Chapter Five
The shock of what Zero had said to me had brought me into some sort of daze for the next week. I walked out of the tent and into the Mess Hall. I got my food and walked over to the D-Tent table while a smile on my face.
ZigZag poked me and said, "Emma, is your brain being taken over by aliens from the planet X?"
"No."
All the guys looked at me weirdly.
"What?"
"Well, chica, we were expecting a wise ass comment from you."
"Oh."
I was in my own little happy world, but still completely aware of the conversation about me.
"Do you think she's you-know?" X-Ray said.
"Nah, she had that last week." Armpit answered.
"Well, what could it be then?" Caveman wondered.
"I just think she's a little weird." ZigZag attributed.
"Squid what do you have to say on my 'weird' behavior?" I asked the young man sitting across from me.
"Um…I think that you…need to…you need to…eat something and go to sleep," he replied stupidly.
"Thank you Mother Squid," I said giving him a look.
"She's back," Armpit mumbled.
We all got up to go back to the tent.
"Zigzag?" I asked when everyone was about to fall asleep.
"Emma, it's time to go to bed."
"Oh, come on pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?"
"Fine."
"Okay. Truth or Dare?"
There were groans from the other species in the tent.
"Truth."
"Aw, you're no fun. Squidly, Truth or Dare."
"I'll pick dare if you never call me Squidly again."
"Fine, Arm-"
"Emma, shut up and go to sleep!" X-Ray yelled at me.
"Gosh, X-Ray. You are being very inconsiderate of the sleeping people around you."
More groans.
