Chapter 3 Weird Dreams
'I don't like her,' Squid thought. 'I DON'T LIKE HER!' Someone in the back of his head whispered, "Don't be a fool, boy. Of course you like her. You wouldn't have let her kiss you, other wise.' 'I do NOT like her. I CAN'T! I don't WANT to be heartbroken!' 'You never know unless you go for it. The girl's pretty. She might get taken soon. I think Magnet likes her a little.' 'I don't care. He can have her.' 'You know you care! You fool! Go after her!' the voice hissed.
He turned around and ran towards the Rec Room. When he got in there, Jordan was sitting on the couch staring at the blank t.v. screen and was the only one in there. She had her cap back on, hiding her eyes and her hair.
"Hey," she said, without looking up. "I hoped you were coming after me."
"How'd you know it was me?" he asked, sitting down beside her.
"I just had a feeling." She looked up. "You hate me for what I did, don't you?"
"If I did, I would have pushed you away, wouldn't I have?"
"I guess. I don't know." She hesitated, then said, "You don't like me, do you? You just returned the kiss because you haven't seen a girl in only God knows how long. You just wanted a kiss. Just not from me."
"I didn't think I wanted a kiss at all until that! Boy! Talk about good!"
"You're just saying that to make me feel better."
"No, I really mean it." He cupped her chin in one hand and stroked her cheek with the other. 'You don't like her. YOU CAN'T LIKE HER!' He stopped what he was doing, and put his hands in his lap.
"I knew it. I'm going back to the tent."
"Why?"
"Because! You're like every other guy! You just want ONE kiss, and after that, you don't want me!"
"Yes, I do! It's just- come over here and sit down so we can talk TO each other."
"Fine." She walked to the couch and sat back down. Squid took her hand and squeezed it tight.
"I'm sorry. I was just brought up not to have anything to do with girls." He kissed her and walked back to D-tent. She sat there staring at the entrance, baffled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Squid walked into D-tent and all the guys started asking so many questions, it sounded like nothing but yelling.
"Shut up! I can't hear you all at the same time! Besides, I don't feel like answering any damn questions, anyway."
"Why are you so touchy, dawg?" Armpit asked.
"No reason! IT'S NOTHING!"
"Fine."
"Whatever, man," Magnet said. Jordan walked in, her cap once again was off, and her eyes were red and puffy. She stalked over to her cot, laying stomach down so noone could see the tears in her eyes, though they knew she was crying. "What's wrong," Magnet asked, walking over to her, and gently rubbed her back.
"It's nothing. I'm just tired," was her reply, but he knew better. He sat down next to her and said, "Que pasa?"
"I'm tired," she repeated. "That's all."
"Okay," he said, but stayed put, rubbing her back.
'That feels so good,' Jordan thought. 'Magnet is so sweet. But I like Squid, don't I?' 'Shut up, girl! You don't know your left from your right, so how in the hell would you know which one to choose?' came a voice from the back of her head.
"Awww... that's so sweet!" Armpit said.
"Magnet, man. Don't you know it's wrong to hit on someone else's girl? Especially Squid's!" X-ray yelled.
"Man! Shut the hell up! I'm not hitting on her!"
"Yeah, and she ain't anyone's girl!" Squid said.
"That's right!" Jordan said, sitting up. "And stop talking like I ain't here, X! And Squid, I have a voice! I can take up for myself, you know! But thanks, anyway, even though I know it was to save your ass from embarrassment."
"Yeah, okay. Whatever."
"Magnet. I wanna get some sleep, okay?" she said. "Could you please get off my bed?" she asked. He nodded and got off. Jordan stretched out and closed her eyes. "Thanks, Mag. G'night guys," she said sleepily.
"Night," they replied. She turned over on her side and tried to go to sleep, but couldn't. About 20 minutes later, the light went out and about 5 minutes she heard almost everyone's snores. It wasn't that hard for her to get to sleep because of the snoring, though. She was used to loud snoring. It was the smell that she hated. It was the smell that kept her up.
She sighed and rolled onto her stomach and closed her eyes again. She fell into a deep, dark sleep.
^-^ Jordan's Dream ^-^
Jordan was locked up in her room, starving. She got sent to bed without food, again. She opened her window as quietly as she could, pack her backpack with a few pairs of clothes and climbed out of her window.
She was walking on the shortcut to Joey's house when she heard a noise. She turned around and Squid was staring at her.
"W-what are you doing here?" Instead of answering her, he stroked her cheek softly, cupped her chin in his hand, tilted her head a little, and kissed her. When they pulled away, it wasn't Squid, but it was Magnet's chocolate brown eyes staring back at her.
"Where'd you come from?" As a reply, he smiled and vanished.
