Yay! Thanks to everyone for the reviews and stuff. :3 Whee! I included tim tams!
And this Seth isn't the same Seth from Fluffy's Movie, by the way.

That night, after his first day of teaching, was a night Legolas would never forget.
'So… what's happened?' asked Jade, hanging over the side of the top bunk, looking down on her friend. 'I wasn't listening.'
'You never listen,' sighed Riley in annoyance. 'Anyway, at ten tonight, we've agreed to have a game of modified capture-the-flag with the boys. We're pink, ew, and they're blue.'
'Have we got a flag?' asked Jade.
'Yeah, I made one this afternoon during free time,' said a voice from another bunk. 'Is everyone here participating?'
Almost everyone answered with a 'yes'.
'Who's in charge of the team?' asked someone else.
'Riley is,' answered the girl who had made the flag. Her voice rang out in the quiet darkness of the dormitory.
'Rations?' asked the girl again, Britney.
'S'mee,' said another girl, who was called Bailey. 'I've got tim tams!'
'Ooh, yum!' said Britney.
Alexa, yet another girl, butted in. 'We need to decide who's going to attack and who's going to defend, and we're we'll put the flag.'
'That's for me to decide!' Riley snapped. 'And we need calls as well. Code.'
Seven girls volunteered to defend. 'And the rest of us,' Riley decided. 'Will attack. If you get tired then hang back to defend, but, aside from that, try to attack. And since this is modified, me and the other captain, Seth-whatshisface, have agreed that when we capture someone we keep them in a certain area, our 'jail', until someone comes and touches them all.'
'Do we just have to tag them to get them captured?' asked Jade.
'No, we have to physically lug them to the 'jail', unless they come willingly,' answered Riley. 'Now, calls. We'll hoot.'
'One hoot means someone's sneaking up behind you,' said Perin, another random girl.
'Two hoots means you're going to be ambushed,' said Jade.
'Three hoots means "Go on",' said Riley.
'Four hoots means "Go back",' said Britney.
'Don't go so fast,' said Bailey. 'I can barely keep up!'
Everyone could here her scribbling in a notebook. Since her bed was in a puddle of moonshine, she had long ago been elected to take notes. 'Lessee, four hoots meant "go back", didn't it?'
'Yup,' said Jade.
'Bailey, after about ten minutes of playing start trying to get rations to everyone. One tim tam each.'
'OK, then I'll hand out biscuits if I run out of tim tams,' answered Bailey.
'Five hoots means that Bailey's got food!' said Jade.
'Don't overdo it,' said Riley. 'Should that be all?'
'Where's the base for the flag going to be?' asked Britney.
'Near the shed behind here,' said Riley. 'And our jail has to be far away from that, because otherwise they'll grab the flag. The jail's next to the toilets.'
'Six hoots if you find the enemy's base!' said Jade enthusiastically.
'We need jail keepers,' said Riley.
'I'll be one,' said Britney.
'Ditto,' said Perin.
'It's ten to ten,' said another girl. 'I'll start work on picking the lock on the doors so we can go out. And look out for teachers!'
'One loooong hoot if you get caught by a teacher!' said Jade.

Ten minutes later, they spilled outside, dressed in track suits. The girls who were defending went to put the flag out, and the others went in pairs to find the enemies' flag, with the exception of Perin and Britney.
Ten minutes from that, Legolas was rudely awakened from sleep by another teacher. 'Everyone's up and about,' the teacher said. 'Pierre, you should help the other teachers get the students.'
'Fine,' he said, starting to speak slightly like a human. 'I shall get changed, then.'
The teacher left the room.
---
'Eep! Um… what was, "I've been captured" again? Ah, screw it.'
'Shut up Jade. You don't need to tell anyone you've been caught, you know.'
'NOOOOOO!'
'Quieten down!' Jade's captor, Jack, looked around to see if anyone on Jade's team had seen or head them.
'What's Jade upset about?' Riley asked another girl, who just shrugged in reply.
'No idea,' she said.
Five hoots echoed through the trees.
'Holy crap!' exclaimed Riley's partner. 'Teachers! Eep!'
'Don't panic,' said Riley. 'We just need to be more stealthy. Keep a lookout, and switch your torch off so the teacher's can't see us.'
---
'Detention!' the teacher barked at the boy. 'Tomorrow at my office! Go back to your dormitory!' He shoved the boy away.
'That was violent towards the boy,' remarked Legolas.
'I noticed, Pierre,' said the other teacher. 'I was the one who did it.'

Sorry for shortness. :(
