Technically speaking, with Bailey's no-details-disclosed public dispute with me, I no longer qualified as a nobody. Looking around the cabin, I decide... not to go find the Retreat coordinator. If they were going to give me my own cabin, then fuck it! I tossed my stuff on the cot and checked out the wood stove to make sure my ass wasn't going to freeze at night.Our school had a very generous endowment to be spent in bullying prevention and trying to make high school not so high-schoolish for. But soon I was navigating my way through a crowd.It had been a while since I danced anywhere. The last time it had been with Jason Cross's girlfriend at a school dance. It was after my mom had gotten sick, but one of the last times I could remember actually getting out on my own and having a really good time. Jason had refused to dance with the girl--Danielle--and she'd recruited me. Later, she'd named me her little freak, much to Jason's chagrin. I still had mixed feelings about that. That they only bullied me because they really just wanted to suck each other’s cocks.I bet they were doing that right now.So I knew I could fix my family now. It was a shame my younger sister Krystal wasn’t home. She was over at her friend Ji-Yun’s house. I didn’t blame Krystal for wanting to stay as far away from our family as much as possible. But it meant I couldn’t give her any instructions during this period of frozen time.Memory of Krystal’s and Ji-Yun’s asses from this morning as they. When the scientists came, they would bring toilets with them, and that would make his outhouse redundant. No telling what would happen to the things Jasmine had brought in her rolling cases. Fuck it. Digging out shelves is just a little work, and working with her is ... fun. Might as well enjoy being around her as long as I can, he finished, pragmatically.Later, he had over-dug one end of a shelf and had to fill it back in. Get your mind off her, he told himself. Falling in love with her is.
