Cass walked to the bunk bed closest to the exit. If there was a forest fire, she would be prepared. She set down her blankets and pillows.
"Hey, Cass, can I be on your bunk bed?" asked Jessica. Cass had chosen the bottom part of the bed and of course it was because it just had to be closest to the exit.
"Oh, sure!" Cass answered. Jessica climbed up the ladder and put her bedding on. Meanwhile, Amber and Veronica were talking behind Naomi's back while she was in the bathroom.
"I sure hope Naomi doesn't say things like that about you when you're gone," said Cass.
"Oh, silly Cass," said Amber. "Now why don't you join us? Naomi is so poky anyway."
"No thanks," said Cass.
"Well, maybe some other time then."
"No." Cass had been wanting to leave the cabin, but unfortunately, it was "cabin time." A time when you stay in your cabin and talk and do stuff. It might have been enjoyable if only it wasn't with Amber.
"Cass, why don't you like me? What did I ever do to you?" aked Amber. Cass knew Max-Ernest had been in a similar situation with Amber once before because this is exactly how he described it to her.
"I think you know," said Cass. That was what Max-Ernest did when Amber asked him the question.
"No, I don't know!" said Amber.
"O.K., well, first of all, (These were the reasons Max-Ernest had listed to Amber in his head) you accused me and Max-Ernest of being a couple, you make fun of my ears, you brag about the Skelton Sisters everyday, and You're part of the Midnight Sun and don't try to deny it!"
"Oh, Cass! Is this what it's all about? I'll have you know that I am NOT part of the Midnight Sun and actually, I do not brag about the Skelton sisters everyday and I just thought you and Max-Ernest would make a good couple," said Amber.
Cass's ears reddened with anger and embarrassment. Cass opened the cabin door and left. Jessica followed after her.
"Where are you going?" asked Jessica running after her.
"I don't know! I just don't want to be in the cabin anymore. Amber is REALLY bugging me!" said Cass.
"Well, where do you want to go?" Jessica asked.
"I'm gonna go search for my other friends. You can come if you want," said Cass.
"Okay," said Jessica. She followed Cass and they eventually found Max-Ernest and Yo-Yoji standing by their door too.
"That was easy," said Cass. "I wonder why they're not in their cabin." She walked up to them.
"Hi," she said.
Hi," said Yo-Yoji and Max-Ernest.
"Why are you here and who is that?" asked Max-Ernest.
"I'm here because Amber is annoying me and this is Jessica. The only decent one in the whole cabin. Also, she's part of the Terces. She helps Owen! We're just not aloud to really know about her. Just Owen because he's the main spy."
"How do we know you're really part of the Terces and you're not just lying to get information from us?" asked Yo-Yoji.
"She admitted it first. I didn't even have to say I was in it," said Cass.
"Oh," said Max-Ernest. "Well then hi!" Jessica looked at him. She had noticed his spiky hair.
"Hi," she said.
"You get used to the spikiness," said Cass.
"So, what are your missions?" asked Jessica.
"Well, we have to go on secret missions in order to protect the secret from the Midnight Sun," said Yo-Yoji.
"Oh," said Jessica.
"Girls, back to your cabins now!" yelled a fierce Mr. Howard coming their way.
"Lets go!" said Cass.
"Nice meeting you guys!" said Jessica, and the two ran away.
