"Holy shit!" "What the-?!" "Damn, Squid! That was fast!" "How long has she been here anyways? Three days?" "Oh my god..."

"Be quiet...sleepy..." I mumble in my sleep. I'm clutching my pillow tightly against my chest in my usual fetal position.

"Don't wake up, Babygirl. You're gonna flip if you see this." The boys snicker.

"Ugh..." I slowly sit up, I can only imagine what I look like. my head probably looks like a tangly nest and dark circles under my eyes.

I rub my eyes and stretch. I open them. The guys are wide-eyed and chuckling. Magnet keeps blinking. X-Ray looks stern. Armpit is laughing to himself. Zero has his usual expression on his face but his eyes seem a little wider than usual. And ZigZag is laugh right with Armpit.

"What?" I say bluntly.

They point at the spot next to me. I remember! Squid's...!

But when I turn to look at squid, I don't seen him right beside me. It was then I noticed the cots were pushed together like last night. The cots were separated and Squid was lying on the floor, shirtless. Oh my, he's so built.

I started putting things together. I looked down at myself. My clothes were all messed up and wrinkly, but they were always like that whenever I slept. I move a lot in my sleep. The covers were on the floor with Squid. That plus Squid shirtless and me looking all messed up Probably looks like...oh my god. Oh my god! OH MY GOD!

I look at the guys, panicking. "Guys! I-it's not what you think! I'm s-serious!"

They look at me with unconvinced looks.

"Oh yeah. Yeah. Sure, Babygirl, sure. You DIDNT sleep together, riiiiight." Armpit winks at me while giving me a thumbs-up.

"WE DIDNT! I swear I'm a virgin!" I bury my face in my hands.

Silence followed after.

"...What's with your hands, Babygirl?" magnet asks me.

I recalled what happened yesterday. "oh, I got blisters and they opened up and blood flowed out. I fainted."

They all look seriously worried. "But don't worry! Squid took me to Mom! I'm okay now! Hehehe..." I fake laugh to ease the tension. They don't look convinced.

"What time is it anyway?" I asked X-Ray.

He folds his arms. "It's 3:45am. Almost time for everyone to get up and start digging."

"Then...what are you guys doing up?"

ZigZag spoke up. "I got up to take a piss and I saw your little...thing and I woke everyone else up."

"Oh. Sorry." my face reddens and I apologize.

"You guys missed the food yesterday. My guess is Mom told the warren SOMETHING happened and the warren gave you a punishment. All he told us is that you are on kitchen duty starting tomorrow for three days ." X-Ray sighs and spits a few feet away.

"With LUMP?!"

*groan* "...shut up, I'm tryin' to sleep here!" I heard a loud voice next to me. I looked at the ground. Squid groans, sits up and stretches. I gawked at his muscles, it's like he was flexing. He rubbed his eyes and stood up. He didn't even look at me, he just got up, grabbed his white T-shirt, put it on, and walked out the tent.

The guys and I were in disbelief he just non-chalantly left. It was all silent. X-Ray broke the silence. "So, you mind explaining what happened yesterday, Babygirl?" He looks at me sternly with his arms folded. The others guys all look at me, waiting for an explanation.

I told them everything: how Squid came for me and was taking me back to camp, how I fell and my hands started bleeding, how I began to slip away into sleep, how Squid carried me to Mom and how he carried me back to the d-tent. I told them it was all my fault Squid didn't get to eat and how I plan to make it better.

I hung my head in shame. I heard a smirk. I snapped my head up. "What?" I said, annoyance in my tone.

Magnet spoke up, "oh, nada chica. It's just funny, that's all. It's funny how Squid does a lot for you. He would NEVER do any of that for one of us, huh guys?"

They all give a "yeah" in unison. "Yeah, Magnet's right Squid would never help us THAT much." Zigzag adds

"Squid's the toughest guy in D-tent, Babygirl. You remember how he beat up Lump for you, don't ya?" X-Ray sits on the edge of my bed, looking at me with a serious look.

"...what's your point, Rex?" I say with worry.

"Our point is...," Armpit says with confidence, "that whenever you're in a shitty situation, Squid will help you. I have a feeling he will."

I furrow my eyebrows, borrowing what everyone's been telling me. I then remember something very important.

"Hey, why did the warren give me a punishment anyway?" I ask with my head cocked to the side.

"Well, think about it, Babygirl! You cause a ruckus with Lump on the first day, you've been to Mom twice already, you're making everyone worry about you, and you're causing Squid miss some digging by helping you all the time." ZigZag says in a know-it-all attitude.

"Oh..." I frown in response.

"What I'm more afraid of is Lump, now that you're gonna have to be around him for three days." Magnet says, making us all concerned.

"What?" I hear a voice in the doorway say. Squid's silhouette is in the opening of the tent, face tense.

"Where were you bro?" Armpit says.

"Bathroom. What's this I hear about Babygirl being with Lump for three days?" He says that last part with hatred.

I flung the covers over and stood up. "As punishment, I'm supposed to work in the kitchens for three days starting tomorrow."

He glares at me, furious. Why the hell's he furious at me?!

X-Raypipes in. "No worries bro, Mr. Sir will be there to keep watch with a guard. It's all good."

Squid looks back and forth from X to me. He scoffs. "Worried? I'm not worried? Why should I be worried for a stupid kid?" He says "Kid" with venom in his voice. He coldly turns around and walks out the tent.

"Squid! The fuck!" X-Ray runs after him along with the rest of the guys, except Hector.

I felt a jolt of pain in my heart. It was like my stomach had intense butterflies and my heart jumped into my throat. I collapsed on my bed, shocked.

"Hey." Hector sat down next to me with a hand on my shoulder. He looks at me with concern.

"I'm okay, Hector, really." I put on a fake smile, a mask to hide my sadness. "Truly, I'm just fine. Who needs him anyway! He's just mean to me, right?"

Hector doesn't look convinced.

"I mean, he's a bully! A big, mean, condescending, arrogant, rude, dense, confusing, kind, caring, cute bully ...who does nothing but help me..." I started crying. I silently cried, tears rolling down my cheeks and falling onto my lap.

Hector pulled me into his shoulder and I cried into it. "You're a good friend, Hector. Thank you for comforting me."

"Hey," he looks at me with a small smile, " it's what friends do, Sara."

friends... i smile back at him.

A large alarm goes off. I Sigh.

"Oh well, Time to go dig, I guess." I say to Hector, standing up.

I again feel sad at what Squid said. I wonder how the rest of the day will go. I wonder if I'll cry if I so much as SEE him...

I have nothing to say. Only that I started at class and ended at home. On a Sunday. At night. And I'm sleepy. I'm done.
