My watch alarm went off the next morning at the normal time and Alan and I got up as we usually did. We got changed, I behind the curtain and Alan where ever he wanted. We walked out of the tent and headed towards to Mess Hall.

"Hey, I'm sorry about budding into your business last night. I know you said that it was okay that I asked but I still don't think that I had a right to ask you." I apologized.

"I told you it didn't matter. Why do you keep apologizing? By continuing to do that, it'll make me more upset than you just asking me. Stop being stupid!" I stopped in my tracks when he said that. He continued walking, not noticing that I had stopped.

"You know what Ricky pulled last night with the rat was hilarious. Don't you think?" He was talking to himself. "Joey?" he looked around and spotted me a little ways behind him. "What are you doing?"

"You called me stupid." I glared at him, trying not to smile.

"What? I did not!"

"'By continuing to do that, it'll make me more upset than you just asking me. Stop being stupid!'"

"Oh I did say that didn't I?" he looked down at the ground.

"Yes you did."

"Well I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings. Please don't be mad at me!" he got down on his knees and begged.

"Get up you loser!"

"Now look who is insulting!"

"That was the truth not an insult!"

"Will you guys calm down?" someone said as they walked out of their tent. We looked over and saw Melissa and Melanie standing in the doorway of their tent. We were usually in the Mess Hall by now and weren't used to seeing them on our way there.

"Good morning." I said

"We weren't hyper or anything other than calm. How could you say calm down to us?" Alan had to open his mouth.

"You two were laughing so loud. We could hear you inside of the tent."

"It's not that hard to hear what's going on outside. Those things are so thin. But I am truly sorry about being 'not calm'." Alan said

"Shut up Alan." I grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the Mess Hall. "Are you two coming too?"

"Yah." Melanie answered

"Why are you digging your nails into my arm?" Alan whined when we were out of ear shot of Mel and Mel.

"You know I find that hard to believe."

"You find what hard to believe?"

"That I am digging my nails into you arm when I don't have nails."

"You don't?"

"Uh no."

"And why not?"

"Because people like you that drive me crazy make me bite them off!"

"I don't drive you crazy!"

"Yes you do!"

"No I don't"

"Yes you do!" I jumped. Justin had just interrupted our petty fight. He started laughing.

"What's so funny?" I asked

"No I don't, yes you do, no I don't!"

"You find that funny?"

"Yes I do. You two sound like two little children fighting over one of them having a big head or something like that." I giggled. Alan just stood there.

"I don't get it." Alan looked lost

"Seriously Alan just keep your mouth shut." I suggested

"That would be kind of hard when people are always talking to me."

"Please be quiet!"

"Okay you two! Get started." And we did as we were told too.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had to wash some of the trays that didn't fit in the dishwasher the night before and wasn't having fun doing it. The trays were dirtier and nastier than I had ever seen them. Alan was standing next to me drying the trays as I passed the clean ones over to him. He smiled.

"What's with the smile?" I asked curiously

"Oh nothing I'm just enjoying the quality time that we have been spending together." He said sarcastically. "I mean the girl doing the big chores, like washing the dishes, just like it should be." He stuck his tongue out at me.

"Excuse me!" I sprayed him with water

"What was that for?" he exclaimed

"Oh I'm sorry did that hit you? I lost control of the hose." And I sprayed him again, holding it on him longer this time.

"Joey! Stop!" he screamed

"What you screaming about Alan?" We heard Justin ask. I immediately started washing the trays again. Justin walked in and started laughing. "You got him pretty good!" he said to me

"I know." I gave a devilish smile

"Not funny." Alan pouted

"What did you do to her?" Justin asked Alan

"Nothing!"

"Here we go with the lying again."

"I am not lying!"

"Liar! Liar!"

"Okay. Now you two little children tell me when you're finished fighting."

"He said that me washing the dishes was just like it is supposed to be!"

"You sexist fool!" Justin joked

"I am not sexist!"

"Sure you're not!" Justin said

"It's 7:45. Can we go to our tables after I finish this tray up?" I asked holding up the last tray to be washed

"Whatever. Go do as you please."

"Thank you."

I finished washing the tray, and Alan dried it, then we went to our table. The six of them were finished eating and were just sitting around, talking.

