Gina held her head in her hands, trying to figure out what to do with herself. Mr. Sir had run out on her again after she bled her obsessive heart all over him, which, in Gina's world, was telling him that she was completely and utterly in love with him and had already started planning their wedding. She just could not figure out why he had run off. She thought that she had been subtle in her future plans for the two. She did not say a word about the house she had made an offer on with its nursery or the baby stuff she had bought on Ebay or the names she had picked for their future children. That would have chased the man away! Gina just could not figure out how to win Mr. Sir.
She had done everything. She made him a cake, though it was slightly less than perfect because she did not add any sugar. She had painted a picture of him with some beautiful red paint, though the paint was so dark it almost looked like blood and the long, foreboding drip marks did not help either. She gave him candy, she wrote him poems, she sent him roses, but he would not accept her! She had done everything! What else is there to do?
She stood up and looked at herself in the mirror she had also bought on Ebay. She could not lie to Mr. Sir anymore. He had to know the truth. She was no Ms. Gene. Her hair was not a wig. She did not even like children, but she had made him believe those things. It was her infidelity to truth that chased Mr. Sir away, not her scary ways of trying to win him. She had to make a confession, but only after she had dealt with those pesky interns. Her job was already guaranteed lost. Her boss kept sending her letters that said that he did not know who she was. That was saddening, a little. She had dated the man. How could he not remember her? She hurt him too badly, she assumed; broke his heart into too tiny of pieces. Of course, she did not care. She had no loyalty to the man anymore- only loyalty to the lovely Mr. Sir.
That was when it came to her as she stared into the mirror. She had to thwart the plan of her interns! She could no longer allow the place where she had fallen in love with Mr. Sir be torn down. Where would he could he go? He would never feel the same about Gina if he knew that she was the one who closed the camp! Gina could not even think of what might happen if he found out about the plan. She would surely die if Mr. Sir hated her! She would kill herself! Or at least, she would kill that foul intern…. That one was more annoying than the rest.
That was it! Kill the interns! If they were all dead, then maybe Mr. Sir would see her commitment to him! Killing them to save the camp! It was brilliant! But how? How to get rid of them? They had persisted in dying of heat stroke or being killed in some fight, though that gay boy did almost become a homicide statistic. They had to be doing something that would jeopardize the camp… but what?
Gina looked around the room for some kind of indication of what she should do next. She just could not think of anything. Hey, a newspaper. When did she get a newspaper? Newspapers are boring. She looked closer at the headline. "Suicide bombing." Suicide bombing. What was that? A BOMB! That was it! Make them build a bomb, then shoot them when she 'found' it! Or she could just have the bomb explode them into tiny little pieces… that might work. Yes! She would build a bomb! Or the interns would! And then she would have Mr. Sir and her son, Rodrigo Star. Yes. It was a plan.
"So, like, um… Squid," Adrienne said out of nowhere as she, Juliana and Alice laid on their cots staring at the ceiling of the tent.
"Eh?" Juliana asked.
"Um… I… Squid is… um…. Cecil… and uh… Squid…."
"I want some calamari," Alice grumbled.
"Cecil is going to Harvard. He found an apartment already," Adrienne whimpered. "My Cecil."
"What is so bad about him going to Harvard? I mean, you could get into Harvard. Why don't you just go there with him?" Juliana asked, feeling very smart at that moment.
Adrienne shot up, "Jules! I cannot go to Harvard! Are you crazy? I am a Yale girl all the way! I have wanted Yale since I was one! I could not even walk, and I knew I wanted to go to Yale! Cecil is going to Harvard! It is against all of my sensibilities! All of his sensibilities! I cannot be with someone who goes to Harvard! Princeton maybe, Brown definitely not, but never Harvard! NEVER!"
"Weren't we talking about Squid?" Alice asked, recalling her want for calamari.
"Yes," Adrienne sank down again, sounding sad once more. "I do not know what to do. Squid made me an ultimatum this morning. He found out about Cecil. Was not happy about it either. I just… I cannot be with Cecil if he is going to Harvard, but I would be out of my mind if I went with Squid. It was okay in the beginning, but… I cannot be with a juvenile delinquent!"
"Or a Brown student," Juliana yawned.
"Definitely not! I do not know what to do!"
"I don't know."
The girls were silent for a long time and stared at the top of their tent like something new might happen. Adrienne was confused about Cecil and Squid, Juliana was scared of Magnet, and Alice was hungry for calamari. And none of them could be appeased easily.
