The next morning as the boys of D Tent were getting ready to go dig, Bleach burst in, already in her orange uniform, but her hair was still un-brushed.
"Hey, Uhm, can you guys help me get up the girls, they're not getting up," Bleach said making an effort to brush back her hair.
"Yeah, we'll help, C'mon guys," X- Ray said leading the boys out of the tent.
The girls were still sound asleep in there beds someone was even snoring (coughBarbiecough).
"C'mon deed, wake up," Caveman said shaking Deidre's foot, which was sticking out. Deidre merely jerked her foot away and mumbled.
"Barb, get up por favor, "Magnet said, but fell to the ground with the air knocked out of him the next second because Barbie had kicked him in the stomach.
"uhm, Bleach what do you want me to do," Squid asked, standing in the middle of the room, Joe and Martin were now helping to get Barbie up.
"Wake up Blaze, but I tell you, it won't be easy," Bleach said trying to pull a brush through her hair.
Squid walked over to Blaze's cot, and looked at her sleeping form.
'Wow,' he thought, ' She looks real innocent when she's sleeping, almost like an angel... key word almost.'
"C'mon lil girl, wake up," Squid said shaking her shoulder. Blaze just shook her head and turned over so she was lying on her stomach.
"Here, try this," Bleach called tossing a spray bottle to Squid. Everyone in the whole tent was now trying to wake up Barbie, and caveman was currently on the floor clutching his stomach.
"What do I do with the spray bottle?" Squid asked.
"Spray Blaze with it, and if she still doesn't get up, take the covers off of her," Bleach said in the crowd around Barbie's cot.
"k..." Squid said, and he sprayed Blaze in the face, but she didn't move, she just pulled the covers more tightly around her. Squid pulled the covers off of Blaze, who was wearing a black tank top and pink boxers. He didn't wake her up immediately because what he saw on her back. See, her shirt was halfway up her back, and running down Blaze's back, were little lines, and some crissed and crossed, and some were curvy, but the biggest one was in the middle of Blaze's back, and it was shaped like a hand. Squid reached the conclusion that these were scars, and he reached out to touch one, but as he barely touched Blaze's skin, she cringed, making Squid pull back, and she muttered something. Squid wasn't sure what she had said, so he turned to Bleach.
"Bleach! She's still not waking up!" He called to the mass still around Barbie's cot.
"Uhhhh... Tickle her! Damn this girl will –not-wake- up!" Bleach said holding Barbie's foot to keep her from kicking anyone.
"Where do I tickle her?" Squid asked.
"Anywhere!" Bleach answered "Be careful though, she laughs loudly!"
Squid started to tickle Blaze's sides, and she jumped and started laughing loudly like Bleach had said. He continued tickling Blaze and she turned over and tried to hit him away, still laughing, her face turning red. Squid held her hand away and smiled, and she rolled off her cot and fell onto the floor, landing with a thud.
"Are you up now?" Squid asked leaning over her face.
"YES I'M UP!!" Blaze said jumping up, "I'm up I'm up I'm up!"
"What were all the scars on your back?" Squid asked, her, as Blaze shot a look over at the crowd still around Barbie's bed.
"Car accident," She said in a monotone, walking past Squid with out looking at him. He could tell she was lying.
"Move, move, you people are going about this the totally wrong way," Blaze said breaking through the crowd around Barbie's bed. Blaze leaned over Barbie and whispered in here ear.
"Barbie, Bubba (her cat) got into your make up," she said, quickly standing upright as Barbie sat up straight in her cot.
"Again? I thought I hid it- Heyyyyy! Blaze! No fair!" Barbie said pouting.
"Hey life isn't fair, and trust me, if it was, I would be the first to know," Blaze said putting her hands behind her back. As Squid looked at her back again, he could still see some scars running along her shoulders. He figured that's why she never wore shirts without sleeves. Bleach shooed the boys out, and made her friends get ready to dig, and as they were leaving, they heard moans of reluctance; they also hear Bleach yelling at them to hurry up.
Later at around 11:30 mom came by with lunch, and that had been the day that the supply truck had come, so the cookies they got weren't entirely dried out yet. As Blaze reached for a can of sliced peaches, Mom slide a carrot under her hand
"Mom what's this for?" Blaze asked annoyed.
