Chapter 5 The Warden is WHAT?!!

Someone grabbed Jordan's shoulder.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"How come you say it like you know it's me?" Gabriel said. She turned around and gave him a big hug.

"I didn't! I thought it was Squid or Magnet! I thought you were mad at me!" she said happily.

"No, but- is that a tear? Have you been crying?"

"Wha- Oh, no!" she quickly wiped away and started talking before he could ask anymore questions. "Gabriel, I thought you said you nothing was going to happen between us."

"It's not."

"Then why were you talking about me?" she demanded.

"I wasn't. It was the guys. They were just teasing." When she gave him an unconvinced look, he innocently said, "What?" and threw his hands in the air like he had nothing to hide.

She sighed aggravated, rolled her eyes, and said, "Nothing."

"Okay. Whatever you say," he said laughing. (A/N: girls! Can you just imagine this hot dude grinning and laughing at you, and you just roll your eyes! I think not! Personally, I would be staring maniacally at him! LOL! Well, on with the fic!)

Max, Jeremy, and Brad walked outside to where Jordan and Gabriel were and started saying things like "Oooohh" and "Kissy kissy kissy!" Jordan blushed, flipped them off, and walked back inside D-tent, but not before she heard Gabriel say, "Guys! Lay off! She's gonna know I like her!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jordan walked in and saw that Squid and Magnet looked furious.

"You're just gonna let him say that bout you?" Magnet asked.

"You're gonna let him treat you like his TOY?!" demanded Squid.

"HE'S NOT TREATING ME LIKE A TOY! HE ACTUALLY TREATS ME LIKE A HUMAN BEING, UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE!"

"What the hell do you mean, Jordan?!"

"I MEAN, I heard yall talking last night about me! You IDIOTS didn't think I could hear you?! I heard the little FANTASY FIGHT that you all DREAMED UP!"

"What do you mean?" Zig-Zag asked, knowing perfectly well what she was talking about.

"I mean the "Aww.. Man! Wouldn't it be so fun if the Warden put up this big wrestling ring, filled it up with mud, and each of us had to fight her, in NOTHING but our UNDERWEAR?" THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"

"I don't know what you me-" Squid said nervously, but Jordan cut in.

"Yes YOU DO! He doesn't STARE AT MY BUTT, he doesn't TRY TO GRAB IT, and he doesn't try to SEE DOWN MY SHIRT WHEN I BEND DOWN!" All the guys were stunned at this. They didn't think she ever saw them do it. "Oh, yeah. And you know what else he doesn't do? He doesn't get behind me when I'm bent down and act like he's HUMPING ME! OH YEAH! I KNOW YOU ALL GET A CRACK OUT OF THAT!" She was more furious now than she had been in a while. The last time she got this mad was 2 years ago. She was drunk and the alcohol got the better of her. She had started yelling and screaming at her dad, and she got the shit knocked out of her. She got anger from her dad's side of the family, because her mom wouldn't hurt an ant. Even if it had stung her. She was such a gentle person. THAT'S why Jordan loved it most at her mom's. She felt loved by the adults around her, not just her step-siblings.

"If it makes any difference Jordan, I didn't think it was funny at all. And I never talked about you like that," Caveman said, and Twitch nodded. She just glared at them.

"I'm going to the Rec Room to shoot some pool. I'm going to try to calm down." As she left, the guys just stared at her. They STILL couldn't believe that she knew about all that stuff.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jordan walked to the Rec Room and saw Gabriel, Max, Jeremy, and Brad sitting on the couch, trying to watch the scrambled television.

"Hey, Gabe! Max, Jeremy, Brad! You all want to play some pool?"

"Yeah, I'm up for a game!" Gabriel said, getting up, but the other three shook their heads, their eyes transfixed upon the t.v. screen. Just as soon as they got the table set up, it was time for supper.

"C'mon, I'll walk with ya to the mess hall!" Gabriel said, dragging her by the arm.

"Is THAT what you call the cafeteria here?" she asked, surprised.

"Yup. Sure is."

"Oh, okay," she said, with an odd look on her face.

