Zigzag's POV
When Thorne told us her story...I was so...I don't know how to describe the feeling. I had always thought of her as a strong, quick tempered, don't- mess-with-me type girl...but that was a deep story. I instantly hated that boy. I don't know how anybody can be that disgusting to do that to a girl. That is just awful, and then she was sent to jail for it...I got the chills thinking about it.
Teddy's POV
I talked to that Twitch kid, he was really weird. He was real jumpy. He was jumpier than I am. He kept asking me all kinds of questions...like, "Why do you always say 'Teddy' after every sentence? Do you know you say Teddy after every sentence? Where did you live? Whats your favorite color?" he was like an annoying bug. I wanted to squish him with a flyswatter. Unfortunately, I didn't have a flyswatter and if I had a fly swatter it wouldn't have been big enough to squish him even though he is very small. He kinda reminded me of a mouse...very strange kid. I had a book of matches with me...I kept playing with the cover. I didn't know why I brung matches with me to Camp Green Lake but I had them. I wondered if any of the kids was a pyro. I figured that if I brung matches, and a kid was a pyro that maybe they would like want the matches, and I could sell them to the kid...I thought that Magnet kid was kinda cute...Diamond had her eye on him a lot but he seemed to be ignoring her. I walked over to him and smiled. He gave me a weird smile and turned back to his game of pool. I tossed my auburn hair over my shoulder. I saw Diamond shifting uncomfortably in her seat, and trying to look like she didn't care whether I was talking to him or not. I told myself, that I was going to talk to him whether she liked it or not.
"Hello Magnet, Teddy" I said. He turned back around.
"Hey Ted" he said giving me a what-do-you-want gaze. I grinned at him.
"Can you teach me how to play, Teddy?" I asked. He shrugged.
"Why not?" he said. The other boys rolled their eyes and left to go talk to their friends or whatever they normally did while they weren't playing pool. Magnet began to show me how to set up the table, without putting a ball in the bump or letting them roll in different directions, since the table was very lopsided. By then, Diamond had already dropped her drawing pad beside her and she was watching us intently like she was afraid of what might happen. I pretended I didn't get it so he had to talk to me for a while. Finally after one demonstration with how to hold the poolstick where he had to touch my arms and move them in the right positions Thorne came over to us.
"Magnet. I need to speak to you...NOW," she said urgently. He gave her a 'look' and nodded his head towards me. She stepped on his foot. Hard.
"NOW" she said. He gave me an apologetic smile and walked off with Thorne. I winked at Diamond and she gave me a mad stare.
Magnet's POV
Thorne drug me outside by the tents. "MAGNET!! GOD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she yelled at me. I gave her a strange, puzzled look.
"I was talking to Teddy" I said matter-of-factly.
"YES! EXACTLY!" she said. I gave her a puzzled glare.
"And what is your point, Thorne?" I asked her.
"My point is: Diamond OBVIOUSLY likes you, and I know you like her, and you are making Diamond mad, and you are leading Teddy on!" she said like it was the most OBVIOUS thing in the WORLD. I cringed.
"Diamond does not like me, and I'm not leading Teddy on" I told her. She thumped me on the head.
"I thought you were smarter than that Magnet! Seriously..." she said rolling her eyes. She gave me an icy glare and went back into the Wreck Room.
Thorne's POV
The next day I came out of the tent wearing my jumpsuit like the boys sometimes wore them, the top part pulled down, with the sleeves tied around their waists. I happened to be wearing a tight black tanktop that day. I got a lot of stares. I mean, a LOT of stares. Some of those boys looked at me like they'd never seen a girl before. When I made it to my little group they were all staring at me open-mouthed too. "THORNE! DANG!" X-Ray said. I raised my eyebrow at him.
"What X-Ray?" I asked. He grinned.
"Nice look," he said. Zigzag clenched his fist.
"God, seriously! I wear a tanktop and everyone acts like I've grown another head miraculously" I muttered. Squid looked at Rhythm.
"Why don't YOU ever dress like THAT?" he asked. Rhythm gave him the meanest stare that I've ever seen in my life. I think she scared him actually. I pulled the sleeves up and buttoned up the jumpsuit.
"I don't care if it is 130 degrees. I'd rather burn up than have you guys staring at me all day. I mean, you guys get to prance around in undershirts but I break out a tank top and you'd think I had th only set of boobs in the world," I muttered. I have to admit, I was a little embarassed. I hated it when people stared at me.
