The alarm went off and I woke up. It felt like I hadn't even shut my eyes. I hadn't been getting much sleep lately since Squid's little visit two weeks ago. Me and Ziggy have been hanging out more and more but we haven't kissed again. Squid has been really sweet to me and sometimes we hang out too. The boys want to play Strip Poker on the 4th of July. Which is in a week. Twitch left the camp. He only had Five months. Lucky him. Squid has another 10 months to go unless he does something bad again. Ziggy has another 20 to go. Since he endangered lives he has more. Caveman and Zero are leaving next month. Magnet has another 9 months to go.
Armpit has another 10 months to go and X-Ray.. Well I don't know about X-ray. We're getting a new kid today. Either Boy or Girl. No one knows. I got Squid to get into the files. That's how we know. We didn't get to see what it was. Mom came too close to finding us. We ended up squished together in Mom's closet. It was actually pretty fun. But I could tell being so close to me made him happy. If you know what I mean.
I walked out to the Shovel Library to find Ziggy already there. I like calling him Ziggy. It's a pet name I guess. He smiled when he saw me and walked to me.
"Top of the morning to you." he said with an irish accent. I laughed. "Same to you." I replied, also in an irish accent. He laughed. And then he just smiled. "I love your smile! It's so cute!" I said. He blushed. "Aww.. You're so cute!" I laughed.
"Shut up." He said playfully.
"Or what?" I laughed.
"No, really, shut up." A voice behind me said. I could tell it was Cig.
"Cig, what the hell is your problem? Cause if it's some little jealousy thing you need to get over it and grow up." I said turning to face her. She just looked at me with an angered face.
"Jealous? Of what? Of you and Mr. Crazy-man? Or of you and Mr. Look-at-me?" She spat. ZigZag bit his lip to keep from saying something. I know it bothered him to be called crazy in such a serious tone.
"Okay seriously what is your problem? What did ZigZag or Squid ever do to you? You've been acting so pissy lately. You really need to grow up little girl." I said.
Cig's POV I can't believe she just called me that! "Just because I'm only 13 doesn't mean anything! I'm only trying to protect you from what these boys really are! They're all alike. But since you have to be such a bitch I'll just let you find out for yourself!" I said before turning toward the tent. I stayed there untill I heard more people moving about outside. I'm just trying to save her. I shook my head. Why can't she see that?
ZigZag's POV What the fuck did I ever do to her? NOTHING! She knows I don't like being called crazy but she just had to do it. She's lucky she's a girl. If she does it again I'm going to knock her out. I don't care if she's a girl or not! Jesus! I bit my lip to keep from saying those things. Psych and I watched as Cig ran off. Then Psych turned to me.
"What did she mean? I'm only trying to protect you from what they really are?" She asked. I shrugged. Oh great now she thinks we're rapists or something!
"I have no clue what she was talking about.." I trailed off as more boys joined us. We got our shovels and went to work. After Mr. SIR showed us all where to dig our daily holes he left. Psych came to my hole. She was a fast digger so she had lost of time to spare. The sky was still dark and some stars were still out. Magent was falling asleep, leaning against his shovel facing the other way. X-ray was also drifting off. Zero and Caveman were digging away and so was armpit. Cig wasn't there. Squid was laying on the ground, his hand behind his head, sleeping. I've never known myself as a romantic, but I felt this was a really good moment to kiss Psych. It seemed Romantic. I had a little pit dug out it was really small.
I sat down and she sat beside me. My legs were bent a bit and I rested my arms on them. She held her knees close to her and leaned against me. I could hear her steady breathing and I could faintly smell her hair. It smelt good. They must get extra shower tokens or something. "You smell good." I said. She laughed.
"Thank you." She sighed.
"It's really pretty." I said looking at the mountains.
"Yea it is. And surprisingly it's chilly." She said. I put my arm around her shoulders. She nestled herself comfortably and slid her legs out to her side, then she put her hand on my chest. Right then I felt so happy. I had a deathly case of the butterflies as I lifted her chin and kissed her.
