We sat down on the couches near the right corner of the room as we entered. There was one girl sitting there by herself. She was smoking (of course!) and she looked like she had been dragged into a basement by some kidnappers and starved for many weeks. Shannon looked over at us and whispered,"That's Dina. Don't judge her sickness. It just makes it even worse. Don't even stare at her teeth when she smiles. She's very sensitive." Dina flashed her teeth at us. They were a dark yellow almost brown color, and her gums look like that they had dried blood on the bridges between the teeth and gum lines. I figured either she was that bad of a smoker, or she purges herself. Looking at her bony physique and how thin she really was, I knew she had some serious eating disorders. I wasn't really grossed out by the way she looked. I was more....concerned. I've heard about people like this, but never really met people like her. It's different. It's like reading about odd mythical creatures or hearing old legends told by campfire. It's different hearing about them by ear, than seeing them in the flesh. Dina looked at us and asked,"New kid, huh?" I looked at her nervously and said,"Yeah. Just got here today." "Boyfriend?" "Oh, no! Brother. People ask me that all the time." "Oh. Sorry. It's just that, you guys have like the same eye and similar hair color, but you're shorter and look more like a teen, while he looks more of his age." "Yeah, people always check my I.D and everything whenever I go somewhere." "I knew a guy like that. He hated it. Being short, cute, and younger looking. But people strive to look younger nowadays, so it's probably a good thing." There was a slight moment of awkwardness, until a light haired brunette girl walked in. I didn't notice Shannon looking away, or Dina hiding her face. The girl walked over to us and said,"Hey new girlie. I'm Janice. Saw you and this hottie guy walk in here with Bea." She sat down, as she pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Dina scooted away from her from the other end as Janice said,"Aw, what's the matter Moo? Don't like me?" "Don't call me Moo. I had to answer your phone call today." "What do you mean? I never get phone calls." "It was a call from Alfred Hitchock. He wants you in his next Psycho movie playing the lead role." Shannon started giggling, as Janice ignored her. Janice looked at me and asked,"That's your brother, right?" "Yeah, why?" "May I get acquainted with him?" "Okay." She looked at him and said,"I bet Heaven misses you." "Why?" "Cuz honey, you're their most precious fallen angel. Would it be sinful if you gave me one night of Heaven? Sock on the door, unzipping jeans, sweat-" "Janice, please! Shut up! Okay? That's really rude to say to someone that you don't know. I mean, his sister is right there hearing everything. I don't think she wants to here you talking about scarring poor Iah to death." Shannon said outraged by Janice's crude comments. "You're name's Iah? Damn. Sexy name for such a sexy angel. Are you a virgin?" "Janice! Go away! That's private! Virgin or no virgin, he's not going to tell you about his sex life or anything. That's rude! Go hit on a male orderly or something." "Aw, but they're no fun!They all have short hair, dull eyes, all smelly from sweat. They're not built, have great hair, or turn me on just by taking a second glance at 'em." Looking at Iah, he seemed very embarrassed and peeved. Could you blame him? This insane woman is hitting on him and being very crude about it. Shannon looked at him and said,"I'm sorry. Janice is just really rude about things. She won't stay long, I swear." Janice stayed for a few more minutes, looking at him.
We went back into our room after taking our sleeping meds. After we got ready for bed, Shannon, Iah and I stayed awake for a while. Janice walked in there when we weren't looking and said,"I can't believe you took half of her room." "Shit! Janice, you scared the f-k out of me!" I yelled at her. "I'm like Catwoman from Batman. Sneeky dark haired hottie in black leather! Meow! But what I was saying, you're in Violet's bed." Shannon started having tears in her eyes, as Iah asked,"Who's Violet?" Janice had a seriously sad look on her face and said,"My best friend. A real sweetheart. Never did anything wrong. She was injured as a victim, became insane as a victim, and died as a victim. People think it's my fault, but it isn't." There was a slight pause until Janice yawned and said,"Oh well, goodnight! Oh and Iah, if you feel restless tonight at all, I have my own bedroom to myself if you ever need it." She winked at him as she closed the door. Iah groaned slightly and asked,"Why does she like me?" Shannon looked at him and explained,"Because of how you are. You're beautiful, sweet, and sane. Janice is sick and doesn't know what she really wants. You don't need her. She's a major flirt and so crude about it." "Yeah, but I don't like her. I think I like someone else." "Who?" "Can't tell. Not yet, anyway." I rolled my eyes, as I rolled over and went to sleep. Earlier, Iah didn't even wanna look at a crazy girl, now I think he likes one. This is going to be a long week for sure.

"Good by danny," I said kissing him on the cheek one last time."we may not see each other again but I will remember you." for the past week danny and i have been dating on a crusie. (sorry spelling? my mind is not working today.)We both knew the day would come when we would not be able to see each other. Now it had come. I hugged him and walked down the gang plank.

I went to the camp I had worked at for two years now. It was all so familar when I bummed into my best friend Max. He reminded me off Danny. But when ever I saw danny he reminded me of him. Was it max who I really liked and not danny? There's only one way to find out "max?" I said to him "What?" he said. "Da ya think we could..... like go to a movie or somthing?" "sure!" he said. And we had a great time.
