A/N-This is a little Vivian and Squid bonding chapter! And cause two people have messaged me about who she ends up with I will give you a hint! It's either Squid or Magnet! It was going to be X-ray, but I decided that they would remain just friends.
It was my third week at Camp Green Lake and I hate to admit that the boys were growing on me and I had a feeling I was doing the same to them. Though I seemed to get under X-ray's skin a lot and Armpit's snoring kept me up a lot. I didn't hurt as bad anymore and my hands no longer blistered; I was still the slowest digger, but I finished only about twenty minutes after Caveman.
Right now I was sitting in the Mess Hall eating dinner, Squid playing with my hair. I sighed and looked at him.
"Must you not my hair?" I asked him, he just grinned and continued to twist it around his finger. Magnet laughed.
"You know when you first got here I thought you dyed your hair," Magnet said. I laughed.
"I know! People are always asking if it's real or not," I said. Caveman swallowed his food and turned to me.
"Some people are born with white hair, like Vi-Simba, and they are classified as albino," he said matter-of-factly. I rolled my eyes.
"Gee, thanks," I muttered. Caveman looked at me nervously.
"I mean, it's just-," he started, but I giggled and put my hand up to silence him.
"I'm kidding," I said. Magnet slowly reached out and grabbed my bread. "Hey!"
"What? I'm hungry," he whined, half my bread now shoved into his mouth. I stared at him in disbelief.
"I can't believe you did that," I said, crossing my arms over my chest. He smirked.
"Well, believe it," he laughed. I rolled my eyes and stood up.
"Well, since you did that, I am going to find a hot, male delinquent that is willing to shower with me," I smirked. Heads shot up and X-ray glared at me.
"That's not funny," he growled. Over the last couple of weeks I have become more comfortable with the boys; so talking about sexual situations wasn't as awkward now.
"He shouldn't have stole my bread," I said as me and Squid headed out the door.
"You know you're going to be the end of him, right?" he said, referring to X-ray. I smiled.
"I know," I said, "but I really do need a shower."
"It's Zig-Zag's turn," Squid said. I turned and gave him a pleading look.
"Please don't make me go with him! He complains the whole time," I whined. He sighed.
"Fine, but only because I don't wanna hear him complain as much as you do," he said. We ran to the tent and grabbed my things.
"I wonder if I'll ever be able to shower alone," I said, saying my though out loud. Squid chuckled.
"Um, probably not," he said. I walked into the stall and shut took off my clothes.
"I'm surprised that no one has tried to sneak a peek at me yet," I said.
"I'm sure they've though about it. Why?" he asked.
"Just a thought," I said. After I was done I got dressed and headed back into the tent.
"The whole time you've been here you never told us if you had a boyfriend," Squid pointed out. I shrugged.
"Well, I had an off-and-on relationship with a guy named Blake for a while, but he dumped me three days before I got sent here," I explained. He snorted.
"What, he didn't think he could deal with a long-term relationship?" he asked. I bit my bottom lip.
"Actually, our relationship mostly consisted of...hooking up," I admitted. Squid widened his eyes and looked at me, shock was clearly drawn on his face.
"Don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't know you were that kind of girl," he said. I shrugged.
"I wasn't three years ago," I said as we entered the tent to find it empty.
"What were you like three years ago?" Squid asked. I laughed.
"Like all twelve-year olds. Worried about nothing but what their hair looked like in the morning and was discovering the joys of make-up," I laughed.
"Did it have anything to do with your dad?" he asked softly. I sighed.
"Mostly, but some of it I did for retaliation. I was sort of a rebel," I explained. Squid looked at me, his brown eyes dark with pain.
"My mom's a drunk, too," he told me.
"I don't blame my mom though. She didn't deserve what happened to her," I whispered. Squid stared into my eyes and slowly leaned towards me. My breath caught as I realized he was going to kiss me. Suddenly the others came rushing into the tent causing Squid to jump away. Zig-Zag looked at me and smiled.
"I can see I'm out of shower duty," he said happily. I rolled my eyes.
"I know that you were looking forward to it," I said sarcastically. X-ray chuckled.
"Don't get him started," he said. I yawned and walked over to my cot.
"I am so tired," I whined.
"Then go to bed," Magnet suggested.
"I can't!" I groaned. Magnet raised an eyebrow.
"Why not?" he asked. I fell backwards on my cot.
"Cause I don't trust you guys," I said. Armpit threw his boot at me. "Ow!"
"Serves you right," Caveman grinned. I flipped him off and stood up and grabbed a black tank top and red shorts from under my bed.
"Okay, either get out or turn around! I need to put on my pajamas," I ordered. They all turned around and I slipped into the comfortable clothes.
"You know Simba, if you continue to wear things like that you theory about going to bed is gonna come true," Magnet teased. I rolled my eyes.
"What ever Jose," I said. He frowned at his real name, but them a grin spread across his face. "What?"
"I think we should play a game," he declared. I eyed him wearily.
"What game?" I asked.
"Truth or Dare," he smirked.
