Allo ppl! sorry it tookme so long to update i've been drowned in school work and such. Anyways.. here's my next chapt. i hope you like it! Plz remember to review!
The next day Zero and Caveman were digging their holes together, the rest of the guys were angry about it. Sam couldn't care less; "They're the smart ones really." She thought. At lunch while all the guys were complaining about it together Sam ate with Zero and Caveman.
"So, why are you guys all of a sudden digging together?" She asked
"Stanley's gonna teach me to read." Zero replied happily.
"Aww that's so nice of you!" Sam smiled at Caveman.
"Yea I guess" replied Caveman, trying to sound laid-back "but I don't really think the other guys like the idea."
"They're a bunch of babies don't worry about it. But you might get in trouble from the warden."
"Why? If the holes getting dug who cares whose digging it, right?"
"I guess, but it's supposed to be a punishment." "Anyways I gotta get back to digging my hole! Later guys."
Over the next few days Caveman and Zero continued digging their holes together, and kept up with the reading lessons, Zero was a very fast learner. However, as each day passed the rest of the guys kept getting angrier and angrier about them helping each other out, and they started calling Caveman a slave-driver.
"Must be nice working with your own personal slave" X-Ray said to Caveman and Zero one day at their hole, while Squid pushed dirt back into their hole menacingly.
"Come on guys leave them alone." Yelled Sam from her hole.
"Why should we? They shouldn't be digging together in the first place! It's not fair to the rest of us!" said Squid.
"Then why don't you guys start helping eachother dig?" she asked questioningly."We can't do that! It's against the rules!" piped up Magnet
"Since when do you follow rules Magnet? You guys are constantly stealing food, you gamble shower tokens, and you keep mouthing off to Mom. You guys are such hippocrites!" she replied angrily.
"No we're not, maybe we're just turning over a new leaf!" exclaimed Zig Zag.
"Yea that'll be the day." Mumbled Sam as she returned to digging.
Later that day, when Sam was done her hole she returned to the tent to hear Zero reading off letters. "M-O-M" and then she heard him tell Caveman about his mom and how she just disappeared one day. "Poor Zero, no wonder he hardly ever talks to anyone." Sam thought. She waited a few minutes before entering the tent not wanting them to know she had overheard them and went to sit on her cot.
At the sound of the dinner bell Sam waited for all the guys to enter the Mess Hall while she began her shower. Surprisingly enough, Sam was beginning to get used to the cold water and acutally enjoyed her showers after a hot day of digging. When she finished she dried herself off, got into her relaxtion jumpsuit and forced her hair into her hat once again, checking in a mirror to be sure there were no loose strands of hair exposed, and headed off to the mess hall.
The only place for Sam to sit at the table was next to Armpit, to her misfortune. While eating the slop they fed them she heard the guys mumbling to each other and then Armpit turned to her.
"Hey Sam, this one time I went fishing with my dad and his friend." He smiled at the rest of the guys. "My dad caught a fish this big", he showed the size using his arms, "his friend caught a fish this big," he then widened his arms, "and I caught a fish this big" he widened his arms even more and put his one arm around Sam.
"Oh my god that's disgusting!" she choked and pretended to pass out onto the floor causing all the guys to laugh, but she didn't move for a while so they thought that she had actually passed out.
"Good job Pit!" exclaimed X-Ray hitting Armpit's shoulder.
"Well I was just kidding I didn't think she'd actually pass out!" Armpit said embarrassed.
"How do we walk her up?" Asked Caveman walking over to her body.
"Maybe Squid should kiss her, you know like sleeping beauty!" Joked Magnet and all the guys laughed, but Squid turned red, "Shutup man! We're just friends!"
"Sure you are." X-Ray mumbled just loud enough for it to be audible.
"We are!" yelled Sam sitting up, making all the guys jump.
"Jeez, we thought he killed you or something!" said Zig Zag wide-eyed.
"Well that is a dangerous stench but it's not enough to kill me." She sat in her seat once again. She continued in a slight whisper, "You know you guys should stop doing stuff that like to me, the other guys are gonna start to wonder."
"Oh yea" "sorry we forgot!" some of the guys mumbled.
"Whatever." She replied with a smile. "Sorry if I embarrassed you there Armpit."
"Hey the whole point was to gross you out, at least my smell is good for something!" Everyone laughed.
Later when everyone was back in their tents waiting for lights out Sam asked, "Is it really impossible for me and Squid to be friends?"
"Well you guys do spend a lot of time alone together." Said Magnet.
"So do you and Armpit, so what do you guys make-out or something?"
"Of course not!" Yelled Armpit defensively.
"Then why do you just assume that we're more than friends?" Asked Squid
"Exactly we just have things in common, and are currently dealing with some of the same things that we can talk to each other about."
"So you guys don't like eachother at all in that way?" asked Caveman. Squid and Sam remained silent for a moment then replied in unison "No!" causing all the guys laughed at their obviousness. They quickly looked at eachother then walked to their own beds embarrassed.
"I don't like him, there's no way I can, I mean we're just friends nothing more.. I think! Damn it, why do I always have to fall for the nice guy?" Sam thought while lying in bed. "And he doesn't really like me like that anyways, he would have told me. And even if he did nothing will come of it. Just don't think about it, you're just friends maybe you just think you like him cause of what everyone else is saying, you don't really like him so don't worry about it." However she wasn't able to convice herself of that fact. "Why me?"
That last part there is something I dealt with when I had a crush on one of my best guyfriends Josh. Sorry that I said it wouldn't turn into a romance type story with Squid but who can deny not wanting to be romantically linked with his hotness? Anyhoo, I'm almost done my next chapt so hopefully it'll be up sooner than this one was! REVIEW!
