Treat You Better

Questions

The bell rang once again as we all groaned out of tiredness. I did once again my 'morning routine': Orange Jumpsuit, Bandana, T - shirt, Boots. I didn't wait for Amy, nor did I for anyone else. I just walked. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone so I just kept moving forward. "Chase," I turned around to see Caveman. He was panting, he must've ran to catch up with me. "For someone so short you do walk fast." I punched his arm and scoffed. He smiled as I just kept walking. He walked with me, including getting our shovels and breakfast. I said it already and I'll say it again: I quite enjoyed what they served in the morning. He kept asking me questions like "Who do you like?" or "Who do you find most attractive?" I rolled my eyes at his stupid questions. I knew he was only asking them to get a rise out of me, and he knew it was working. "Why's it any of your business?" I asked him. I looked up to him, to which he was already looking at me. He raised his hands in the air. "Hey, I'm just curious." I chuckled a little to his response. His questions did get me thinking. I mean, sure. Some people in the camp were attractive, but I hadn't had any crushes. 

We got to our new spots to dig our holes and I got started straight away. Although everyone was talking to each other, I didn't engage. Soon, the stars that were once in the sky went and the hot sun came out. It was another hot day so again no questions were asked about the top half. I soon realised that it was hotter than it should've been because of my t - shirt. It picked up heat a lot more than any other t -shirt I owned. As I kept digging, I realised it got hotter. I had a sports bra underneath, which was also black. (I don't know if you can tell, but I really like the colour black.) 'I am not about to take off my shirt right now' One thought came in my head. 'But it's soo hot. I don't think anyone would mind.' Another came in.  "Screw it..." I mumbled under my breathe. I took off my shirt and put it aside. I continued to dig when I could feel eyes on me. I turned to face my head up only to be met with pairs of them staring at me. In fact, everyone from Tent D was staring at me. I felt uncomfortable to see everyone staring at me, but I didn't put my shirt back on to solve the problem. 

It was too hot for it anyways, I would've had a heat stroke if I hadn't taken off the shirt. I continued to dig, not really caring about the staring anymore. I just focused on getting my hole done before I could get anymore sunburnt. About 10 minutes after, I finished my hole with struggle. I laid down and drank what was left in my canteen. Although there wasn't much, I wanted to savour each droplet that came onto my tongue. I stood up, put my shirt back on and left. I didn't want anyone else to see me in only my sports bra at the camp so it was my only option really. I grabbed a towel, my clean jumpsuit and made my way over to the Wardens cabin. I was about to knock when she opened the door. "Ah Chase, I've been expecting you to come." 'Weird, but ok' I thought. I nodded politely and made my way to the shower. I was getting dressed after the short shower I had and thought about what Caveman was talking about this morning. Why was he so invested in who I took a liking to? About who I found attractive? 

I soon left and thanked her for letting me use her shower as I did everyday. I went to my tent and laid down on my cot. I felt tired but didn't want to sleep. I soon got bored from having no one to entertain me so I got out some paper, and pen, and started to draw. Well more doodling than ever. I've always loved drawing, however I was never good at it. I started to draw an eye, but messed up a part. I rolled my eyes and made it into a ball. I threw it on my cot and started again. After loads of try's... I still couldn't get it right. I stopped, knowing that today was not the day I would succeed in drawing, as is every other day. Suddenly, someone came in the tent. It was Caveman. He looked just as shocked as I did. He came to where I was sitting, and silence fell upon us. It wasn't awkward, just a very uncomfortable silence. He scooted over more to my direction and I moved back away.  I stood up to leave but he grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. My eyes were wide as he pulled the top of my jumpsuit down to where our faces were almost touching. As much as Caveman was a nice guy, I didn't really feel that way about him in that moment. I got out of his grip and left, somewhat feeling bad. I made my way to the Wreck room since I didn't wanna deal with that situation. I walked in to see all the tents, including mine. I walked over to where the D Tent was sitting and sat down on an empty chair. They all watched me sit down, to which I just shrugged it off. Soon, Caveman came walking in, and all our eyes followed his every move.
