Everyone looked at her. "Do what?" they asked.
"I can't, you know, be nice. My job is to give people an attitude, that's just who I am," she said.
"Listen Neens, you're nice to us, so just pretend or something," Tracy told her.
Nina looked at her for a second and shrugged her shoulders. "Okay, works for me," she said, continuing to walk.
***Later that day***
"You actually want me to sleep on this thing?" Claire asked, attempting to touch a bunk.
"Yeah, we sleep on them all the time. They're perfectly fine," Lance said, running a hand through his hair.
"Geez, have you guys ever heard of a little thing called a dustbuster?" Alaina said, wiping her finger along a counter top.
"Oh, I'm sorry. What were we thinking, we should have cleaned for our guests," Joey said, looking at Chris.
Chris took his sleeve and ran it across the dust. "All clean," he said, laughing.
"If I have to sleep anywhere, I'm sleeping here. This is the only bunk that smells halfway decent," Alaina said, throwing her pocketbook on the mattress.
"I don't think so. That would be my bunk," Justin said.
"Um, correction, don't you mean my bunk?" Alaina said, trying to force a smile.
Justin faked a smile back at her. "No, this is my bunk," he said again.
"Okay, you two, break it up," Anna said, separating them.
"Okay, well, there are only eight bunks and there just so happens to be ten of us, which means two people will have to double up," Nina said.
"Oh no. I am not doubling up with him," Alaina said.
"Well, I don't want to bunk with you either," he said right back.
"Whatever, we can discuss this later. JC wants everyone to go to that room in the back," Anna said, pointing to a connecting door.
************
"Okay JC, what's up?" Chris asked, sitting down.
"Well, I think that if we are going to live with each other, we should at least know a little bit about each other, don't you think? Okay, we'll go around in a circle. Stand up, say your name, and tell us something about you," JC said, pointing to Alaina.
"Hello. My name is Alaina and I'm an alcoholic," she said.
Everyone laughed but JC. "That wasn't very funny," he said.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't resist," she laughed.
Everyone told a little about themselves and talked the rest of the night. They finally got to bed about 2 AM.
"Justin, your elbow's in my side," Alaina said, pushing his elbow.
"Well, maybe your side's in the way of my elbow space," he said.
"Elbow space? That's a good one," she laughed.
Justin started to laugh once he realized how dumb it sounded. "What would you like me to do?" he asked.
"Well, if you, wait move this, hold on and keep your arm up here," Alaina said, trying to position himself perfectly. Justin now had his one arm around her as she laid on his chest. "Okay, if you try one thing, I swear to God I'll kill you. I know Taebo, even if it is the only thing I learned in gym. If you put on move on me, so help me God," she said. Justin just smiled.
****************
"I can't believe I get stuck with you," Nina said, referring to her bunk buddy Tracy.
"Oh, and I'm just as thrilled as you are. I'd so much rather be with Joey right now," Tracy grumbled.
"I can't believe JC yelled at Alaina and Justin and told them to bunk together as punishment. Punish me god-dammit," Nina said, taking the blanket.
"Hey, I want some of that," Tracy said, pulling the blanket back. The two girls fought back and forth until Tracy let out a loud scream and fell to the floor.
"Holy shit Trace, that had to be the funniest thing I've ever seen," Nina said, holding her side as she laughed.
"Are you okay?" Joey asked.
"Yeah, I guess," Tracy blushed.
"Why don't you bunk with me?" Joey suggested.
Tracy turned and gave Nina a smile. "I hate you," Nina whispered.
"I know. Too bad you can't bunk with JC, poor baby," Tracy laughed.
