A/N-I was wondering who you guys thought Vivian should end up with. It was originally going to be Magnet, and it still might be Magnet, but I just wanted to know what you thought! So please REVIEW!
The alarm went off signaling that it was time to get up. I groaned, my body aching from the previous day. I slowly got dressed and followed Magnet towards the library. He looked at me worriedly.
"You okay chica?" he asked. I nodded, my eyes still closed.
"Yeah, just tired," I yawned. He patted my back and I winced. "And sore, very, very sore."
"I would love to tell you that it gets better," Magnet started.
"But?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"It doesn't," he laughed. I rolled my eyes and took a shovel from Mr. Sir, but it was soon ripped out of my hands and replaced by another one.
"Dude, that's X-ray's shovel," Armpit explained. I looked at him confused.
"What's the difference?" I asked.
"It's shorter than the rest of them," Magnet said. I snorted and started to walk.
"I don't get you guys," I said, shaking my head. Squid came up beside me.
"What don't you get?" he asked.
"Most guys would be worshipping the ground I walked on if they hadn't 'got some' in as long as you boys and you people are kinda mean!" I laughed.
"Are you calling us gay?" Squid asked, blocking my path. I shrugged.
"I'm just saying that I would start being nicer," I said flirtatiously as I twirled a strand of hair around me finger. Squid grunted.
"I've seen you in the shower, you aren't that special," he said. My jaw dropped and I stared at him.
"You've...seen me...while I was showering?" I asked, my face heating up. He smirked.
"No, but don't think I won't," he joked and we started walking again.
"You should have seen your face," Zig-Zag laughed as he sat on the edge of my hole.
"What are you talking about?" I blushed.
"When you thought Squid seen you naked! Man that was some funny shit," he howled. I let out a frustrated sigh.
"Well, if someone you didn't know came up and told you they seen you without clothes on, what would you do?" I asked, getting a little annoyed.
"Depends," he replied. I rolled my eyes.
"Depends on what?" I asked.
"If she was hot," he smirked. I just ignored him and pretty soon it was lunch time. I tried to get out of my hole, but the sand was irritating the hell out of my cuts.
"Can someone help me?" I asked. Armpit stopped by my hole and held out his hand.
"Thanks," I said as he hauled me up. He shrugged.
"Not a problem," he said, getting in his spot in line. I sighed and stood behind Zero.
"So, X, you know I love ya right," I asked, poking at my blister. He turned around and raised his eyebrows at me.
"Really now?" he asked. I nodded and smiled a big, toothy, smiled.
"Yup, sure do," I said. He smirked.
"I'm not moving you up," he stated, my smiled turned into a frown real quick.
"Whatever happened to ladies first," I cried. Magnet turned and looked at me with a 'really' look.
"Around here you're a guy," Zig-Zag said. Magnet laughed and Zig-Zag frowned. "I don't think that came out right."
"I think what he meant to say is that just because you're a girl you still get treated like one of the guys," Squid corrected. I pouted.
"Fine," I mumbled. I ate my lunch in peace and then started on my hole again.
"So, Simba, how is your second hole coming along." I looked up and blocked the sun from my eye to see Magnet standing over me.
"You are not done already," I whined as I looked around and saw it as just me, Caveman, and Magnet. He smirked.
"Yeah, I am," he bragged. I looked at my hole, which still had about a foot more to go.
"How are you guys finishing so fast?" I groaned. Magnet just laughed and sat on the edge of my hole.
"I can stay and give you some company if you want," he offered. I smiled.
"That would be amazing," I giggled. After about thirty more minutes Magnet was pulling me out of the hole and we were heading back to camp. My back hurt like crazy and I found it difficult to walk.
"It looks like you were up all night-," Magnet began. I shot him a look and he changed the subject. "So, why did you start doing drugs?"
"Well, the cocaine that I got sent here for wasn't mine, it was a friend's but I took the blame. I mean I've gone to jail in the past, for cocaine even, but I stopped about a year ago," I explained.
"Why did you take the blame then?" he asked. I shrugged.
"The person who the drugs belonged to just had a baby and she ran away to New York to start a new life with her fiancé. It just felt like something I had to do," I said. "Why are you in here?"
"I stole a puppy," he stated. I smiled.
"Aw, big, bad Magnet stole a puppy," I teased, but I quickly layed off the teasing when I noticed he was starting to get mad.
