Chapter 7
"What about you?" Piglet asked Zigzag.

"I set fire to my school," he said, laughing wildly, "I like fire! Only problem was I got trapped inside, that's the only way they caught me, otherwise they wouldn't of known it was me who did it," Piglet raised her eyebrows.

Zigzag scowled at her, "What!" he demanded.

Piglet just gave him a look and then said, "You are SO weird!"
Zigzag mumbled something like, "Stupid Bitch," under his breath.

Baby was getting quite fed up with them always bickering.

"What was that Zigzag I didn't quite hear you," Piglet demanded even though she had heard.

"You heard me fine, you deaf or something?" Zigzag said angrily. They were both glaring at each other.

Mr Pendanski was watching with some kind of entertained look on his face.

"Stop it you two!" Baby blurted out.

"Shut up Baby!" Piglet said furiously, "Don't you want me to mean to your poor little Ziggy?"
Baby just shook her head at her disbelievingly before looking at Armpit, "Ok, Armpit what are you in here for?" She looked sideways at Piglet and Zigzag they were still throwing each other dirty looks across the room.

"Street fights," Armpit said simply, staring at his hands.

"Zero, what are you in here for?" Baby asked him softly, she doubted he would answer.

He looked up at her slightly and stared intensely into her eyes. Man, this boy seems deep, she thought.

He didn't answer though.

"Don't bother talking to Zero," Mr Pendanski butted in, "He thinks he's better than all this, don't you buddy boy,"

Zigzags P.O.V
I hate Piglet so much. That girl is so bitchy, she just does my head in. I hate it that she always acts as though she's better than me. I need to teach that cow a lesson. But I wouldn't hit a girl. Yeah, I'm a juvenile delinquent but at least I have the decency to know not to hit a girl. That's what my mum always taught me, she also taught me to always be myself. But look what being myself has got me into. Now everyone thinks I'm crazy.

When we had our meeting with Mom, Piglet was being a bitch to me. She asked me why I was in here, so I told her and she looked at me as though I am crazy. I hate it when people do that. So said, what! And she just said that I am so weird and that led to a little argument between us. She just didn't know when to give up. Baby tried to stop it. Why does Piglet always haveto start an arguement with me though?

After the meeting all of D tent headed towards the mess hall for dinner. Piglet literally ran to the table so that she could sit next to Squid.

She was laughing and chatting with him. She kept looking up to see if Baby was watching. Baby kept her eyes on her food.

"Guess what?" X ray said as he sat down, "I heard Mom and Mr Sir talking, they were saying that there might be a new girl in D tent soon," Piglet and Baby looked at him.

"Is there even room?" Baby asked, she wasn't too keen on the idea of having a new girl.

X ray shrugged, "Probably, they'd be able to squeeze her in, they managed to squeeze you two in,"
"But that's coz Baby is so small," Magnet said, laughing.

Baby stuck her tongue out at him.

Piglet was looking at Squid with a pathetic look on her face, "I think you hat is cool, can I wear it?" she asked.
"No…" Squid began to say but Piglet took the hat off of his head before he got a chance to finish.

She plonked it on her head and looked over at Baby to see if there was any reaction.

Baby forced herself not to show any. Her nose was so close to her sloppy pile of food if she leant any further forwards her whole face would be in it.

"Uh.. give me my hat back," Squid said, quite annoyed.

"Fine," Piglet sighed, giving it back to him. She was annoyed that Baby didn't seem one bit bothered, "I'm going anyway,"
She got up and left the mess hall in a little bit of a huff.

"God, she is weirder than Zigzag sometimes," Squid muttered. There was a chorus of laughter from the boys apart from Zigzag who just gave Squid a piercing glare.

Squid looked atBaby and put his hat lightly on her head.

"Here," he said.

"What?" Baby asked confused.

"Just don't let Piglet know," he said winking.

"No it's ok," Baby said, taking the hat off. Squid looked a little hurt.

"Piglet likes you a lot, ok," she said, "I think it's best if I don't talk to you," With that she got up and walked out off the mess hall, she could hear Squid calling after her, she ignored him and started running…

She found Piglet in the tent. She was lying on her cot and writing in a small book thing.

She snapped it shut when she heard Baby come in.

Baby raised her eyebrows at her.

"Diary then, huh?" Baby asked.

"Yeah and don't you dare go reading it," Piglet said, a little too aggressively.

"I wouldn't dream of reading it, besides I have a diary myself," Baby said, sitting down on her cot.

Piglet just shrugged and eyed Baby angrily.

They sat in an awkward silence for a couple of minutes. Baby got up and got her walkman out of her crate. Piglet was still glaring at her.

"What's your problem, eh, Piglet?" Baby asked, getting straight to it, "I know you like Squid, a lot, and you can have him if you want, I don't want him," (that was a lie)

Piglet looked up slightly, "What about what happened in the wreck room?"
"That was nothing," Baby said, "I didn't want a fight to start between him and that boy. You're my best friend, obviously I wouldn't try and steal some guy away from you."
"It's obvious Squid likes you though," Piglet muttered.

"He doesn't and even if he did, which I doubt, he doesn't now, I told him that it's best I don't talk to him just then in the mess hall and I think he took the hint," Baby said.

"I don't want you to stop talking to him!" Piglet exclaimed, "I just don't want you to be so touchy feely with him,"
"I promise you I will not so much as lay a finger on him from now on," Baby said, quite glad that Piglet wasn't being so moody now.

"Good," Piglet said, she then paused, "Do you think he likes me,"
Baby looked at her sideways, she looked back at Baby eagerly, "Umm.. I don't know," Piglet didn't seem to happy with Baby's reply.

Just then they could hear the noisy chatter of the boys entering the tent. Piglet smiled slightly and bounded out to go see them.
Baby slowly followed her.

Squid sat down on his cot. Piglet plonked herself down beside him. Hegave her a small smile.

Baby stood awkwardly beside the tent which separated the boys from the girls. Caveman came and stood by Baby. He smiled at her nervously. Baby gave him a look that plainly meant, "What!"
"Can I talk to you?" he asked.

"Well that's what we're doing now isn't it?" Baby said, she didn't mean to be cranky with him, it's just she was still in a little huff with everything that had been happening to her.

"I mean, in private," Caveman said seriously.

Baby felt really confused.

"Well… ok then," she said quietly, looking at him quizzically.

She followed him out the tent. No one seemed to notice them leaving.

They sat down on the steps.

Caveman looked at the ground for a couple of seconds, "See the thing is…" he started.

He looked out across the lake bed.

"I like Piglet, I mean I really like her," he said, "It's just I don't think she likes me THAT way, she likes Squid more than me,"
Baby just nodded, this was a surprise to her.

"I want to make her like me but I don't know how," he continued.

"And why are you telling me this?" Baby asked.

"Well.." Caveman looked at her as though it should be obvious, "You're her best friend, so you know stuff about her, like what she goes for in a guy,"
"You've got it wrong Cavey," Baby admitted, "I don't know what she goes for, she's weird, she goes for different types,"
"Can you get her to notice me though?" Caveman asked.

Baby slowly got up and brushed herself down, "I'll see what I can do,"
She walked back into the tent. Piglet looked up at her, "Baby come sit by us," she said, gesturing for her to come over.
Baby walked over and sat beside Piglet on Squids cot.

"Squid, lucky you," Armpit chuckled, "Two girls, both on your cot…"
