Evan walked up to Grace after she got done digging her hole the next day.
"Hi Grace!" he said.
"Oh, hey." She said.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
It's time for me to tell him.
"Oh, well, I was just thinking." Grace said.
"About what?" Evan asked.
"Well, something that happened last Friday." She said. "
What Grace?" he asked.
"Well, when I was dancing with Stanley, he uh, he um, well, he just.."
"Did he hurt you?!" he interrupted, sounding worried.
"Oh, no! He didn't. He just said something, that's all." She said.
"What did he say Grace?" he asked.
"He said that...he loves, me." She said.
"So?" he asked.
"So..I couldn't answer him." Grace said.
"How come?" he asked. Grace was stunned. She thought he knew that they belonged together. She couldn't find her voice.
"Grace? Did you think that you couldn't answer because of me?" he asked. "You belonging to me?" he said, correcting himself. Grace nodded.
"Oh Grace. No. I'm your best friend. That doesn't mean that you can't get a boyfriend." He said, laughing. Grace laughed.
"Why are you laughing at me?!?!" she exclaimed, smiling.
"You're just..funny. Listen Grace, do you love him back?" he asked. Grace stopped laughing.
She hadn't really thought of that.
Courtni and Magnet were playing pool with Squid and Charm. Court and Magnet, so far, were winning.
"Oh, yeah! I'm gonna beat your little butts!" said Magnet. Court looked at him like he was so adorable. She smiled.
"Oh yeah? Well watch this." Squid said. He took a shot and the solid green ball rolled in.
"Ha! Now we're even!" said Squid. Magnet made a face and he took a shot and did the same thing.
"Now we're not!" he said. And this went on for the whole game. Even when Court and Charm took turns, the girls weren't the ones talking competitive back and forth. The boys did.
Finally, the game ended and Court and Magnet won. Squid sat back and frowned. "Nobody beats me and my girlfriend in pool!" he exclaimed. Charm rolled her eyes. She really didn't care if they lost. But she did like how Squid was backing her up.
"Hmm, uh, let's see now..I just did!" said Magnet. Courtni laughed and hugged him. He was so cute.
Twitch was trying to fix the antenna of the broken TV. Zig-Zag was looking at last years TV Guide. "Now?" asked Twitch. "Nope." Zig-Zag said.
"Let's play another game if you think you're so tough." Squid said.
"Fine." Magnet said. Then they started playing their 3rd game of the day. The boys didn't even take a shower. Charm and Courtni took showers while the boys played the 1st game. But, luckily, Armpit smelled worse so no one could really smell Squid and Magnet.
It was time for lights out when they were halfway through the 4th game.
"Tomorrow, we start another game." Squid said.
"Deal." Said Magnet, and then they shook hands. Court thought it was so cute how they would act like businessmen here at Camp Green Lake.
It just looked funny. She smiled.
"Great!" exclaimed Zig-Zag. "Dumb Twitch over here can't even fix a TV so I can watch Star Trek!"
"Shut-up Zig." Twitch said. And they argued on like that until they reached D-Tent. Magnet, Courtni, Squid, and Charm made their way back to D-Tent as well.
"So, Court, wanna go to the dance with me again on Friday?" Magnet asked as they were walking to D-Tent.
"Sure!" said Court.
"Well, speaking of dancing, wanna go with me Charm?" Squid asked.
"Ok!" she said.
They finally reached D-Tent and saw Twitch and Zig still arguing on their cots. (Their cots were next to each other.) X-Ray and Armpit were playing some game that involved dice. No board game, just dice. They looked extremely bored.
"Who won?" asked X.
"Me and my girl, Courtni." Magnet said. That made Court feel really good. His girl. she thought. She smiled and looked at Magnet. He smiled back with an adorable smile with a twinkle in his eye. She hugged him.
"Ooo, Squid never loses!" said Armpit. Squid made a face, clearly not happy with Armpit rubbing it in.
"Do you?" asked Evan.
"I-I-I've never, uh, really thought.about...it." she said.
"Then think about it now." He said. She sat down on the dried up lake bed. Evan sat down next to her. After a long silence, Grace came to a decision.
"Hi Grace!" he said.
"Oh, hey." She said.
