"Any sign of them?" the Warden asked, walking up to Mr. Sir.
It was another hot humid day at Camp Greenlake. All the juvenile deliquents were digging their holes and all the councelors were positioned at different spots around the lake, watching for D tent.
"Nope," Mr. Sir replied. "They're all dead by now I bet."
"No they aren't," the Warden snapped, but her voice wavered as she didn't doubt it. She had been dreading their deaths now for days as she couldn't bare to think about what would happen to her when all of their parents found out and pressed charges. "Keep looking!" she said sharply to Mr. Sir before getting back into her car and driving off into the haze.
All of B tent was stationed near Mr. Sir's post and all of them had heard the anxiousness in the Warden's voice.
"Do you really think Chase and all those guys are dead?" Olivia asked her friends as she dug her shovel deeper into the dirt.
"I hope not, that would be really sad," Olivia's friend Target said. "They were all really nice!"
"All of them but Magnetic!" Olivia's other friend Gum said.
"Why are you guys cryin' about stupid D tent?" the Lump snapped. "Who cares if they're dead!"
"Yeah, I mean they were luckier than us cause they got to leave camp before they died," one of the Lump's goons said.
"Shut up!" the Lump said.
"Besides, that Squid guy was kinda hot," Olivia said to her friends, not knowing the Lump had heard.
"What'd you say?" The Lump asked, climbing out of his hole and walking over to Olivia.
Everyday that Olivia had been at Camp Green Lake she had been pushed around by the Lump, but now she climbed out of her hole and faced him.
"I said Squid was hot," she said bravly. "I mean, he is WAY hotter than you are. Why, you gotta problem with that?"
Target and Gum looked worried.
"Yeah, actually I do," the Lump replied, advancing on Olivia.
"Well that's tough!" Olivia said.
No one had expected what happened next, and when The Lump fell to the ground everyone in B tent gasped with surprise. Olivia had taken a stand and had whacked The Lump across the face with her shovel. He now lay in a heap on the ground before her.
"What the hell is goin' on here?!" Mr. Sir demanded, marching over to B tent.
Gum hurried out of her hole to greet him. "It's not Olive's fault," she said quickly (Olive was Olivia's nickname). "See Thlump here was gonna hurt Olive and she was just defending herself."
"Yeah Mr. Sir," Target said climbing out of her hole and joining Gum. "And you know as well as I do that self defence IS NOT a crime."
Mr. Sir considered this for a moment. "Is he unconscience?" he asked, referring to The Lump.
One of The Lump's friends nodded.
"Okay, you guys wake him up in about an hour or so if he hasn't already woken up himself." Mr. Sir was about to retreat back to his post when he was stopped by Gum.
"What'll that do?" she asked.
"He'll have to dig a lot longer than everyone else," Mr. Sir replied.
"So it's all set," Lei said. "We're leaving in three days, and we're going east."
"Yup," Static said. Her left eye and her cheekbone were completely swollen and dark purple and she sat resting her head against ZigZag's shouldler. Ever since she had been stung everyone had been more careful about where to lye down or step.
"It would be so much easier if we could just stay here," Armpit said.
"And live on onions and muddy water for the rest of our lives? No thanks!" Magnet cried.
"Damn Pit, you upset the Queen Bee," Magnet said sarcastically. "We couldn't possibly force Magnetic to stay here with muddy water! That would be terrible!"
Magnetic kicked some water at him.
"Bitch," Magnet whispered, wipping the muddy water from him eyes.
Chase raised her eyebrows at Zippy who was sitting beside her on a big rock.
"Oh brother!" Zippy cried.
"They can't keep their eyes off each other!" Chase laughed.
"And he can't take his eyes off of you," Zippy replied.
It took Chase a moment to find out who Zippy was talking about. No surprise. Squid was sitting beside Xray on the opposite side of the pool. As he talked to Xray he continueously glanced up at Chase. Sometimes when Squid caught Chase's eye he would just stare at her for what seemed like forever until Chase looked down, but usually when Squid caught Chase's eye he quickly looked down embarrassedly. To Chase's utter disgust she found herself wanting to catch Squid's eye after a while, and she found herself staring at him for a long time, just waiting for him to look up. She was even more embarrassed when Zippy pointed this out.
"Hmmm........Looks to me like you can't keep your eyes off him either," Zippy said.
"No!" Chase said a little too quickly. "I'm just..........just messin' with him again."
But Zippy wasn't swayed and she sat there watching Chase with a big triumphant grin across her face.
"Shouldn't you be off making out with Zero?" Chase asked.
"Ooh! Good idea!" Zippy said jumping to her feet and leaving Chase alone on the rock.
Chase looked back at Squid one more time and surprised herself when she saw he looked completely different from the last time Chase had looked his way. Instead of looking like the stupid, annoying, jerk Chase was used to seeing Squid now looked sweet, appetizing, and................gorgeous?
"URGH!" Chase cried before jumping to her feet and begining to climb higher up the mountain.
