Disclaimer-I do not own Holes (sadly) but the character Thorne belongs to me. The character Robyn belongs to Sachiko (SquiddlyGurl) and the character Diamond belongs to Nikki, and the character Blaze belongs to Kacie (Graciethe4th.) Don't know what the hell's going on? Read the PREQUEL. You'll be less confused.

Dear Emily "Thorne",

Hi. This is Rachel (Diamond.) I was sitting at home, doing my homework, and I started drawing a rose, and then thorns on it, and then I thought about you. Wow, it has been really weird here. People aren't treating me the same. I am friendless, and not even the teachers call on me or anything...which is weird. I come from a town that is small; thus the gossip spreads fast. I miss Camp Green Lake. I wish that I could go back and relive everything. I just wish that I was nicer to you...and not just you...everyone. I feel so horrible about Teddy. What happened was the worst thing ever. If only I was kinder, and then I wouldn't feel guilty. It was MY fault that the fire happened. It was MY fault that Teddy died. I am feeling like crap right now. I can't eat or sleep or talk or do anything. Thorne, I would like to talk to you again. You are a wonderful girl and I really appreciate you being as nice as you could to me and saving my butt. Please write back.

Love, Rachel "Diamond" Bilson