They walked inside, got their trays, and Jordan sat at the D-tent table, and Gabriel sat at the C-tent table. After everyone had gotten settled, the Warden walked in and stood up on a table.

"Can everyone here me?" she called out. Everyone mumbled "Yes" and she got started on a speech. "I'm sure most of you noticed that there is a girl in our camp. Some of the guys nodded, but some of them whispered, "What?!" or, "A GIRL?!".

"Shut up!" she barked. "She's over there at the D-tent table. Yes, you all get a good look at her. There you go. Now look at me! More will be coming in the morning, and I expect you to treat them as HUMANLY as possible! They are juvenile delinquents, just like you boys! And if any of them are little sissies, I do NOT expect you to treat them like a toy, is that CLEAR?!" When the boys nodded their heads she added, "Do NOT try ANYTHING cute with them! They could knock you down on your ass faster than you can say "oops"! Any questions?!"

"No, ma'am," they all said. She jumped off the table, satisfied, and said, "Jordan Roberts, come with me, please."

"Yes, ma'am." She got up and followed the Warden to her cabin.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They walked into the cabin and the Warden said, "I saw that little, uh-um, speech you gave the boys." Jordan glanced at her nervously and the Warden....... smiled? "I'm very proud of you. You stood up for yourself."

"You, know Aunt L-"

"Do NOT call me AUNT! What if someone were to hear you? HMM? How would I be able to explain that?!"

"Sorry, but you know, MA'AM, I AM able to take care of myself! You know, stick up for myself!"

"I didn't think you had the guts."

"Well, excuse me! You know, I've changed a LOT since I was FIVE!"

"That's NOT the last time I saw you!"

"Oh, YEAH! WHEN was the last time you saw me?! Hmm?"

"Christmas, that one year! You remember? I bought you that toy? Wrapped it and everything!"

"That was when I was FIVE! Besides, it was a toy shovel and pale! It CAME in the fishnet thing!"

"I'M TIRED OF YOU! STOP RAISING YOUR VOICE TO ME!"

"I CAN RAISE MY VOICE TO WHOEVER THE HELL I WANT!"

"DON'T TALK TO ME THAT WAY! I'M YOUR AUNT! YOUR MOTHER AND I HAVE BEEN SISTERS FOR OVER....." she hesitated, "10 YEARS!" (A/N: we all thought she was on the dad's side, didn't we?)

"I KNOW YOUR 41! YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE IT! MY MOM DONE TOLD ME!"

"OH, YEAH! THE PERFECT 32 YEAR OLD SISTER TOLD YOU THAT!"

"SHE'S NOT PERFECT! YOU KNOW THAT! YOU KNOW SHE GOT PREGNANT WHEN SHE WAS 17 WITH ME! YOU KNOW SHE GOT MARRIED ONLY BECAUSE OF ME!"

"OH, MAYBE NOT, BUT IN MY PARENT'S EYES SHE WAS! IN MY GRANDPA'S EYES SHE WAS! SHE NEVER HAD TO DIG! She would ALWAYS be the sweet one and offer to dig," she said, her voice suddenly quiet. "But NO! My grandpa wouldn't LET her! She was TOO damn precious! Oh, but ME! I ALWAYS had to dig! Even on Christmas!"

"Oh. Th- they never told me THAT. That just seems a little harsh," Jordan said, feeling guilty.

"Just GO! I don't hafta talk to you anymore!" she barked at Jordan, who was happy to be out of her aunt's way.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As Jordan walked into D-tent (she wasn't hungry anymore), she heard Zig-Zag talking about some kind of escape plan.

"How are you gonna manage that, man?" X-ray asked.

"I'll jump onto the back of the supply truck as it's leaving. You see, why you guys are here digging holes, I'll be at the beach. A babe on each side."

"Lemme guess," Magnet said. "Your aunt and your grandma, huh?" D-tent busted out in laughter. (A/N: Okay, I confess, I got this scene of the deleted scenes! *I have the dvd*!)

