He kept his promise. Thank god for that. I would've been ruined. It was stupid and risky, yes, but nice to let it go. I kept a tight grip on my hat as Stanley stared at me from the tent.

"I'm not an alien, ya know." I mumbled.

"Yeah, I know. You're just really pretty.." I blushed pink and bit my lip.

"Thanks..." Stanley shifted his position and I bundled my hair back up in the hat.

"How long are you going to stay like that?" he asked. I shrugged.

"Until my time is up, I guess. And you aren't going to tell...anyone. Or I'll choke you in a hole." He smiled sheepishly.

"Yeah, I won't tell." Soon, the rest of D-Tent came back. I'd missed dinner. I grabbed a change of clothes and rushed out to the empty shower stalls. There couldn't be anyone around. Luckily, there wasn't. I quickly washed under the freezing cold water. I changed back into my jumpsuit afterwards and dared not complain about the hideous colors.

"Simon," I froze and saw the warden. My shoulders fell.

"Oh, hi," I greeted and faced her.

"How's the costume thing working?" She asked.

"Good, it's great." I lied between my teeth.

"Okay, good. Also I wanted to tell you, if there's anything you need just come and ask. Even showers, I know it can be difficult, so anything, just come and ask." For a minute she seemed really friendly. I nodded.

"Thank you, ma'am." I left back to the tent and made sure to secure my hat again. I stuffed my dirty clothes in a bag.

"Dude, you're kidding..." X-Ray mumbled.

"Nah man, I'm serious. that's what Rocko said." I glanced back over to them.

"Yo, What're ya'll talking 'bout?" Armpit asked.

"Pit, Rocko saw a girl here. He saw her in the showers." I froze and every muscle I had stiffened. I god hoped they didn't notice. I heard Stanley and Zero take in a sharp breath.

"Yeah, Rocko didn't get a good look of her, but he said she was hot." I turned red and pulled my hat down more.

"Man, we gotta find this chica." Magnet remarked.

"What'do you think, Little Man?" One of them asked. I tried my best not to stutter or crack my voice.

"I-I really don't care." I coughed to make it look realistic, but I would not turn around. They knew. They knew someone here was a girl. I'd defiantly be the first to go.

"Hey, you don't know. It may've been the warden." Stanley suggested. I almost ran over and hugged him. But that would give things away.

"Maybe, he did say she had red hair. So does the warden so...maybe." X-Ray said. They soon went to bed and I was terrified. All hell would break loose if they found out.

"Get up you low-lived pieces of crap!" Pensdanski screamed. I lugged myself out of bed and rubbed my crusty eyes. My memories of yesterday were foggy and clouded with memory loss. I went outside and found every boy talking with one another for some strange reason. They were snickering and carrying on about a girl. I took a shovel and winced at the pain. That would scar...forever.

"Hey, Scarlet Angel." I glanced behind and saw a kid with messy brown hair and droopy eyes.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Why do you keep doing that?" I crooked an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"You keep asking who I am and looking at me like you've never met me before. Are you alright?" asked him. I began to panic. I scratched down to my arm and saw Stanley sprawled in bold black letters.

"Oh, y-yeah...Sorry Stanley...Just a joke." I set my hand on his to remember him. It was cold but soft.

"What's wrong?" He asked softly.

"N-Nothing...I just want to thank you...For suggesting the warden last night. It saved my hide." I rushed, my memories returning.

"No sweat. I'm your friend, right?" He asked. I nodded and we began walking to the digging site.

"But you have to be more careful with that. I'm not always around for that." I nodded.

"The warden said I could shower at her place." I pulled my hat down.

"But I think they'll find out. Sometime they will. You have more than a year right?" asked Stanley. I nodded and bit my lip.

"Then watch your back."

"Alright,"
