Ch.3
After Dr.Pendanski took the girls on a tour he took them to their tent. "This is your tent. Start unpacking and put on your jump suits. Dinner is served in five minutes. I'll have the boys come take you." With that he went off and the girls went in their tent.
Midnight walked right over to the middle cot, put her things down, picked up the orange jump suit, and winched. Demon laughed as she took the cot to Midnights left. "They are hideous aren't they?" she asked.
"I think there kinda cute!" Honey said trying to look on the bright side of things.
"Ya gotta be kiddin' me," Midnight mumbled and stretched out on her cot.
"Mid aren't you changing?" Demon asked her as she and the others started to change.
"Nahh, I like my clothes," Midnight answered. She was wearing a black short sleeve shirt with red buttons down it and black pants with plaid red on the sides. "So who do all of you think is cute?" she asked smirking at Honey, who went all red. "Ohh Hon, don't be embarrassed. I think he likes you too…Haha…Hon, I feel weird calling people that."
"Do you really think he likes me? I'm so ugly though!" Honey exclaimed.
"No you're not. If you wanna see ugly just look at me!"
"You're so not ugly! You were like one of the prettiest girls in our school!"
"Whatever,"
"Hey," a male voice called. "Is it ok to come in?"
Midnight checked to see if it was all right. "Yea," she answered. A tall African American kid with glasses came in the tent followed by four other boys. "Hey, I'm X-Ray. This is Squid, Zigzag, Twitch, and Magnet."
"I'm Midnight. That's Demon, Honey, Brat, and Princess."
"Mom told us to get you. It's time for dinner." Zigzag said, keeping his eyes on Midnight.
"Mom?" Midnight and Honey both asked in confusion. Midnight caught Zigzag staring at her and it seemed to her like he was staring at her chest. Midnight pulled Honey in front of her so he'd look at her. "That's what we call Dr.Pendanski," Squid explained.
"Oh," Midnight replied as she got up.
"You're not going like that are you?"
Midnight shrugged, "Why not?"
"Mom will get pretty mad."
"Whatever," Midnight walked out of the tent, with everyone following. "Where is the Mess Hall again?" By the look on her face you could tell that she had short-term memory and that she's a bad listener.
"This way," Zigzag led. They went in and got food. Midnight immediately threw hers out.
"So what are your names again?" Midnight asked as she started to space out. Zigzag laughed at her airheadness. Midnight glared at him. There was something about him that she didn't like. Zigzag glared right back at her. Out of nowhere Midnight started laughing. "I hate this game," she muttered.
While Midnight was glaring at Zigzag, Squid just store into her eyes. She really was beautiful. He knew there had to be a really sweet girl inside. He knew how to get it out too…
"I want Skittles!" Demon randomly shouted.
"What do you want Skittles for?" Twitch finally spoke up.
"To eat the green ones."
"Why green?" Magnet asked.
"They make me horny."
"Ignore her," Midnight said rolling her eyes. "She's just obsessed with Skittles." "She also likes to get horny," she added quietly thought everyone heard her and they all laughed.
"That's Midnight for ya. Always making everyone laugh," Princess said more freely and not shyly.
"So what did all of you girls do to get yourselves here?" X-Ray asked.
Every girl got silent. "I'd rather not talk about it," Midnight said looking away. Squid tried to follow her gaze but it was awfully hard with her bangs in the way. "You know what?" Midnight started, "I think I'm going to unpack." She got up and all of the girls followed, leaving the boys behind.
"What did we do that was so wrong?" X-Ray wondered out loud. "It was just one little question."
"Midnight is so hot!" Zigzag said.
"I think that blonde chick likes you still," Squid said trying to get Zigzags mind off of Midnight. He wanted her all for himself.
Midnight sat on her cot brushing her hair. Demon knew something was wrong; Midnight never did that unless she was disturbed. Midnight did look distant and upset. "Mid what's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing," Midnight replied.
"Was it the question?"
"Their gonna think we're the most horrible people in the world! I already made a bad impression on myself!"
"Mid, you worry too much! Just tell them what happened then be yourself."
"But I'm a weirdo."
"No your not! Trust me, it'll work."
"Whatever."
"Umm… can we come in?" X-Ray asked.
Midnight sighed. "Sure," she replied.
"Look, I'm sorry I asked…."
"No, I'm sorry. I've been acting like a jerk."
"No you haven't!" Zigzag and Squid exclaimed at the same time. Midnight smirked and walked over to them.
"Oh really?"
"No, not at all!" Zigzag answered.
"Well then, I guess I'll just stay that way," she said raiding her eyebrows.
"Well maybe you were just a little rude," Squid admitted.
"I knew it," Midnight laughed. "So what's up with you guys?"
"Nothing much. We just wanted to clear everything up." X-Ray said.
Everyone stayed silent and didn't move until Midnight went to her cot and laid on it. For some reason Squid got the urge to go and lie on top of Midnight. He could tell that Zigzag wanted to too, as he was about to run and jump on her but Squid held him back. There was something about Midnight that he really liked; it wasn't just her looks.
Honey could tell that Zigzag really liked Midnight. She really liked him. She wanted to get to know him better. She shot Midnight a mean glance. Midnight gave her a confused look. "Hey Zigzag, can you come here?" she asked sitting up. Zigzag was by her side in a second. Honey gave her a look of warning as Midnight began to whisper in his ear. "My friend Honey over there thinks your cute. I think you should go talk to her."
"But…"
"Talk to her!"
Zigzag walked over to Honey and they started into a deep conversation. Brat, X-Ray, Princess, and Magnet started talking to each other. "Go over to him De," Midnight urged Demon to go talk to Twitch.
"But he probably won't like me and think I'm weird." Demon complained.
"Aww, no he won't! Just look at Honey and Zigzag. A minute ago he was all over me!"
"Well, I guess I'll talk to him."
"Go!" Midnight smiled as she watched her best friend go up to Twitch. She knew that Demon could be real shy at times, expecailly around guys.
Squid and Twitch were the last two guys alone until Midnight talked Demon into talking to Twitch. Now Squid was all alone; so was Midnight. And oh, how she looked so beautiful sitting there on her cot watching Demon and Twitch talk. He finally got the courage to go talk to her. "Hey," he said.
"Oh, hi!" she said startled by his appearance.
"It's cool how there are each five of us, then noone is left out," he said coolly.
"Uh huh," she replied.
"You'll get used to it here, digging the holes I mean. Pendanski told you about that right?" He asked trying to change the subject to something more comfortable, as Midnight looked uncomfortable talking about relationships and stuff.
"Yea, he told us like everything, I think." She laughed a little at herself.
"Man I really wanna kiss you," Squid blurted out.
Midnight gave him a crazy look. "What?" she exclaimed. Squid looked really embarrassed as everyone else looked at him. "I knew it! You would be exactly like my stupid father! One of those guys who moves fast just for sex and… and…"
"Calm down Midnight!" Honey said covering her mouth so she couldn't say anymore. Midnight took a few minutes to calm down and she lay on her cot and refused to talk to anyone. "Maybe it's best that we leave now," Zigzag said. "See ya in the morning."
