Here's the next chap!!
Diana sat next to Caveman, both of them just staring into space.
'He'll be okay.' Diana said, hoping her words would comfort him.
'No, he wont be okay.' He said, shaking his head. 'He won't survive out in the desert. He doesn't have any water or anything.'
Diana placed her hand on his back. 'You don't know.' She tried to think of something. 'Maybe he'll find some kind of water.' She doubted it but said it for him. There must be something I can do.
Caveman felt the same way. 'I gotta do something.' He said, standing up. 'I can't just sit here.'
'What can you do?' Diana looked up at him as he started pacing. 'You can't follow him out there. You don't even know where he is.'
'Maybe your right.' He said. 'Maybe…'
The dinner bell rang.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
All that night, Caveman sat in silence. Diana didn't blame him. His best friend was gone and it was all the boys faults.
'I wonder if he's dead yet.' ZigZag said out loud.
'He must be.' X-Ray commented, looking at the ceiling on the tent. 'You can't live out there without water. Not this long.'
Diana shook her head, amazed that the boys were so careless. They never did like Zero.
'Would you guys stop.' Squid burst into the conversation.
'Why, man?' Armpit asked leaning on his elbow.
'Just stop.' Squid looked at Caveman then at Diana, 'It's bothering some people, okay.'
The boys mumbled. Diana looked at Squid, smiled, and mouthed the words 'thank you'. He nodded his head with a smile.

A few days later, a new boy arrived to take Zero's place in D-tent. His name automatically became Twitch because he was always on edge and twitching.
Caveman was still quiet. Diana could tell he was worried about Zero. She wished there was something she could do.
Then one day, Caveman did the only thing he could think of.
As Mr. Sir filled up the water bottle, Diana noticed Caveman and Twitch disappear around the side of the truck. Diana knew they weren't the best of friends and wondered what was going on.
The truck revved up. Mr. Sir turned around quickly, 'Hey, get out of my truck,' But, it was too late. Caveman pushed the car into drive and took off. Diana could hear him screaming as he drove the truck wildly.
Mr. Sir ran after the truck, trying to stop Caveman. The boys followed in close pursuit. Diana just stood there. Oh boy. She thought, Caveman's finally lost it. She sighed. And walked back to the tent.
Hee hee. There's the part with Caveman and the water truck. I didn't want to rewrite that whole part, so I decided that Diana just wouldn't be there when he crashed it and ran off.
