AN: Thanks for all the great reviews.

Chapter 3

The next day, the girls had more trouble than ever getting up to the sound of the bugle. They grumbled and complained, but got up anyway, not wanting to know the consequences of staying in bed.

Since they were so hungry, all of the girls ate a honey tortilla, painfully, except Katie. She still refused, and the guys warned her that she might starve if she didn't eat.

Once again, as Erik led them to their campsite, he and Katie flirted some more. Everyone around them could tell, and they simply rolled their eyes. It was disgusting.

As Erik and Katie were flirting, Armpit from D-Tent left his group and trotted up to Kaz. He tried to smile attractively as she looked at him.

"Hey Kaz, what's crackin'?" He said.

Kaz looked at him was great dislike. "What do you want?" She snapped.

He looked her up and down and answered, "You,"

She shook her head and walked ahead of him, only to have him catch up with her. "What? Don't you want me?" He asked.

Kaz looked at him how he had looked at her, and answered firmly, "No," She tried to walk away again but he grabbed her arm. "Get offa me!"

"No," He growled. "You know you want me."

Kaz glared. "Get the hell offa me, you bastard!"

"You little-," Armpit hissed, but was cut off by the D-Tent counselor.

"Theodore? Where's Theodore?"

Armpit instantly let go of Kaz's arm and went back to his counselor. "I'm here, Mom. I was just saying 'hi' to B-Tent."

"Oh, you're such a nice person, Theodore," The counselor praised, and, as he led them to their campsite, Armpit looked at Kaz and winked.

She gave him the finger and went to catch up with the rest of B-Tent.

Erik led B-Tent very far out. They could barely make out the rest of the tents, let alone the camp.

"Okay, B-Tent, you all will dig here today. Remember to tell me when I come around with lunch and water if you find anything. Have fun!" With a sarcastic wave, he walked back to the camp, slowly getting smaller.

They dug in silence for nearly an hour. When the water truck came, they quietly clambered out of their hole, empty canteens in hand.

Katie got her canteen filled first, and she stood next to Erik, drinking almost half her water. She flirted and giggled as Erik filled the other canteens, and then, to B-Tents great annoyance, he re-filled Katie's canteen. When he left, no one but Britta saw Erik give Katie a peck on the cheek.

Britta was slightly suspicious after that, and got even more over the next few days. Katie and Erik were becoming less shy about hiding their emotions, and no one but Britta thought it was odd. During the girls' second week at camp (or at least, it seemed like their second week), Erik and Katie would walk closer together, flirt more intensely, and Britta even caught them holding hands and touching each other.

"Ugh," She had said when she'd seen that.

Britta started noticing other things that were going on. She noticed something-pit from one of the tents stalking Kaz, one guy named Octopus or something shooting glares at Jadyn repeatedly, and that Alania spent a lot of time checking out a guy in their own tent, Kid. She knew that this had been going on for a while, but she only just realized it.

Pretty soon, Britta wasn't the only person suspicious of Katie and Erik. All of B-Tent had noticed Mr. Sir talking to Erik during dinner a couple of times, and they, especially Britta, would bet it was about his 'relationship' with Katie.

Then, about a month later, something strange happened.

Kaz had been walking around after dark one night. Everyone was already asleep; she knew that this was the only chance she would have to be alone.

"We meet again," A deep voiced growled from behind. Kaz rolled her eyes at the lame comment. And at the same time, was wondering why he was out so late.

"What is it now, Dogpit?" She spat in annoyance, using the name he hated, without looked behind her.

She was suddenly grabbed from behind. She made to scream, but a huge hand was slapped across her mouth, causing her shrieks to be muffled.

She was thrown in between the Wreck Room and the Mess Hall. It was sorta like an alleyway, except with dirt and next to it was two shacks made of wood.

She kicked and flailed her arms like crazy, trying to get away from her attacker.

He threw her onto the ground and turned her on her back. She saw the huge, dark outline of someone in an orange jumpsuit, no doubt being Armpit.

"Get offa me, Armpit!" She tried to scream, but it didn't reach his ears.

He put her arms under her, and pinned her to the ground so she couldn't move. Still with his hand across her mouth, he slowly started taking off her jumpsuit.

She screamed and shrieked even louder, hoping and praying that someone would find her. She kicked around her legs, hoping to get Armpit off of her, however, with no luck.

Her jumpsuit was completely off now, and that just left her in black shorts and cami. Tears sprang to her eyes as he got closer to his goal.

As he went to pull down her shorts, she heard something that made her heart leap up with pure joy.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing!?"

She was instantly relieved of Armpit's weight, and scrambled up, getting as far away from him as possible. It was dark, so she couldn't make out who her rescuer was.

So, she ran away from them, and toward Mr. Sir's office. She burst in, yelling, "Mr. Sir! Mr. Sir!"

He grumbled in great dislike, and sat up from his bed, which he had been sleeping him. He rubbed his eyes, and mumbled, "What?"

"Armpit... tried to rape me..." She panted, from having sprinted all the way across the camp.

"What are you on about?" He glared at her.

"ARMPIT – TRIED – TO – RAPE – ME!" She screamed at him.

He rolled his eyes, but got out of bed. Then he looked at her closer. "Where your jumpsuit?"

"Well, maybe, when Armpit was trying to rape me, he TOOK IT OFF!" She shrieked.

"SHUT UP!" He yelled at her, putting on his jacket. "I'll come and look at your 'rapist', okay?" He followed her out of the cabin, mumbling something about paranoid teenagers and grabbing a flashlight.

Kaz led him to where she had been before, and they found her rescuer throwing punches at Armpit.

"Hey, hey, break it up here!" Mr. Sir cried, almost frantically, waving his arms.

Kaz's rescuer reluctantly got up, breathing heavily. Mr. Sir flashed his light onto him.

Kaz gasped. "Swirl?!"

Swirl looked at her and nodded.

"Swirl, why were you attacking Armpit?" Mr. Sir asked.

"Armpit tried to rape Kaz," Swirl replied.

Mr. Sir sighed. "Are you sure?"

Swirl blinked. "Well, it's not hard to tell when someone's raping someone else. He was taking off her clothes, as you can see -," He glanced at Kaz. "- and she victim was screaming for help. Yeah, I'd say he was trying to rape her."

Mr. Sir sighed again. "Armpit, come with me. We're gonna talk to the Warden about this. And you're already in bad luck. She doesn't like being woken up in the middle of the night anymore than I do." He glared at Kaz and Swirl, and then led Armpit off to the Warden's cabin. Armpit gave the two of them the finger before following Mr. Sir.

Kaz and Swirl stood their awkwardly for a moment.

"Um... well... thanks," Kaz stammered. She didn't know what to say. She didn't like him; no way! It was just... she'd never been attacked before, so she didn't really know how to react. 'Thanks' sounded too... light.

"It's fine," Swirl said smoothly. He picked up her jumpsuit and tossed it to her. "You might wanna put that back on.

"Yeah," Kaz quickly pulled on her jumpsuit, and they both started slowly back toward B-Tent.

"Why were you outside?" Kaz asked him. "When I left the tent, everyone was asleep."

"Yeah, well, I thought I heard something," Swirl mumbled. "I have good hearing."

Kaz grinned. "I can see that."

By then, they had reached the tent. Kaz turned to him and gave him a hug. He was surprised at first, but then he hugged her back.

Kaz backed away after that, and said firmly, "I don't love you, you know. I don't even like you! Well, like that, anyway. I'm just thankful for what you did. So, thanks. And don't get any ideas." She added before entering the tent, Swirl following her.