"So, how old is your friend?" Magnet asked.
"Sixteen," I said, "he son is like three weeks old." The rest of the walk was silent and I couldn't wait to get into the loud wreck room.
"Hey, Simba," Squid yelled from the pool table. I stood up and walked over to him.
"What?" I asked. He gave me a pool stick.
"Me and you against X-ray and Pit," he explained. I shrugged.
"What the hell," I grinned, "Who's breaking?"
"I am," X-ray said, lightly shoving me aside. He sent the white ball rolling and it scattered the others.
"Your turn," he told me. I smiled and leaned over the table, rolling me eyes as I felt someone watching my ass.
"Will you watch the game and not the show?" I pleaded after sending onoe of the ball into the pocket. Squid chuckled and stepped forwards.
"Sorry," he smirked.
After playing for about an hour the dinner bell went off. X-ray's team had beaten mine by a lot because I really wasn't that great. I handed my stick to Squid and skipped out the door, crashing into a very pissed off boy.
"Watch where you're going bitch!" he roared. My eyes went wide as I watched him stomp into the Mess hall. I turned to Armpit.
"What did I do?" I asked.
"That's Lump, don't look at him cause he's crazy," Armpit warned. I got my food and sat down in my spot beside Squid.
"So?" I said, trying to break the silence. All the boys looked at me and I shrugged. "Just trying to break the silence."
"We could always ask questions about each other," Zig-Zag offered, "Kinda like a 'get to know the campers week'."
"Okay," I shrugged, "who's first?"
"Um, what's you favorite animal? Mine's a pig," Caveman said. I thought hard for a minute and smiled.
"Horse," I said, slightly hitting the table.
"I like lions," Squid said, winking at me. I rolled my eyes and the boys continued to say their favorite animals.
"My turn! Stupidest thing you've ever done?" I asked.
"Um, wouldn't that be the reason we're in here?" Caveman said and the other boys agreed. I shook my head.
"I ran all the way home from my ex's house because his mom came home early. Yup, six blocks, in the dark, in my underwear. He even pushed me out the window," I said, laughing at the end. the boys all stared at me. "What?"
"Why didn't he throw you your clothes?" Zig-Zag suggested.
"As soon as I was out that window he closed it. Broke up with him the next day," I said proudly.
"Why were you at a boy's house without clothes on?" Caveman asked. Every pair of eyes at our table moved to him.
"Well, you see-," Squid started. I cleared my throat.
"Actually, I was getting ready to take a shower, not the nasty things that were running through your mind," I muttered.
"Oh," they said. I sighed and stood up.
"Well that game failed," I said, "I'm going to head back to the tent and go to bed. I'm dead tired." I walked into the tent and fell on my bed, which smelt like shit. I turned over and closed me eyes, memories of my family flooding my brian, but all the happy memories were flooded by the one thing that will haunt me forever.
Flashback
A thirteen year old me sat in my room with three friends, the radio was blaring and Dylan was poking at her new tattoo.
"Did it hurt?" I asked. She shook her head and grinned at me.
"Nope," she said proudly. I heard a loud thump come from my parents room so I got up slowly and rolled my eyes.
"Hold on, I have to go make sure no one's dead," I mumbled. For the last month of my parents' marriage that were constantly fighting and sometimes those fights led to throwing hard objects at each other. But when I threw the door opened it wasn't my mom and dad fighting, no it was much worse! Laying on the bed was my father, who was clearly drunk, and another women. I screamed at the top of my lungs causing the two to break from their liplock. My dad stared boredly at me so I picked up the phone and called my mom, telling her everything. She cried that night as she threw my father's things in the yard and the next day when he left. I never received a letter or anything from him and I found out later from the news that he was found dead in his apartment only two blocks from my house. He died of an overdose.
I blinked away my tears and sighed. Love was stupid! My should two people claim to fall in love with each other if all they did was mess around behind the other's back. I mean my mom wasn't like that! She loved my father with every fiber in her body, but he betrayed her and he couldn't make it up now. No, because he was dead and the sad part is I don't miss him at all. Sure, sometimes I think of him and wonder what was going through his mind as he help a women that wasn't mom and told her that he loved her. Maybe he really did love mom, but was too stupid to realize it. Footsteps woke me up and I turned to see Magnet.
"Mom called a meeting," he said, but stopped and studied me hard, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, let's go," I mumbled.
