I watched as Duncan pushed his crate forward, leaving me behind. 'Yeah thanks for leaving me, JERK!' I wined in my head trying to push my crate faster to catch up with him but only too get super tired and fall behind.

Finally I reached the campsite; a few people where already there but many people where still straggling behind. I sat on top of my crate waiting for someone to tell me what to do about the hot tube we were allegedly supposed to make only to let out a yelp when the box collapsed under me.

"Ooooouuuccchhhhh." I wined examining my backside for splinters. I turned around to find the whole campsite laughing at me, even the gophers and Chris. 'Oh joy…' I thought.

"Wow Esme, remind me never to let you sit on my lap." Someone snickered behind me; it was Duncan.

"Like I would!" I cried, my cheeks turning red. He just winked at me and turned his attention to something else. Everyone was still laughing, I pretended to cry obnoxiously; Owen came up to me and tried to calm me down. I giggled and said I was only kidding when Courtney called my name.

"This is no time to be fooling around!" she said. I turned around to give her a piece of my mind when I saw the most hideous thing growing out of her left eye. I took one look, screamed and hid behind the closest person to me; which just so happened to be Duncan. "Wow Cyclopes look at that, you scared her." He laughed. "Get to work!" Courtney screamed at us.

The completed pool was awful. When Chris examined it the whole thing fell apart in a big heap of wood and water. We ended up losing; go figure.

After the verdict of who won and gophers cheering and trying out their new hot tub, I ran up to Chris who was walking back to his campsite. "Hey Chris!" I said, "Wait up!"

He stopped and turned with a weird look on his face as if wondering why I was calling his name. "Yo Esme, what's up?" he said. "I didn't think our hot tube was that bad," I said with a sarcastic laugh. "Did you see the thing?" he laughed loudly. "Maybe…" I said looking down in a guilty. "So what happens next?" I asked him trying to keep the conversation going, "I kind of forgot."

He told me about the campfire and the elimination of a camper. After that we both walked away.

I'm bad at this flirting thing…

I slumped over to the main lodge kind of depressed that we lost. I talked to chef about his army days once I got there, trying to make things cool between him and me. I think it worked because after we talked he gave me a smile and an apple, the FIRST edible food I've seen since I got here. I walked back to the table and sat in between DJ and Duncan. Duncan and Courtney where fighting because Courtney thought we needed her because she was a C.I.T. or something lame like that….

I began to chop down on my apple when Ezekiel spoke…

"Well I just don't get why we lost, aye. They're the ones that have six girls." He said. "What's that supposed to mean?" Bridgette demanded. "Yeah home-school, enlighten us!" Eva, the steroid freak-o, yelled hitting the table.

"Well guys are much stronger and better at sports than girls are." We all stared at him… no one spoke until Geoff broke the silence "Ohh snap! He did NOT just say that." I grabbed Ezekiel by the shirt and said "Geoff is right, you did NOT just say that." he just looked at me strangely and said "yeah, my dad told me to look out for the girls here, aye, and help them in case they cant keep up."

"Oh really?" I asked him sarcastically pulling my fist back to punch him in the face when Geoff caught it and moved me away from him before it made contact with Ezekiel's face.

"Okay, Okay guys, lets give him a break. I mean, at least he doesn't think that guys are smarter then girls." Geoff said. "But they are!" Ezekiel replied.

I screamed and charged at the dwarf nerd. I almost succeeded in ripping him apart but failed when Duncan wrestled me to the ground. "Get off!" I yelled. I tried to push him of so that I could get to Ezekiel but Duncan was too heavy. I took a deep breath and tried to clam my self. "Do you really want to risk being sent home for ripping a guy to shreds?" He asked helping me off the ground.

I acted like I was considering that then got right up in his face and murmured "maybe" with an evil grin spread across my face.

He chuckled and said, "well I've had enough prison food for one day, I'm going to go take a nap." And left… just like that.

I sat on the ground next to Duncan at the fire pit. "Dude you've got a lot to learn about the real world." He said to Ezekiel, who was sitting next to him.

I watched as Chris walked up with a tray of marshmallows.

*Confessional*

I sighed, "I don't know if it was the marshmallows… or the man holding them that made my mouth water."

*Static*

"Killer Bass, at camp, marshmallows represent a tasty treat that you enjoy roasting be the fire. At his camp, marshmallows represent life. You've all cast you votes and made your decision. There are only eleven marshmallows on the plate. When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper, who does not receive a marshmallow tonight, must immediately return to the dock of shame to catch the boat of losers. That means, you're out of the contest and you can't come back…. Ever. The first marshmallow goes to Geoff, Tyler.

"Whooo hoo! Yeah! Place at the table!" Tyler shouted as he got to clam his marshmallow. "Katie, Bridgette, DJ, Harold, Sadie." Chris continued.

