because I just posted the last chapter not too long ago. But muchas gracias
to those who have reviewed!!! Now, on to the star of the show..................
Chapter 4
I walked out and over to the building that said 'Wreck room' on the side. Inside ZigZag was smacking the TV, trying to get the static to go away. The rest of D-tent was sitting on a couch facing away from the door. I walked up behind them, but I guess it was so noisy in there that they didn't hear me.
"Why do we have to get the girl? What did we do wrong?" Armpit asked.
"We didn't do anything wrong. The Warden just decided we were special, I guess," X-ray said.
"It's not that bad, 'Pit," Squid told him, "after all, she is kinda hot." I vaulted over the back of the couch, very nearly landing right on top of him.
"Sorry Squid."
"'S okay," he grinned at me.
"Did anyone tell you, you look stupid with that toothpick?" Squid's grin faded.
"No."
"Well, you do," I said as I grabbed it from and stuck it the corner of my mouth and grinned. "I think it makes me look kinda cute, don't it?" The guys laughed, and Caveman leaned toward Squid.
"Dude, I think she likes you."
"You wish. Yo, I am so not crushin' on any of you. I've known you for what, half an hour. Anyway—" I didn't get to finish what I was saying, though, because the dinner bell rang. I followed D-tent out of the wreck room and into the dining hall.
Magnet handed me a metal tray, and I got in line. Some bean-like slop was dumped on my plate, followed by some green stuff, and then a piece of white bread. It looked disgusting, but hey, it was food. I sat down at the D-tent table in between ZigZag and Zero. I had barely put my tray down on the table when X-ray reached across the table.
"Seeing as you didn't dig a hole today, you wouldn't mind giving up your bread to someone who did, right?" He almost grabbed my bread but I scooted my tray over so it was out of his reach.
"Well, you see, it's like this, X. I really agree with you that I ought to give it to someone who dug a hole, but, since there are seven of you who dug holes, I should rip it into sevenths. Now, that wouldn't give anyone enough to count, so the best thing I can do is just eat all the bread myself, and so I'll have enough energy for my own hole tomorrow." It took X-ray a few seconds to figure out what I was saying, and then he nodded.
"Sounds good." I grinned back at him and took a big bite of the bread, just to make sure he wouldn't try to take it again. "So," I said, my mouth full of bread and bean-stuff, "what's up with Dem-pant-ski dude? He said he was the counselor or something." Squid looked up, and across the room where the counselor sat with some other adults.
"Oh, Mom? He drives the water truck sometimes, and we have 'cabin meeting' things sometimes that he does with us."
"There's one tonight..probably because of you." Armpit told me.
"Oh, I feel soooo special now."