"Good morning!" Ricky said excitedly

"Um…good morning." I looked at him cautiously

"How are you?" he asked

"I'm good."

"Oh thanks for asking me how I am!" he said offended

"Sorry. How are you?"

"Happy!"

"That's nice."

"It sure is!"

Alan and I took our seats next to Ally and Rex.

"Alan, why are you wet?" Rex looked at him funny

"He decided to take a swim in the sink." I said like it was true.

"Why would you do that?" Ricky looked at him confused

"Because I was hot."

"Joey. What did you do to him?" Jose asked

"Nothing! He took a swim in the sink. Honestly. Like he said, he was hot."

"What did he say?" Rex asked

"What do you mean?" I asked

"He must have said something to piss you off. What did he say?"

"That I was washing dishes just like every girl should be." They all started laughing. Everyone except for Jess, Alan, and I.

"You said that?" Sam looked at him, trying not to laugh too hard

"What's so funny?" he looked confused

"Joey hates guys like that."

"Like what?"

"Guys who even joke around about girls belonging in the kitchen. She was easy on you when she sprayed with water. She should have kicked your ass!" Ally answered laughing.

"Like she could." He looked at me

"You wanna go?" I stood up

"You're on!" but then I sat down because Devil walked into the Mess Hall.

"Good morning everyone!"

"Good morning." All the campers said in unison. She walked over to our table. "Alan why are you all wet?" she looked from him to me. I looked at her so she wouldn't suspect it to be me.

"I sprayed myself with water because I was hot. It was a dumb idea."

"You bet it was." I smiled, trying not to laugh. She looked at me. "Joey. Is Alan telling me the truth?"

"Why wouldn't he be?"

"I don't know. Maybe protecting a friend?"

"Why would he do that?" I asked

"I don't know. Anyways, I need you two to help me out with moving stuff in my cabin."

"Alright." I said

"Okay." He answered

"Good. Now you two come with me. The rest of you go and do your chores." And we left the table.

When we got to her cabin we say boxes sitting in the main room.

"What's in those?" I looked at her curiously

"Chairs, a stereo, a couple new tables. This is all for the Wreck Room."

"Why are we getting new stuff?" I asked

"Because we are supposedly getting a bunch of new campers. And I don't want all of you to be at each other's necks because there isn't any room or chairs for you guys."

"Okay then."

"I want you guys to take this stuff into the Wreck Room and assemble what you need to. All of the things you need at in there." She pointed to a big box sitting on the table.

"Ok then. See you around." Alan waved as Devil walked out of the cabin.

""She left us alone in her cabin. Is she dumb?"

"I'd watch what you say. She supposedly has the place wired according to Ricky." Alan said

"Ricky's insane! How can you believe him?"

"I don't. I'm just saying."

"Sure you don't believe him. Grab this." I pointed at a big box on the floor

"Are you joking? This box weighs a ton." He attempted to pick it up

"Stop being a baby."

"I'm not being the baby. You're the one who is scared to tell us why you're here!" he shot at me

"Excuse me?" I yelled at him, "Don't talk about that! You don't know the half of it."

"Why don't you tell me then? That way I won't have to worry about accidentally slipping it in a conversation because I want to know the answer!"

"You couldn't care less about what I have to say!"

"How would you know?"

"Because guys like you don't!"

"Right and the fact that I have had a far from normal life makes you think that I don't care?" I grabbed a box and stormed out of the room. I got to the Wreck Room and dropped the box on the ground. I tore it open and looked at the pieces of the chairs sitting there waiting to be assembled. I realized that I had left the tools in the cabin and walked back to get them. Alan was on his way to the Wreck Room. We passed each other as I walked back. He didn't look up at me. I got to the cabin grabbed the tools, and another lighter box and headed back to the Wreck Room. Why are guys so stupid? Why can't they mind their own business? I started cursing under my breath, kicking every rock or dirt clod that was in my way.

"Are those all of the boxes?" Alan asked as I walked into the Wreck Room. He was sitting on the floor.

"No. There's a few more."

"Okay." He started to get up. But I walked out of the room because I was already standing. "Or you can get them." He said after me

When I got to the cabin, I realized that the boxes that were left were the heaviest and I needed Alan's help. However, being as pissed as I was, I attempted to bring one to the Wreck Room myself. I started to drag it across the floor of the cabin, out the door and down the front steps. Once I got that done, I was already panting. I continued to drag it as far as I could but I soon realized that if I kept dragging it, the bottom would break and I would be stuck bringing each piece one by one to the Wreck Room. Alan walked out of the Wreck Room, and made his way over to me.

