I groan and slowly get up. I saw Squid with a smirk on his face and my cot in his hands. How could he lift that up? Probably lighter than it looks.
He was already dressed with the cap on his head, the towel wrapped around it, and the damn toothpick in his mouth.
"Ugh, what the hell, Squid?"
He lets go of my cot. "You're late, Babygirl. Look," he points around the tent,"everyone is already gone."
"Well, if everyone is already gone, why didn't you go with-"
He cuts me off short. "Hey, just hurry up alright!" He turns around but doesn't start walking like he always does.
He stayed for me, didn't he? Heh, he's nice...at times.
I make my cot, making it look neat. Hmmm, I wonder...
I grabbed the end of the cot, where Squid grabbed it. I tried lifting it up but it was impossible. It made a few squeaky noises but it was really heavy. Sonofa-...Geez, this weighs a ton!
"What the hell are you doing? You stupid or somethin'?" Squid walked next to me.
I tried lifting it up again but I gave up. I let go. I bent down, put my hands on my knees, and start panting.
"How...how...can you...lift that..? It...weighs...a ton!"
He scoffs. "You're just puny. What do you weigh, 80 pounds?"
I steady my breathing. I stand right in front of him and put my hands on my hips. "I'm not puny, I'm 107 pounds!"
"Whatever, I don't care. Just hurry it up." He folds his arms and starts walking out of the tent. I see him stop when he was right outside.
At least I get a bit of privacy. Honestly, he could be impossible!
I keep the sleeves of my jumpsuit folded at my waist. I straighten out my black tank-top and I put my boots on. I grab a hair tie and make a ponytail. I brushed my bangs to the side, which made it frame my face, and put on my red cap. I walk outside and next to Squid.
"Took you long enough." He starts walking. He's gotta stop doin' that.
"Pssh, that probably took 5 minutes tops!"
"More like 10." He sighs. "Man, if we get in trouble with the warden, it'll be on you."
I roll my eyes. I then realized that it was way too early. "What the heck, Squid! The sun's not even out yet!" The sky is a dark blue color, the kind of color you see when it's 4:00 in the morning. What the shit!
"Hey, what did I say about complainin'?!" He barks at me. I shrink behind him.
We walk toward the shack labeled 'Library'. I was excited but then I remembered what Squid told me. It's not an actual library. It's where they keep the shovels.
Squid opens it and grabs a shovel. I walked up and grabbed one too. I aligned it with my height. Of course, I'm taller. The shovel is 5 feet and I'm 5'6''.
"Hey! I don't mind leaving you behind!" Squid shouts over his shoulder.
"I'm coming! Jeez!" I run up behind him.
We start walking for a while, no talking for at least 10 minutes. I see the other campers up ahead digging and a truck with a giant water tanks on the back.
"Because of you, we both missed breakfast." I was surprised at the sudden start of a conversation.
I look down. "I'm sorry but I'm not used to wakin' up at 4:00am."
I heard him mumble. "...this is gonna be a lot of work...watching over a kid. I'm not a babysitter."
I roll my eyes and nudge him. "Hey, you Do know I'm 17, right? I'm no kid."
"Sure as hell don't act like a 17 year-old. More like a 7 year-old."
"Hey!"
He starts chuckling.
Pretty soon, we're right where the other guys from D-tent are at.
X-Ray's head pops up from his hole. "Hey Squid. Sara, how was sleeping in?" The other campers start laughing.
"Pretty decent, actually. Until I got woken up." I glance at Squid.
"Don't you look at me like that. You should be thankin' me. If I hadn't, you would have gotten busted."
"Pssh." Squid walks away to the left.
I go next to X-Ray's hole. "So, where do I start?"
"Wherever you want." I heard him mumble girls are trouble but I decided not to point it out.
I go past the other campers. I find a nice spot next to Magnet. I stick my shovel in the earth but it didn't go very far. Sigh. Damn dirt is solid.
I jump on my shovel and it goes all the way in. I pull it, scoop up dirt, and throw it over my shoulder.
I was going to stick it in the ground again until I decided to look up. Everyone was looking at me dig. I hate the feeling of their stares so I turn around to ignore them.
Two hours passed. The sun was finally in the sky but I instantly regretted wishing for it. It was boiling. Even though it was a dry heat, it still made me sweat like crazy. Then something inside me made me wonder...
I called out to Magnet.
"Yeah Babygirl?"
"Hey, what if I have to use the bathroom?"
I raises his arms and spans the area around us. "Pick a hole, any hole."
You've gotta be kidding me. What the shit.
