Chapter 7 You can't hurt girls man"Looks like little Squiddy has a girlfriend." X-Ray mocked.
"Yeah, so. It's not like it's a crime or anything." Squid said angrily.
"Actually X, he has a point." Said Magnet.
"Ya'll are stupid." X-Ray said grabbing his clean clothes and pushing everyone out of the way to go to the showers.
"What's his problem?" Misty asked.
"He's probably just jealous." Said Zigzag shiftily. "Maybe we're all jealous. Maybe the one who's jealous will throttle us in our sleep and kill us all."
Misty laughed and Squid got up and went to his bed.
A short while later everyone was asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning Misty was woken up by someone outside the tent talking. She got up off her cot and peeked out the door of the tent. X-Ray and Squid were standing there whispering angrily at each other.
"Man, you can't like her." Said X-Ray.
"Why, what business is it of your who I like?"
"What was it that we agreed when we became friends?" Asked X-Ray.
"That if one of us had a problem with a girl the other guy liked that we could stop them from liking each other. But dude, that rule blows. I still don't understand why I can't like her."
"Because, when you like someone it turns you soft. And softies get sent to the end of the line."
"So?"
"Like always turns to love."
Squid was angry now. He didn't know why X didn't like Misty.
"I DON'T LOVE HER! I'LL NEVER LOVE HER! SHE MEANS NOTHING TO ME!" Squid said so loud everyone in D-Tent sat up in their beds.
A tear ran down Misty's cheek. Squid heard her sniffle and turned around.
"Tell me you didn't mean that." She whispered softly.
"Misty, I…" Squid started to say. He sighed and walked off.
X-Ray got a wicked gleam in his eye.
"Looks like he doesn't care about you." He chuckled menacingly.
"I'll go talk to him." Said Magnet leaving the tent.
"What the hell is the matter with you?!" Misty yelled shoving X-Ray back.
"You. Ever since you got here you've gotten special treatment. Getting to use the nice showers, getting a clean suit everyday, getting all the attention. And to tell you the truth, I'm sick of it. I'm sick of you." He snarled grabbing her wrists and grasping tight.
"Ouch, let me go." Misty whimpered.
"Hey!"
X-Ray turned around and threw Misty on the ground.
"What do you want, stupid?" X-Ray asked Zero who was standing behind him.
Then, so quick that Misty couldn't tell how he did it, Zero kicked his leg out and pulled X-Ray's feet out from under him. He fell hard on the ground.
"You can't hurt girls man." Zero said bravely walking around him. "You okay?"
"Yeah," She replied as she got up off the ground.
A few minutes later the morning bell rang and everyone sleepily got out of the tents.
"He doesn't need to be in Camp Greenlake, he needs to be in anger management classes." Said Armpit as he walked by Misty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was hot out. Probably the hottest day since Misty arrived at Camp Greenlake. Then the water truck pulled up by the holes and Mr. Pendanski got out of the truck. Misty didn't even bother getting out of her hole. She just kept digging. When everyone else had their water they went back to their holes.
"Not getting any water today?" Asked Pendanski arrogantly.
"You won't give it to me even if I did go up there." Misty replied.
"The Warden said that I have to give you water. Seems as though one of your little friends told her what happened." He said shooting a menacing glare at Zero.
Misty got out of her hole and grabbed her water bottle. She gave it to Pendanski and he filled it. She went back to her hole and finished digging.
