Thorne's POV
Another day, boring as usual. I watched a girl get out of the bus, another one coming in to Camp Green Lake. She was a small girl with brown hair and blonde highlights. She smiled at me and I waved. I wanted to run over to her and tell her she should've chosen jail. But I didn't. I just watched her go into Mr. Sir's office. I sighed and turned back towards my tent. Zigzag was standing there talking to Teddy. I watched him in a sort of daze. Teddy moved closer and whispered into his ear. He smiled at her uncomfortably. She giggled. "Thorne," I heard someone saying. I turned around reluctantly.
"This is Jasmine," Mr. Gretsky said. I nodded and put my hand out to shake.
"Hi," I said gloomily.
She smiled at me, "Hi," she said, taking my hand and shaking it. She smiled again, shyly.
"Thorne, go and show Jasmine," Mr. Gretsky turned to Jasmine, and mumbled something. "As I was saying, go show Jasmine where she will be staying and fill her in on the rules." I nodded obediently. My legs and arms worked automatically as I led Jasmine to the tent. She talked to me a little bit on our way, but I don't know if I even said one word to her. We reached where Zigzag and Teddy were standing. I introduced Jasmine to them both. She smiled shyly at them too. Zigzag smiled at me, but I couldn't bring myself to smile back. Teddy grimaced. She looked like she wanted nothing more than to get away fromt the three of us, and for some reason that made me happy. I never wanted Teddy Montague to be happy again, for as long as she lived.
"I'm a pyro," Jasmine blurted. I turned to look at her. She bit her lip, and her face went really white, like she hadn't meant to say anything.
I tried to smile at her. "So is Zig" I said.
Zigzag's POV
My pulse quickened. Thorne had said something...I was a pyro?...what was that? That's right...that's what the judge had called me...Thorne didn't look very good today, she looked drained like she couldn't do anything. Thorne and Jasmine went inside, so Jasmine could see the tent and everything. Teddy smiled at me, "Could you walk me inside? I want to get something," she said. I nodded in agreement and followed her into the tent. I saw Thorne and Jasmine sitting on Thorne's cot, talking. Jasmine looked up and smiled at us, but Thorne looked lost, in her own little world. I saw Rhythm, also sitting on her cot. She was fiddling with something. When we passed Diamond's bed there was a picture of Magnet, that she had drawn on it. Teddy gave it an awful look. She screamed, and threw her hat, then rushed out of the tent. Thorne stood up. She walked over to me and buried her head in my chest so quickly that she knocked me backward a little.
"I can't do this anymore Zigzag," she whispered. I didn't know what she was talking about. I wrapped my arms around her. Rhythm and Jasmine stood, looking at us from the other side of the room.
