I don't like that title…can u think of a better one?
Chapter 7
I saw a bunch of guys crowding around Caveman's hole. Squid motioned for me to come over so I joined him and the rest of D-tent. ZigZag was holding a gold tube.
"Yeah, it was this kid in my math class." He said in his usual 'duh' tone.
"What are ya'll looking at?" I asked motioning that I wanted to see the tube. ZigZag handed it to me and I studied it quizzically.
"It's a bullet shell, right Shorty? Though; I don't know how you would know that." Squid said, taking it from me. I took it back and looked at it again.
"Guys, it's a lipstick tube, don't you boys know anything?" I said, tossing it to X-ray who juggled it in his hands.
"Oh yeah we boys totally knew that, and we also know who those guys above your bed are and we totally know which lipstick color goes with our skin tone." X-ray said.
"Ok, one those are the Jonas Brothers, only the hottest guys ever! And 2 your color is definitely mauve. Squid, I think you're more of a coral pink and ZigZag…" Squid gave me a 'would you shut up already' look and smiled. I went back to digging my hole when I saw X-ray take it from Caveman and give him a little nod.
"I don't see why he couldn't let Caveman keep it; I mean it's just a lipstick shell, what's the Warden want with lipstick?" I asked Squid and we walked back to the camp.
"I don' know. Maybe it's got something to do with the treasure we're diggin' for." He said, looking out in front of him.
"I'm digging holes to help find some lady's treasure. And what would lipstick have to do with treasure. Unless the treasure is lipstick then I totally want it because I've been meaning to get a new shade, my old lipstick just isn't cutting it and…"
"Shorty, shut up." Squid said and laughed. I looked up at him and he smiled. "You talk way too much."
"Well then maybe we should stop talking." I said and went to kiss him. He stopped me. "What, you don't want to kiss me now, I mean just the other day you…"
"Shorty, there are guys watching. I can't kiss you in front of the guys."
"Why not?" I asked.
"Cause, it's not cool." Squid said quietly.
"Fine." I said and we continued walking in silence. Then Squid smiled.
"We'll just have to wait for them to go to sleep." I smiled too.
"But what if I can't wait that long." We had gotten to the tent, it was empty, and the rest of the guys must have been showering, except Caveman who was still digging when we left.
"Fine." Squid said. I smiled and stood on my toes and kissed him. It seemed live forever.
"Oh Shit!" We heard Zero scream. We pulled away fast as we saw Zero standing in the entrance, mouth open.
"Yo, did I just hear Zero talk?" ZigZag said running in along with D-tent.
"Dude, Zero, what was that all about?" Armpit said huffing.
"Oh Shit." Zero said, pointing at us.
"Great time to talk Zero." Squid mumbled. I laughed.
"Why was Zero shouting oh shit?" Magnet asked looking at us.
"Uh…uh…no idea." We said looking at each other.
"Wait, were you guys…"X-ray started.
"Psht….psht….we weren't….no…." I stammered.
"You were… you were listening to that country music she has in that iPod." ZigZag said. X-ray hit him over the head.
"They were kissing dip shit." Armpit said.
"They were kissing!?" ZigZag said. His eyes got wide. I rolled my eyes.
"Yes we kissed…ok it's not a big deal." Squid said walking over to his cot.
"No it's not, we totally saw it coming." X-ray said. Before we could protest, Caveman walked in the tent.
"Hey caveman what's shaking'?" I asked, trying to get off subject.
"Uh, just finished digging my hole. What are you guys doing?"
"Oh nothing just caught Squid and Shorty making out." X-ray said in a smart ass tone. We both blushed.
"So you guys aren't gonna, well, you know…." Armpit started. We both made a face.
"Ew, no, no, no, no, no!" I said waving my hands in front of my face.
"Hey guys, Mom called a meeting, so we should, go." Squid said making his way out the door. I caught up with him.
"Sorry about them coming in, I mean now they're gonna call you names and…" Squid kept a straight face. "You know you could say something like 'oh I don't care' or 'oh it's ok Shorty'."
