A/N: Sorry it took so f-ing long to update...summer school was bad and I'm busy with many other stuff...but I did miss writing about the lesbians. Please R&R!
Chapter Five
Squid was lying on his stomach on his cot, propped up on his elbows and resting his chin on his knuckles as he moved his legs back and forth in the air, sighing aloud to his friends, "Gosh, Alex sure is pretty, ain't she?"
"She may be the prettiest, but they're all pretty," X-Ray corrected. "I think I'm seriously going to hook up with Samantha…I think she's into me…she was pointing me out to her friend at breakfast."
"It's THOSE EYES!" Zigzag interrupted quickly. "That's all that's attractive about her. She looks dead and her front teeth protrude more than that Snake fellow down in C-tent when he's in the showers, if you know what I mean."
"That was gross, man; we didn't need to know that."
"Still, I'm telling you," the blonde boy shrugged. " Tara is much damn pretty and mature compared to those other girls."
"Since when do you like girls like that? She looks like she's five! Sick pedophile you are, Ziggy," Magnet retorted, lying back in bed. "I mean, that Dionne girl is a sweet look chica, c'mon, cuán hermoso es ella? Not as hot as that Alex girly Squid claimed, but Alex is whorish looking. And besides, none of us got as close as Pit did to she-man…though not in a good way."
Barfbag was busy tending to Armpit's black eye. "Jesus Christ, that Patty girl sure kicked your ass."
"That's why you never call her Patty or Patricia. But she does it rough and I like it rough. Hell, what about you and that one chick?"
"Leslie? I dunno…I don't think she likes me much…"
"No, dumb ass, not Leslie, the other one you were talking to," Squid snapped, taking away his hands from his face.
"Oh." Barfbag wrinkled his nose and shrugged as he pressed the icepack against Armpit's eye. "Janie. She doesn't like me either. She likes Zero, she told me."
The test burst into a fit of laughter as the small, curly headed boy turned a deep red. He did think Janie was cute; not "hot" or "sexy" like her friends, but cute. He liked that—gave her a charming sense of innocence.
"But!" Barfbag yelled over the screams of amusement, "I think she already has a boyfriend."
Silence came over them just as quickly as the laughter did.
"What the hell?" Zigzag asked, his stormy blue eyes widening.
Barfbag shrugged. "Anybody know a guy named Sam at this camp?"
Thoughtful gazes spread across all their faces till Zigzag said, "Think that kid in C-tent…ya'll know Tick Tock? Think that's Sam, dunno though."
It was getting painfully obvious that this conversation was getting to Zero, so they quickly steered away from the topic.
"I miss Dionne already!" Magnet sighed.
"And I never got my goodnight kiss from Alex."
"You mean the slutty looking one."
"Shut up, bitch."
"Okay."
"If you miss her so much," X-Ray said, "go see her. And as for you! You march right over there and get what belongs to you."
The two boys couldn't resist. It was against the rules, not against the Warden's rules of course, but Miss Kathy's rules. Then again, if they did get punished, there was a good chance that Miss Kathy would be the one to punish the boys and she was an attractive woman.
Trouble or not, Magnet and Squid thought they couldn't lose.
……
"Are you sure this isn't a bisexual camp?" Dionne asked, running into the tent after Pat, both girls panting.
Pat nodded, still trying to catch her breath. "It…was…all too…obvious…earlier…"
Some boys had been chasing them around the camp for the last half hour for a kiss, a game it was, they believed.
It seemed to them that it was a game to the boys—"pretend you're heterosexual; it's a funny joke!"
Though Dionne and Pat couldn't see what they found amusing to the game, they admitted they had fun playing it too. It was amusing to see homosexual boys chasing around the girls, pretending they wanted a kiss. Then again, the catcalls and suggestive remarks were a bit annoying and nearly believable.
They sat down and began talking about who was the cutest, bitchiest, smartest, sexiest, or sluttiest girl at the camp.
"Have you seen Alex, though?" Pat whispered. "I mean, by the way she's acting, you'd think she was straight! We'd be in a lot of trouble if the boys weren't homosexual."
"What did you say about me?" the brunette girl asked, walking into the tent on her long, tan legs along with the rest of them.
Dionne and Pat turned red.
Alex smiled as she took off the towel wrapped around her body to change. "Don't worry about it. It's kind of fun, anyway. I think the Squid boy; you know the one who I think is dating Magnet or Zigzag? Yeah, I think he's doing the same thing…pretending he's straight. Sometimes, because of boys like him, I think I should become bisexual."
They started at her credulously and stopped in the middle of putting on their clothes to question her with their eyes.
"I was joking."
"Oh…but don't joke about that; we know how sensitive Janie is about…you know."
"Suck it," the Asian girl snapped. "So what if I'm the only bisexual girl in this damn camp?"
