I woke up rubbing my eyes. I felt tired, but I don't want Chris to wake up. I looked down to still see DJ still seeping.

"Is he crying in his sleep?" I mumbled.

"Argh! Mattie! Meet me at the a PA theater in five minutes and I'll tell you about today's challenge!" Chris said.

I got up and walked to the theater. I sat down next to DJ.

"Hey D" DJ said.

"Hey D. Hehe." I said.

Me and DJ started calling each other D, since both of our names both start with the letter D.

"Well, my little scalawags, have we got an adventure in store for ye." Chris said. Then his parrot fell off his shoulder.

"What's under the sheet?" Geoff asked.

"On a good time, laddie! Who here has a hankering for a good Ole fashioned treasure hunt? Now this treasure hunt's got a twist, mate's. What you're looking for isn't hidden, and it isn't treasure." Chris said.

Of course. I knew it was to good to be true.

" If there's no treasure, then what's with the eye patch and the plastic parrot? " Duncan asked.

" Argh! Shiver me timbers, good question, me boy. You're looking for keys a treasure chest. Inside each of these chest's is a treasure that will pamper you land lovers. And, one of these chest, will give you invincibility! Now come round and pull a card out of this bucket, or you'll have to walk the plank. " Chris said.

I picked up a card. It looks like the boat we take during the dock of shame. I ran over and seen the boat. I seen a case with a lock on it. I have to put in three numbers. I seen a paper next to it. I picked it up and read it.

I began putting in random numbers. Think Derrick think. I got out my phone. I type in "When is Chris McLain's Birthday?" I typed in the date and it opened.

Of course this would be the combination.

I picked up my key and walked away. That was easier than I thought. I walked went into the kitchen to see Heather trying to get her key. She didn't notice I was here. I seen a spoon on the floor. I threw it at chef to wake him up. He then began chasing her.

I left out of the room and went to the forest. I seen DJ in a tree.

"DJ! What are you doing?" I said.

"I'm trying to get the key off the tree, but the bird keeps making it shake." DJ said.

"I'll help you." I said. I picked up a few rocks and. Start throwing rocks at the bird. The bird flew away. DJ was about to get his key but his branch broke. He fell off. I caught him bridle style. I could feel a blush coming on.

"You okay?" I said.

"Yeah. Thanks you" DJ said.

"No problem." I said putting him down and picking up his key and handing it to him.

/"Okay. How is it that I can catch him. But I can't do a push up? And I'm pretty sure he's. Heavier then me."/

"Wow. Your a lot stronger than you look."

"Second time you said that to me." I said.

Then Leshawna came running to us.

"Guys..." She said panting out of breath. "Heather and Trent are two timing." I nodded to what she said..

/"Trent's cheating on Gwen?. Wow.. And Gwen was just telling me about how she wanted to go out with him. But that doesn't seem like Trent." /

"Alright, campers, meet me at the campfire in then. And bring your keys" Chris said.

Me and DJ made our way there with our keys. "Argh, it be time to claim yer treasure." Chris said. "Those fortunate enough to beard a precious key, come forth with it." My key managed to open one. It had color pencils, a coloring book and markers. Not bad.

"I hope everyone got the treasure they were looking for, and more." Chris said. 

I went back to the cabin and just began coloring in the coloring book. I was coloring in a sunflower. I heard the door open. I glanced to see Duncan coming in, but I just continued to color.

" What are you, a third grader?"Duncan said. I was just ignoring him. He then snatched the color is was coloring with. I just looked at him with this "Dead inside" look. I just continued to stare at him wanting my marker back.

"If you want your marker back come and get it." Duncan said. I just stared him dead in the eye. Then looked back at my book and flipped to a different page and began coloring with a different color. He then attempted to take my marker, but I moved my hand back for he couldn't grab it. He then snatched my hat.

"So are you gonna come get your hat?"

"Why should I have to obtain something that belongs to me?" I said.

"You're weird."

"I know."

"Your a freak. Your not important to this world. So go kill yourself."

"Tried that. Didn't work. And apparently I am important because your taking out time for me."

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

He threw my hat on the floor and the markers and walked out the cabin. I picked up my hat and put it back on. I shut my eyes and blink my tears back. I look to see Trent walk in. It looked like he was upset.

"Trent. You Okay?"

"I don't know. I'm a little confused about Gwen."

"I'm honestly just glad that Duncan left. He's really getting on my nerves. Ever since Harold left. He picked me as his next target. But what happened? I thought you and Gwen were a thing."

"We were. Until I figured out that she just sees me as a cliche."

"Who told you that?"

"Heather. Why do you ask?"

/"Does this guy not see her secret schemes? He was on her team right?"/

"Look, Gwen really likes you."

"How would you know that?"

"Because. When Chef forced us to cleaned the bathroom, we became friends. She talked about you a lot. Heather is trying to tear you two apart."

It looks like he was taking in what I said. He then gave a smile.

"You really think that Gwen likes and sees me the same way that I see her?" Trent said

"I know so." 

"Thanks man."

"Your welcome."

"Have you ever considered being a therapist?"

"No, not particularly."

"Oh. Maybe you should."

"Hm. Maybe I will."

After talking to Trent, I stayed in the cabin until the sunset. I walked to the campfire pit and sat down next to DJ.

"And now the moment we all been waiting for, the moment of truth. Marshmallow time! You know the routine, whoever doesn't get a marshmallow, it's curtains for you! Izzy,Geoff,Gwen,Leshawna,Lindsay,Bridgette,DJ,Duncan,Derick,Owen! Marshmallows for the lots of ya! sorry dude you're out" Chris said.

Man, and I was actually starting to consider Trent a friend.

"That's right, take your two-timing ways back to where you came from!" Leshawna said.

"What? But I thought I was getting along so well with everybody?" Trent said

"I guess you were wrong" Heather said

"You don't even care,do you?" Gwen said.

" Most likely not" I mumbled under my breath.

"Why do you care? You think I'm a cliche."

I kinda felt bad for them. I got up and left. I was a bit tired so I went to sleep.

I shocked awake in the middle of the night. I rubbed my eyes and put on my glasses. I went out for a walk and sat on the ground. I picked up some flowers and smelled them.

I never seen this part of the forest. I began decorating. After a few hours, I went back to the guy's cabin and went to sleep.

AN: Hi everyone,  merry christmas,  and I wish you all the best new years. Sorry I couldn't post in a while. School is getting rough, and anxiety for projects. Anyway, hoped you enjoy, see you guys next year.
