Hey guys SMACbaby here. So here's the lovely sequel to my other holes story Just Another Girl or JAG for short. Hope you enjoy this one and remember to review! Also if you haven't read the other story i think ya should:)
Chapter 1
"So then the rain started coming down, I mean lightning, thunder, the whole shebang. Of course, Squid made me go out in it, by throwing me over his shoulder." I laughed to myself as I folded my hands and looked around the kitchen table. Sitting in front of me was my mom, brother and my sister, who was trying to feed her son and listen to me at the same time. An awkward silence fell upon my family but was broken by my mom.
"You know honey; they found you innocent a couple days after you left. They had a trial and everything." She paused and sighed. "You could have gotten out of there, but…" I pushed myself out of my chair and leapt to my feet. Not that it made much of a height difference.
"WHAT!" I screamed. Well I guess some good came out of staying there right…but I could've avoided all those holes, and I wouldn't have to go to summer school and I wouldn't have…
"Oh sit down drama queen." My brother, Greg, snapped. I gave him the evil eye, and then sat down.
"Honey, I couldn't make the court date because of a scheduling problem at the office, so they had you father go instead." I began to rise out of my seat, furious. "Now before you get all crazy, we tried to get your sister, but she was only 19. She went though. She said that dad told the judge you should stay there, you need to build some character anyways." She paused again, glancing at her two other children for support. They both looked away and she sighed again, loudly. Gee thanks Dad, I see how it is.
"Well I mean, some positive stuff came out of this, I met Squid." I said, shrugging.
"Wait, so are you like seriously going out with him?" Greg asked, wide eyed. He was always a very over protective brother. I nodded my head and smiled.
"I have to meet this kid; you've been home since June." He said under his breath.
"Yes, it's been quite some time now…" I trailed off as I watched Greg's expression grow more intense.
"Cameron Riley Jackson!" My sister wailed. We all snapped our attention over to her. She was covered in the spaghetti o's she was feeding 3 year old Cameron. Everyone started laughing, even Jackie and Cameron. While she went into the kitchen to clean off my mother and Greg started getting into a conversation about his paycheck that we used to pay for our groceries. Mom worked 2 jobs. One was at a doctor's office answering phones from 3pm until 8pm and one at a lost and found in a club from 1am until 5 am. This usually supported us along with my brother's paycheck. My sister worked at a restaurant waiting tables and she needed the money for Cameron and herself. She swears she would have moved out by now if he boyfriend hadn't gotten killed in a drive by. But that was in a whole different area of Texas, so don't worry, I'm in no danger.
My cell phone vibrated frantically in my pocket so I whipped it out and checked the caller id: Squid 3. I flipped it open and walked down the hall to my room.
"Hello there." I said into the phone.
"Hello to you to." Squid replied. "What are you up to?"
"Well I just finished filling the family in on Camp, you?"
"Shorty, we've been home for like months! You wait 'til now to tell them?" He laughed when he said this. I laughed too.
"So how are you doing, you know with your mom and stuff." I knew he had just shrugged and was looking at her passed out on the couch next to him. Well at least that was my guess.
"Eh, same old I guess. Though, I told her about you and she blew up. She was kinda a little drunk. She went frantic wailing her arms around screaming 'ANOTHER WHORE? LIKE YOU HAVEN'T GONE OUT WITH ENOUGH SLUTS! SHE PROBABLLY SLEPT WITH THE WHOLE CAMP!' and blah blah blah." I sighed. That's just great. I'm not slut, thanks very much.
"Want to come over, I mean it's probably better than your house." I could tell he was shrugging again, like I could actually see him.
"Sure I'll be over in just a minute….literally." And he hung up. My mom knocked on my door, even though it was already open.
"I'm going to the office now, I'll see you later." She smiled and left. I sat on my bed and looked up at the ceiling. It was so place, so empty, so lonely. Reminded me of the desert a little bit.
Squid and I sat on my bed talking. He had been over for 2 hours so far, just sitting and talking with me. It was nice, nothing like what happened at Camp. Greg was napping the family room, so I snuck Squid in without Greg freaking out.
"It's weird seeing you in something other than orange." I said, poking his shorts.
"Well it's weird seeing you so…girly." He said, flicking my straightened hair. Over at Camp Green Lake, I never had any beauty products so my hair was always curly and frizzy and it was mostly in pigtails or a ponytail. Now it was straightened smooth and glossy. The sun had given me honey highlights in my dirty blonde hair.