"We just want to make sure you're not going to cheat on me with some douche bag from Camp Green Lake that might so happen to be bisexual too," said Samantha, winking knowingly.
"Will you all shut up?" Leslie snapped, putting on a t-shirt to sleep in and a pair of white panties. "Who cares about boys? This is reminding me of the time we had to stay over at Camp Mary Sue for a pit stop. All they talked about was the cute boys they met at the other camps."
"You've been awfully snappy today, sweetie," said Alex, sitting down on the cot next to her. "We all saw you yelling at that one boy that smells bad."
"You did?"
They all nodded in unison as Leslie got up, embarrassed, to grab her pillow from her crate. "Ain't my fault. He was staring all rudely and I think he's got a problem with lesbians though he's a fag himself."
There was the sound of rocks scuffling outside and the girls stopped.
"What was that?" asked Tara, panicking.
Dionne squeezed her hand and replied, "Dunno…"
They hesitated before going on with their conversations.
Alex crawled to the end of the bed as Leslie bent down to pick up her hairbrush. "I think a good spanking is in order since you were so rude to our new friends."
Before anybody could let Alex's words sink in, there was a loud slap and Leslie screamed, straightening back up, holding her behind.
"What the hell was that for?"
"I just told you!"
The others laughed as Leslie grabbed her girlfriend's wet towel and rolled it up, whipping her behind with it.
"That should teach you!"
There was a muffled, "Oh yeah!" coming from outside, that sounded oddly like a boy.
Janie silently stormed over to the tent and pulled the flap back to revel a Hispanic boy and a white boy with brown hair and a toothpick peeking in.
Magnet had obviously become quite "excited" up to the point that it was impossible to hide and Squid was considerably red.
The girls screamed and hid for cover—most of them were half-naked, others without tops, and the rest, only in their undergarments, leaving Squid and Magnet, who were now lying on the ground, covering their eyes in hopes to make it "better".
Alex stormed over to them and hovered over their faces. Seeing that she had it under control, the others poked their heads out of their hiding places.
Squid and Magnet had heard it get quiet, so they uncovered their eyes and looked up, seeing Alex lingering above them. It was quite a shock actually, that she out of all the girls would do this seeing that she was only in her skimpy little black thong and bra.
Magnet could only goggle as a very "certain" part Alan's lower body suddenly became a "giant squid".
"Were you listening into our conversation?" Alex sneered while they scrambled to their feet, avoiding eye contact with her.
Squid was too busy trying to get his little friend back down so Magnet answered for the both of them.
"No, of course not, we wanted to say goodnight to you girls and…yeah…"
The rest of the D-tent girls emerged from their hiding places with blankets wrapped around them.
"That's sweet…I guess…"
Another body came through the tent flap and seeing what he saw; Mr. Sir began to yell so loud that nobody could even understand what he was saying, his Texas accent getting thicker and thicker.
Before anybody could even ask what in the hell he was talking about, he dragged the two boys out of the tent by the collar.
……
Knock, knock, knock
The Warden groaned to herself as she pulled herself up from the couch to stroll over to the door. She pulled back the frilly curtain and saw the smiling, pretty face of Miss Kathy.
"What?" she asked, annoyed.
The dark-haired Warden beamed, replying, "Oh, I was just walking around and thought you might need some company."
Thoughts whirled around in the Warden's head as the opened the door, allowing the other woman in.
"Here!" Miss Kathy shoved the bouquet of dandelions in the Warden's hands. "Heard they were your favorite; I just had to give them to you."
"Er…thank you…" She set them down on her kitchen counter and uneasily shifted around in her place as Miss Kathy grinned at her.
"Can I help you with anything else?"
Miss Kathy's dark eyes softened suddenly, as she began to move in, causing the Warden to gulp nervously and back away.
"We've been friends since we were little girls, haven't we, Lou?"
"Um, yeah, heh, I suppose," she replied, still backing away. "That's why I invited you here—"
There was a flash of delight in Miss Kathy's eyes and the Warden kicked herself for it. Stupid, stupid! You already told her once that you didn't love her that way…way to hint…stupid bitch I am…
She found herself cornered in the corner of her kitchen, backed away against the refrigerator, with Miss Kathy's lips nearly brushing against hers. Soft pink lips that wanted so badly to press against the thin chapped lips couldn't.
It would also be a funny sight for an onlooker. A beautiful, dark-haired beauty was being creepily aggressive to a scraggly haired woman with more wrinkles than there were holes at the camp.
Miss Kathy almost had her in her full control, lips nearly meeting.
"Lou!"
Miss Kathy and the Warden jumped as Mr. Sir barged into her house pulling Magnet and Squid by the collar and both of the immediately seeing the two Wardens against each other.
It was hard to tell who was the most surprised: Magnet, Squid, the Warden, or Mr. Sir. Miss Kathy, however, was just disappointed.
