Sorry it has taken so long to update. Our computer messed up and so the computer guy at my dads office came and took it back to the office. We just got it back yesterday and I lost the fanfics I had been in the middle of typing up. Anywayz, I promise to update as ofter as I did before and probably sooner since I am done of school for the summer!!!

They would have talked all night but unfortunately Mom came and shooed the girl's back to their tents. The next morning everyone was slightly more awake now that the girl's were back. They chatted as they proceeded out to the lake bed with their shovels.
They didn't talk much as they dug to save their breath. Brandy's nose was back to the same colour but when she talked it sounded like she had a slight cold. Nobody mentioned it though, they knew it must hurt but she didn't complain, it wasn't her style.
They ate their lunch together but always had their mouths full so talking, yet again, was difficult. Everyone finished their hole within an hour of each other (Except for Zero, who finished early and talked to Steel the rest of the time).
They headed back to camp worn out but happy for the gang to be together again. After the guys had their showers they lounged around in the wreckroom for a little bit. They decided to go back to the girl's tent soon after because Thlump and his gang were in a fight with a couple other kids. It was too loud to talk.
In the tents they got talking about how they ended up at Camp Green Lake. A few people didn't want to talk but most were quite willing and even proud to tell their stories. Zigzag, Twitch and Magnet told their stories but the other D-Tent guys refused.
"I hadn't meant to set the stupid house on fire. It was some rich stiffs summer home and I climbed through the window. I Was experimenting with a bbq lighter and a can of hair spray. I ended up making a huge fire ball that set the carpet on fire. The fire spread quickly but I had enough time to get out of the house." Flame explained "Unfortunately a neighbour saw me from their window and recognized me, I guess there aren't that many super tall red heads."
Flame chuckled and turned slightly red recalling the insident. Her and Zigzag were lounging on her bed and she was wrapped in his arms.
"How 'bout you? I never heard you say how you ended up in here." Armpit asked Brandy.
"I had been down at the police station tons of times but never anything that serious, disturbing the peace, underaged drinking, indecent exposure (don't ask). Anyway, my math teacher asked me to stay after class because I had failed another test." Brandy explain staring at the ground "Everything started out fine, I was just slouching at my desk and he was sitting in a chair in front of me. Then it got...weird."
Squid had his arm around her waist and tightened his grip. He could just imagine what that man had done or said to her.
"What do you mean 'weird'?" Zigzag asked, puzzled.
Squid shot him a dirty look but Zigzag just shrugged and raised an eyebrow.
"He told me that there is no way that I could pass this year even if I got full marks on the rest of my tests. Then he said he would pass me if I did something for him." Brandy said quietly. "I wasn't sure what he meant but he leaned forward and put his hand on my face I just froze. He put his other hand on my thigh and started to move it up but I reached for my blade in my back pocket and had it at his throat in a minute."
Everyone sat in silence for a minute. Magnet was the first to break the silence.
"How did they sack ya?" he asked.
"Another teacher walked in at that moment and saw me with the knife to his throat. She panicked and called the cops and the rest is history." Brandy said leaning into Squid who held her tight.
No body knew what to say and even the girl's who heard the story before still felt bad for Brandy.
"It's okay guys, it was for the best." Brandy said with a small smile.
"How do you recon that?" Squid said.
"It turns out I was the fourth girl he did that too. The girls all came and saw me before I was sent here. They told me that they were to scared to do anything but since I had stood up to him, he had stopped." Brandy said.
Before they could say anything else Mom came into the tent.
"Good, you are all here!" he said brightly. "I am to inform you that to complete your punishment for terrorizing the camp-"
"We didn't terrorize it, we just... had a night of freedom." Armpit said interupting.
"Like I was saying, to complete your punishment you all will recieve group councilling with me twice a week for an hour." Mom said.
"Like hell I am gonna sit with you for an hour in a confined space." Jam said snorting.
"Well you are even if we have to carry you there kicking and screaming. Sessions start tomorrow night, in the cafeteria." Mom said and turned to leave.
"You better bring half a dozen strong guys cause I am not going without a fight." Jam yelled after him.