"Duncan and Esme come and clam your marshmallows."

"Whooo!" I yelled. Snatching my marshmallow out of Chris's hand. He winked at me as I walked away. I felt my face turn bright red. I didn't know that Duncan was watching me as I walked back.

"Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the evening," Chris said. I saw that Courtney and Ezekiel where the only ones left.

There was silence all across the camp. "Courtney!" "Can't say I'm shocked." Chris said to Ezekiel. "Saw you picking your nose dude, not cool. Dock of shame is that way bro." Chris said, pointing towards the dock.

"The rest of you are safe," he paused for dramatic effect, "for now."

"DUN DUN DUUUUUUUNNNNN!" I yelled from the background giggling. Everyone just looked at me... but Chris was smiling so I still felt accomplished.

Everyone walked over to the pit to cook their marshmallows. I was about to cook mine when I caught Duncan's eyes; we stared at each other for about 5 seconds before I turned away because I felt my cheeks heat up.

*Confessional*

"What was that all about?" I asked the camera referring to the magical staring moment that happened between the green haired kid and I.

*Static*

I ignored the thoughts that were popping in my head and turned to the fire. Licking my lips I stuck my treat into the fire with a nearby stick I found.

When I pulled the marshmallow out it was engulfed in flames. I tried to blow it out but every time I did it would reignite, so I started to shake it bake and forth furiously when I heard a scream from behind me. I turned around to see that my marshmallow was melted all over Courtney's head. I looked at my bare stick then back at Courtney. "Hey!" I yelled at her, "You stole my marshmallow you jerk!"

Everyone busted out laughing when they saw the melty goop all in her hair. "Nice aim Es." Duncan said in between laughs.

Courtney screamed and ran away, "hey!" I wined as I watched her running away actually feeling a little concerned for her, "I want my marshmallow back!"

"Here, have mine. I don't want it." Duncan said handing me his. I looked at it checking for contamination. "Are you sure?" I asked deciding it was clean. "Yeah sure its cool." He said popping the marshmallow into my mouth. His fingers brushed against my lips as he did so. We both blushed and looked away; I started to chew the delicious treat. "Who knew life tasted so good?" I said, breaking the awkward silence, joking about how Chris said our marshmallows were life. He laughed and walked away.

I finished chewing the marshmallow and walked back to the cabin before anyone was even done cooking their treats to check on Courtney. I felt really bad for getting marshmallow stuck in her hair. When I didn't see her in the cabin I ran to the bathroom. Threw the door I could here muffled sobs. I gasped and burst threw the door to find Courtney crying on the floor struggling to get the dried marshmallow out of her hair. She saw me and glared, "haven't you done enough damage already?" she screamed at me, "go away!"

"Oh Courtney, I am sooo sorry!" I said rushing to the sink, "I really didn't mean to threw that at you. It just sort of flew off my stick when I was trying to blow it out."

I walked back over to her with a clod washcloth and some shampoo.

"Here, take your shirt off." I said only to receive a look that suggested I was insane. "Ohhhh. No, no, no, no." I said understanding what she thought. "I mean take it off so I can wash your hair. I don't want to get it all wet."

She removed her shirt and I went to work on her hair. First I removed as much marshmallow as I could with my hands, then I poured warm water on the rest of the marshmallowy part and started to shampoo.

"I really am sorry. If it makes you feel better after you left I tripped over Bridgett and fell on my face." I said to her.

I heard her laugh ever so softly. "It's okay… I know you didn't mean it on purpose." She said to me. "Thanks Hun… so, friends?" I asked with a meaning full smile.

"Yeah, friends." She said laughing.

I finished getting the junk out of her hair and decided to play with it. I cut and blow dried it, then straightened and curled.

I made her look HOTT!

She looked at her self in the mirror. "Oh my god is that me?" she gasped. "Of course its you! Who else would it be?" I said moving her hair off her shoulders and looking into the mirror with her smiling. "Its just that it doesn't look like me at all…" she replied. "Well I mean it wasn't like I gave you plastic surgery or anything. I only did your hair!" I told her laughing.

"That beauty was there all along." I was always good at giving motivational talks.

I had given her side bangs that covered up her swelling eye; also I cut her hair an inch shorter and flipped the bottom outward, she looked adorable. "Lets go flaunt off your new hair!" I giggled pulling her towards the door.

"Oh… um okay." She said nervously.

We walked over to the gopher's hot tub where they where having a party.

"Hey guys! Sorry to barge in but id like you to meet the new Courtney! Pulling her out from behind me. I watched in triumph as most cheered, others gawked, and one glared. I'm sure you could guess who that could have been…

"Well you all have fun, were going to go show are team the new and improved Courtney!"

That night I fell asleep thinking about my family…