"What happened?" Armpit asked Jordan as she plopped on his bed, right beside him (she didn't mind the smell THAT much).

"My aunt just wanted to talk to me for a minute." Oops. She was in trouble. She let the "a" word slip.

"The Warden is your AUNT?!" Squid asked, shocked to the bone.

"NO WAY!" Twitch yelled.

"Nu-uh! The Warden CAN'T be your aunt!" X-ray said in disbelief.

"Yeah, you guys, it's true. But it CANNOT leave ths room! Do you HEAR me?!"

"Yeah. Aight. Guys you heard her. I mean, c'mon if she punches me and it hurts, it's gotta be hell for you, because she'll be way more mad at yall," X-ray replied, with a hint of a smirk on his face.

"I thought it sounded familiar whenever you would say 'excuse me' every time someone corrected you on something!" Zig-Zag said excited.

"Remember, NO ONE'S GONNA FIND OUT!"

"Yes, ma'am!" they replied, grinning. As daring as he is, and as bad as he wanted "some", X-ray asked, "Ma'am, if I'm naughty, are you gonna spank me?" laughing.

She had finally given up on yelling and glaring at them, looked at him with the most seducing face she could conjure, and said, "Yes, and maybe more!" The guys had all give her a "What the f***?!" look, and she laughed.

"I'm playing! X-ray, if you use that line on ANY girl, who don't make a living like that, she will knock you straight out!"

"Yes ma'am," he said grinning. The other guys gave a relieved laugh.

"What?! You all thought I was serious?!" When they nodded, she looked offended and said, "Uh!"

"What?" they asked.

"You ACTUALLY thought I was serious?"

"Yeah, actually, you were pretty convincing," Squid said.

"You guys think I'm THAT desperate?! No offense, X-ray."

"None taken."

"I guess we did," Magnet said, shrugging his shoulders. She walked up to him and pushed him in the shoulder blade. "Ow! That hurt!"

She smirked. "Excuse me? Do you think I care?"

"I guess not."

"You do a LOT of guessing, don't you?" Everyone in D-tent laughed. Except Magnet and Squid. They didn't see what was so funny. They thought she liked them. Guess they thought wrong, huh?

'I knew she'd hurt me! I knew I shouldn't have fell for her!' Squid thought.

'Man. She just dissed me. I feel.... not smart. She doesn't like me anymore,' thought Magnet.

'Them two look hurt,' Jordan thought. Another voice cut in, 'You don't care! They've treated you like dirt! Like a TOY! You're not the same as you were when you arrived yesterday! You're TOUGH!'

A/N: Sorry if that sucked! I think the Warden is more in character in this chapter other than the last one, wouldn't you say? Umm...... I don't want to give the next chapter away, but....... I MISS ZERO! HE'S COMING BACK! YAY! :D No, sadly, Jordan does not like Magnet or Squid anymore, and her and Gabriel will NOT go together! Sorry! But, I have good news! Those three guys WILL find someone! And surprise guest will appear sometime during this story! Also, here's a preview of next chapter! Yay!

"Jordan, may I talk to you for a minute?" Mr. Pendanski asked,

"Sure." They walked outside the tent, out of ear-shot and Mr. Pendanski's face fell.

"I have some bad news Jordan."

"What is it?" she asked, getting worried. She bit her bottom lip.

"It's about your mom. She fell down the steps today, and now she's in the hospital."

"Is she alright?! How is she? Can I tal-"

"She just fine. She'll live. But-"

"But what?!"

"The doctors think that the baby won't make it."

"No! But-"

"It might make it, Jordan. The doctors just aren't counting on it. Don't get your hopes up."

"NO! IT CAN'T DIE! CAN I-" Mr. Pendanski walked off when she was in mid-sentence. Jordan started to feel light-headed and faint. She felt dizzy and pretty soon, all she could see was black. She fell to the ground with a soft 'thud' and a loud 'crack'.

Do you think it will be good? Do ya, do ya, do ya?! R/r! PLZ! OH YEAH! BEFORE I FORGET, THANX TO: Zeerawolfstar: THANX FOR REVIEWING! ;D
