Chapter Fifteen
Today was the day X-Ray left to go home. Everybody was really upset, everybody except X-Ray.
"Twist, why would I be upset, I'm going home," he said to me that morning.
"Well, I thought you would be a little upset," I said to him walking over to the Library.
"Why?"
"You are leaving this camp and probably never going to see me again," I said with a smile on my face.
"Twist, you know I will miss you and everyone else; I'll write."
"Liar."
"Well, you can't blame a guy for trying. Now, be happy. Soon you will be leaving here too, and you wouldn't want everyone around you depressed because of it."
"Yes I would. It shows that I am wanted, as it should be."
We got our shovels and we walked to the digging site one last time together in silence. Well, until the rest of the gang caught up with us.
"Hey X, I bet you can't wait for that ten hour bus ride home," Magnet said.
"I bet you can't wait for that eight month wait for your bus ride home," X-Ray said back while starting to dig his last hole. So sad.
"What is the first thing you are going to do when you get home?" Armpit asked.
"Take a hour long shower with hot water, then eat some real food."
"How do you think the people in you neighborhood will react when you get back?" ZigZag asked.
"Don't know, don't care."
"Well, you shouldn't, they probably don't know anything about what really happened," Charlie said.
"Well, I don't, and they probably don't."
All the guys were asking X-Ray questions about what he was going to do when he got home all through the day. When everyone was done with their hole and had showered, me and the girls went to our tent to try and convince Isabella to come to X-Ray's leaving of Hell. We walked into our tent and found Isabella once again facing away from us on her cot.
"Um, Isabella?" I said quietly walking towards her.
She turned around, "What?"
"Do you want to um, and I understand if you don't, watch X-Ray leave?"
"Sure."
"I mean it's not like you really know him, so I guess you wouldn't really care, but we think he'd appreciate it."
"I said okay."
"Oh, okay cool. Well, Mom said his bus was coming in like an hour or so, so when it comes we'll be out there."
"Okay. Bye," she said turning back away from us.
The rest of us left the tent and walked back to the guys.
"Oh my goodness, guess who Twist got to make an appearance in front of us," Tori said excitedly.
"Isabella! She actually agreed to come out of her little cove!" Lillian squealed.
"How did you manage that? She like never comes with us anywhere," Squid asked me.
"I asked her, and she said yes. Amazing isn't it?" I said a little shocked myself.
An hour passed way too quickly, and we only knew it had been an hour when the crap yellow bus pulled up.
"Well, this is it," X-Ray said.
All of us girls got up and hugged X-Ray. Isabella came over and joined us.
"Bye X-Ray," she said quietly.
"Bye Stranger," X-Ray said to her. He had given her a nickname.
"Hey, how come we don't have nicknames yet?" Lillian, Theresa, Charlie, and Tori screamed at him.
"I haven't thought of any yet."
"Well hurry up, I want an official X-Ray nickname," Charlie ordered.
"Okay, Lillian you are now Princess. Theresa you're Dutchess. Charlie, I dub you Tough Cookie but TC for short. And Tori, you're new name is Hype. Okay happy?"
"Very," they all said giving hime one last hug.
X-Ray looked at the guys and gave them one last nod and got on the bus. But after he got on a chubby boy got off.
"Hi, my name's Stanley. Where's the main office?"
i think in a previous chapter i had put stanley in there by accident, just pretend armpit said it. all good.