"Your eyes, the warden don't want you to be too blind that you can't see your hole!" Mom said with fake enthusiasm that would fool anybody.
"Bull crap," Blaze said, sticking the corner of the carrot in her mouth anyway.
"Watch your language Mykalanne!" Mom said wagging a finger at Blaze. Blaze did an annoyed mock of his face and sat on the edge of her hole, her legs swinging over the edge. Squid came over and sat down beside her.
"I know you where lying to me this morning when I asked about your scars," He said, narrowing his eyes at him.
"You really wanna know?" Blaze said glancing at him nawing on her carrot.
"Can't be any worse then my home life," Squid said shrugging.
"You'd be surprised," Blaze said, and her sentence was followed by an awkward silence.
"So?" Squid asked.
"So you want me to tell you?"
"Yeah."
"Ok, where should I start?"
"The beginning."
"Right. Well when I was three years old, my mom got pregnant, and I was soooo happy, 'cuz I always wanted a younger sibling. But when she was giving birth to my baby brother Adam, she died. My dad and Adam thought it was my fault, because I just HAD to have a younger sibling-"
"Didn't you say you had an older brother? Jack or something?"
"Yeah, now he's 19, and he's like my best friend, because he knows it's not my fault. But anyways, my dad thought I needed to be punished, so he built this back room that no one knows about, and the walls are COVERED in knifes of all shapes and sized that you can think of. On the day I was arrested, he ordered the Miracle blade III perfection series-"Blaze shuddered.
"Well, he abused me. And the woman he was going to marry helped him. Got it? I don't wanna talk about it anymore. Bleach don't even know that," Blaze finished with a sigh of withdrawal and she took a bite of her carrot.
"Whoa, you have one whacked up and insane family, but not even Bleach knows? But you barley even know me, why did you tell me?" Squid inquired.
"Well I guess I trust you."
"Trust me?"
"Yeah I mean you didn't tell anyone about the 'towel incident, so yeah, I trust you," Blaze said, and Squid looked down guiltily, but Blaze never saw, because Bleach came up next to them at that moment.
"Have you guys seen Midget or Zero?" She asked.
"No," they replied in unison.
"FOUND EM!" Drive By called, looking down on a hole. Bleach, Blaze, and Squid walked over to the hole and saw Midget and Zero making out in Zero's hole.
"Oh, alrighty then," Bleach said backing away from the hole. Soon after that every one returned to their digging and Squid couldn't keep what Blaze had said out of his head.
' You didn't tell anyone...'
'Aug!' he thought, shaking his head. ' Why cant I get her voice out of my head! Stupid big mouth of mine, why did I have to tell Zigzag?? Why couldn't I have said she was sleeping? Dammit dammit dammit! Get your mind off of it Squid, it will all maul over. Soon, soon.' He stopped digging and looked around and saw Magnet at Caveman's hole, looking at an object in Caveman's hand.
"Hey X!" Caveman called a gestured for X-ray to come over to his hole. Z wandered over, and soon, all of G and D tent were standing crowed around, looking over each other X and Caveman had the argument about the little tube and they decided X would turn it in tomorrow morning.
"No! X-Ray! Caveman's tired, and he needs his hands to heal!" Deidre said walking up to X who had pocketed the tube (Oy we all know what it is).
"What's the problem here?" Asked Mr. Sir as he snuck up behind X-ray and Deidre. Thankfully, he had stopped a fight breaking out.
"Fighting eh?" He said putting on an evil grin. "Well this outta be punished. X ray, you will dig the rest of Deidre's hole, and Deidre, you will run a mile," He finished grinning wider, he looked around, and pointed out the trail on which Deidre was to run. "3 Laps should be a mile," he said, and Deidre took off.
"She looks like she's running to save someone!" Blaze said laughing. "Like Indiana Jones!" Midget finished, and when Deidre passed, they sang out the Indiana Jones theme song.
"So Indiana, since X-Ray has to dig your hole now, wanna come to the Wreck Room with us?" Asked Bleach as she hopped out of her hole.
"Yeah, there ain't nothing better to do," The newly proclaimed Indiana said shrugging.
"So, Indiana, how does it feel to have run one whole mile in the freaking, hot, desert?" Blaze said acting like a reporter. She held an invisible microphone in front of Indiana who just stared at it. "Fascinating," Blaze said taking her hand back before Indiana could say anything. Midget cracked up and they turned to enter the Wreck Room.
