Total Drama Summer Camp (iv.)

"I don't think I ever talked to him."

"He was okay, kind of rude, though."

"Wasn't a threat, he needed to be kicked off."

"I wish you were kicked off."

"I wish you would-"

"Drew," Silena sighs, lounging across her bunk. "This isn't the time."

The girl balks a little but stubbornly crosses her arms. "It's good he's gone, one less Blue to fight."

"But if we keep beating Blue, we'll have to fight each other."

They look around, eying each other warily. The Red girls are all so different but all so strong; the biggest threat they have are themselves. Most know better to pretend to be friendly, but there are a few who...don't see it that way. It sets the team on edge and the tension can only rise the closer they get to an elimination threat.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Drew throws back the cover of her sleeping bag.

"It's fun to watch them fight."

They crane to look out Annabeth's window, watching the Blue team argue with each other with bemusement. The whole team is crammed in the boys room and it doesn't seem to be a spacious venture. It's a little hard to see around Percy as he sits in his bed, but the chaos is better heard than seen anyway. A muffled accusation shoots to their room and Annabeth smirks, scooting down in her sleeping bag.

"It was risky," Drew sniffs. "Giving him that flag and all."

"It worked out and I'll get it back."

"Not if I don't steal it first," Clarisse growls.

Annabeth rolls her eyes and calls for someone to hit the lights.

In the other cabin, Beckendorf glances out the window as it winks dark, but he's quickly drawn back into the fight when the orange flag shoots across the room.

"Will you stop it?"

"Oh, you don't want it anymore?"

"I'm telling you I have no idea how it got in my bed," Percy balls up the flag and tosses it to the floor. "Why is this even a big deal?"

Travis shakes his head with a small laugh. "You would ask that, I thought we had a deal."

"Funny you say that, as you apparently kept the flag from us to begin with."

"Not fair, that was before-"

"It doesn't matter," Piper groans, stretching across Ethan's empty bunk. "Lying is how you play the game, get over it."

"But he-"

"We have to win tomorrow," she continues. "Red has two more people and twice the arrogance."

Katie sits up with drawn eyebrows. "Couldn't we use that against them?"

"How?" Frank leans his head on the wall. "They have the skills to back up that arrogance."

"They aren't gods, they're gonna mess up."

"Plus," Beckendorf looks up from his elbows on knees slouch. "We were seconds behind each time."

"But some people think revenge and pranks are more important."

"Are you seriously shading me right now?" Travis says with wide eyes. "Because I'm not the one flirting with the enemy!"

Percy looks back from the window, plunging back into the argument with an indignant, "Hey-"

"I can't even look at you," he storms across the room. "You disgust me."
