I'm dragged out of the comfort of my dreams by the sound of the whistle. It's time for another day of eating slop and digging holes. I look down at my hands, which are covered in blisters and wince. This is already getting old. I pull myself out of bed and slip back into my orange jumpsuit before setting out to dig yet another hole.

Throughout the day, Zigzag flirted with me, and Squid stayed as far away from me as possible. I guess that's the new normal now. I can't lie, though. I have enjoyed hanging out with Zigzag and the other boys. They've even given me my own nickname, which, not surprising, is Stabby. Great. It's not my fault my reflexes made me stab X-ray with a fork when he tried to take my bread... I guess it kind of is. Oh well, it's better than Armpit.
Although the other boys call me Stabby, Zigzag refuses and calls me Darling, and I can't lie, whenever I hear him say that I just get shivers all over my body and an immense heat between my thighs... He knows what he's doing to me. He enjoys watching me melt every time he speaks.

I crawl my way through dinner and force down the mush they call food. Halfway through eating, though, I get a little hot and remove the top half of my jumpsuit revealing the white shirt I'm wearing, which might I add, is about 2 sizes too small. All the boys don't even acknowledge this and just continue eating. All except Squid. I notice out of the corner of my eye that his face turns a deep shade of red, and he shuffles around in his seat. I hear a low groan, so I look over, making direct eye contact with him. The second our eyes met, he stood up and left.
Odd.

I'm actually attempting my first shower since I've been here. This should be interesting. I don't know who designed these showers, but they were clearly not made for girls. Of course they weren't, I'm not even supposed to be here. The cubicle walls only cover the bottom half of me. Shit. What am I supposed to do?
I really don't want to have to do this, but there's no other way this is going to work. I head back to D-Tent and explain the situation.
STANLEY: A couple of us could stand around holding some bed sheets up?
The boys jumped at that idea and immediately started pulling the sheets off of their beds. They genuinely are the sweetest. I've had a couple of disturbing looks from some of the boys from other tents, but I got so lucky with these boys...
Stanley, Zigzag, X-Ray, and Magnet all follow me out to the showers holding sheets. I waited until it was dark and the other boys were already in their tents to reduce the risk of someone seeing me. I get in the shower, fully clothed, and the boys hold the sheets up. I get undressed and throw my clothes out of the shower. I throw my bra out, and I can hear one of the boys groan. Sounds like X-ray. My face heats up. Shit. Probably shouldn't have done that. I turn on the water and get my freezing cold shower.

After a minute and a half (yes, that's as long as you get to shower before the water turns off), I get changed and step out. I thank the boys, and they smile at me before we head back to our tent.