Magnet burst into the tent just then, but this time none of the girls jumped in surprise. They had somewhat gotten used to it.
"Hello, Magnet," Alice and Adrienne said together in monotone.
"I need to speak with Juliana," he said decisively.
"Well, go on and speak then," Adrienne said, turning over.
Before Magnet could speak though, X-Ray burst in. Again, the girls paid no notice.
"Hello, X-Ray," Adrienne and Juliana said in monotone.
"Captain, I have something to say to you!" X-Ray said, very loudly.
"Well, go on and say it then," Adrienne rolled to the other side, "but after Magnet, because he came in first."
But before Magnet could say something, and thus before X-Ray could say anything, Squid burst in. Again, no kind of reaction from the girls whatsoever.
"Hello, Squid," Juliana and Alice were monotone.
"Adrienne, I…" Squid started.
"Before you start, you have to wait for Magnet to speak with Juliana, X-Ray to say what he has to say to Captain and uh… oh that's it. Then you can talk," Adrienne said. "Okay, go."
"Juliana, you have bewitched me body and soul, and I love, love, love you," Magnet said lovesickly.
X-Ray swallowed hard, "Captain, I have come to the revelation that I like you very much and um… well, I actually love you and uh… I don't know what revelation means, but that is what Tai told me to say and um… yeah… it was supposed to sound better than that. Um… whatever Magnet said, that's what I meant. He stole it from me."
"Ade, I'm going to kill Cecil," Squid said decisively.
"Oh, Squid, don't do that! Then he cannot go to Harvard!" Adrienne said, laying her face on her cot.
"Okay, Magnet, I get it. You love me. Stop being creepy about it," Juliana frowned. "That was cute though, yet vaguely familiar."
"What?" Alice's mouth was agape, and she looked horrified.
Just then, Trixie burst in, drawing a response from the girls.
"Holy crap, Trixie! What the heck are you…" Adrienne started.
"I think I love Greg. It's weird and it's really weird- it's weird! I mean, I don't love my cat. Do I have a cat? Or do I have a dog….? What ever I have, I don't love it! How can I love Greg? And not Armpit! This is weird!" Trixie proclaimed in deep thought. Then she noticed the guys. "Hey guys, how's it going?"
They all shrugged. Alice stood up, looking mortified.
"I have to go!" she yelped, heading fast toward the door.
"Wait, Captain!" X-Ray yelped after her.
As the two ran out, there came a string of cursing from the outside and Alice and X-Ray came back in.
"Hide!" Alice whispered.
But it was too late. Gina burst in as well.
"I wish for you to build a bomb, understand?" Gina said very loudly, then noticed the guys. "Shouldn't you all be in your tent? Go away! I said GO!"
With that, the boys left, and Gina stood, happy with herself.
"I have plans and everything. Here they are. Build the bomb. The end."
Gina rushed out of the tent, planning her life with Mr. Sir. Adrienne, Juliana, and Alice just looked at each other.
"What the fuck?" Trixie cocked her head to the side like a confused dog or John Travolta in Face/Off.
"What the fuck indeed," Juliana said as Alice plopped down on her cot.
All right. So… I haven't posted in a while. Believe me, I have been majorly busy. My school just opened its musical, and I was assistant stage manager and also calling the show, so I had no time! It sucked! But now it's over so I have no excuse. Yeah… so… thanks… um… okay, thank you to loudmouth1014 (heh, complete sentences suck. Epiphany. Sudden realization. Cool word. Will try to update. Probably won't), Nosilla (I like having someone say "Dear lord" in that context. It makes me laugh… heh, I laugh at my own jokes… heh), demon-pup666 (Awesome! Virtual Cookie! Yay! Wait… I didn't update in a timely manner. Oh well! Promises of gifts are awesome!), loudgirlkate (Woot! Love is good! Well, Trixie is nuts and Greg is a tad pathetic so I think that is why they aren't speaking. They may still hook up though. There should be a vote! Who should Trixie be with? Greg or Armpit? Interesting proposition!), and Fangirl (Methinks you art correct.) Anyway, so, I don't know how to end this thing. Give me some possibilities and maybe I'll use it. You never know. A writer always needs feedback. I will try to update, but don't bank on it. I am a tad bit lazy and hit writer's blocks… okay, I'm done.
