Thankies to reviewers
JediPirateElfyDude: Sarcasmo? Okay I'm glad somebody appreciates sarcasm as much as I do.
ngihtmere: Please don't kill me! Okay I'll write longer chapters (Hopefully). I'm updating this story as soon as I write the chapters.
mcmeghan92: Thanks :)
"Rex, before you go back to the tent, I have to assign Megan here a mentor." Pendanski said over-cheerfully.
"All right. Who's her mentor?"
"Alan. Please show her around camp and be nice."
Oh great. Unacknowledgeing toothpick boy. Wonderful. He pushed past me and said "Come on. I'm showin' you around." How pleasant of him.
"What is your problem?" I asked him.
"Don't you remember who I am?" I felt really bad. Obviously he knew me, but I had no idea who he was.
"Sorry, but I don't."
"Megan, did you go to middle school in Dallas?" (A/N: Okay I know a lot of people say Squid is from Queens, NY because Jake M. Smith is from there. But come on, why would they send you across the country?)
"Yeah. Why?"
"Did you go to Seagoville?" (A/N: I'm pretty sure that's a real middle school.)
"Why?"
"Because YOU always made fun of me with your little friends because I didn't have nice clothes, or money, and because my dad left and my mom hated me."
"Oh my God! I am so sorry!" I really actually felt bad. Very bad. As you know, I am very in touch with my feelings. I felt like giving him a huge hug and begging him to forgive me. I usually want people to like me. Unless they are gender-confused. Like Mr. Sir. I don't remember why I made fun of him exactly, but that was a couple years ago. Guess what I did? Come on, guess. If you guessed, Oh! She's gonna give him a huge hug and beg for his forgiveness, you are…………………..
Exactly right. That's kinda sad, how my actions can be predicted like that.
Anyway. I gave him a hug, which felt weird, and asked him to try to forget about it. I knew he wouldn't. But everything is worth a try.
An amazingly bewildered look came on his face and he pushed me off. Gee, who could have seen that coming?
"What was that?" he asked, still with the amazingly bewildered look on his face.
"A hug," I said very slowly. Had he never gotten hugged before? Oh. I remembered what he said about his parents. Maybe not.
"Yeah I know, but why?"
"'Cause I want you to be my friend, pal, amigo, etc, etc."
"Oh. But you still made fun of me."
"Squid, that was years ago. I really didn't mean it."
"So why'd you make fun of me?"
"I dunno." That was my wonderfully amazing insufficient answer.
"Hmmm. Okay then. I'm still supposed to show you around."
"Oh yeah." We had been standing there that entire time. "What do you guys do for fun around here?"
"Come on. I'll show you. Let's go to the Wreck Room."
"Rec like Recreational or Wreck like humongous mess?"
"The second one. Maybe some of D Tent will be in there."
"Alrighty then Captain Squid! Mop the deck, Captain!" Hehe. I told a captain to mop the deck. (dies of laughing)
"What?"
"Nothing. Off to the wreck room we go! Let's skip!" I skipped off toward where I thought the Wreck Room was. I was wrong. And Squid pointed that out.
"Hey! You're going the wrong way!" He ran up to me and steered me around to the complete opposite direction of where I was headed. So much for my amazing non-existent directional skills.
We went into the wreck room. Surprise, surprise.
"D TENT! Get over here! We got a new camper!" As if he needed to bring more attention over my way. Most people were staring at me anyway. How long has it been since they've seen a girl?
"Take a picture, it might last longer!" I said over-cheerfully. Oh, God. I'm starting to sound like Pendanski.
"D TENT! Get over here and meet her! Everybody else, go back to the usual bullying and such."
Three people came running over. I remembered X-Ray and Armpit went back to the tent.
"Hi, I'm Magnet," a Hispanic boy introduced himself.
A really insanely tall guy with the insanest hair you've ever seen in your life just stared at me.
"That's Zigzag. He's a little paranoid." Magnet said. I think Magnet's name should be Magneto. No idea why. That's just the way it should be.
"A little? Understatement of the year." Some kid said. He was introduced to me as Caveman.
Zigzag left and walked over to a TV.
"Where's Zero?" Squid asked.
"Oh, he went back to the tent." Caveman responded. Just then X-Ray and Armpit walked in.
"I'm playing pool. Who else is going to?" X-Ray asked. Everybody said they were going to, but some not as enthusiastically as others.
"Chica, you gonna play?" Magnet asked hopefully.
"Sure. I haven't played pool before, though." Hehe. I am very good at pool.
"Okay. The teams are me, Squid, and Armpit against Megan, Magnet, and Caveman." Again, X-Ray with the orders.
(A/N: I know absolutely nothing about pool and I suck at it. Let's just say that Magnet and Caveman suck and so does Armpit, but it doesn't matter because X-Ray and Squid are really good. Megan's team lost.)
"Chica, I thought you said you didn't know how to play pool. You were good!" Magnet said.
"Yeah, well, I just remembered. I lied."
"It isn't nice for girls to lie." Squid remarked. Yes, remarked. Such a fun word.
"Yeah, well it isn't nice for, uh, roosters to burp." With that, I walked away and saw Zigzag watching TV. Or trying to watch TV. Or maybe he's delusional and thinks the TV works. It's obviously not working. There's just static. Oh well. He had a blank look on his face, so I waved my hand in front of it a couple times.
"Hey Zigzag, whatcha watching?" Mr. Paranoia jumped about three feet in the air. I guess I shouldn't talk to him anymore. But I will anyway. So long, better judgment.
"Oh, um, sorry I didn't see you there." Wow. Obliviousness.
"What are you watching? I repeated.
"Uh, well, it's still early in the day, so only little kid shows are on."
"Okay then."
SQUID'S POVThat has to be the most randomest thing to ever happen. God. I thought she hated me. Now she wants to be my "friend, pal, amigo, etc, etc." I didn't know she spoke Spanish. Whatever. I wasn't ready for that. Why did she hug me? Hmm. Maybe she felt sorry for me. I hope not. I hate people being sorry for me. If she wanted to be my friend she could have said so. Instead of showing it like that. In the Wreck room, she said she never played pool before, but was good. I told her it wasn't nice to lie, and she said it wasn't nice for roosters to burp, then left. Leaving all of us completely and utterly befuddled.
A/N: Okay. Chapter 4's done. Yay!
