Stealing wasn’t exactly something Gigi did. Well, she’d never done it before. Not even a piece of gum or a quarter or anything. Her dad was a cop, she’d had it engrained in her from a very young age that stealing was wrong and criminals went to jail and she really didn’t want to go to jail, especially not because of something that happened at summer camp. But her current options were: become a thief, or have her underwear (and bra!!!) run up the flagpole for everyone to see. Jail would probably be more merciful.
At least she wasn’t alone — she had a partner in crime, oh god, this was the start of her slippery slope. Stupid Delia had threatened her and El with the same thing if they didn’t sneak into the Robin cabin and steal Bastian’s hoodie. Because Stupid Delia was weird and gross and kind of obsessed with him, and also had the ways and means to steal their unmentionables and show everyone at the whole entire camp. She was the worst.
“Okay, okay,” Gigi whispered, pressed up against the side of the cabin, wearing the darkest clothes she’d brought — not wanting to freak out El by going all symbiotic on her, and also not knowing if she’d be able to pull it back when she wanted. It was still tricky. “So we go in, one of us can keep watch, the other one look for it, in and out fast as we can. Good?”