"Yeah but, I don't want to lie." Squid said as we entered the meeting room. We all took our seats. It was Magnet then Squid, me, Caveman, X-ray, Zero and then ZigZag. Mom sat down in between caveman and me.
"So we are here again. Last time we discussed why you all are here. Now I want to get into a touchier subject." Mom said leaning back in his chair.
"Mom, look you know we don't like talking bout this stuff." ZigZag said.
"Now I think it's good for you guys to talk about this stuff. It'll help clear your conscience. Now let me see…Kelly." He said. I looked up from staring at the floor. "Tell us about yourself."
"Uhm…I'm Kelly Jackson, when I came here I was a junior at John R. Kennedy High. I live in an average house with my mom, brother and sister. My sister is 19 and has a kid, and my brother is 17, a year older than me, and he works at Louis' Gas Station down the street from my house. I'm the only one in my entire family that has ever considered college." I said, as I looked back to the ground.
"I see Kelly. So your life isn't that great is it?" Mom said, not smiling.
"I never said my life was bad. It's good, I have good friends, a good family, and I might get into college." I said very matter oh factly.
"So Kelly, anything else you'd like to say about yourself before we move on?"
"Uh, sure. I don't think people should ever wonder what people are gonna say or think about them. Live your life to the fullest. Do whatever you want. It's your life, not someone else's. Love who you want to love, play what you want to play, dance how you want to dance." I said, looking at Squid quickly and finally sitting up. The whole room was quiet for a second until Squid cleared his throat.
"Alan, do you have something to say?" Mom asked, shifting his attention to him.
"What? Oh…no. Just has something in my throat that's all." He said quietly.
"Anyone have anything to add?" Nobody said anything. "Alright then you can all leave." Everyone got up, but by then I was already out the door. I sat on my cot and pulled out my journal. I began writing in it.
So, there you go
I see you walking
Quietly
You pass by
So slowly
Do you even know I'm here?
And then the world stops
When you look at me
And for a second, I can't breath
I catch my breath and I feel fine
Just give me a little time
I made you mad
That's not okay
I said I'm sorry
But you looked away
And now I'm here
Standing in front of you
Asking what I can do
And then the world stops
When you look at me
And for a second, I can't breath
I catch my breath and I feel fine
Just give me a little time
I put down my pen, and re-read the lyrics I had just written. It was weird how I could just put what I was feeling into words randomly. I began humming the tune I had in mind for it. I didn't hear someone come in the tent.
"That sounds really good, what song it that?" It was caveman, the other boys had gone to the wreck room, but he had come to check up on me, how sweet.
"What? Oh that, just something I whipped up 2 seconds ago." I blushed.
"Well I think it sounds good, could I hear it?" He took a seat on the cot that was next to mine.
"Sure, I guess." I opened my notebook and began singing the song. When I was done caveman clapped quietly.
"That was really good, how'd you come up with that so quickly?" Was he interested in my song… really?
"I guess I just wrote down what I was feeling." I said, looking down at the page. Then I realized that I had to talk to Squid. "Sorry Caveman, but I have to find Squid." I darted out of the tent before he could answer me. I got about two feet out of the tent and I ran into someone.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't watching were I was going." I said to the ground as I stood up.
"Nah, its ok Shorty." It was Squid.
"Oh, hey." I said back, dusting myself off.
"Why don't you come to the wreck room, the guys are wondering where you are." He said and pulled me towards the Wreck room. I smiled.
"I'm glad to see their concern." I said and started walking towards the wreck room. "Do you want to go on a date sometime?" I blurted out randomly. I soon as I said that I covered my mouth.
"I would love to Shorty, but incase you haven't noticed, there is no place to go…at all." He was smiling. "Unless you call our little walks to our digging site a romantic stroll in a garden, which I wouldn't do anyways." He added.
"Well, I suppose your right." I said. We had finally reached the wreck room, when Squid turned me around to face him. He looked at my face before laughing.
"You really should do something about that sunburn." He said. I punched him in the arm and entered the room. "So we're cool now?" he called from outside.
"We're cool." I said as I turned around. I walked over to him and gave him a hug. He didn't give one back but I could totally tell he loved it.
