Chapter 2
Food Raid
Gold POV:
I walked into Myth's room with Star. Myth and Pepper were standing by the window, jaws hanging open like goldfish. I looked out of the window.
"Oh my goodness!" Star exclaimed.
I didn't disagree. It was like a huge sea of boy! Boys here, boys there, all in orange, all dirty, all staring at our cabin. I waved shyly. I don't think they saw me as they didn't respond. Probably wondering what was with the new cabin.
I then saw Auntie Lou shooing the boys off. They still looked back as they walked away, their mouths gaping. I giggled. Boys were so immature.
"So Gold," Star said, sitting down on Myth's bed with a bounce, "See any ya like?"
"Stupid Star," I said, hitting her lightly, "There all delinquents. We can't talk to them or anything. Aunt Lou would probably kill us."
"True. . . but they are pretty cute"
"Star!"
"Sorry. C'mon, it's almost 9. Let's go to bed."
The others grumbled and walked slowly into their rooms.
"You guys, I'm gunna take a shower," Crazy said.
"Ok. Be back soon," Pepper replied.
Crazy walked off and I settled down into my bed for a nice, long sleep.
Star POV:
I could hear whispered voices.
"C'mon, we won't get caught."
"I don't like doing this, X."
"It'll be fine. Just follow me."
"Are you sure the aliens won't come out?"
"Ziggy, that's crazy. Their not aliens."
"Fine, but don't blame me when they suck out your brains with a straw and I'm the only one who can save you."
I quietly knocked on the wall between my bedroom and Gold's.
"What is it Star? It's 11 O' clock!" Gold muttered.
"I thought I heard something," I whispered.
"Well, go check it out then!" she grouched. Gold wasn't normally this irritable.
"What if it's a criminal?" I asked fearfully.
"Star, there all criminals here. The worst they can do is rape us."
"That's what i'm afraid of."
"Well, i'm afraid I won't get enough sleep and be really grouchy in the morning, so I suggest that if you are gunna keep pestering me you check it out."
"Fine. Goodnight Gold"
"It is now."
I grabbed what looked like a fly swatter from my windowsill. Not the best weapon, but it would help.
I tiptoed out of my room and called quietly.
"Hello?"
"Dude, I told you we'd get caught!"
"No you didn't! You were the one who sent us here!"
"I have a fly swat and I'm not afraid to use it!" I whispered again. I was lying. In truth, I was afraid to use it.
"A fly swat? Let her come!"
"She could be an alien!"
"Zig, not everybody is an alien."
"Are too!"
"It's a lethal fly swat. It has a ,um, net," I called quietly.
"Lethal? Alien devices!"
"Zig-"
"Let it go, X."
"Fine."
"It'll hurt when I hit you with it." I whispered.
"She's lying. It doesn't hurt."
"How would you know?"
"I just know, okay? Those kinds of things are personal. Geez."
"You have. . . 5 seconds to leave before I hunt you down and swat you," I said, sounding more confident than I felt.
"Dude, she won't swat us. She's too scared."
"I will swat you," I repeated.
"We're criminal boys. She won't dare."
"I will dare."
"I bet she won't."
"Well I bet she will," I said.
"Who says?"
"ME!"
"Dude, you just blew our cover."
"Actually, you had no cover. I knew you were here. You talked so darn loudly it woke me up!"
"Ohhhhh. . ."
"Come on out guys, I won't tell the warden," I said. The guys came out one by one. They were all dirty and covered in dust, and one had a bit of the plant they hid behind in their hair.
"Now, what-" I began.
Suddenly, Myth, Pepper, Neon, Gold and Ginger came out of their rooms rubbing their eyes. When Gold saw the boys, and me standing before them armed with only a fly swat with a fluffy pink handle, she screamed. Crazy ran out of the bathroom in only a towel with her hair dripping wet and screamed too when she realised she was almost naked in front of criminal boys.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Neon screamed. The boys flinched.
"We were. . . um. . ." one trembled.
"We were stealing your food!" another one announced proudly.
"YOU WERE WHAT?" Neon yelled again.
"Neon, calm down. Boys, why were you stealing our food?" Pepper said calmly.
"It's just. . . we're so hungry. . . the food here is. . .just so. . . awful. . .just so. . .hungry. . ."
"Great, can you say that again only this time make sense?" Neon asked.
"The food here is cra. . . bad," one said.
"So you decided to break into our cabin and steal our food?" Pepper asked.
"Um. . . well. . . yes."
"Hmm, I see. Ginger, go get your aunt."
"NO! I told them I wouldn't! Please, I promised. It was just once. They won't do it again!" I said quickly.
"Fine, just this once. But if I see you in here again, I will personally arrange your funeral. You got it?" Pepper said menacingly. They nodded.
"Now, SCRAM!" Neon yelled, and the boys quickly hurried out the door.
"Seriously, guys, you are too scary for your own good," I said, laughing.
"Yeah I know. Get back to bed," Pepper said.
"Fine, fine." we muttered, and went back to the only comfort in this strange place: sleep.
