Chapter three

Kayla woke up really early in the morning. The boys had told her she'd be getting up early, but none of them were up yet. She was used to getting up this early, because she would wake up everyday and work out for an hour, then go back to bed until 6:00. Kayla got out of her cot. She stretched then did sit-ups, push-ups, and crunches and then stretched again. She was looking around for something she could use as weights, when the bugle went off. The D-Tent got up. They all looked dead. Magnet walked over to Kayla's cot. He lifted up the sheets, but she wasn't there.

"What the?!" He turned around and saw her already up, dressed, and ready to go. She didn't look the least bit tiered. "When did you get up?" He asked walking over to her.

"About twenty minuets ago." She looked around at everyone. They were all groaning and stumbling around, trying to find their clothes. "I thought you guys said that we have to get up super early."

"Ya, well for normal people, this IS early." Zigzag said grumpily.

"Normal? You're normal." Kayla said smugly.

"Hey! Watch it or I'll-"

"Both of you shut-up!" X-ray said, sounding annoyed.

Magnet showed Kayla where the "library" was. Kayla grabbed two shovels and started to measure them. She figured that each shovel couldn't be the same size. So she tried to find the shortest one. X-ray walked over and took one shovel out of her hands.

"This ones mine." He said, pointing to the red tape on it.

Magnet walked over to Kayla. "X-ray always takes that one, cuz it's the smallest."

"He must be blind." Kayla thought. "Cuz, that one was the bigger of the two shovels I had."

Squid walked over. "Smaller shovel, smaller hole."

Kayla grabbed a tortilla covered in honey and took two bites, before throwing it down.

Mr. Sir led the D-Tent over to where they'd be digging. Everyone started digging. Kayla found a crack and placed her shovel in it. She jumped on the shovel and fell backwards.

"One down. Only about three million to go." Mr. Sir laughed. He got in the truck and drove away.

***

Kayla finally got the rhythm. Dig. Scoop. Toss. Dig. Scoop. Toss. It was very repetitive. She wasn't very far behind from the boys, even though it was her first day. Finally, the water truck came. Everyone got out of their holes. Magnet went over to Kayla's hole. He stretched out his hand, offering her help to get out. Kayla glared at him and got out the opposite side of her hole.

Magnet walked over to her. "You get any blisters?"

Kayla looked down at her hands. They were all red and swollen. She hadn't even noticed them hurting, but now they stung.

"Ouch. Those look painful." Magnet said, trying to be nice.

Kayla smiled to herself. This guy just wouldn't quit. She got to the back of the line, behind Zero. Mr. Sir got out of the truck and filled everyone's canteens one by one. He got to Kayla.

"It ain't what you were expecting was it Mrs. McLean? Looks like you got yourself nasty blisters."

Kayla looked at Mr. Sir. "Yes Mr. Sir," she said with a hint of sarcasm.

Kayla took a drink of water then hopped into her hole. Magnet came and sat on the edge of her hole.

"So where did u come from? Like what state."

Kayla didn't say a word. She just kept digging her hole, not looking up.

"Ummmm..hey here's a question, why don't you ever answer me?! I'm trying to be a good guy and be nice, but you won't talk!" Magnet looked distraught.

"New York City." Kayla mumbled.

Magnet looked both shocked and confused. "what?"

"I came from New York City," Kayla said simply. She was still digging her hole, she hoped that Magnet would be satisfied by that and would leave her alone. Magnet smiled. "Well I gotta get to my hole before you beat me. That would be embarrassing!" He walked back to his hole.

"oh great now he thinks were friends!" Kayla thought to herself.

Finally Kayla finished her hole. Zero and X-ray were already done theirs. Kayla got out and did what X-ray had told her to do when he had finished his; he spat in it. Squid, who had just finished too, spat in his then walked over to Kayla.

"Hey." He mumbled, looking at the ground.

"Hey." Kayla said quietly. They silently walked back to the camp, there was something about Squid that made Kayla fell comfortable.

*** Kayla walked into the wreck room and headed over to a corner, so she could sit alone and relax. She sat down and rested her head against the side in the tent. Squid, Magnet, Ziggy, And X-ray all came over and sat around her.

"Hey, you going to tell us what you got sent here for?" X-ray asked.

"Nope." Kayla smiled. "But don't worry, I will eventually."

"Come on X, lets play pool!" Zig said to X-ray. The two of them went off to play pool.

"Can you excuse us?" Magnet asked Squid. Squid nodded and left to go to the tent.

Kayla watched Squid go, she did want him to leave. She looked at Magnet.

"Do you want to tell me why you're here?"

Kayla shook her head. She really didn't want him to think he was special to her.

"Okay, listen I'm here if you ever need to talk. Or if you just want someone to listen to you." He got up and started to leave.

Kayla nodded. "Hey magnet?"

He turned around and looked at Kayla.

Kayla smiled, "thanks."

He nodded and went to join the pool game.

Kayla got up and walked out to the tent. She sighed, all in one day her thoughts about people caring about her changed. Just last night she had been saying, "There wasn't a soul out there that cared about her." Now she had Magnet caring about her. But even though Magnet was nice and stuff, he just didn't seem like someone she would want to talk to. There was only one person here she would feel comfortable talking to. But he didn't put out as much effort as Magnet did. She was confused.
