Vic's POV

"YAWW!" I yawned waking up when I heard some growling.

"Not cool Harold!" Duncan yelled "Stop leaving your shit all over the place."

"Those aren't mine." He tried to defend himself.

"Dude you're the only one that wears that kind." Geoff said.

"And your mom wrote the name on the waist band." DJ told him.

"It'd be cool if it was your own room but other people live here Harold, gotta keep your stuff in your area." I told him "And don't leave personals on the floor, it's just gross."

"Whatever, I'm going for a shower." Harold stomped off.

"I think Harold needs to be taught a lesson." Duncan smirked "Who's with me."

"Yeah!" Geoff and DJ were right on board.

"Vic?"

"Haa…alright." I shrugged.


Confessional Cut In

"Growing up as an orphan and loaned so I'm used to getting picked on a bit, older kids always did it at the orphanage I never really cared, it's a dog eat dog world out there, so long as it doesn't get out of hand I think a little bullying can help build character."


"Today's challenge will test your mind, your teamwork and your skills in the kitchen." Chris introduced the newest challenge "You'll be cooking a three-course meal and serving it to me for tasting, winners get a reward, losers send someone home. Each team picks a head chef who will pick the theme and oversee the cooking."

"What do we cock with, the left overs in the kitchen?" I asked.

"Hell no! I don't wanna eat that." Chris laughed as a truck pulled up "Every day we get a delivery, so you start there, good luck."

We headed over and pried open the back door.

"Hmm, we could do a killer Italian theme!" Geoff looked around.

"Found our head chef." Duncan smirked.

"Really? Alright then let's get grabbing." He laughed.

We went into the truck and pound things we could use for Italian dishes, dough for pastries, cured meats and vegetables, once we had our ingredients we headed into the kitchen.

"Alright we need three dishes so partner up." Geoff said "I'll supervise."

DJ and Bridgette were going to be making the main pasta dish, Katie and I were going to work with the appetizer, I took Harold on my team for this so that Duncan wouldn't kill him making dessert…but that meant green haired gangster was with Courtney for this one.

"I can make a great Antipasto, I'm a master at cutting the cheese." Harold told us.

"Hmph." Katie snickered.

"Dude…stop talking." I whacked my forehead.

We got to work, the main parts of the Antipasto were easy, you just had to cut thin slices of meat and cheese.

"Where do you want the water-Oops." DJ spilled water on Harold.

"Way to go!" the lanky boy scoffed.

"Tsk." I snickered a bit.

"You better go change bro." Geoff told him.

Harold headed out and Katie and I kept working.

"The way you chop that salami is so cute." She smiled watching me.

"Is that a euphemism?" I raised an eye brow.

"Not that I know of." She giggled "AH!"

"What?" I looked back "Oh dear lord."

Harold had arrived back and since his pants were soaked and I'm pretty sure Geoff stole the rest all he had was a pair of underwear that no one should wear in public.

"Okay who took all my shorts!" he yelled.

"PFFT!" most of us couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh…" Chris walked by and cringed "You got three hours to go!"

I sighed "Harold go find some pants, you can't cook with those on it's not safe."

"He's right you know, it's unsanitary to cook in something so…small." Geoff giggled.

"Then gimme back my pants!" Harold yelled.

"He's right." Duncan said "Go to the cabin, there'll be a clean pair of underwear and shorts waiting."

"Finally gosh." Harold ran off.

"If you idiots wanna bully him don't mind me, but don't let it screw up the challenge." I growled a bit and went back to slicing.

"Pfft, well it's a little late for that." Duncan laughed.

"What did you do this time?" I sighed.

"Oh…nothing" he spun a bottle of hot sauce in his hand.

"Okay know what that's actually pretty clever." I smirked.

"Can we just like…get to work?" Katie asked.

"Yeah, yeah."

We went back to making our various dishes, we had won two challenges in a row and everyone was eager to make it three. It took a bit but Harold did come back…in his Pajamas.

"What is that." Duncan laughed.

"This is all I have left." He sighed "So unless you idiots wanna see me naked, then hit me with your best shot."

"Just stop leaving your crap all over the cabin and we'll back off." Duncan told him.

"I told you it wasn't me!"

"Well I tried." Duncan shrugged.

"Hey I made some sandwiches so we can snack while we work." Geoff explained.

"I was seriously starving." Harold grabbed one and took a bite "This tastes like sweat…and lotion. It's the worst sandwich ever."

He removed the bread and saw that he was eating an underwear sandwich.

"Gross!"

"Just admit your guilt and we'll give your stuff back." Geoff laughed.

"GOSH!" Harold complained and went back to cubing the cheese.

The next couple hours passed without any more incidents but then it was time to serve our meal. The Gophers did their appetizer first followed by us.

"Hmm…" Chris hummed "Yeah I dig it, your Antipasto passed the Test-o, pass the pasta please."

We took one plate away and handed over the next which he spun his fork in and took a bite.

"On a scale of one to ten I'd say…fifteen!" he laughed "Gophers respond!"

There was a small delay…and then Owen walked out carrying a carcass with basically no meat on it.

"It's in the bag." I told Geoff.

"So this looks like it's Uhh…been eaten." Chris said.

"Not all of it." Owen pointed out "There's a chunk left on that bone."

"Hmm…" Chris ate the bite that would barely please a mouse "Know what I've had worse two points! Bass still lead 15 to 11, time for dessert."

Duncan and Courtney served their pastry cannoli like dessert and Chris took a bite.

"Hmm…six." She shrugged "Bass have twenty one, Gophers need all ten points just to tie."

The other team put down a cake like dish.

"Have you ever seen black and orange cake before?" I asked.

"Not outside Halloween." Katie added.

"GACK!" Chris coughed up a burnt chunk "What is that?"

"It's Heather's recipe." Lindsay said "AH She's still in fridge!"

"Fridge?" I laughed.

"What she was tripping." Leshawna shrugged.

"Oh I hear that." Chris laughed "AH!"

Heather came out of the kitchen, shivering with cold, poorly drawn on eyebrows and basically looking like death.

"You're all dead!" Heather yelled "Is it over?"

"It is." Chris smiled "Bass win 21 to 12 and not just cause I almost died, the ribs kinda sucked."

"GREAT!" Heather yelled "Just great!"

"Winners get a reward tonight." Chris said "A five star dinner under the stars!"

"ALRIGHT!"


Later

"WAHOO Free food!" Katie cheered taking a seat next to me "I got you an extra cupcake."

"Thanks." I smiled sitting with her and taking a bite.

"Oh you got some on you." She kissed my cheek "There we go."
