Amy
Buzzzzzzzzzzzz
I scrunched up my nose and turned over, trying to block out the annoying noise.
Buzzzzzzzzzz
It was so annoying. Sighing, I stretched an arm out trying to hit my alarm keeping my eyes shut as I searched.
Buzzzzzzzzzzz
I'm sure it was right next to my bed. I stretched further trying to reach it, for some reason it seemed to have moved, when with a thump I fell off the bed and landed on something hard…Very hard.
Buzzzzzzzzzzz
I sat up slowly checking for any bruises before cracking my eyes open. All I could make out was shadowy outlines of beds and people. Turning around I noticed the green cot next to my head, above me a small electric light gave off little light, only enough to show the many flies around it which kept connecting with a ..
Buzzzzzzzzzz
I flinched as another fly dropped dead to the floor. Oh that's right. Camp. I stifled a yawn and went to move when a small sniffling noise sounded from my right. Probably just a mouse, are there mice in the desert? I reached a hand out before drawing it back as something moved closer. Definitely not a mouse. A loud rustling noise made me back away quickly. Scared, I untangled myself from a blanket I was sure I hadn't fell asleep with and crawled over to where I could see twitch's outline so much smaller than the others. Popping my head up the side of his bed, I prodded him in the arm.
"Twitch.." He snorted before returning back to normal. Giggling I poked his arm again. "Twitchh..." I had just prodded him a bit harder when he sat up straight causing me to fall back in surprise and hit the floor for the second time that morning.
"Whatsgoinon?" His voice was thick with sleep. He jumped as I popped up next to him again. "Ames ?"
"Yeah" I climbed up and curled up next to him in his cot and rested my forehead on his, "I heard something when I fell out of bed."
He looked confused for a second before smiling. "That's just Zig. You took his bed-"
My eyes widened. He must hate me after I made him sleep on the floor.
"Shhhh Ames, its fine. If it wasn't, he would have waked you." He failed at stifling a yawn before his eyes slipped shut. "Now go to sleep."
As he dropped off I moved away from him and shuffled closer to the blob that was Ziggy. Light was beginning to shine through the gap in the tent doors. His hair was if possible even messier and I had never seen him look so serene. Even in the short time I've seen him, he's been constantly examining his surroundings. Now he was still. He muttered something in his sleep and began to move slowly.
The slight light from the lamp gave just enough view so I could make out his long thin frame. His hair looked fluffy and soft and his skin was a light brown. Whether it was from the sun or a natural skin colour I couldn't know. His mouth was parted as his chest rose and fell. As I watched his long fingers grasped the sheet over him and pulled it close to his body as he curled into a ball. When he was like this he looked ...cute?
A short soft snore left his body causing me to lean back. My cheeks flared in embarrassment as I realised I was watching him sleep. Well just add creepy stalker to my list of offences…A hand came up to rub at his face as he began to sit up and stretch.
Quickly I climbed back onto his cot and tried to fake sleep, my cheeks were hot, telling me they were probably bright red. I knew I had failed in my acting when I felt a body lean over me and warm air hit my cheek. I froze trying to keep my breathing even, all the time I could hear my heart in my ears. A large hand wrapped around my wrist. My eyes shot open connecting with electric blue. They were so bright.
So..so blue. So nice. Without thinking I began to lean forward until a shocked gasp hit my ears and blood once again began flowing through my arm. Oh damn. A couple of seconds later I was on my feet and had ran out the door. He, of course, followed after.
"Hey I was talking to you. STOP!" I froze at his voice hoping he hadn't woke the others. I couldn't help but giggle again as I saw he was pacing in what seemed to be a ZigZag. Well I guess that's where he got his name from. "What do you want?" He asked. "Why can't you leave me alone?" I wish I knew I really do.
"I was just seeing if you were awake." I lied before grabbing his arm and pulling him to a halt. The constant movement had been making me dizzy. I could feel the muscle under his overalls and dropped my hand as if burnt.
"I'll believe you...This time." I reached out as he walked past. But before I could touch his arm a hand grabbed round my wrist. "That wouldn't be a good idea. Touch me and this truce is over." Truce? What? He left me more confused then I'd been in a long time. Sitting in front of the tent I watched the sun rise slowly. Well just knock me over with a feather and call me Stephanie.
What have I got myself into?
ZigZag
I had just drifted off again as the bell signalling morning began to ring across the grounds. A strong girly smell invaded my nose causing my eyes to snap open. Everyone was beginning to move sleepily as I sat up in bed. Squid and Twitch both glanced at each other before speaking together.
