There was a knock on our door and it swung open at 5:45am. I swore at whoever was waking us up and rolled over. Eventually the others managed to get me up. All I can say is they are so lucky I liked them or they would be nothing but bloody pulps on the floor. I changed into yet more ripped up jeans and a black shirt with a bloody heart over my real heart, and it had a dagger going through it with a rose wrapped around it. We were taken to a hall full of tables and chairs. We sat in our cabin groups and started eating our food, if you could call it that. We were all fed rice with what I was hoping was beef. I managed to keep my food down and we waited for Jeb to stand up on yet another bucket. "Ok so these are the groups you'll be put with" Jeb announced. "Cabin Eleven. You'll be with Cabin 13" Jeb called. Nudge, Max, Angel and I stood up and went outside. We waited there and soon enough our other group came to meet us. I saw Angel's blonde brother stand beside her. A boy about my age dressed in black with black shaggy hair that covered one eye, dark eyes, tanned and quite hot stood in front of us. I groaned as a familiar face with a wide grin bounced over to us. "Hey Lexi, sleep well?" Iggy asked and I glared at him. "How did I get stuck with you?" I asked and he just grinned even more. "So I'm Max, in for letting animals rampage in he city" Max said. "Nudge, I hacked the government files." "Angel shoplifted a lot of times." "Gazzy, shoplifted a lot of times" Angel's brother grinned. "Fang, I stole a car and hit some guy who was put into a coma" the black haired boy said. "Iggy. I blew up my school, literally. I was playing with home made explosives and I got distracted and set it off, but no one was hurt. Much. I also have caught a lot of stuff on fire. Guess I'm a pyro" he shrugged. "You and Lexi are like twins" Max laughed. "Really? So why are you here?" Iggy asked me. "Don't get her started" Angel rolled her eyes and I frowned. "Lexi. I stole a motorbike and blew it up. I shoplifted 10 times. I've been in a lot of serious fights. Vandalism. I stole a car and drove it into a shopping mall. I set fire to my school, and I've set fire to my neighbor's house" I said in one long sentence, taking a long breath at the end. "Dam" was all Iggy could say. "Ok, you guys ready?" a voice from behind me came, our leader I assumed. I turned around and my blood boiled. "Hey Sam" I said. "Lexi? I always knew you'd end up here" he smirked. "You know him?" Max asked. "Unfortunately" I spat. Sam was tall and muscular, with dirty blonde hair and a cute face. But under that he was a monster. "You know what, I lied before. I knew you'd either end up here or a mental hospital" he smirked. I lunged at him with murder in my eyes. Before I knew it I was lying face down in the dirt. Fang and Iggy had grabbed my legs and were dragging me back. "You little son of a bitch! You wait till I get hold of you! I'll strangle the daylights out of you! Your dead!" I yelled at Sam, still trying to get to him while Fang and Iggy held me back. Sam pulled up his shirt to show us he had a taser attached to his belt. Was that even legal? I didn't care. I pretended to give up and Fang and Iggy let go of me. Before they could stop me I ran at Sam and we fell to the ground. I punched his face with as much force as I could. All of a sudden I fell to the ground as my whole body exploded in pain and then went numb. I couldn't move and I just lay there in the dirt, trying to keep my dignity. Slowly I got up and walked back over to my group. Sam's nose was gushing blood and his eye was already bruising. "What was that about?" Gazzy asked. "Ex-boyfriend" was all I said. Sam was now 18, but last year we were dating. And then something happened that became the beginning of the end of my life and I became a whole new person. Oh he is so dead. So I got a talking to from Jeb and I had to put up with Sam for he was my leader. Could life hate me anymore? Sam led us up a trail and I could feel everyone's eyes on me as we walked. "Ok. So for our first day, we're going to go pretty hard on you. So here we have the obstacle course. You have to climb over the wall but your not allowed to touch it until you get to the top, use the rope, under the barbwire, on the swing rope and through the mud" Sam explained. "You have to complete it four times and the first person to finish gets to miss out on doing it tomorrow" Sam said. "You ready?" he said as we all lined up. "Set. Go!" he blew his whistle and we all ran towards the wall. This is abuse. It should be illegal. Fang, Max, Gazzy and I reached the wall first. I grabbed the rope and started hauling myself up. Soon enough I was over taken by Angel, and then Gazzy, and then Max. I got to the top and instead of scaling down the wall like the others I just jumped. I bent my knees and rolled on the ground like I had seen in the movies. I was now in the lead. I got onto my stomach and started crawling under the barbwire. I was about halfway when Iggy crawled up beside me and shimmied past me. I got out and ran and jumped on the swing rope, flying across the pit and landing on the other side. I heard a thump behind me as Fang landed and Iggy was a few meters ahead of me. I ran into the mud and nearly faceplanted for it was thicker then I thought. It slowed Iggy, Fang, Max and I down, but Nudge flew past us, followed closely by Gazzy then Angel. We did the laps another two times and were now on our last lap. I was crawling under the barbwire and Iggy was meters ahead of me and Max was right on my tail. I swung over the rope and jumped into the mud. I was literally covered in mud, sweat and blood (cut myself on the barbwire.) Iggy was only just ahead of me and I was gonna lose. I scooped up some mud and chucked it at the back of Iggy's head. He stopped dead in his tracks and spun around. "Oh no you did not" he glared at me and I tried not to smile. "I just washed my hair" he screeched and I giggled. Wait. Me, Lexi Blade, giggling? What has the world come to? He dived at me and rubbed mud through my hair. I gasped as it ran down my back. We started wrestling and I got mud everywhere. We stopped as I heard the whistle being blown and looked up to see Max at the end, gasping for air. "Naww skittles" Iggy sighed. "Skittles?" I asked and he grinned at me. "Ok everyone. So Max has won. Now go get cleaned up and met back at the hall in half an hour" Sam ordered and I shot him the bird as I walked off.
