A/N: This is going to be a short yet fun (I hope) chapter...very dramatic...for the boys at least. Please R&R

Chapter Four

Around eight o'clock, right after dinner, Alex had a hard time finding the showers, eventually learning that if she just followed the sound of running water, she'd make her way.

Two of the six showers were already occupied by boys in C-tent named Snake and Easy. She stopped in her tracks and paused momentarily but shrugged it off, remembering that they were homosexual. She freely took off her clothes and stepped into the shower beside them, not wanting to come across as a loner.

"Hello boys," she greeted, letting the cold water dampen her curly brown locks. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."

They didn't hear the last part for they were far too busy ogling at her. Seeing that they had nothing to say slightly annoyed her but she began looking for the soap. After looking around in vain, but finding none, she asked Snake, "Um, excuse me, where's the soap?"

There was once again no answer. She looked down over at their stall and her eyes widened, seeing the white bar sitting patiently, waiting to be used. It was more than half gone and Alex, being the girly girl that loved to keep clean, was disappointed.

"Is that all they've got around this place?" she asked them with displeasure.

"What are you talking about?" Snake whimpered, alarmed as she placed her hands on her feminine hips.

"I mean that," she snapped, pointing down. "I mean, just look at it! It's tiny!"

Snake looked down between his legs, thinking he knew what she was pointing at and felt as though he were about to cry. "It gets bigger—I swear!"

A bit confused, but nevertheless feeling her PMS kick in, she hissed, "In case you haven't noticed, that's impossible. This is a detention camp, not a magic show. It's shrunken down! Practically useless! Nobody's even going to see it."

Easy began to laugh, but Alex glared at him, saying in reply, "The same goes for you! I bet yours is just as bad—maybe even smaller. I came here to be satisfied; not be disappointed with the miniature things! Just wait till the others hear…"

They both flushed with embarrassment and quickly begged, "Please don't! We can satisfy!"

"Unless you get bigger ones around here, I'm filing a complaint to your Warden about not supplying me properly." Alex looked down again at the measly bar of soap and she stepped out of the shower and the water automatically shut off. She pranced away with her straight nose in the air, still quite irked with her PMS and the shortage of soap.

Once she was out of sighed, the two boys looked at each other in frustration and humiliation. Their showers had long been shut off, but they were too beat down to move.

"I never thought anybody would actually point it out," Easy sniffed, wiping a tear away from his eye.

"You should talk," his friend replied, looking more depressed by the minute. "Our tent lied to me. They said they didn't call me Snake for nothing."
