Vic's POV

"I expected you to be more…I don't know depressed with your girl gone." Geoff noted.

"She's not my girl." I shrugged "But there's no point in dwelling on people who are gone, gotta move forward."

"See that's the spirit, don't get tied down." Duncan said carving a skull into the cabin wall.

"Okay who made smores out of my underwear!" Harold yelled.

"That's not gonna wash out." I scoffed.

"Pfft." The all laughed.

"Despite saying that they'd stop if Harold picked up after himself they've kept the bullying up…because he didn't stop making a mess." I winked "I've got a plan in place for them, just wait."

"Listen up cockroaches!" the loudspeaker boomed "I want all campers to report to the Dock of Shame at 0900 hours…that means now!"

We all quickly headed off to the dock where Chef was waiting in full military garb.

"What is this." I sighed as he walked down the line.

"Stop slouching!" he whacked me.

"OW!"

"Today's challenge will not be an easy one, in fact everyone may not make it out alive." He warned us "My job is to make sure all but one of you babies drops outta my boot camp, last one gets immunity for their team."

"Uhh what happened to Chris?" Heather asked.

"RULE ONE!" he yelled "You will address me as Master Chief, got that."

"Yes Master Chief Sir!"

"You will sleep when I tell you to sleep and eat only when I say to eat, is that clear?"

"Yes Master Chief!" Geoff yelled.

"Rule two! When you want to give up you walk to the end of the Dock and Ring the bell!" he added "Which brings us to rule three, there will be one quitter before the end of the first day, and that day won't end till someone drops out! Now get your butts to the beach NOW!"

"AHH!" we all ran off.

"This sucks." I sighed a bit and ran off.

On the beach were two Canoes, one for each team.

"Listen up, each team must hold a Canoe over their heads, take your hands off and you will be eliminated!" he explained "and no one eats lunch till someone drops out. Canoes up!"

"This won't be hard, piece of cake." Geoff laughed.

Then three hours passed.

"What was that about piece of cake Geoff?" I growled.

"Come on you sissy babies it's only been three hours." Chef said.

"Sounds like they missed lunch." Chris laughed.

"Seems like they just weren't hungry!" Chef yelled.

"No fair, Chris weighs way less than Chef." I grumbled.

The two men were sitting on our Canoes now to weigh them down.

"Problem down here?!" he yelled.

"No Master Chief!" I answered "No problems Sir!"

We stood there so long I started to feel the aches in my arms, thankfully once nightfall hit Lindsay dropped out.

"Oh thank god." I groaned.

We were finally allowed to eat in the cafeteria, for ten minutes and only what we could find in the trash. As usual Courtney and Duncan fought over something, but she seemed less interested than usual.

"For your next challenge you will complete a 300 word essay about how much you love me." Chef said "Anyone who falls asleep or fails to compete the challenge will be eliminated."

"It's times like this I wish Katie was still here to cut the mood." I said scribbling stuff down.

"Quit complaining, just shut up and write." Courtney said.

We had about two hours, plenty of time to bullshit about how great the food was and how Chef's upbeat attitudes made my morning.

"Time's up!" he yelled when the alarm went off and started skimming them "I love Master Chief, he is very, very, very, very, very…very…this is just one long sentence with five pages of very written on it!"

"What it's 300 words exactly." Duncan laughed "I counted."

"Grr…the sleepers are out." He told Trent and DJ "The rest of you report to the training field at 0500."

"Missed a spot when you ate sir." Duncan pointed at Chef's shirt.

"You wanna run fifty laps around this camp boy?!"

"No thanks!" Courtney grabbed Duncan "He's going right to bed!"

"Are you trying to make us lose?" she snapped at him.

"Didn't know you cared." He laughed.

"I don't want to lose so stop being such a screw up!" she said.

"She wants me." He nodded.

"Oh totally." Geoff chuckled.

"Yup." I sighed as we got back to the cabin, Duncan and Geoff went off to use the bathroom, but that left me alone with Harold.

"What's the matter, still got that grease taste in your mouth?" I asked "I got a left over candy bar if you want it."

"Really?" he gasped.

"Sure, you know Harold you gotta stick up for yourself more." I said tossing him a Candy and rolling into bed "If the others are pushing you around…push back."

The Next morning

"You will run this course until you can complete it in one minute." Chef told us when we arrive at his obstacle course "Am I clear?"

"Crystal." Duncan nodded.

"If you lose this for us I'll make you so miserable." Courtney glared.

"GO MAGGOTS!"

"Yes Sir!" we took off running.

The main part of the course was easy, sheer wall, tire jump, rope swing, barbwire crawl…deadly axes.

"AH!" I yanked my head through "Too close."

"I don't think your hair can say the same thing bro." Geoff laughed.

"My ponytail!" I yelped seeing that it had been cut of.

"It took me six years to get it that long…this sucks!"

It didn't take long for people to start getting knocked out, first Harold and then Leshawna got stuck in the mud.

"Are we done yet?" I sighed.

"It'd be better if we were." Duncan said.

"That's twenty more push-ups." Chef told us.

"Thank you, sir!" Duncan kissed his nose.

