"Hey," Friction said, walking into the tent the next day after all the
girls were finished digging.
"Friction!" Lei cried, she was halfway through pulling her smelly shirt up over her head.
"What? I've seen all of you in your underwear before-we're all girls here," Friction replied, looking confused.
"Yeah," Lei replied. "But when you open that tent flap while I'm changing a boy could see me!"
"Yeah, but no boy did see you," Friction said.
"Still," Lei pulled her clean shirt over her head.
"Wanna go down to the Wreck room again?" Zippy asked, standing up on her cot. "I bet Squid will be there," she added to Chase.
"And why are you telling me this?" Chase asked.
"Oh please-you can't hide it!" Static said, laughing.
"Hide what?" Chase demanded.
"We saw you with him yesterday," Magnetic said, sitting down on her cot and pulling her clean socks on.
"You two couldn't keep your eyes off each other while you were playing pool!"
"Wait, I'm confused," Friction said. "Are you actually telling me Chase likes a guy?"
"I do not like any guy!" Chase cried. "I was NOT staring at Squid yesterday, and the ONLY reason why I even played pool with him was because YOU guys made me!"
"Wait, is Squid that guy who usually wears the du-rag?" Friction asked. The other girls nodded. "Ooh, he's cute! I wouldn't mind dating him myself Chase."
Chase glared at everyone. "I AM NOT DATING ANYONE!" she cried.
"Well come to the Wreck Room anyway," Zippy said, jumping down from her cot. "It'll be fun-and plus, if you don't come, you'll be stuck here with Rogue."
Rogue, who was lying on her cot again shot Zippy a menacing glance.
"But this time I'm bringin' my CDs," Magnetic said, grabbing her CD case out of her bag in the crate.
When the girls walked into the Wreck Room it was pretty much the same scene as yesterday, only today there were more girls standing about.
The rock music blared throughout the room, making Magnetic flinch, and the sound of the broken TV set only added to the annoyance. But Magnetic pulled a CD out of the case, walked up to the radio, turned the loud racket off (making a lot of the boys complain and call her a bitch), and placed her CD in it. Immediately Christina Aguilera's voice arose above all the noise and Magnetic started dancing.
"Wanna get dirty," Magnetic sang along. None of the boys seemed very thrilled to be listening to Christina Aguilera and most of them still complained. But Magnetic didn't listen; she continued to move her hips in a very hypnotic way, making some of the boys watch her.
Then Lei, not being able to resist a chance to dance, joined Magnetic by the radio. But Lei's body moved more smoothly then Magnetic's as it was in Hawaiian blood.
Soon Armpit seemed to be caught in a trance, staring at Lei with half open eyelids. But all of a sudden the music as did the dancing.
"What the hell!" Magnetic cried. Magnet had turned the music off.
"Don't turn this shit back on," he said, thrusting the CD at Magnetic.
"I can do whatever I want!" Magnetic said, placing the disk back into the boom box.
But Magnet just pulled it back out again.
"Hey man," Squid said, coming up to Magnet and trying to pull him away from Magnetic. But Magnet stayed where he was.
"No man," he said to Squid. "I'm sick and tired of this bitch doing whatever she wants! This isn't her camp!"
"What!" Magnetic cried. "Called me a bitch again and you won't wake up tomorrow!"
"Oh yeah?" Magnet said with a laugh. "And what are you gonna do? Eh? Bore me to death with your stupid bragging?"
Magnetic flung herself at Magnet. Lei and Static had tried to grab her and pull her away from him but they had just missed her arms.
"You're the fucking bastard who came up to me in the shower you jerk!" she said, trying to hurt him as best she could. "You're the one who's been a perverted jerk ever since I got here!"
"Magnetic!" Fidget cried, grabbing Magnetic's flailing arm. But Magnetic was too strong for Fidget, who soon found herself sitting on her backside.
Magnet tried to push Magnetic off of him, but she was using all her weight to pin him down. A big crowd had now formed around the fight, a lot of the boys laughing and cheering them on and a lot of the girls looking worried and trying to pull Magnetic back. Magnetic punched Magnet in the arm but abruptly stopped when she heard a loud breaking sound. The Christina Aguilera CD, that had still been in Magnet's grasp, was now broken in three places-smashed all because she had put to much weight on his arm.
Both of them stared at the shiny pieces of the disk for a few minutes. But then Magnetic, being REALLY pissed off, started whacking Magnet.
"I loved that CD and you broke it!" she screamed hitting him again and again. Magnet did his best to fend off her blows, but she was lying on top of one of his arms, and it was hard to fight with the other. "I'm gonna kill you!" Magnetic screamed. But she never did kill Magnet as she was suddenly lifted up off of him.
Rogue was holding Magnetic around the waist, squeezing her tightly.
"Let go!" Magnetic cried as she flailed her arms and swung her legs, trying to get back at Magnet.
"What the fucking hell is going on here?" Rogue demanded, still grasping Magnetic.
Magnet was helped to his feet by Squid, he wiped a trickle of blood from his lower lip.
"Nothin'," Xray reassured her, but she wasn't stupid.
"Don't look like nothin'," Rogue said.
"Let go of me!" Magnetic cried. "He broke my CD!"
"Your killin' him 'cause he broke your CD?" Rogue asked in a rude tone, she tightened her grip around Magnetic's waist.
"He called me a bitch, he snuck up on me in the shower, he's a god damn jerk-what more do you need to know!" Magnetic yelled.
"Calm down!" Rogue shouted, still squeezing Magnetic tighter.
It took a while, but finally Magnetic's arms and legs stopped flailing. Her breath became calmer and her face turned from bright pink back to it's normal olive tone. Rogue lessened her grip and then let go completely.
Magnetic glared at Magnet for a few minutes before storming past the crowd, out the Wreck Room, Lei, Fidget, and Zippy chasing after her. Static made sure Magnet was okay, before she too left the room.
Rogue glared around at everyone watching her, Xray seemed speechless. "Show's over everyone!" Rogue snapped, and the crowd began to descend and lessen.
Before Rogue left she turned and raised her left eyebrow at Xray who was gaping at her. Then she turned walked quickly out of the Wreck Room.
Chase was left standing there, thinking about what had just happened. She wondered if Magnetic hated Camp Greenlake just as much as she and Rogue did- were they all the outsiders? The other girls had found future boyfriends that they couldn't stop giggling over, but she, Magnetic, and Rogue hadn't found anyone, they were alone here at Camp Greenlake. Chase wondered how long all three of them would last at this camp.
She wanted to leave.
"Friction!" Lei cried, she was halfway through pulling her smelly shirt up over her head.
"What? I've seen all of you in your underwear before-we're all girls here," Friction replied, looking confused.