"You mean you don't like this?" I asked pretending to pout, indicating my hair. He shook his head and I laughed.
"You know what I miss the most?" I said, leaning back onto my elbows.
"What?" He asked, he too laying back.
"Your girlish laugh." I teased, smiling. I leaned back and lay on my bed with my stomach to the ceiling.
"Really, well I miss your real laugh." He said, laying flat too. He put his arm under my neck and around my shoulders. I leaned my head onto his shoulder and sighed. It was the last day summer. We had spent it in summer school along with ZigZag making up our junior year and some of their sophomore, which I helped them with.
Next thing I new I was on the floor with Squid… no not like that. Come on people, mind out of the gutters here. He was tickling me uncontrollably and I was screaming for him to stop between laughs.
"Squid…haha…STOP….Hahaha….please…" The door swung open with a loud thud and in the doorway Greg looked down at us with the worst expression ever.
"WHOEVER YOU ARE GET AWAY FROM MY SISTER NOW!" Greg's knuckles were at his side clenched. Squid and I leapt up. Oh boy, protective older brother alert.
"What the hell Greg?" I asked putting my hands on my hips.
"This guy here was trying to kill you! I could hear you screaming from the living room." He glared at Squid, who looked at the floor.
"He was tickling me as a matter oh fact. Greg this is S-Alan." I cringed as I said his name. Alan didn't quite roll off the tongue.
"Who's Alan, the only boy you ever talk about is some Squid guy." Squid looked at me.
"You used our nicknames?" He whispered half to me, half to the floor.
"Yeah…" I whispered back. "Well this is Squid." I said to Greg. His eyebrows rose. "But only camp people can call him that." I added in quickly.
"I see, well then Alan, I'll see you guys around. But I'm warning you…" He walked up to Squid and looked him strait in the eye. "You break her heart or hurt her in any way, you are gonna have to meet with Hunter." He backed away.
"You have another brother?!" Squid whispered to me.
"No." I said, shaking my head. "Hunter is…" Suddenly a fist shot up between Squid and I, cutting me off.
"BAM!" Greg yelled.
"His fist." I finished, coughing at the end. "You do remember that Camp Green Lake was a camp for troubled boys." I saw Greg turn around from walking out of my room.
"Yeah, so." He said from inside my doorway.
"So, the boys were there because they committed crimes, murders and beat up people. I'm tight with a lot of these boys. One MySpace message and they are over here in no time..." I let my voice trail off.
"But D-tent was…" I covered Squids mouth. No way can he ruin this blackmail.
"You don't need to go into details about it, but it was the worst of them all really. EW Gross!" I pulled my hand away from his mouth and he smiled. "You hand licker!" Greg looked at us funny and left.
"Thanks for that." I said sarcastically, wiping my hand on his shirt.
"And thank you for that." He looked at the sleeve I wiped my hand.
"Well sorry but I couldn't just let you say D-tent was nice and didn't commit bad crimes. I mean c'mon where's the threat in that? I mean really." He laughed and I made my way over to my closet.
"So school tomorrow huh." He said, sitting on my bed. I continued to thumb through my closet full of Amercrombie&Fitch, Hollister, and Aeropostale. "What are you doing?"
"Picking out tomorrows outfit. You have to dress the impress my little naïve child." I went over and ruffled his hair.
"Who do you have to impress?" He asked.
"I have to impress you all the time. Squid, you're hott. I don't want to loose you to some Playboy-wannabe-slut-platinum-blond-fake-as-Barbie….well you get the idea. I mean, you could have your pick of the crop." I sighed.
"Loose me? No way." He scooped me up from behind into a hug. "Besides," he said when he let go. "No one will want to steal me from you, they'd be too afraid you'd beat them up." We laughed.
"Oh and I believe the correct terminology is finest boy ever." He added. We laughed as we remember camp green lake.
"You know you were really mean then." He looked at me doubly. "Ok sit on the bed I have some outfits I need your opinion on…" I heard him groan quietly and fall back on the bed. I smirked, thinking that boys should be sent shop with girls instead of dig holes, it's a better punishment.
So enjoy it? Hope you did. Don't forget to review and also check out my Cory in the House story, New Girl in DC. Thanks :)
