A/N-Thanks for the reviews! Here's the next chapter because I promised it! Also, what would ya'll do if Sara ended up with Scratch or one of the other B-tent boys? Would it make you sad or happy? And Squid and Aniaml are kinda together, it is like a friends with benefits relationship.
I sat on the edge of Scratch's cot, Magnet's letter sitting on my lap. I could hear Moose snoring from the cot over and Moss was mumbling in his sleep. Scratch looked up at me and yawned.
"Quit beating yourself about it. You can always read it in the morning," he mumbled. I sighed, he was right. I have been sitting here for almost two hours, staring at the letter but never actually opening it. I sat it on the floor with my other things and laid my head on my pillow, Scratch's arm curled around me feet. I let out a small giggle.
"Stop it," I said, flicking his toe. He turned away from my feet and stretched.
"Fine, but go to bed cause I ain't digging your hole for you tomorrow when you're too tired to," he warned. I rolled my eyes and fell asleep.
I grabbed my shovel and headed for D-tents designated area. I struck my shovel into the ground not to far away from Armpit. He groaned and I shot him a glare. The first thing I told myself this morning was that I wasn't going to put up with shit today. Armpit must have realized I meant business cause he stopped groaning and went to digging. I seen the water truck coming down the road. I got up quickly, causing me to make it to the line first. I felt someone tap my shoulder, but I ignored it and handed Dr. Pendanski my canteen.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" X-ray asked. I looked at him over my shoulder.
"Well, I've thought that since I'm not a D-tent member anymore I shouldn't have to follow your rules. I mean, it's only fair," I smirked before heading back to my hole. Magnet walked over to me and caught my eye. "What?"
"Did you read my letter?" he whispered. I grunted.
"I haven't got to it yet," I muttered. He looked at me a moment longer before walking back to his hole. One by one people started to leave and it was only me and Stanley.
"So, to cool to talk to me now?" I asked, leaning on my shovel and wiping my forehead. He snorted.
"I wouldn't say I'm 'too cool', it's just you have friends and if I talk to you I'll lose mine," he explained. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, cause they're such awesome friends. You wanna know why they're mad at me?" I asked.
"Cause you led Magnet on and made-out with Zig-Zag," he stated. I laughed.
"Um, no. Well, yes, but I only kissed Zig-Zag cause he was going to tell Magnet I liked him. I freaked out and did something really stupid and then I lied. I admit, it was wrong, but some people won't let things go," I explained.
"I think if you apologized they would forgive you," Stanley told me.
"The others might, but not Animal. Plus, I don't think I could ever be friends with them again," I said sadly. I then noticed I was done with my hole so I got up.
"Just don't say I didn't warn you when they turn against you," I said softly heading back to camp. I saw Spike talking to Magnet and X-ray in front of the Mess hall, his face confused. Then I saw him shrug before heading in. Magnet and X-ray turned to each other and exchanged a few words before heading inside themselves. I stayed where I was for a minute, unsure about what I just saw. Finally I went inside and walked straight to Spike.
"What did they want?" I asked. He looked at me and grinned.
"Say please," he ordered. I rolled my eyes.
"Just tell me," I snapped. He crossed his arms and put his nose in the air.
"Not until you say please," he mocked.
"Fine, please," I said. He smirked.
"They just wanted us to try and talk to you about joining their table again, but of course I told them I didn't think that was such a good idea," he ranted. I smiled and I held my hand up motioning for him to stop.
"Thank you, now I must go read a letter from a very cute mexican," I laughed. I ran to Scratch's cot and grabbed the letter, taking a deep breath I opened it.
Sara,
I just want to start by saying this changes nothing. I'm still really hurt by the fact that you kissed Zig-Zag, intentional or not. But I do like you, a lot, and I want to try and work it out with you. But it will take time and you'll need to get back on the D-tents good side agian. Because they are still pissed about everything that happened. Please come back to the table, even if it is for one day. It would help so much!
Magnet
I bit my lip in anger and ripped the letter up. I can't believe he thought it was my fault. But then again, maybe it was. I mean, I was the one that lied and kissed Zig-Zag. And I also didn't try to fix it. I sighed and the dinner bell sounded. I stood up and walked to the Mess hall where Spike was outside waiting for me.
"You sitting with us today?" he asked. I shook my head.
"I am going to try and work this out, but keep a spot open, just in case?" I asked. He laughed and rolled his eyes.
"No," he said, but the gleam in his eyes told me that he would. I grabbed my tray and walked over to my old table, but didn't sit down. I just stood there as X-ray's eyes fixed on me.
"Well, well, look who came crawling back," he mocked. I tensed.
"If this is how I am going to get treated then I'm leaving," I said, taking a couple of steps away.
"Don't leave Switch! We need to talk," X-ray mumbled. I smiled and turned around.
"Well, it looks like we're getting somewhere, but may I make a request?" I asked. X-ray nodded. "I want to sit by Zero." At the sound of his name Zero looked up at me, a smiled pulling at his lips.
"Scoot over Pit," X-ray ordered. I sat down and stared at the fearless 'leader'.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked.
"I want you to start sitting with us again," he started, I frowned.
"That probably won't happen," I said. X-ray let out a frustrated sigh.
"Just listen! We can't go on being mad a each other forever and I feel like a third-grade teacher giving you this talk," he muttered.
"I'm not mad at anyone. I'm just tired of being picked on and called names cause I did nothing!" I said, almost yelling the last few words.
"Can't we just start over," this time the voice was female. I turned and seen Animal staring at me.
"Me and you, hell no. The rest of us, maybe," I said. X-ray smiled.
"So you'll come back to out tent?" he asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, but," I said shifting my gaze to Magnet, "this doesn't change anything." At that I got up and left.