"You could have asked for help." He said as he picked up one side of the box. I picked up the other side. "How many more are left now?"

"Two. They're the heaviest ones."

"Then you'll be needing my help?" I didn't answer him

We went back to the cabin two more times and brought the last two boxes to the Wreck Room. Once we were done that we started putting the tables, and chairs together. Alan and I didn't talk. We were having a little trouble because neither of us wanted to co-operate with each other. Before we knew it the lunch bell rang. We didn't go to the Mess Hall. We kept trying to assemble the stupid things. Devil came into the Wreck Room to see how we were doing.

"Oh good you guys are almost done." We both put on happy faces

"Yup. Almost. Is there any particular place you want any of these things?"

"Nope. Just put them where you see fit."

"Alright." I smiled

"I'll see you guys later. Bye."

"Bye" we said in unison

Once we were finished putting everything together and in place I sat on the couch and stared at the TV. I wanted to go back to the tent but I had a feeling that Alan would follow me anyways, trying to calm me down. So I figured I might as well stay here.

"What do you wanna watch?" he asked

"I don't care."

"Whatever." He flipped through the channels until he found something he liked.

I eventually got up and went outside. Not many people were on the actual camp. Most of them were out re-filling the holes. I walked around aimlessly thinking about the day that the guys had landed themselves back here. It was over three weeks after the guys had gotten here, and it feels like yesterday. I hated them the minute I walked into the tent and saw them sitting on our cots. I resented them just like my brother. I thought that my hatred towards them had diminished but I guess I was wrong. But maybe I didn't hate them, maybe I was still overly sensitive about what had happened to me that it was easier for me to take my anger out on them. I mean every time I spend time with all of them, I have as much fun as the camp allows. My brother had pierced a deep hole in my heart. I had trusted him a lot, more than any of my friends trusted their brothers or sisters.

Alan had said that he had had a hard life. His mom hurt him a lot and his dad is gone. And I was sulking about my brother sending me to get drugs. I hadn't lived a hard life. I mean our family had those small problems just like all other families did, but my life still seemed almost perfect. The day my brother sent me out to pick up something for him I had lost total trust and respect for him. I couldn't care less about him, where he was, what he was doing, what he has planned. I didn't trust any one of the opposite sex, and I didn't want to have anything to do with them. Then Alan, Ricky, Jose, and Rex came along. It could be seen as the worst or the best thing that could have happened to me. I didn't know.

I eventually ended up on my bed in the tent. I lay down on my stomach, and fell asleep. I didn't hear the dinner bell go off, and when I woke up, it was almost 8.

"Crap." I mumbled under my breathe.

"Good morning sunshine!" I jumped. I didn't know anyone else was in the tent. I looked around and saw Ricky lying on his cot.

"What are you doing here? Why aren't you in the Wreck Room with the others?"

"Because I was tired and I wanted to sleep. But I can't. You want some food?" he picked up a napkin filled with some food from dinner and he walked over to my cot. "I figured I'd save some for you. Alan told us you weren't feeling well." He walked back to his cot.

"Thanks." I took the napkin from him. "That was sweet of you."

"It was no problem. Are you feeling better?"

"Kind of. What did Alan say was wrong with me?"

"He just said you we feeling sick. Nothing else, but I think he knows more than he's telling us."

"More?"

"I don't know."

"Okay then."

"What time is it?"

"Around 8."

"And what time did you go to sleep at?"

"I don't know. Around 4. Maybe. I have no idea."

"Interesting."

"Not really."

"True." Just then the other six walked into the tent.

"Yo Joey, you feeling any better?" Rex asked

"Yah, chicka you feeling better?" Jose also asked

"Yah. A little."

"You got some food. Good." Ally said

"Yup." I looked around at them, then caught Alan's eyes. I glared at him, but he didn't glare back. He was still pissed at my outburst but there wasn't so much anger in his eyes anymore. He lay down on his cot, which was next to mine. We didn't do much for the next half hour, and we were all practically asleep by the time Devil came around, yelling at us to shut or lights and flaps.