"GRR!"

"That's was dumb." I told him.

"Yep…" he sighed.

"One-night solitary confinement in the boat house." Chef told him.

"Enjoy your punishment." I went back to the course.

Soon the last of us managed to run it in what Chef felt was a suitable time, enough to give us a break for dinner.

"I'm going to check on him." Courtney sighed.

"You like him." Geoff teased.

"I do not." She scoffed.

"Yeah you do." I nodded "It's been obvious since like…day one."

"No only do I not like him, I hate him." She said "He's rude and rebellious, he's so annoying…I' gonna go check on him."

"If Chef catches you you'll end up in there with him." I said "But…maybe that's what you want."

"Shut up!" she yelled walking off.

"She likes him." Geoff laughed.

"Oh totally…which is why we should keep an eye on them." I looked over my shoulder "After all couples are basically alliances, so she may be looking to pocket Duncan on us."

"Nah dude, that ain't Duncan's style."

"Just saying." I shrugged spinning my spoon "Dude is this stuff…actually edible."

"It's better than the trash my brother." Geoff ate some.

"Well when you put it that way." I sighed "Yeah."

After eating our slop we headed back to get a little rest before the next days events.

"Look what we got!" Duncan burst in with a pile of food.

"Is that…real?" Owen asked.

"The genuine article." He laughed "Me and the Princess jacked some."

"Courtney…stole?" I gasped picking up a cookie.

Confessional.

"She's actually loosening up…although I'm not sure which I would hate more, by the book Courtney or totally unhinged Courtney?"

"Ugh Gross!" Harold yelled looking at his bed.

"See waste of good peanut butter." Duncan laughed walking outside.

"I'd wash those." I told Harold "Or you'll get bugs."

I leaned over the edge of my bed and looked out the window to see Courtney kissing Duncan.

"…great." I hummed "Look at that Harold, why is it that guys who act like that get all the girls…don't you just wish you could be the one in charge once in a while.

"I guess."

"Take charge of your own life dude." I said walking off "Chef's gonna be calling us early so I'm off to bed."

The Next Morning

The last challenge, hanging upside down from a tree. There were only three people left on each team, me, Duncan and Courtney and then Heather, Owen and Gwen.

"This is an ancient form of torture." Chef said "By now the blood will start rushing to your head, the next stage is nausea and then dizziness…flushed appearance as the blood pools in your eyes, you might even faint."

"UGH!"

"Duncan!" Courtney yelped as the other boy fell out of the tree.

"He's okay!" Bridgette yelled.

"I've hung like this all the time back home." I looked over at the other team.

"That's it." Heather let herself fall "I'm done with this."

"AH!" Owen fell out as well and landed on top of her.

"HmHmHm." Courtney giggled "HAHAHA!"

"Stop laughing!" Chef warned her.

"Sorry, I can't help it." She laughed louder "WHOA!"

"One on one." I sighed as she fell out "It's you and me Gwen."

"I expected better from you." Chef told Courtney.

"Ahem, Master Chief, I just have something I have to say to you." Cortney smiled.

"And that is…?"

"You like…really…need to take a chill pill." she laughed.

"What the hell…" Gwen gasped.

"Bad Courtney is crazy." I added.

"Okay Vic it's all up to you!" Courtney yelled standing with Duncan.

All on me then…

"GAH!" I felt my left leg slip off "I'm slipping here!"

"Come on, just let go." Gwen smirked.

"Shit!" I slid all the way down and hit the ground "I'm okay!"

"Gwen wins!" Chef said "I'd go to war with you anytime."

"Uhh thanks." She dropped out of the tree into her teams arms.

Later

"Again, we have to stop meeting like this." He laughed as we gathered around "Well you know the drill."

One by one we got up and voted.

"Why change what's worked." I held up my slip "Courtney."

I went back out and sat down as Harold stepped in after me.

"I only have six marshmallows." Chris told us "And these Marshmallows represent the campers that will keep being campers. You all cast your ballots if I don't call you name you must walk the Dock of Shame, take the Boat of Losers and never come back…ever."

"Duncan."

"Yeah!"

"DJ."

"Alright!"

"Vic."

"Cool." I got up.

"Geoff…and Bridgette."

"Campers." Chris looked at Courtney and Harold "There's only one marshmallow left…Harold."

"WHAT?!" Courtney screamed.

"Hehehe." I snickered a bit.

"You kept that dork over me?!" She yelled.

"Huh?" Geoff gasped.

"Yes I know it's always a shocker." Chris said

"This is an outrage! I demand a recount!" Courtney yelled.

"Come on just go out with dignity." I smirked at her.

"This ain't right, none of us voted for her." Duncan said "This sucks."

"I was your only hope! I was a CIT!" Courtney yelled.

"See you later Courtney." DJ waved.

"Bye-Bye." I smirked as she was dragged off.

"I don't know what happened." I walked by Harold "But boy, that sure was interesting."

"Hey, all I did was say to stick up for himself…after that it's in his hands. But now Courtney knows not to mess with other peoples plans without having a surefire back up plan. I'll give her credit…she was a CIT to the very end."
