Chapter 2 Jordan's Past
The guys in D-tent were shocked at what they saw. Jordan's brown hair fell down to past his shoulders. He wasn't HE. It was a girl!
"Y-you're not-"
"A gi-"
"What the fu-"
"A GIRL tried to knock me out! That's some funny shi-"
"What are yo-"
"Woah!"
"Yeah, I'm a girl, so what?" she said a little uneasy, her voice less deep.
"Well, you're the only girl here! That's ALL!" came Zig-Zag's reply. (A/N: he's the one who said "woah" lol, thought you should know)
"Not for long."
"What'd'ya mean?" Caveman asked.
"The Warden told me that more were coming, but I should keep a low profile, just in case."
"In case of what?"
"In case she didn't like how I worked. She said if I did okay, she was bringing more girls to the camp."
"HALLELUJAH!"
"We get to be around GIRLS!"
"Yay!"
"How 'bout that," X-ray said out of the blue. "Jordan.... that is your real name, right?"
"Yeah. I figured some other guys had that name, so I wouldn't hafta change it or nothin."
"You still have that accent! Were you telling the truth about your parents? How your half Mexican!" Magnet asked, hopefully.
"Yeah."
"Aight. Anyways," X-ray continued, "I was about to say you can punch pretty good for a girl."
"My best friend is a guy. His name is Joey. Him and his family is really nice. Him and his dad taught me to box. Matt, my mom's boyfriend, taught me how to throw punches before that, though. I never get to see Matt, so Joey and his dad taught me a few things."
"Why don't you ever see Matt?" Caveman asked.
"Because my mom and dad are split up, and because of a custody battle, my dad keeps me. Him and Loraine do. I hate them."
"Why?"
"Why are you guys so damn interested in my life all the sudden? Huh? Is it because I'm a fucking girl?"
"Woah, Jordan, language," X-ray said, half sniggering.
"Whatever."
"We're interested because we have nothing better to do," Squid said, lazily.
"My man is playing. We just wanted to know a little about you," Armpit said, chunking a pillow at Squid.
"Well, it's shitty."
"LANGUAGE!"
"What? Our excuses or your life?" questioned Squid.
"Both." She looked him straight in the eye and the first time he noticed her dark, ice blue eyes, and for the first time she noticed his were chocolate brown.
"Anyways," X-ray continued, "you were saying?"
"Where was I at?"
"You said you hated your dad and Loraine, whoever she is."
"She's my step-mom. They hate my guts, so I return the feelings. My dad is abusive towards me, Kelly, Logan, and Christine. Loraine drinks and doesn't do anything about it when he abuses us, but expects us to help her when he hits her."
"That's bullshit," Squid said, daydreaming.
"My story, or what they do?"
"What they do."
"Oh, yeah, it is."
"Did your dad and Loraine actually try to win the custody thing?" Twitch asked.
"Yeah. They made it look like my mom and Matt were abusers, idiots, and didn't care for me! I have no clue how they managed that. Loraine's kids even took the stand and fought for my mom! You know what I think? I think they paid the judge off! They're always getting money from selling stuff like dope. And pawning things."
"That's wack!" X-ray said.
"Yeah. My mom and Matt mean the world to me! They have a beautiful house and tons of teens my age in the neighborhood. They care so much for me! And everytime I go over there, they're so kind, so loving. Nothing like where I live."
"Who's Kelly and Logan and Christine or whoever," Zig-Zag asked.
"Oh, sorry. Loraine's kids, my step-siblings. Christine is 16, Logan is 12, and Kelly is only 5. Christine told me when she turned 17, she was going to leave that hell-hole of a home and take me, Logan, and Kelly with her. She turns 17 in a month. I was so close."
"So close to what?" Caveman asked, noticing her eyes tearing up.
"To leaving! I was finally going to be free! To be where someone cares for me! To be with my family! Even though they're step-siblings, they still mean the world to me! They're the nicest people, apart from my mom and Matt, and Joey and his parents! Fallon was the nicest girl my age that I knew, and I had to go and kill her!" Tears were now rolling freely out of her blue eyes, down her cheek, and onto her lap.
"It's okay," X-ray said uneasily. He wasn't used to comforting a girl. He walked to her bed and patted her head like she was a dog. Caveman, more used to comforting people (because of his mom) walked to her cot, stopped X-ray from giving her a headache, and rubbed her back gently.
Jordan got up from her cot and wiped her cheeks away. She couldn't break down like this. Especially not in front of these guys. "I'm okay. It's okay. Stop treating me like a damn girl!"
"But you ARE a girl!" Magnet shot back.
