Author's Note: In this fanfic, there are girls. The girls do indeed end up at Camp Green Lake. I even took a huge risk and threw some romance into this plot I've formed in my mind. However. Please take the following points into consideration:
*Camp Green Lake does not randomly turn co-ed. There are reasons and explanations, involving a car wreck, a phone book, and a secret. ^_^
*There is a plot. And from what I have figured out so far, romance is not going to be one of the "central" themes.
*I don't take my OCs lightly. I've tried my darnedest to make the three girls in this story interesting, original, and well-developed characters. (*hugs Minion, my beloved little semi-sociopath*)
*The plot happens to involve a lot of...well...insanity. Tension. Twists and turns. What have you.
In a nutshell, I'm trying hard to take an atypical angle on the "girls at CGL" theme. So please don't mentally discard the fic due to fear of cliché. Give it a chance. O:-)
Much Love,
Charade

Quick note to any readers of Put It In Gear: Yes, I am most definitely still working on it. Yes, I am insane for starting another fic at the same time. No, this one has no connection to it. Love ya all!

Disclaimer: I don't own Holes, its characters, or Camp Green Lake. Louis Sachar does. I guess Disney has some claim to them too now. I'm not making any money off them. Actually, I'm currently deeply in debt. So leave me alone. Oh: I do own Comet, Pretzel, and Minion. Don't steal them. As the great Brooky Jones said of her characters, you could never love them as much as I do.

Prologue
Some people don't believe in curses. Some people don't believe in yellow-spotted lizards, either. I happen to believe in both, having had the misfortune of experiencing the effects of the former, and meeting the latter in the flesh.
Some people don't believe that a girl who is four feet and nine inches tall could hotwire a car and drive it across Texas, sitting on a phone book to reach the steering wheel. Some people don't believe that a beautiful rebel full of dreams could betray everything to which she once pledged love and loyalty, and allow her life to spin out of control. Some people don't believe that a person who had never known a dose of love in her life could suddenly find herself with one dose too many, and end up tearing apart everything she once thought she knew and seeking the truth with a greater strength than she had realized she possessed.
If you happen to be one of those people, one who doubts that such events are possible, then this story was written for you. Sit back, relax, read and review...and believe.
