Disclaimer: I the last chapter I switched point of views so much is because X-RAY recalls the memory better than Leslie does.

I woke up to the sound of a loud horn and complete darkness. I glanced at my glow in the dark watch read 4:30 a.m.
'Oh hell no, I ain't getting for nobody!' I thought and buried my head into the pillow.
"Oh no chica you have to get up we have a long day ahead of us," came a broad Spanish accent from behind me.
I gazed at the person who dare to bother me and it was Magnet looking so fine even for, four in the morning. My mouth twitched and I still glared at him, even though he's cute doesn't give him the right to wake my up.
"What the fuck! How dare you come in here and bother me like this! I mean don't you see me sleeping! What are you stupid simple or slow?" I stood toe to toe with him even though he was inches taller than I was.
"Well if you would stop bitching for two seconds I could tell you that X wanted you outside so you could get a shovel," he said closing in too close for comfort.
I still stool my ground and there was a silence between us, and he turned, and left. I fell back on the bed and sighed. About thirty seconds later, I was out the tent and I saw D tent in eye range. I ran over to them putting my hair into a messy bun, when I got there everyone was beginning to surround this small tool shed called the 'Library'. I walked to the front and grabbed a shovel, but this steroids looking kid from another tent tried to take it. He had dirty blond hair smoothed back and a muscular figure.
"Hey that's mine give it here," he said snatching it and pushing me to the ground.
"No it isn't!" I yelled kicking him in the shin and grabbing the shovel.
He raised his fist preparing to hit me when X-RAY came up from behind him drop kicked him to the ground.
"Listen to me jackass! No body messes with D tent nobody especially some punk ass bitch like you," he said looking at him then coming to me giving me a hand up.
I looked at his hand for a minute then thought 'Even though he is my brother I can't let the others see me as his sister but his equal'. So I got up and brushed pass him.
"What the hell...I don't even get a thank you. Leslie you are one hell of a sister." I can't believe that asshole would say such a thing.
I pull him aside where no one else can hear, "Look Rex it's nice that you want to be my big protector and shit but if you want me to respect you then you have to respect me. To break it down for you if I'm gonna make it here without you up my ass every twenty seconds then you need to step. Get my drift?"
He looked at me in awe with a since of pride and he said, "Sure...I'll stay out of your way but I got my eye on you."
"Whatever floats your bloat," I said grabbing his arm and guiding him to where Mr. Pendanski called for us.
When we got there, everyone started walking to the digging sites and Rex rather pulled a head of me. It seemed like we were walking forever then the journey stopped and the counselors slipped us into our tents and showed us where would be digging.
6 HOURS LATER
It felt like my arms were numb from digging and I was only half done and the sun started to come out.
"Damn it's hot out here?" I said wiping the sweat off my forehead.
"Well get use to it cause your going to be here for a long time," Magnet said taking a drink of water.
"It was a rhetorical statement," I said eyeing him.
"Mine was metaphorical," he said taking another slip.
"There the same thing."
"Right so my metaphorical statement didn't require a response did it," he alleged with a smirk.
Then I made a growling noise and went back to digging. Everything was going great until I broke my nail. I mean broke it straight down the middle and down the back of my hand I screamed.
"What is it?" Rex said hopping out of his hole and into mine.
"What happened," he demanded.
"I-I-I broke my nail!" I wailed like a child.
"Is that all I thought you broke you neck the way you was screaming." he said chuckling with the rest of D tent who had gathered.
"No I mean I broke the whole thing just look," I said showing off my nail to them.
"Damn!" They all said in unison.
It happened to be my middle finger and I decided to flick of Magnet.
I don't think they got it but he did and before he turned to finish his hole he whispered, "anytime...if you can handle this."
I chuckled lightly and tried to finish but the blood was getting everywhere.
"Hey X if I break my nail will you help me," Zigzag said with a hopeful glimmer in his eyes and we all stared at him puzzled and laughed.
The guys soon brushed it off were finishing their holes. I didn't want to bother X he would make a big scene out of it. Then there was magnet he was perfect since our holes were right nest to each other.
"Hey Magnet," I whispered climbing into his hole.
"What," he said looking at me.
"Can I use your...um... bandana...see...um... my finger...um well-."
"Of course," he said taking off his gray banana and handing it to me.
"Thanks," I said taking it but I ended up only making it bleed more.
"Here," he said cradling my hand and rapping the banana around it.
"Thanks again."
"Your welcome...Ice" then all of a sudden he jumped out his hole and called Rex over.
He came over and Magnet announced, "What about Ice."
Rex eyed me and then said, "Okay".
That was it...at first; I didn't understand why everyone called me Ice. Then fourteen minutes later the lunch truck came and it looked like I was done with my hole. I strolled up to Mr. Pendanski and announced that I was done. Everyone looked at me in astonishment and Squid went over to my hole and measured it. He nodded his head and all eyes were on me.
"You beat zero...digging," Armpit stated with his mouth hung open.
Mr. Pendanski glanced at his watched and said, "It's barely quarter to eleven and you're done. Well I guess you can go back to camp when your done eating lunch."
I headed to the back the line, pulled Magnet a side, and apologized for this morning, "Magnet I'm sorry for the way I've been acting...it's just that I'm not the biggest morning person."
He sort of tilted his head to the right and squinted then smiled.
"No problem...kido," he said jokingly and then taking his place in line.
I shook my head and went to go stand behind Zero.
When everyone received their lunch I went to Rex's hole where everyone else was gathered. I sat next to Caveman and began to silently eat my lunch.
"If Mom would have come any slower with our lunches then we would have been dead from starvation," everyone nodded with mouths full but there was something I didn't get.
"Whose 'mom'?" I whispered to Stanley.
"Oh...um do you remember Mr. Pendanski?" I nodded "Well...that's mom, and we call him that because we miss our mothers."
Caveman returned to eating and I glanced at Rex who was laughing with his sandwich griped tightly in his hand then taking a bite. I instantly felt bad for him he barely knew our mother. I felt as if I had robbed him of a relationship with her. Therefore, for the remainder of the time I ate my sandwich in peace then got up and headed back to camp where I could be alone and catch up on some well-deserved sleep.
