The StrangerĀ is standing in the middle of the quad, dressed inappropriately for the weather in a raincoat, his hands on his belt buckle, waiting for the kids to assemble.
TatiĀ waited by the quad, her hair tied up in a ponytail and her arms folded across her chest as she tilted her chin with a wicked smile as the group gathered. āHello campers.ā Going to usher Zac to her side, she swallowed a bit. āToday will consist of two challenges. One will be a tradition of the island, well of Fiji, really. It used to be an initiation into different tribesā¦think of it as an initiation into your recovery here. To really being focused on it.ā Clearing her throat, she sighed. āAlice, Noah, and Asherā¦front and center.ā Will also take Santana if she shows up.Ā 21:27
TatiĀ āThe rest line up with Zac please.āĀ 21:27
He was taunting you with something you know damn well is the....
I forgot, it's no use to argue a point with someone who thinks they're up so much higher than everybody else. Keep using that white shirt as a pedestal sweetheart, it's cool. I got your number.
LaurenĀ waited a few hours before she sat up in the medic tent's cot. Frankly, she wanted to get the hell out of the tent. Pain killers had been administered, as well as a cold compress and some type of weird cream on her back so it wouldn't infect her. Sitting in the bed, feeling a hell of a lot better and not as hot or as close to passing out, she looked him over. "You don't have to stay here anymore if you don't want...or are you hiding from being double teamed by Chris and Simon?"Ā 21:55
LaurenĀ patted the bed to get his attention and scoot over a little as she looked him over with a snort. "Gross." Muttering out easily before looking over her arm. "I feel better than I'm sure Roxy does." Speaking out pointedly as she shrugged. "Honestly it was worth it...making the white shirts look like idiots...I'd totally do it again." Looking him over with a soft smile before she shrugged. "I'm sure, but I'll do it without bitching about it..they're so not getting to me."Ā 22:03
PuckĀ turned away from the jar completely to focus all of his attention on her. "Pfft, please, like you ain't doing the same thing." His head tipped to the side and he nodded slowly. "Yeah, I heard about that, giant boy says him and Rox have been getting it on a lot.... she pay for it pretty bad?" He grinned immediately with her words. "Priceless, no one will ever top it." He laughed setting on the edge of the bed. "Good, power to the people and all that shit."Ā 22:07
LaurenĀ furrowed her brow and looked a little taken aback by his words. "Doing what?" Questioning him easily and almost daringly before she sat up in bed, letting the slightest wince play over her face as she stopped moving, breathing out and making a face. "Yikes...think he's tellin' the truth?" Smirking lightly as she laughed and went to reach for his hand, patting it. "You're a pain in the ass Puckerman...but thanks. You were followin' Emily's orders and shit, but it was cool to 'escort' me to the med tent."Ā 22:10
PuckĀ "Undressing me with your eyes whenever we're together." He responded quickly without even thinking about it. His attention was on her now completely before shrugging. "Dunno, but the dumbass told the Hot-Lopez, so I guess we'll find out soon enough, right?" He looked to his hand when she patted it but looked back up to her. "Escort you? Please, you were helping me! That girl, Chris slaps real hard, practically rattled my brain and I think she broke a nail and shit."Ā 22:13
LaurenĀ "You're lucky I can't get the hell outta this bed just yet Puckerman...but when I do.." Narrowing her eyes at him immediately before she furrowed her brow at his words. "Tatiana?" She thought for a moment before laughing out and rolling her eyes, motioning with one finger to bring his mohawked little head to herself. "Fine you whiny baby, let's see if Christina did any damage."Ā 22:18
PuckĀ "You're supposed to be resting or something." He quickly cut her off, not really wanting to hear the rest of the threat. His head nodded when she spoke the name. "Yeah, that one." Pointing to her after snapping his fingers. He warily moved toward her when she motioned him forward, half-expecting to be beat on. "Christina.. I wonder if she sings."Ā 22:33