"Where's Amy?" At this Armpit, Magnet and X all spun around to stare at me, Magnet was the one to approach me first which was a surprise as usually he's the last one out of bed. She couldn't have turned them against me already. Could she?
"Ziggy, now this is very important, do you understand?" I nodded at him pulling away automatically as he sat next to me.
"Good. Now could you tell us where Chica is?" His voice was soft as if talking to a child.
"She's gone.-" I began.
"Gone? Gone. GONE!"
"Good riddance I say"
"X-ray shut up and Squid calm down."
"Whatever Magnet you're not the boss!"
"Well neither are you Twitch!"
"GONE!"
"SHUT UP! Now what is going on in here?" We all span as Mr Sir appeared at the door. Everyone quickly looked away and began to get dressed, pulling on jumpsuits, not a word was spoken."Not so fast. Where's Girlie and what were y'all shouting about?" He demanded.
X-ray stepped forward. "We just had a .. Erm disagreement over ...socks?"
Mr Sir shook his head. "Bunch of pansies." As he began to leave we all started to relax again, magnet and twitch still staring at me, when he turned back again."Where did you say Girlie was ?"
Once again everyone looked my way as I began to speak. "She's not here she's-"
"-Behind you" Amy's voice rang through the air. Sir spun round and nodded before leaving.
A minute later both Squid and Twitch were hugging the surprised girl. Armpit and Magnet were shaking their heads in relief and X was back to grumbling under his breath. Yet Amy stared at me. Her eyes focused on mine. Seeing the sadness in the look shot in my direction I glared at the ground. I had to remember that she had nearly broke the truce. If she did ...it was war.
"Ermmm guys as much as I like this..what's going on?" She managed to push Squid and Twitch away and was heading towards her bag. Magnet, Armpit and X-ray had already left.
Twitch shot her a sheepish look before glaring at me, "We thought Zig had killed you..."
Amy had been bending over her suitcase but at this she shot up, shock clear on her face. "Is that a possibility ?" Her voice was higher than usual. Yes, yes it was a possibility.
"Phshawr no course not." Wow Squid was a good liar. I should watch out for that.
I headed out to the library leaving them behind as I got my shovel and Tortilla Slice. Appetising. I dragged the shovel behind me before reaching the point I was meant to dig and spat on the dirt before cracking the ground with the blade. I had five scoops of red dirt when she appeared blonde hair rested on her shoulders and down her back. Her clear eyes shone in the sun. A small gap between her shorts and top exposed a sliver of slim waist. Well, I guess that's what the other guys meant.I was about to turn away when I noticed the band along the top of her own shovel. X- ray. He would murder her. I grabbed a hold of it out of her stunned hands and replaced it with my own.
"Where the hell is my shovel?" Even from here X-Ray could be heard clearly. I saw Amy's eyes widen as she tried to grab it back. Before she could X appeared and snatched it out my hands.
"Zig I swear you're my best mate but pull this again you're dead." And with that he set to work digging a little way off.
"Zig.. I..I'm sorry. You should have let me get the blame." Her voice was full of guilt. No one ever felt guilty for making me do something. "Look I'm sorry maybe we could start over ?"I saw a small hand extend in my direction with perfectly painted blue nails, before a blush covered her cheeks and she pulled it back.
"No touch. I for -" As she pulled it away I covered it with my own and shook.
"Deal." Her skin was soft and unlike what I'd felt before. I liked damn this would not make it end well.
Amy
I could feel his warmth when we shook hands and had to fight off another blush. Yeah, I had it that bad, Looking around and seeing that everyone had started I placed the tip of my shovel on the ground and pressed down. Nothing happened. I tried jumping on the blade only succeeding in falling over. Turning my head to the sound of laughter I saw Magnet bent over and clutching his sides as he chuckled.
"Te amo, chica, te amo." Magnet said trying to breathe normally as I dusted off my denim shorts and straightened my vest top. Denim and heat = not comfortable.
"Oh, ya se que hacer" I smirked back at him before winking. He dropped his shovel hitting his foot and beginning to hop like a mad man. I started to laugh.
Finally, he stopped and placed his foot on the ground still wincing slightly.
"Hablas español?" He asked sending me a grin around us the others shared confused looks as he leant on his now upright shovel.
No Einstein. I just guessed "Si. Me ayuda por favor?" I asked smiling up at him and gesturing to the shovel.
"Simple" He took my shovel and placed a foot on the edge before pushing it in to the dirt and collecting a pile. He glanced back at me before muttering "Eres guapa"
"Gracias" I sent a smile his way before taking over. Aww he was sweet. This digging was easy. All ready I felt stronger. A couple more days and I'll be strong as anything.
Five hours later I was considering stabbing myself with said shovel.
