Chapter 5
Candy Bars
As the six teens trudged back to camp, they didn't realize it at the time, but they were becoming fast friends. Even Katie was lightning up.
"Hotwiring." She blurted out. The others turned and looked at her. "Mostly cars, but some motorcycles too."
Twitched grinned. Even if the others didn't know what Katie was saying, he knew. That's how she had gotten here. The same way he did.
When they got back to camp they parted ways to go clean up before dinner. Unless they had missed dinner. Which was very likely. It was, according to Mandy's watch, ten till seven.
After the girls had changed into their other "clean" orange jump-suits they stayed in their tents for a while. Katie started reading, while Mandy and Hannah talked about anything random they could think of.
"Knock knock!" Twitch near hollered outside the tent door.
Mandy went to the tent door. Poking her head out she said in a mocking way, "Yeah? Well, we don't want any!" Twitch pretended to be hurt. "Aww. Well, I was bringing you a little something Magnet umm...coxed from the kitchen! It's only three cartons of orange juice, but its better than nothing."
Katie came over to the door. "Well, I have some candy bars in my bag...but we did need something to drink." Twitch's eyes got big. "CANDY BAR? Gosh! I can't remember the last time I had one!" Katie caught the hint and gave in. "Oh fine." Pretending to be annoyed. "I GUESS I can spare you half of one." She threw it to him after she unwrapped it. Twitch took one tiny bite. "I guess I should probably savor it huh? How many more do ya got?"
Mandy looked over at Katie. "Umm...three. (she had her fingers crossed behind her back) And we're saving them for a special time."
Katie rolled her eyes.
"Well, I better get going. The guys are going to wonder what happened to me." Twitch said over his shoulder as he left. "Thanks!"
Hannah walked over to where Katie was sitting on her bed pretending to read her book. "Ohhh...Mandy! I think we got one down two to go!" Hannah ducked just before Katie tackled her, Katie blushing all the while. "Ya'll know it can't be like that!" Katie was annoyed now. "We ARE only staying here a week at the most! That'd be...crazy..."