LaurenĀ "Bite me." Snapping back but with an amused look on her face as she tilted her head to the side and shook her head. She waited for him to move forward before her fingers slowly probed over his cranium, pulling him halfway into her lap. "I don't see any outside damage...he probably cost you a few brain cells though." Her fingers moved over his jawline slowly, watching to see if he winced and laughed at his words. "You should find out, see if she'll sing for ya."Ā 22:38
PuckĀ "If you really want me to, I guess I could." He shrugged to her gently with a smile on his face before his head was yanked down. "So I still have my beauty?" He grinned questioning her, making a face when she started over his face and instantly yanking free of his lap. "I don't know if I want to get within kissing distance."Ā 22:42
LaurenĀ "Is that so?" Again daring him, but this time a slight tease before she laughed at him, noting his wince as her fingers ran over his jaw line and she made a face to his words. "I wouldn't go that far." Smirking smugly before he yanked free from her lap and cocked a brow. "From me or Christina Anderson?"Ā 22:45
PuckĀ "Totally so. So just say pretty please and I'll start the chomping." He snapped his jaw at her to prove his point, still smiling proudly. "So I'm definitely still hot shit is what you're saying here." He smirked smartly and lifted a brow. "Christina. She looks like she could have teeth down there if you know what I mean."Ā 22:47
LaurenĀ "Even with a hurt jaw like that?" Cocking a brow and going to poke at it some with a smirk before scoffing out and shaking her head. "Like I said..let's not go that far." Placing her hands in her lap, she frowned out. "I so didn't mean you could make her sing in that way, Puckerman."Ā 22:50
PuckĀ "My jaw ain't hurt. He kicked me in the gut, like eight times, but my jaw's pretty set." He grinned her way while he sat straight up again, gently pulling at his newly altered black shirt he stared at her for a long minute. "What? What other way is there?" He looked around and then back to her slowly. "Is there another way?"Ā 22:53
LaurenĀ "So you probably broke a few ribs." Smirking a little before tilting her head to the side and almost face palming when he spoke. "I meant like some kind of beat him into the ground way..I mean, like he did to you." Snorting out, she brought her hand painfully up to hair to move it from her face with a light wince and breathed out softly.Ā 23:01
PuckĀ "Doubt it, he kicks like a bitch." He shrugged again, once more wit ha smile while he watched her. He shook his head. "Nah, I do that and I'll probably be serving some time or something in those ranky ass pits." His nose scrunched as he spoke but looked to her when she set her hand down. "So how you doin' super woman?"Ā 23:06
LaurenĀ "Good to know." Grinning lightly, she moved to lean forward some, she cocked a brow at him before sighing out. "That's bullshit." Breathing out lightly, her hand moved to let herself sit up again and looking him over. "I'm fine." Lying through her teeth but seeming way more badass than she really was.Ā 23:21
PuckĀ "Just don't get kicked in the wrong side, right?" He shrugged simply still watching her, his head tipping to the side. "It's possible. It's how things roll around here. Whites beat the shit out of everyone and yellows get to do it to hte blacks." He shrugged laughing at her. "Alright, alright, I'll let you eat your nails for breakfast."Ā 23:42
LaurenĀ "Like the balls?" Cocking a brow but with a smirk before taking in a breath and going to roll her eyes and going to pull him a little closer. "Here's what you're going to do...youĀ 23:45
Lauren: are going to lay with me."Ā 23:45
PuckĀ "Yup... gonna say the boys are not a spot I wanna be kicked in." He shook his head still looking her over with a smile. "Now that sounds like an awesome idea. But you see, I got a callback for The Voice, so I gotta go see Christina and see if she hits her little button and spins around so I can go be famous." He slid off of the side of the bed and grinned, lifting her hand to kiss the back of it. "Stay golden, trooper." He winked to her before ducking out of the tent.Ā 23:52
LaurenĀ "No, I didn't think so." Narrowing her eyes before rolling her eyes and going to laugh a little bit. "Don't die." Muttering out to him and swallowing a little, letting him take her hand and going to smile after him as he left, she looked over her hand and bit her lower lip, laying down on the bed, unwilling to admit her worry for the boy.Ā
