I went outside and Courtney was waiting for me. We ran, across the main walkway, back towards the garden and down a side walk till we came to a small, yet comfy cabin. Inside were all the other 19 people I have met before. They all yelled hi.
I took a seat next to, whom else but the extremely hot Trent, and was ready for what ever they had planned. "So going to run patrol? That's cool. You'll be way tired until your used to it, so I suggest you drink coffee, or Red Bull. What ever works for you?" Bridgett said taking a sip of her coffee. Trent and a few others also had a cup of coffee, and offered me one. I accepted it, because I want to stay awake the whole night. "So who is responsible for her again?" Noah asked not taking his eyes from his book.
"I am." Trent said wrapping his arm around me. Everyone just smiled and attempted to hold a smile but all failed. We all were thinking the same thing. "We got to go now. Gwen just stay close to Trent ok." Izzy said standing up. "Fine leave, but guy meeting real quick." Duncan said as all the girls were pushed out. "Oh my gosh. Their doing that stupid bidding thing. UGH Gwen I am so sorry they are immature and act like dogs." Courtney apologized. "You see, I kind of invented that, with the girls, and the guys heard it, and now…" she was explaining but Trent and DJ were walking out of the house with their walkie-talkies in hand. "Ready?" DJ asked.
**********
During patrol Trent explained everything to me. "These walkie-talkies are different. See these have an emergency, and sleep button. Right now everyone except us 5 have theirs on sleep. That way they don't get any messages, but they will be informed if the emergency button is pressed." He said showing me the walky. "So, who won?' I asked trying to be flirty yet discrete.
"I can't tell you. You'll have to find out." He said giving me that same look. I have been here for, … 1 day, and I am totally into this guy, I barley know. I felt pretty pathetic. "Something wrong?" he asked looking at me.
"Yea, all of you guys know so much about me, but I don't know shit about you guys. I feel kind of, out of place." I explained. "A game of 20 questions can solve that." He said looking at me. "Ask me anything about myself, and I must answer it with no or very little hesitation." He said. "Ok. That will work." I said trying to think of 20 questions.

He stopped and stared into my eyes at that question. I could have sworn he was going to say something when his eyes got big, and filled with fear. But before I could ask what wrong he grabbed my arm.
"Student's aren't supposed to be out this late. Do you have a pass?" he asked his tone harsh. But before I can ask what the hell he's doing I hear a ladies voice.
"Is something wrong here?" she asked. "No mama. The new student seems to have gotten lost on her way back to her dorm. I will escort her back." Trent said standing up straight, and letting me go. "As a new student, I will let your first offence sly. But next time I must write you up." He said looking at me. Then the teacher left without another word.
"That was close. Don't worry if it happens again. Sorry." He said, his face returning back to normal. "It's ok." I said also returning back to earth. Before he can say another word Laushawna got on the walkie-talkie. "Hey, yall. Time for a break. Meet in the front corridor, for coffee, and cookies." She announced. "Yum, Izzy love cookies." "Be there soon. Courtney out." The other two girls announced. "Finally." DJ said. "I will keep watch then." Trent said into the walky.
"Invite Gwen for food." Laushawnan said. He gave me the walky talkie telling me if I wanted to go to tell him. "It's ok. I'll keep Trent company." I said looking at him. "OOOOOO. Warning to all perfects, Trent's going to make a move." Izzy said threw the device, making both Trent and me Blush. Everyone else was screaming at her.
**********
Trent and I walked together toward the garden. "Ok now it's my turn to ask you 20 questions. Same rules apply." He said. "I thought you knew me already." I asked.

Our game didn't end there. We kept asking questions, until I yawned. "Tiered? There's only 1 hour left till we're done, but if you want I can take you back, and…." He began o explain.
"No! I want to stay." I said.
The rest o the patrol was uneventful, except when we played Marco polo on the walkie-talkies. Then Trent took me to my dorm.
"Bye DJ. Bye Trent thanks for taking me with you." I called to the boys. DJ smiled and said no problem. Trent grabbed my hand and looked me in the eyes.
"Anytime. It's nice to patrol with someone else." Then he kissed my hand and walked away. I felt like my heart could fly. I hope he asks me out soon. Then I remembered the bidding. I had one unanswered question for him, since he can't tell me who won. "Did you bid on me?" I whispered to nobody and went to bed. I'll ask him tomorrow.
