Chapter 3- Kaidence
After everyone was through digging the next day, the girls were whining non-stop about how sore they were.
"My hands!" Rachel moaned to Squid holding them up.
"I'm eating, here," he whined looking away from her hands. They were bloody, blistered, and swollen.
"Well, they hurt!" she said, pouting.
"I"m sorry!" he said, his mouth full of food. He swallowed, grabbed one of her hands, and kissed the back of it.
"Get a room, you two!" Andy said, throwing a spoon at them.
"Hey!" they cried in unison.
"Why don't your hands hurt?!" Rachel asked.
"They do. I'm just not a big baby about it," she replied, in a very raspy voice.
"Kaidence, are your hands okay?" Lacey asked.
Kaidence replied with a nod. Zero, who was sitting beside her, leaned over and looked at her hands. They looked even worse than Rachel's. He glanced up from her hands and looked at her. She looked like she was holding back a lot of pain.
"They look painful," he said quietly. She nodded and bit her lip.
"Alexa. Why'd you kill the cop?" Zig-Zag asked. "How?"
In reply, she shrugged. "I don't really remember."
Zig-Zag just gaped at her. "I think we're going to be good friends," he said.
At about that moment, Zero stood, put his tray away, and left. Lacey nudged Kaidence and nodded her head towards the door Zero just exited through. Kaidence quickly shook her head.
"Why not?" Lacey asked, whispering. Kaidence just shook her head, her cheeks turning red. "Kaidence, you two should get to know each other. He seems really sweet. And I'm sure you two would be really good friends, if you tried."
"Fine," Kaidence finally said. She stood up, put her tray away, and walked out of the door.
---------------------------
Zero walked into the Rec Room. Fortunately, no one was in there, so he could sit in the quiet. 'Well,' he thought to himself. 'Lacey is nice. So is Kaidence. The girls aren't as bad as I thought they'd be.'
Then he heard footsteps. Startled, he looked at the doorway and saw Kaidence shyly walking in.
"Hi," she said quietly.
"Hi." He watched walk slowly towards the broken sofa he was sitting on and carefully sit down.
"What are you up to, Zero?" she asked him, staring at the floor.
"My name's not Zero, you know," he replied, ignoring the question.
"I didn't think it was, but you haven't told me your real name, yet."
"Sorry." He held his hand out to her. "I'm Hector Zeroni. Nice to meet you."
Kaidence giggled and took his hand. "I'm Kaidence Knowles."
"Well, well, well," a voice said from the door. "Looks like we got some puppy love going on here."
Zero pulled his hand away from Kaidence and looked up. 'Oh no.'
"Hey, Zero," X-ray said, giving him a noogie. Zero said nothing. "It's Kaidence, right?" X-ray asked, looking at her. She nodded.
"X!" Squid said from the door. "Hey X! Come on! We're gonna play a little game with a bottle as soon as Pendanski leaves!" Rachel was by his side and she giggled.
"Aight! Hey, see you two lovebirds later."
Whenever X-ray left, Zero and Kaidence looked at each other, both blushing furiously.
"I-I don't think I'm going to play," Zero stammered, wringing his hands in his lap.
"Me n-neither," Kaidence replied.
"Wanna go watch, anyways? I don't feel like being alone," Zero said.
"Sure."
They got up, left, and then Zero began to mentally kicking himself. 'I don't want to be alone? I should tell her that I didn't mean that I didn't want to be alone with her, because I do! I really, really do! No, then I'll seem like an idiot just blabbering on and on. Man, why I am I being so complicated?! Augh!'
Whenever they entered the tent, Zero immediately stopped all thoughts. Apparently, Pendanski already been there and left because everyone was already in a circle on the floor, and Magnet was getting a bottle from underneath his bed.
"You two!" Lacey said, hyper. "Sit next to me!" She patted a huge space between her and Squid.
"No thanks," Kaidence said, quietly, shaking her head.
"What about you, Zero?" Caveman asked.
Zero shook his head and sat on his cot. Kaidence sat on hers.
"My bottle, so I spin first!" Magnet said, excitedly. He spun and it landed on Libby. She threw her blonde hair over her shoulder, and leaned in for the kiss. As Magnet leaned in, they bumped foreheads.
"Ow!" they cried in unison. Everyone laughed and even Zero and Kaidence cracked a smile.
"One more time," Libby said, leaning in. After her and Magnet kissed, she spun the bottle. It landed on Alexa.
"Alright!" Armpit exclaimed.
"A little girl on girl action!" Zig-Zag said happily, as though that was the thing he wished more than anything in the world.
"Nope," Libby said, spinning again. This time she landed on Squid.
Rachel gave a death glare to Squid, who didn't see it. He leaned in and he and Libby kissed. Rachel stood up and walked outside.
"What did I do?" he asked. All the guys shrugged, but the girls gave him skeptical looks.
"You kissed another girl right in front of her, that's what!" Jessie cried.
"It was a game! It didn't mean anything!"
"Go tell her that, you heartless jerk!"
"Can you say, soap opera?" Kaidence mouthed to Zero across the room. He smiled in return. He felt his stomach tie into knots whenever she grinned back. He lost all train of thought. He quickly returned to what was presently going on and quickly looked away from her.
'What is that?' The feeling scared him. He never felt it before.
---------------------------
Squid and Rachel made up and the others finished the game before going to bed. Everyone was fast asleep, except for one person, who was kept up with the thoughts of a girl.
'What's happening to me?'
