The next day Wendy didn't really feel like getting up, but when she felt a hard warm hand on her shoulder her eyes shot open, hoping it would be Squid. It wasn't. It was Twitch he said, "Come on, you've got to get up," in his fast, jumping voice.
She sat up in her cot all of the boys but Twitch, Zig Zag and Squid were at breakfast. Everyone else had already gone to breakfast. Twitch was already up and ready for the long hard day but Squid wasn't, he was still sleeping. He looked so cute when he slept. And Zigzag was pulling his jumpsuit sleeves up.
Finally, Twitch and Zig Zag left. With Alan sleeping she could get dressed but she still had to be fast just in case he did wake up. She pulled her jumpsuit up and tied it off. She then went over to Squid and gently shook him. His puppy dog brown eyes opened slowly.
"Let's go." she said quietly.
"Where is everybody?" he said in a sleepy voice.
"They're at breakfast."
He shot up in his cot, with his eyes wide open and quickly got up. When he was dressed they grabbed they're canteens and walked to the water truck talking about her father.
They had breakfast, if you could call it that. All the boys from A, B, C, and E were looking at her like the she was an alien, a really hot alien.
Mr. Sir took them to the digging site and she got started. At first it was tough but then she thought of her favorite song, "Perfect World" by Simple Plan, she found her rhythm. Soon the sun was creeping up into the sky. Wendy just kept playing the song in her head and soon when the water truck come around for the fifth time she tried to get out but that wasn't going to happen. After trying to get out of her hole for a while the water truck came by and all of the guys jumped out of there holes with ease.
"Shit!" she whispered to herself and she sat back into her hole. Then Magnet came by, "Watch your mouth, young lady" he said in his rich Hispanic accent, reaching his hand down into her hole.
She grabbed it and he hoisted her up. She was surprisingly light. She got her canteen filled and then set out to camp.
"Where are you going? You can't be done yet." Mr. Pendanski said feverishly, his face black and blue.
"One shovel deep and one shovel wide, right?" she asked.
"Well, yes but --"
"Measure it yourself" she said annoyed tossing him her shovel, he whimpered and jumped out of the way. She turned around and started to walk again. X-ray took the shovel and put it into her hole. It was indeed finished.
"Wow, dude she's faster then Zero!" Armpit clambered.
Wendy took a shower in the shower that they made especially for her, since her hair was so long she got ten minutes of shower time instead of four, plus The Warden knew the values of good feminine hygiene.
After her shower she went back to the tent, did they really think she was going into the wreck room?
She looked into her bag. All of the boys of camp green lake have a life line. Well, her bag was her life line. The backpack and all of it's contents. Nobody has ever seen inside her bag. Back in school she was the picture of perfection. But when she got home all hell broke loose. Her mother was a drunk and her father was never there.
She was forced to clean the entire house. It had to be perfect, she had to be perfect. When her mother walked in Wendy had to be studying or doing her homework even if it was three o'clock in the morning. Usually her mother was to drunk to notice the difference of day and night.
Life isn't too easy. She pulled out her box out matches, the memories just flooded into her and tears flooded out.
(I don't normally like these but . . .)(- FLASHBACK -)(
Wendy was seven years old and her mother just started to drink.
She was sitting in her room and her mother was down stairs. She started to smell fire. Thinking that the house was one fire she ran down stairs to see her mother bent over the fire place throwing boxes of letters and cards into it. Her father might not have been there but he always wrote. Always sent a letter a week and always sent a birthday and Christmas present. Her mother was dumping all of her letters and cards into the fire.
She screamed and her mother looked up with an evil smile on her face.
"You want them princess then come and get them" her mother said evilly throwing the whole box into the fire. Then she got up and ran to the bathroom to throw up. Payge ran into the kitchen to get a bottle of water.
She salvaged some of the letters. The ones that were most important to her and they have been in her bag since, which she so cleverly hid under the loose floor board under the bed.
But ever since then she has been burning things left and right, from napkins to matches to her mother's love letters to her new girlfriend (yes your eyes aren't deceiving you Wendy's mother turned into drunken lesbian when her dad moved out).
END OF FLASHBACK
She shuddered at the thought of her mother's girlfriend. And the things they made her do. But they never pushed her into sex just stupid stuff. Like sit in their on sex sessions. Wendy's mom was twenty nine. And her girlfriend used to do some pretty gross things. She remembered that they used to make her sit and watch them even though they used to do it all night. And when she would fall asleep one of them would smack her across the face and ask what she thought she was doing.
She put the matches back as night started to fall and the D-tent boys dragged themselves in to the tent. She just lay there watching them talk and joke around.
"So what are you in for?" Zig Zag asked.
"Being at the wrong place at the wrong time" she said
