Disclaimer: This is just my opinion on what would happen if a girl was tossed into the plot of Holes. I don't own Holes, the characters, or the main plot. (Louis Sachar does. :))
Author's Note: I know that the whole Holes section is practically filled with stories about a girl coming to CGL, but I promise that this one will be different. It's my first fan fic so bare with me, k? ;)
Must Be Destiny
Chapter 1: We Didn't Do It!
Chance sunk lower into the uncomfortable wooden chair that sat in the main room of the police station. Just as she began thinking, a somewhat tall, curly haired boy came and sat down in the seat next to hers. Chance recognized him from the event that had taken place earlier.
"Can you believe this?" Chance asked him in a frustrated voice. The boy shook his head and put his hands over his face. He took a deep breath and let his hands fall from his face onto his lap.
"I think something serious is going to happen." He informed her.
"Serious?! Serious?! How can they do something serious to us if we didn't even do anything?" Chance asked rhetorically. The boy just shrugged. Chance held out her hand for him to shake. "By the way, my name's Chance."
"Stanley." The boy replied, shaking her hand.
*Flashback* [An hour and a half before the present time]
Thud.
"What the-?" Chance mumbled. A single shoe had fallen on her head. She rubbed her head and picked up the shoe, which was lying on the ground. She looked up to see where the shoe might've come from, but didn't find a source. No one would just throw away one shoe without the other, she thought. Then she carefully examined the shoe. Her mouth opened wide. She recognized the red X. "These are Sweet Feet's!" she exclaimed in a whisper to herself. Everyone in her family knew she was a big fan of Clyde Livingston's. She ran home to show everybody. She only got to run about 20 feet before she collided with a boy that was a lot taller than her. The rest seemed like a blur, and before she knew it, they were both being escorted to their town's police station on charges of theft. The officers accused the two of plotting the robbery together, but the truth is they'd never seen each other before in their lives.
*End of flashback*
Chance and Stanley's parents bustled through the police station.
"Chance, are you alright?" Chance's mother, Alexis asked.
"I'm fine, Mom." Chance replied, trying to calm her mother.
"Alright… well, I'm going to go try and settle this whole thing. I'll be back." Alexis said calmly. She left Chance and walked into an office along with Stanley's parents and two officers. Stanley walked back and sat next to Chance. For the next 45 minutes they sat in silence, just staring at the half opened blinds that revealed their parents and the officers. Finally the door opened and their parents walked out of the office. The three of them looked worn out.
"So?" Chance asked while standing up. Stanley stayed seated. He was afraid of the answer.
"There's no more we can do, guys. Even though there's evidence to support both sides of the story, they've decided to take it to court." Stanley's dad announced. Chance dropped back into her seat and Stanley gulped.
