       The morning alarm went off causing all of us to groan and trudge out of bed sluggardly as we so often do. I sat on the side of my bed, ignoring the others, hands over my eyes, too tired to get up yet.

"Better get a move on, Red."

"At this rate you'll be the last one ready." I pulled my hands away seeing the others getting dressed as they tried to get me moving. I tried not glancing at Zigzag, as he was only in boxers. I pulled my arms behind me trying to stretch before finally pulling my clothes on. I quickly got dressed and made it in line behind the others, Caveman being the last one to get ready.

"See not the last one." I smirked at Squid.

"Yeah, yeah." He joked as we made our way to get our shovels and breakfast.

"Let's go! No sleeping faces!" Mr Sir yelled at us. I groaned leaning on the person in front of me, thinking it was Magnet. I yawned into the person's back as they slightly turned back.

"Can't sleep now Red, time for work." Zigzag joked. My eyes widen, averting them up to meet his.

"Oops my bad." He gave a small laugh before stepping forward in line grabbing a shovel, he handed one back to me, to which I thanked him for. We made our way to the tortillas and each grabbing one, walking over to the others after. We started our long tip to the digging site, starting as soon as we get there.


   It was so freaking hot! Today was probably the worst day so far, the heat was so overbearing I almost couldn't take it anymore. I stabbed my shovel into the dirt harshly, panting out. 

"It's so hot!" I yelled glaring at the sun. I had already undid my jumper having it wrapped around my waist, leaving me in a plain white t-shirt. I couldn't take it though, and decided to just take off the shirt as well, leaving me in the sports bra even though I felt slightly embarrassed being exposed in front of the boys.. okay so Zigzag but still. I heard one or two of them whistle, only adding to the consciousnesses.

"Yeah, take it off, girl." I snapped my gaze to Magnet and glared at him.

"Shut it, boy, you're already on my shit list." I point.

"Why 'cause I know your dirty little secret?" He taunted, as the others suddenly stopped and turned to him. 

"I'm sorry, her what?" Armpit turned to him in a stupify.

"Yo, you gotta share with the rest of us, man." X calls out.

"Secrets don't make friends!" Squid yells out childishly. Magnet looked around before turning back to me.

"Oh, come on, Red. They're curious." He grins.

"Yeah, well, curiosity killed the cat!" I retorted, causing the others to react with humor.

"Hey, Magnet. What's the secret though, man?" Zigzag inquires, leaning closer to him. The others leaning in hopes of hearing the two's private conversation.

"Magnet, if you value your life.. you'll keep your mouth shut." His eyes bounce between us before turning to Zigzag.

"Sorry, man, my life means more then telling everyone wh-"

"Magnet!" I exclaim before he could finish, my eyes wider than Zigzag's most of the time.

"No, no. What was that??" I turned to Zigzag as he looked between Magnet and I this time.

"He don't know what he's talking about." I say drinking from my water. Trying to play off my previous freak out.

"Actually my math was pretty spot on, Red." Magnet said proudly this time. I pulled my bottle back, almost choking on the water.
