A thirteen-year-old Random was standing in the middle of the living room looking sad as a tall guy with suitcases was coming out of the green room. There were three rooms in all, her parents had a light blue room, she and her sister had the light purple room and her older and younger brother had the green room.
"Aw, why do you have to go? I'm gonna miss ya." Random said trying to sound ten and succeeding
"Don't worry, I will come and visit you as often as possible and I will bring you gifts. Stuffed animals, books, and hats. Your three most favorite things to collect." Her older brother said bending down to kiss her in the cheek. Random hugged him back as hard as she could.
"Bye." Random said sadly.
"Bye." He answered and walked out the door. He didn't disappoint Random when he came back three weeks later with a stuffed animal and stayed for a week then left again to come back another three weeks later with a book. This happened for the next year until she came to Camp Green Lake. He had 2 weeks before coming that he had bought her a raccoon hat and then as if sensing her frown he told her not to worry cause it wasn't a real raccoon. After that Random relaxed, she was against the killing of animals. One week after that call, she had been falsely accused.
Random woke with a start. She looked at her watch that was flashing 1:00am and sighed. She clapped her hands over her nose to try and stop the crying as she always did but it never worked for long.
Random's POV
"I won't be able to go back to sleep for a while so might as well get ready." I said bitterly and changed quickly then heading outside to stare at the stars. It was way to early to go ask for breakfast I knew that for certain.
Later that Afternoon
I walked into the Rec room and blinked. All the boys there were all staring at the same things. I made my way toward the group and pushed my way through to see what was going on. Once I got next to Squid and Zigzag, I gasped in shock then smiled. In front of me was a tall man with a small beard, he was at least three heads taller than I was and I reached a little under his chest. On his head was a raccoon hat.
I ran toward him and hugged him tightly. He laughed, hugged me back and put the raccoon hat on my head.
"What are you doing here?" I asked giving him a glare. Though the fact that he was taller than me ruined the glare.
"I was just in the neighborhood and-"He said but I interrupted.
"What neighborhood? We are in the middle of a desert!" I said throwing my hands in the air.
"Who is this Random?" Zigzag asked confused.
"Random?" The tall person asked.
"That's my nickname here." I said cheerfully.
"It suits you, I guess." He said.
"Why did you give me a raccoon hat?" I asked. Notice how I ignore the previous question from Zigzag and have yet to say the strangers name. Have you readers figured out who he is yet?
"That's odd. I could have sworn that I told you that I bought you one." He said scratching his cheek.
"Ha-ha. I mean why did you come all the way over here in the middle of a desert just to give it to me?" I said rolling my eyes.
"I haven't seen you in over a month! What other excuse do I need to visit my youngest sister?" He asked.
"Youngest s-sister!" Zigzag and Squid said absolutely shocked.
"Yes, youngest sister. I'm the third oldest in my family two boys and two girls I am the youngest from the girls." I said and I got the feeling that none present will want to mess with me after today. My brother wasn't the least intimidating person in the world. Actually he could intimidate anybody if he wanted to, actually even if he didn't want to he still did.
"I brought you some hats for your collection that I am positive you brought here." He said taking out of his pocket a cowboy's hat, an orange hat with cat ears on it. A blue one with a picture of a fox (I love foxes), a bandana with a skull in it, another bandana only with pictures of fire (I love fire too).
"You really don't hesitate when you buy me stuff do you?" I said as I carried all the hats.
"It's for your collection. That and some can be useful while you're digging. Anyway, I have to go. I need to go to New York and that is very far away from here so. See you when I can." He said kissing me in the cheek and I kissed him back. I hugged him around the neck so that when he straightened up my feet were dangling 2 inches from the ground.
"Leslie…. Let go." He said and I let go landing gently on the ground.
"Bye bye! If you don't visit then at least send letters!" I said.
"Will do." He said and walked toward his redpickup truck and drove away.
"Where am I going to keep all these hats? I don't think they will all fit in my bag…" I said once he was out of sight.
"Your brother is scary looking." Armpit said. All of D-tent had gotten a glimpse of him before he left.
"You think? He doesn't look scary to me… But that could just be cause I have known him my entire life." I said as I headed back to the cabin not realizing how silly I looked wearing a raccoon hat and carrying so many other hats in my hands. Can you picture it? A 5'1 14-year-old girl covered in hats walking around in the desert? A well it doesn't matter. I put all the hats under the bed leaving the raccoon hat on my head since I completely forgot about it. I went back to the Rec room and noticed that all the boys from the other tents were keeping away from me.
"Did my brother really intimidate them that much?" I asked Zero who nodded.
"Does that mean they won't even try and touch me again?" I said not realizing what I said.
"Yes, wait. What do you mean 'again'?" Armpit asked staring at me.
"Ah. Oh look! A DISTRACTION!" I shouted and couldn't believe it when everybody turned to find the 'distraction'. Of course I took it to my advantage to go to the one place they wouldn't follow me cause they were gentlemen. The showers. Of course a guy from another tent might go instead and D-tent could just be waiting outside until I come out…. I cornered myself like people who try to escape the cops by going to the roof of a high building. I am such a hypocrite, I am always telling myself how stupid they are cause they just corner themselves and here I am doing the same thing only I'm not on a roof and it isn't cops chasing me………. I blame the outer space chickens for my stupidity today. Ha! I bet you thought I forgot about them.
You didn't think I forgot? Oh, well then never mind! So I stayed for 5 minutes then realized there was a window that I could fit through in the back. I opened the window slowly and jumped out, closed the window again and quietly went back to D-tent where I went to sleep. Although I knew, I couldn't avoid them forever.
Fk306: There we go and you have now had the pleasure of meeting Leslie's older brother who she never said the name of.
Bucky: He sounds interesting.
Hopper: Anyway on to reviews!
Fk306: Lady Keshanna of the night me too, I hate it when I am sick. Normally I get sick during Hurricane season but for some reason I never get sick during any other season.
Bucky: Lauraisace Thanks for saying Hi. We are glad that that single word managed to have the effect we hoped for.
Fk306: LeMoNsOuR I made Random be sick for as long as I normally am and I also made so she acted like me also cause once I get better I normally run to my back yard and climb the first tree that I see which isn't hard cause I only have one tree. . ; That's a good idea that way your mom will never know that you have a guinea pig named Satan and Angel. I once had a hamster with multiple names. Tweety, Eddie, Yuki, etc. etc. I got the Mom idea from my friends at school who I have mentioned in my story. FYI Gabs isn't as mean as I make her in the story but out of all my friends I keep getting the impression that she would do something mean cause we are always arguing about her doing her work, she keeps thinking I am being mean to her but I just want her to pass the 9th grade. I made a promise to my teacher that I would get her to do my work and since I keep telling her to do her work everyone started to call me Mom cause they thought it suited me.
Hopper: SpotlessLadybug I think Fk306 heard that somewhere before but I guess she wasn't paying attention. To tell you the truth she just put a random temperature that came to her head. She feels that if Random can push a side the fact that she was almost raped then she would have enough spirit in her to bounce back from a fever like that.
Everybody: Please R and R.