Just as they walked, Blaze bumped into Squid, who was leaving.
"Sorry," she said slightly blushing.
"Ohhhh!" Midget said, giving Blaze a playful push. "Somebody's got a crush!!!!"
"NO!" Blaze exclaimed in defense. "I'm with Zig. And besides, the flirting is Indiana and yours job!" and with that she strode off to watch TV with Zigzag.
"You know she's lying, right?" Bleach asked, giving Indiana and Midget a sideways look.
"Oh yeah," Indiana said nodding. Bleach led the girls to watch a game of pool between Zero and Caveman. Bleach looked around for Brakes, but he wasn't there.
Blaze got up and left Zigzag to go take a nap in the tent. When she got to the tent she squinted and looked around, and came to the conclusion that everything looked bland, and Blaze wanted her space to be her own lil house type thing.
"Time for drastic actions," Blaze whispered to her self and walked over to her duffle bag and looked for her tape. She always had tape so that she could tape something back together if it ripped. But instead of taping something back together, she took out her good charlotte poster and taped it directly above her bed, and then put all the smaller pictures of the band around it. Then she added her Tom Felton collage. Then she started working downward, and she put her pirate things that Barbie had given her, and she put the picture of Michael Lee from a cartoon called Witch Hunter Robin that Drive By drew for her on the other side of her cot. She put her schedule from sixth grade and seventh next to each other, and a little fake flower that had a card attached to it that said 'be your own kind of beautiful,' beneath that. Next came a script that her drama class had performed before she left, an old comic that she made in science class in sixth grade called 'carrots', an old, old, old belt that broke when she was going to Las Vegas, a small picture of the twin towers surrounded by clouds that said at the bottom 'heaven has just become more beautiful,' Both of her Good Charlotte Calendars, He National Geographic calendar, her Harry Potter calendar from 2001, a letter from her biological father, a picture of the Redlands temple, a small black square that said Loser on it, a collage of pictures she had printed out in fifth grade, pictures of all her five cats, and a single picture of Jeremy Sumpter, a lot of pictures of Spot, Racetrack, Snitch, Tumbler, Mush, and Skittery from Newsies she had gotten off the internet, her two Beatles posters, the ' Abbey Road' one and the 'let it be' one, her Simple Plan poster and an old wrinkled paper that was written in calligraphy that said 'the greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love, and be loved in return'.
"Done," she said flopping onto her cot. She lay there with her eyes closed breathing as heavily and loudly as she pleased.
"Whoa, I can see a little attempt to feel more at home has gone on here," said a voice from the door. Blaze opened her eyes and looked up to see Squid looking at the tent wall behind her.
Blaze put her head back down and closed her eyes again. "Whatcha want Squid?" she said in a low uninterested voice.
"Ah, nothin', just wanted to see where you were seeing as you weren't with Zigzag," Squid said shrugging. He looked down at Blaze and saw her fingers tapping the cot. "What interments do you play besides guitar?" he asked.
"Why do you ask?" Blaze said, putting one hand behind her head.
"I'm just curious," Squid said shrugging.
"Curiosity killed the cat," Blaze said, her voice devoid of all emotion.
"Will you just tell me?" Squid said, the inpatients in his voice starting to show.
"Fiiiiine!! I play Violin, Flute, and I can play piano by ear. There. Ya happy now?" she asked.
"Look at them! They look soooo cute together!" Midget whispered to Indiana, whom were both watching from a distance.
"Yeah, we gotta find a way to hook em' up!" Indiana prodded.
"Yeah!" Midget whispered, and they walked away in thought.
"Why did you only bring your guitar if you play violin and flute and piano too?" Squid asked.
"One: You can fit a piano in a case. Two: I didn't have enough money to let them bring my other stuff. Why are you asking me-"Blaze was cut off by Brakes bursting into the tent, an ecstatic look on his face.
"BLAZE!" He almost screamed! "BLAZE! The Warden is gonna let us do the show!"
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!" Blaze yelled jumping up out off her cot. He hugged Brakes, and they started dancing around the tent, completely forgetting that Squid was there.
"We're gonna do the shoooow, we're gonna do the shoooow! " They sang in harmony.
