I walked out the infermatory's door and bumped into X-Ray. "Hey!" He said as we walked down the porch. "You ok?" I looked over, still a little dizzy, and said, "Yeah! Of course." He sighed. "Well, good, because Zig-Zag's a mess. He's been sitting in the tent all day." I stopped. "Really? It wasn't that big of a deal." X-Ray shrugged. "After you fainted, he wouldn't leave your side. He was so freaked out. It happens all the time, but something happened, Zig-Zag became, your like, supervisor." I smiled to myself and walked toward the tent. "I'll see you in a minute!" I was still starving, but as I wave to X-Ray, I knew I had to make sure that Zig-Zag was ok.

I saw him sitting on his bed, writing in a small notebook. I stomped my foot, pretending to be knocking, and he turned around. I saw his eyes light up and it was the first time I think I'd seen a real smile from him. "Are you ok?" We both said in-sync. I smiled and sat down next to him. "What are you writing?" He looks back down at his notebook. "Nothing really. It's just stuff for my parol officer." I frowned a little. I also had a parol officer, but I knew it wasn't really anything to brag about here.

"Are you ok, though?" He asked, a concerned look in his eyes. I smiled a little bigger. "Of course! I feel better than ever, well, except for these blisters." I looked down at my hands. They were still bloody, but they felt better after my long 'nap'. I turned my head. "Are you ok? X-Ray said you were a mess." He shook his head. "Remind me to thank X-Ray for making me look 'cool'." I smiled and touched his arm. "No, I think it's sweet. Thanks. No one's even really taken a big interest in me since I got here. Mr. Sir almost made me change in front of the whole attendence office!" He laughed. "Sorry. He can be a bit… scary sometimes." "Tell me about it." I stood up and motioned for him to follow. "Let's go get some 'lunch'." Knowing what were probably going to be served today was most likely not food.

Zig- Zag and I walked into the mess hall and looked for the gang. X-Ray waved us over. I staring walking when I was tripped. I sat up, only to be pushed down by the same boy from yesterday. "Hey, babe." I pushed his hot breath away from my ear and tried standing up. "So, what did I say yesterday about getting in my way?" I looked up and saw his harsh eyes and villainous smile.

I knew what was going to happen next, I just tried to avoid it. He smiled as he twisted my arm behind my back and a slit tear slid down my cheek. "Ryan, man, just leave her alone." I heard Zig-Zag yell. He looked up, distracted and I tried to break free of his grip, only to be held a little tighter. I turned around and punched his stomach. He released and grabbed his stomach in pain. Zig-Zag grabbed my arm and helped me to my feet. More tears ran down my face as I scream, "Don't you EVER touch me again!"

A rush of emotions came over me and I walked to the table that X-Ray and Stanley were sitting at. Mr. Sir walked in just as Ryan started coming after me again. "Ryan Henderson!" Ryan turned around slowly, still giving me a death look. Mr. Sir walked him out as Zig- Zag sat next to me as I continued to cry silently. I wiped away my tears, making sure no one really saw. X-Ray looked down, knowing I was embarrassed.
