Zero lay still in his cot that night, nervous if either Squid or Zigzag moved even a centimeter in their sleep. When he had walked into the tent that evening, he hadn't expected to see Squid and Zigzag's naked butts . . . and other things. He shook the thoughts from his mind. This was so confusing, even though it had nothing to do with him. Half of him wanted to laugh (he didn't know why), but half of him wanted to scream about the obscenity of it all. At his age, he didn't even know boys could DO that sort of thing with each other.

Squid groaned in his sleep, causing Zero to jump half an inch.

"Ziggy . . . mmftphmerrr . . . "Squid mumbled, pawing the air.

*What the hell?* Zero thought, blinking at Squid's movements. He knew that Squid sometimes cried in his sleep, but acting like a dog? . . . He didn't even wanna know.

The next day, Zero couldn't even look anyone in the eye. Not after what he saw. It was just . . . ludicrous. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

*Maybe . . . maybe being stuck in a camp of all guys gets to ya once the hormones kick in.* He thought. He froze. What if that happened to him?

"Agh! Stop thinking about it!" He yelled suddenly, causing everyone around him to jump and then stare wide-eyed at him.

"Are you okay, Zero?" Caveman asked. Zero just nodded. Things were getting WAY weird around here.
