finish that hole, okay?"

He nodded and we walked back to the sight. Mr. Sir looked at me, "Go on back; I'll wait for them to finish."

"Are ya sure? These delinquents are a bunch o' trouble makers."

I nodded, "I'm pretty sure me and my friend here," I pat the gun hidden in my jean pocket, "can handle a couple o' delinquents."

Without a word, he got into the water truck and drove back to the camp. I turned towards the boys, "What ya'll lookin' at? Get back to work!"

"Ma'am, yes ma'am!" they all mock saluted me and I laughed as they went back to digging.

Hector came up to me for a moment, "You're accent's showing."

1. Yes, she knew Hector Zeroni before he went to CGL - and she refuses to call him Zero because she knows he's intelligent.
