Chapter Two: Physic Remember

"So what am I not supposed to have an opinion, Should I keep quiet just because I'm a woman, Call me a bitch 'cause I speak what's on my mind, Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled." Joey started to sing as she was digging her hole. Then she started to dance.

"When a female fires back, suddenly big talker don't know how to act, so he does what any little boy would do, Making up a few false rumors or two, that for sure is not a man to me, slandering names for popularity, it's sad you only get your fame through controversy, but now it's time for me to come and give you some more to say." After that the girls were completely lost in the song they both were dancing and singing. Ronnie looked at the girls and started to sing the song to herself it was there favorite song they sang it all the time to remind them that men aren't worth it. She looked up at them again then she caught Squid's eye 'or are they?' she asked herself. It had been a week since the girls showed up at Camp Green Lake and Squid had told Ronnie what was wrong that night.

Flash Back

'Hey I guess I have to tell you now huh?' He asked sitting next to her on her bed.

'Yeah I guess you do.' she answered.

'Lets go for a walk." he said as the rest of the group came in from dinner.

'Okay.' They started to walk around camp but hadn't said anything to each other, but she didn't mind she liked the company. They started to get away from camp and were walking in between the holes. Then he spoke.

'Want to know why I'm in here?' He asked.

'Not unless you want to tell me.' He looked up at her and smiled.

'I beat up my step dad and he ended up in the hospital.'

'What'd he do to you?'

'What do you mean? I beat him up.'

'I know but he had to do something to make you beat him up, because personally I don't think you would just beat the shit out of him for no reason.' he looked up at her and smiled.

'Yeah, well my moms an alcoholic she started to drink when my dad left. I was thirteen then. Three years later she got remarried she said I need a father figure in my life. Uh Rick was anything but a father figure. I hate him so much not that my mom's number one in my book or anything, but he use to beat her all the time and one night I snapped I pulled a kitchen knife on him.'

'And then you ended up here in the middle of the desert digging holes.' She finished for him. 'I'm glad you told me that but it didn't answer my question.' He looked up at her she smiled at him. 'What's wrong?" She asked.

'Oh well I got a letter today.'

'From who?'

'Rick.'

'Uh oh.'

'Yeah.' He whispered he looked anywhere but at her and she knew he was crying. She walked in front of him and put her hands on his arms.

'Hey you know you can cry in front of me. I don't care I'm not one of your buddies and personally I think you need to cry.' He slowly looked up at her.

'Why are you being so nice you don't even know me?'

'Your right, but I really don't think you want to be alone anyway. Do you?' He shook his head and started to cry harder. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he cried into her shoulder. The sun was setting behind them and Ronniethought that they needed to get back before the boys and now girls started to ask questions. He finally pulled away and looked at her, she smiled he laughed a little and wiped his tears away.

'Thanks.' He smiled at her.

'Your welcome, but now you owe me a shoulder to cry on.' she smiled back at him.

'Okay then.' They started to walk back to the camp.

'What'd the letter say?' she asked randomly.

'What?' He asked caught off guard.

'You don't have to tell me I was just asking.' she said quickly then looked back down at the ground.

'My mom died.' She stopped walking and her mouth dropped. She didn't look up at him she hadn't expected that.

'And all you did was cry?' She asked finally looking at him.

'I told you she wasn't number one in my book.' Was all he said as he watched her.

'Do you even have a number one?' She asked still staring at him.

'Haven't had one for two years.' She started to walk again. Once she caught up with him he grabbed her wrist and stopped her. 'Why'd you let me kiss you today?' he asked. She let out a snort of laughter.

'I kissed you, you didn't kiss me, but it's because I wanted it.' Then she started to walk again.

'Uh wait.' He ran to catch up to her. 'You don't even know me.'

'Doesn't mean I didn't want to kiss you. And if I'm not mistaken I'd say you want to kiss me now.' She walked up to him and they were about and inch apart.

'Oh really. How do you know that?' She smiled at him and whispered in his ear.

'I'm physic remember.' Then she pulled his lips to hers.
