Meet The New Kid

        I sighed walking back to camp with Magnet, Zigzag, and Squid. Done our digging for the day. The other's still behind to finish their shoveling. 

"I'm so bored." I whined, dragging the shovel behind me.

"You're always bored though, Red." 

"True.. But I'm reeally bored now." 

"We can go to the rec room, when we get back."

"And do what?" I asked bluntly, since there wasn't much to do.

"I don't know, foos ball? Pool? Bowling? Or just watch tv..?" Magnet started listing the options as I leaned around the others, giving him a bored look. 

"So boring.. I think it's my turn to get in a fight. Hey Magnet.. " I grinned at the boy, causing him to look at me like I was crazy.

"No! Fight Zigzag! He's the one that hit you." I looked at Zigzag, him sending a glare at Magnet.

"I didn't mean too! And I already apologized for that." 

"Yeah, well if Zero don't come back alive, it won't mean squat there, bud." 

"Ooohh." The others chorused out, laughing at the end of it. Zigzag sent looks to the others before looking to me.

"He's gonna be okay." He said, trying to reassure. I hummed at him mockingly as we made our way into camp. Putting our shovels back, we headed towards the rec room, hopefully to find something entertaining to do. We walked there, seeing mom outside of it. He gestured to a boy beside him. He was younger then us, twitching every so often. I raised a brow at him, not recognizing his face before.

"Great timing, boys, and Lillian.." He said, saying my name sarcastically. I gave him a sarcastic smile in return as the boys chuckled out.

"Mommy dearest." I replied, sickly sweet. He narrowed his eyes, before looking back at the boy smiling.

"This here is Brian. He'll be in D-tent. Zero's old bed. Give him the grand ol' tour huh? Uhh, Squid, you be his mentor." He instructed, passing the boy over to Squid. Squid grinned down at the boy, more than likely feeling superior. 

"You're already giving his bed away!" I yelled stepping towards mom.

"Now, Lillian. Make sure you're nice to the new kid." He smiled at me, nodding to Brian and left. Totally ignoring me. I growled at him, walking to go after him but one of the others pulled my shoulder back gently. 

"Let it go, Red." I turned back as Zigzag took his hand off my shoulder, looking at the new kid as he only stared at me. I tried ignoring it.

"At least you won't be bored now, huh? We get to show the new kid around." Squid joked as he bumped shoulders with. I gave him an unimpressed look, sucking my teeth.

"Fine, let's go." I exhale.

"There's the rec room." Squid started, pointing behind the kid to the cabin.

"Over there's the mess hall." He stated pointing to the other cabin further away. He started walking off, the rest of us close behind. We soon got to the tent and made our way in. 

"And that's uh.. that's your cot." He gestures, pointing to Zero's old cot as he sends me a careful glance.

"Well, that was fun, goodbye." I wave, walking away. Magnet stopped me, putting an arm around my shoulder.

"Who's Zero?" The kid then asked. I turned to  the others, them looking back cautiously. Them not sure what to say. I rolled my eyes at them, turning to look back at the younger boy.
