"Are you ready?"
Casey had a determined look on her face on that dock. Olivia and Melinda were sitting on the diving board, while Elliot was standing a few feet in front of Casey.
"I've been ready" Elliot said "Let's see if you can wrestle me off this dock"
"All right" Melinda said "Let's start: Ready, set..."
"Go!" Melinda and Olivia yelled.
Casey was the first one to go after Elliot and try to push him off the dock. Elliott grabbed her hands and they started pushing each other in small steps. Olivia and Melinda cheered as the both of them continued to try to push each other off the dock. A few minutes later, Elliot finally had the strength to pick up Casey and throw her in the water. She screamed until she hit the water; after going underwater for a few seconds, she came back up and coughed up water. Olivia and Melinda started laughing at Casey.
"I love how the two of you think that was funny" Casey said as she went back on the dock. Olivia and Melinda giggled to themselves as Casey looked at Elliot.
"Even though you lost, I'm still impressed" Elliot said as he let out a little laugh.
When he didn't expect it, Casey pushed him hard off the deck. The girls looked and saw that Elliot was in the water. Elliot came up from underwater as Casey smiled.
"I guess both of us won" she said.
Alex couldn't believe that she saw Elliot and the other girls on the dock fooling around. How could Casey possibly push Elliot into the lake? Casey was almost as skinny as she was. She wanted to have her own fun as she looked for her counselor to tell her that Elliot was there and wasn't suppose to be anywhere near the lake.
"Two threes" John said as he put down his cards
"Bullshit" Fin said.
John took his two cards back. Fin, Munch, and George were playing a card game called Bullshit, except no one has heard George say the actual word throughout the game.
"One Four" George said as he put down his car.
"Two Fives" Fin said
"Not true!" George said.
"You know, you're one weird teenager" Fin said as she took back his cards "It's not a crime to say bullshit."
"I'm not into swearing" George said.
"Three Sixes"
"Bullshit John, do you really think I'm that stupid?"
"Well, you weren't paying attention..."
"One Seven" George said
"Two Eights" Fin said.
"Bullshit."
"Take the cards John, I got the real deal" Fin said as he showed John his eights.
"Damn" John said as he took the small pile of cards.
Elliot walked into the cabin and the three boys looked up at him.
"Aren't you supposed to be at Archery?" George asked.
"Aren't you?"
"We were excused" John said "We wanted to keep George company since his parents won't let him go to archery."
"Are you serious?"
"It's sad, but true" George said.
"So where were you?" Fin asked.
"I had to challenge Casey at the dock. We both won."
"Dude, Casey kicked your ass?" Fin said as he started laughing "I need to meet this girl..."
"I only won once because I was paying attention..."
The three boys started laughing and making fun of Elliot.
"He got his ass kicked by a girl!"
"That's the funniest thing I ever all day!"
"I wish we were there to see it..."
Elliot started getting angry. He could have started a fight right there in the cabin, but instead he stormed out of the cabin. Munch, Fin, and George started to calm down.
"Okay, so now that we know that Elliot was beaten by a girl" Munch said "Where were we in this game?"
"It's was George's turn, since you took the majority of the cards of the deck..."
Alex was sitting alone like she usually did at dinner time. She was reading another book that she brought with her as she ate her soup. Suddenly, she saw Casey sit across from her at the table.
"Can I help you?"
"Yeah, you can tell me why I'm banned from free swim for two days and why Elliot is stuck in his cabin for two days" Casey said angrily.
"I don't know what you're talking about..."
"I'm not blind and I'm not stupid. I saw you walk over to Amy and say that we were fooling around on the dock. You have some nerve."
"You know, for someone who gets angry all the time, you're not very considerate of others" Alex said.
No one expected Casey to do what she did next. She grabbed Alex's water and dumped it over Alex. When Olivia and Melinda saw this, they quickly left the table and went over to Casey.
"Let me tell you something that you don't understand" Casey said loudly as she started making a scene in the dining hall "If you mess with me, you're going to regret it. You're lucky that I didn't dump that hot soup on you..."
"Casey, calm down" Melinda said "Come on, let's grab your supper and sit down at our table."
Casey gave Alex a nasty look as she grabbed her tray and followed Melinda to their table. Instead of following her friends, Olivia looked at Alex.
"Are you okay?" Olivia asked.
"I'm fine" Alex replied "I just need to change since I'm so wet."
"Here, I'll come with you."
"Are you sure?" Alex asked.
"I'm sure. Come on, let's go."
Olivia and Alex walked out of the dining room and started walking to their cabin.
"I guess Casey was right" Alex said "She could have thrown my soup on me and we could have been going to the nurse's office instead of the cabin."
"I don't think she would do that" Olivia said as they walked up the steps to the cabin "She's only angry at you because you told Amy about her and Elliot on the dock."
"I hope that's the only reason. I don't think she likes me."
"That's only because you're the opposite of what she is" Olivia said "You're the quiet and considerate one, and Casey is the loud, outgoing, and doesn't care about the consequences of her actions; as long as she has fun, she doesn't care. I wouldn't worry about it, Alex."