"I don't care. Don't be sorry for me either." She noticed that was rude and quietly added, "Please."
"Okay. But you're the one that said it. Are you finished, or do you still have more?" X-ray asked.
"There's a little more. My mom has a 3 year old boy named Nick. So he's my brother, right? He doesn't even remember my name. He gets scared whenever I go over their house. You know how often I visit? Once every 2 years! I saw him once when he was 1, and once about 3 months ago! And I had to find out by a LETTER 2 months ago, a month after I visited, that my mom is pregnant! She was about 2 months pregnant when I visited them, but they weren't TOO sure, so they didn't tell me. That means she's....... 5 months pregnant now! I won't even be home to go VISIT the baby, because Christine promised she would drive me to my mom's house to see it! Now, I can't even do that!"
"Take it easy! Just calm down," Magnet said.
"Okay, I'm sorry. I just hate it that I'm stuck here."
"Girl, we all hate it," Armpit said.
"It's better than being with your dad, tho, isn't it?" asked Squid.
"Yeah, definitely. But I always had a place to runaway to when I was there. Here, there's no place but....... here."
"Yeah, I know what you mean," X-ray said.
"Where do you go when you hafta pee?" Jordan asked, crossing her legs.
"Pick a hole, any hole," Magnet replied.
She went to go pee, and when she came back, the guys were laughing uncontrollably at something. Everyone except the guy with the sea animal name.
"What so funny?" she asked, sitting down on her cot.
"We noticed that Squid liked how you walk!" Armpit said in between chuckles.
"Huh?"
"He was watchin' you so much, he leaned a little too far over to get a better view of you, and fell on the ground! It was hilarious!"
"Pit!" X-ray added, "Don't forget the drool that was dripping from his mouth!" He imitated a dog panting with his tongue hanging out, and fell onto the floor, obviously imitating what Squid had done.
Jordan blushed and walked over to where Squid was sitting on his cot. She turned around and bent over saying, "You like this view?" As a response, his face turned a violent red color. She stood up and walked back to her cot, smirking. The guys laughed even harder.
"Props to you, home girl!" Armpit said, bent over, clutching his stomach, he was laughing so hard. "That was funny!"
A very irritated Squid walked out of the tent, sat down on the dirt, and stared up at the stars.
"Did I make him mad?" Jordan asked, innocently, but surprised. "I'm sorry, I didn't mea-"
"It's aight," X-ray said. "He'll cool off."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Squid stared at the stars, trying to get calm. 'I don't like her,' he thought. 'I can't like her. I just can't. I'm not supposed to, am I?' He laid on his back and closed his eyes, and remembered what his best friend's, Charlie, dad had said.
*Flashback*
"Alan. Come over here," Charlie's dad, Mr. Rickman, called to him.
"Sir?" he asked, walking over to him.
"I'm going to tell you this, and you listen carefully. You can't care for any girl. They all bring heartbreak. Do you see me being true to my wife? No. And you wanna know why? Because she doesn't care shit about me."
"How do you know?"
"She told me. Last year."
"But you two were split up!"
"It doesn't matter. Feelings don't change. They can't."
*End of Flashback*
Mr. Rickman was the closest thing he had to a father, so Squid had always believed what he had to say. He always believed it was true. He was only 12, so he didn't know any better. All he knew was what his mom believed and what Mr. Rickman believed. He didn't have cable, so he didn't watch sappy movies or t.v. shows like everyone else.
Charlie didn't listen to his dad, and he had gotten his heart broken at least 3 times. 'Charlie learned his lesson,' Squid thought. 'He learned it the hard way. I don't want to learn it the hard way. I'm not going to fall in "love".'
He didn't hear Jordan come up behind him, and when she touched his shoulder, he jumped. He scrambled off the ground and stood up, dusting himself off.
"I wanted to talk to you. I just wanted to make sure you aren't TOO mad at me," she said quietly, avoiding his eyes.
"I'm not mad."
"Are you sure?"
"Not at anyone."
"Okay, just making sure." She got a mischievous look on her face then tackled him to the ground.
"Hey! What're you do-" she cut him off with a short peck on the lips. She sat on his waist and pinned him by the wrist. She bent down and they kissed, longer and more passionately. He wanted to stop it, but he didn't. Instead, he freed his arms and wrapped them around her waist. She put her hand behind his neck and pulled him into a sitting position. Before long, they heard wooping and hollering coming from behind them. They stopped kissing and turned around. The D-tent boys were watching from the entrance. Embarrassed, Jordan pushed herself up and helped Squid up, clearing her throat. She walked to the Rec Room, and Squid walked towards the shower stalls.
'I don't like her,' he thought.
