Broken But Not Shattered
Chapter Five: Keavy Gets A Name and Some Friends?
Keavy awoke to the sound of the wake-up call. She lifted her head only to find it on Squid's chest. Out of sheer surprise and aggravation she bolted out of bed and back to B-Tent for the rest of her things.
"Look boys, she's back." Link said applauding her efforts sarcastically.
Keavy glared at him and said, "Yeah after your warm welcome maybe I'll think about stayin'."
"Really?" Link asked with an expression of surprise painted on his face.
"Yeah, and then we can all me one big, happy, family." She said spitting the words in his face. "You really think I'm gonna stay after all the junk you put me through! Heck, I was more welcome at D-Tent than I ever was here. Now if you don't mind I need to get my things." Keavy said pushing through the crowd of B-Tent boys that blocked her way.
Keavy grabbed her backpack and headed towards the showers, pulling out the tokens she was given she put them through the slot. Expecting to feel warm soothing water, she found the complete opposite, but without complaint she let the cold water slide its way down her bare body.
"Thankfully no one is out," She thought to herself, "What was I thinking last night, letting Squid in my bed like that? Keavy Torrelli is not easily won over. Well maybe I just felt bad for him, I mean the poor kid was bawling like a baby, you did what you should've, and it was the right thing to do. There you go getting' all soft again....." Keavy's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Hey Keavy!" it shouted, "You done, we want to come out." The voice was none other than Stanley himself.
"I can't believe it," she thought again, "They're giving me my privacy and not being perverted teen-age boys." This time she interrupted her own thoughts. "Yeah I'm done just give me one moment, or do I have to run out there naked?!" She asked letting her Brooklyn attitude get a hold of her. Keavy quickly dressed into the jumpsuit and ran towards D- Tent with her hair dripping.
As she walked inside all the D-Tent boys including the quiet one, of whom she didn't know his name, stared at her.
"Yeah, it's me, now there's nothin' more to see!" she screamed.
D-Tent walked out of the tent leaving Keavy in there by herself. She heard them snicker as they left.
"What in the name of all New York was that all about?" she talked aloud to herself, "It's like they've never seen someone wet before. Well I guess it's on to breakfast."
Keavy trudged out the tent door and towards the direction of a grumpy Mr. Sir.
"Well how'd you like your first night in yer new home, Kiwi?" Sir asked spitting a sunflower seed right into her face.
Wiping it off she said agitatedly, "The name's Keavy! Do I have to spell it for you, you uneducated hick! Oh and next time you spit one of those things at me I'll make it so you can't have kids!"
"Well the next time you talk to me that way, I'll make it so you don't have water." He said eyeing her.
"Whatever." Keavy muttered, she was tired wet and miserable and she didn't feel like arguing with Mr. Sir, all she cared about right now was food.
She walked over to the back of the line where she saw a familiar face from D-Tent, it was Magnet.
"I should warn ya, chica. Breakfast sucks, just like every other meal here."
"I think I can manage," she said cutting in front of him and grabbing what lay at the bottom of the pan. Her fingers touched a sticky substance, she pulled out a syrup-sogged tortilla. Magnet watched her as she took a big bite. "Ugh, what do they want to do, poison us?!" Keavy said as she bit into the rest of her breakfast.

The hot Texas sun beat down upon D-Tent, it was Keavy's first hole.
"Oh happiness," Keavy said in mock sarcasm, "I want to come here every time I do something wrong."
"Even the Warden could say no to that, you'd probably kill her yapping that big mouth of yours." Armpit said standing over the 3 foot hole where Keavy lay sipping water.
Keavy plugged her nose an let her New York mouth do the talking, "I think she's dead already smelling your stench, you fat disgusting blob!"
Armpit jumped into the hole and grabbed Keavy by her neck, "Girl or not, I'm gonna kill you!" He threw her up against the dirt wall of the hole and squeezed her neck even harder, in turn she aimed her leg and kicked with all her might; sending him on the ground. By the time he was able to get back up again small, Keavy was on his back.
"Whoa, Pit! Mouth! Quit!" Screamed X-ray. Immediately Pit released his grip on Keavy's arm, and she released her grip off his neck.
"What's goin' on here?" By that time all of D-Tent surrounded Keavy's hole.
"It's like this, X. She made some smart-mouth remarks 'bout me and I retaliated."
"Look, Mouth if you want to stay in D-Tent you have to learn to shut your trap, or it's back to B-Tent."
"X-ray I didn't choose to be apart of this tent, a couple of your boys invited me. As for Pit here, he asked for it, so don't go tellin' me off when you don't know the half of it!" She screamed in her Brooklyn accent which made Squid and Zig snicker.
Eyeing them she remarked, "What are you laughin' at you bunch of hicks?!" With hearing that Squid and Zig shuffled off into their holes, as did the rest of D-Tent leaving Keavy alone in her hole.
"You just had to shoot your mouth off didn't you, Keave." She asked herself, "You know you always get yourself in trouble."
"Yeah that's the worst thing you can do 'round here, is talk a lot." Squid was sitting at the edge of her hole chewing a toothpick.
"Whaddya want, Hick?"
"Nothin'"
"Then leave."
"Nope."
"Why I aughta!" Keavy said shaking her fist at him.
Squid chuckled, "You aughta what?" He jumped into her hole and came unusually close to her. "What are ya gonna do now?"
Trying to breathe she heard his heart pounding against his chest and the shudder of his breath. "I - I um.....is the water truck here." She said changing the unspoken subject.
Squid came closer to her until he could wrap his arms around her and he did. "Thanks, about last night and all."
Keavy remained silent.
"What's this, Mouth has nothing to say?"
Slience then a muffled sob.
"What's wrong, Keave?"
Quickly wiping her tears, she pushed herself out of his embrace and her old attitude returned, "Get offa me you pervert!"
"What?"
"Leave me alone!"
"Have it your way." Squid climbed out of the now four foot hole and returned to his own. He wasn't sure what he did wrong, or how he made her cry, but he did. And for the rest of the night the boy who usually threw his own sarcastic comments around, remained silent.
Keavy finished the rest of her hole and trudged back to D- Tent. While the boys were in the Wreck Room, Keavy picked up her book of poetry and walked on what used to be the lake and for the first time in over one-hundred years the lake was being watered, not from rain, but from the tears of a small broken-hearted sixteen-year-old girl.

Oh and thanks to all my reviwers, I don't have time to name them all, but thanks a lot!