^-^ End of Jordan's Dream ^-^
She woke up cold and shivering, but, again, dripping with sweat. She sat up in her bed and swung her legs to one side. She put her head in her hands and sighed. 'God! What is up with me?!'
"Jordan? Is that you?" a heavy Mexican accent asked.
"Yeah," she whispered. "Do you know what time it is?" She felt dumb just talking into the darkness. She finally realized his cot was right beside hers.
"Yeah. Hold on." He made his watch glow and said, "It's 10:59."
"P.m.? I usually go to bed about 2 AM!"
"Ha ha. Did you just wake up?"
"Yeah."
"I thought so. I heard you tossing for a while, then I heard you stop all the sudden, so I figured you probably woke up."
"Magnet?"
"Yeah?"
"Why are you here?"
"Because it's 11 o'clock at night and I'm tired. That answer your question, chicka?"
"No. Why are you at the camp?"
"Because I stole a puppy. I would've made out, too, if my pocket didn't start barking." Jordan chuckled softly at this. "Jordan?"
"Huh?" He walked over to her cot and sat down. He wiped the sweat from her head and whispered, "Hypothetically, what would you say if I was to kiss you?"
"I don't know. I mean, we would never know unless that really happened, right?"
"Right."
"So, what do you want to ta-" he cut her off and kissed her hard. She was surprised at first, but gave in after she realized what was going on. He pushed her down on the bed and she placed her hands at the back of his neck.
Magnet suddenly pushed himself off of her and sighed. She sat up, thinking, 'Why do they always hafta stop?'
"I'm sorry, Jordan. I shouldn't have kissed you." He walked over to his cot and laid back down.
"No, it's okay. It's just...... you stopped because of Squid, didn't you?"
"Yeah. He's my friend."
"I know, but you heard him. I'm not anyone's girl. Plus, he practically told me before we walked back in here it wasn't going to work out."
"But still... he usually have a hard time showing his feelings. I don't want him mad at me, okay. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you in the first place," he repeated.
"Okay."
"Thanks, man," they heard from the other side of the tent. It was Squid. "I appreciate it."
"Squid? You're up?" asked Magnet.
"Yeah."
"G'night, you guys. I'm gonna try to get back to sleep," Jordan said.
"G'night, babe," Squid said.
"G'night, chicka," replied Magnet.
Jordan rolled over on her stomach and fell into a deep sleep.
^-^ Jordan's Dream ^-^
Jordan was locked up in her room, starving. She got sent to bed without food, again. She opened her window as quietly as she could, pack her backpack with a few pairs of clothes and climbed out of her window. She was running away to her favorite hideaway place. Joey's house.
She was outside of his bedroom window and tapped lightly on it. Joey came to the window and opened it. "Chuck and Loraine being assholes again?" he asked, helping her through.
"Yeah. Pretty much. You know, normally, I would have stayed to keep an eye over Logan and Kelly, but they were both at a friends, and Christine can take care of herself."
"Yeah, I know. You're sweet like that, babe. You have a heart of gold, you know that?"
"Not towards anyone but-"
"My family, your step-siblings, and your mom and Matt, yes, you've already told me that." He gave her a big hug. "I haven't talked to you in about 3 weeks. Why?"
She shrugged. "I don't know. I haven't really been able to get out."
"I understand." He took her backpack and sat it in a corner. "Here. You can have my bed. I'll sleep on the couch."
"No, it's alright. I'll sle-"
"I want to sleep on the couch." Then he got a fake cheery smile on his face and said, "It's my favorite place in the whole world!" She laughed. She knew for a fact that he hated sleeping on the couch, but being the gentleman he was, he always let her have his bed. "G'night, babe," he said, kissed her on the cheek, and walked into his living room.
Jordan was changing into her pajamas when someone came behind her and held her around her waist.
"C'mon, Joey! Stop messing around! Let me put my shirt on!" She turned around and it wasn't Joey, but TWITCH. She slipped her shirt on and they stared at each other. "What are you doing here?" He shrugged his shoulders, slipped his hand behind her neck, and kissed her. She was startled at first, but gave in. 'Man, he kisses so good!,' she thought, but then another voice said, 'You are such a whore! You're a dream whore, that's what you are!' She pulled away from him and he smiled at her.
"Why are you doing this to me? YOU'RE CONFUSING ME EVEN MORE! STOP IT!"
^-^ End of Jordan's Dream ^-^
Jordan, once again, woke up cold and shivering, but was dripping with sweat.
"Magnet?" she whispered. No one answered. "Magnet?" she called again.
"Huh?" said a groggy voice.
"What time is it?" she hissed, but as soon as she said it, Mr. Pendanski's trumpet was blowing.
"4 o'clock," he answered.
