Hey guys, this is my first ever fanfic so plz be nice
I loved writing it but there might be a few days waiting period between chaps because of school and stuff, plus im a REALLY painfully slow typer. i would love ideas for later chapters, and things i could improve on.
i know this has been done over and over but i just absolutely LOVE them, i hope you do too
Disclaimer: I dont own Holes blah blah blah but i do own Eve, shes mine XD
Sitting on this bus driving out into the middle of nowhere wasn't the worst thing that could have happened, thought Eve as she yet again tried to pry open the handcuffs that fastened her hand to the arm-rest.
"Hey!" snapped the guard "try that again and ill tighten them even more"
"Whatever, asshole" Eve muttered under her breath, but she stopped because she could hardly move her wrists as it was.
She was thinking about home. She wanted more than anything to be with her dad in their country house in Australia, where she belonged. She sighed, that could never happen though because her father was dead.
After her parents split she was sent to live with her American mother. When her dad died and left everything to Eve, her Mom went a bit crazy. She was selfish and wanted Eve to hand over her dad's fortune, but she wouldn't. So when her mom attempted to kill her so the money would fall into her hands, Eve moved in with her boyfriend to be safe.
That's how this whole mess started. Speaking of holes, what the hell was one doing in the middle of the desert? And another, and another? Soon they were driving past thousands upon thousands of holes.
"What the hell?" muttered Eve. The guard raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything because the bus was slowly coming to a halt. When he had undone her handcuffs, he motioned for her to step off the bus. Before she did, she checked her pockets for her favorite lighter. Still there, she thought full of relief. That lighter had gotten her into alot of trouble but she would never throw it away, it was the only thing she had of her fathers.
She stepped off the bus into the staggering heat just as a gruff looking man came over and led her into an air-conditioned office. She relaxed as she cooled down a bit.
Mr. Sir began to speak, "so you must be "ev--" but she cut him off quickly and said, "My name is Eve"
"Well then Eve, my name is Mr. Sir, you must address me as that at all times, understand?"He said sharply
"Okay, but only if you call me Eve, and not by my full name" she replied lazily.
He grunted as he took down 2 orange jumpsuits and handed them to her, explaining the uniform rules and when the washing days were.
Eve scrunched up her nose at the sight of them, "I can't wear those, they'll clash with my hair" she moaned. But it was true because she had long, slightly wavy red hair.
"Well that's too bad" said Mr. Sir roughly, and led her over to a red faced man who was smiling brightly at her.
He introduced himself as Mr. Pendanski, her councelor and said she would be staying in D-tent for the duration of her stay.
He led her over to the tent with a big D on it and signaled for her to go inside. All that was in there were just a few cots and beside each one was a crate to put your things in.
"This will be your cot" said Mr. Pendanski, pointing at the cot in the middle. "The boys are digging at the moment but when they get back I'm sure they'll introduce themselves"
"What about the girls" asked Eve while she put her bag in the crate next to her cot.
"So nobody told you then?" he smirked
"Told me what exactly?" said Eve
"This is and all boys camp, you're the only girl in the whole camp…apart from the warden of course" he said matter-of-factly.
"WHAT!!!" she was screaming, "if this is an all boys camp, then what the fuck am I doing here??!!"
"Yo Mom, what's all the screaming about?"Came a voice from outside the tent.
A tall muscular dark skinned boy with thick dirty glasses strolled inside the tent, but when he saw Eve he crashed into one of the cots, sending him flying.
"Nice going X-Ray" laughed another boy who walked in the tent.
When he saw eve he froze and stood staring at her with his mouth open. Soon there was a big cluster of boys standing at the tent entrance of the tent staring at her.
"Err, well, yes" started Mr. Pendanski "I'm sure you boys can introduce yourselves" and he scurried off before it could get anymore awkward.
The boys were still staring.
"What?" said Eve "Haven't you ever seen a girl before?"
It seemed to wake them up a bit.
"Some of us haven't seen a girl in over a year" said the one with glasses.
"By the way I'm X-Ray" he said
"G'day X-Ray" she replied
"Rigghhtt" he hesitated "well this is Arm-pit, Zigzag, Squid, Magnet, Caveman and Zero"
"Im Eve" she greeted them
"So are you Australian or something?" asked the one with wild hair called Zigzag
"Half" she replied "but I lived there most my life"
"So do you like, ride Kangaroos instead of driving cars?" asked the Hispanic one, Magnet.
She laughed, "Of course not, you dumbass"
He looked disappointed.
"Soo..." she began "Those aren't your real names are they?"
"Nah", said X-Ray "but we hate our real names so we have nicknames, you will probably have one soon"
"Oh that's good" she said smiling, "I don't like my full name either"
"What is it?" asked Arm-pit.
"Not telling" she said
"Well then we're not telling you ours" said zigzag
"s'okay" she replied, "I don't really care" she shrugged her shoulders and lay on her cot.
"Y'all, I think we should call her Skippy the kangaroo" said squid
"Just Skippy or Skip for short though" said Caveman
Everybody laughed
Eve didn't mind being called Skip; she hated her real name, some people thought it was beautiful and pretty but if anyone ever called her by it she would probably punch them. It never used to bother her, but since her dad died she resented it, because she was named after her grandmother who played a part in his death.
She could feel tears welling up in her eyes, but she quickly rolled over in her cot to wipe them away before anyone could notice.
"Sooo……"began Magnet, "How'd you get here anyways?"
"I don't wanna talk about it" she mumbled
"Well you're gunna have to talk sometime, we got a meeting with Mom tonight..." Said Zigzag
"I SAID I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT" she screamed and ran out of the tent crying
"Yo Zig man, I don't think she wants to talk about it "sniggered Squid
Everyone laughed
Eve ran out into the desert and sat in an empty hole and cried and cried. Ever since she was arrested, she had been depressed. Today when Magnet asked about the kangaroos was the first time she had laughed in months. She figured she was happy to be so far away from her Mom.
She heard a bell go off in the distance and reluctantly got out of the hole to join the rest of camp at dinner.
She walked into the dining hall, and after being served what looked like pureed spinach mush, she scanned the hall for an empty table. There wasn't one.
But just then she was called over by X-Ray to join their table.
"HEY SKIP! OVER HERE!" he called
She went to join them and sat in the empty space in between Caveman and Squid.
She just sat and stared at her food for a while until X-ray piped up.
"Um, you'd better get used to it; it's the only thing they serve here"
She sighed, "What's the point?"
"Well you gotta eat don't cha?" said Squid
"I mean what's the point if I'm just gonna throw it up afterwards?" she mumbled in reply
"How do you know you'll throw it up?" asked Squid "I been here for ages and never thrown up once"
She didn't really want to go into detail with it but figured it would save questions asked later on down the track.
"Because I'm bulimic" she sighed waiting for the response to come
The whole table was silent and staring at her.
"Why?" Zigzag finally asked
Silence again
"Because I used to be seriously obese"
"Well why didn't you just stop when you lost the weight?" He asked
"You can't just switch it off whenever you want" she retorted "it's a disease"
Nobody said anything
"Can I have your bread then?" Asked X-ray
"Whatever" she mumbled
"Hey you know if anything happens we got your back right" Said Caveman
Everyone nodded in agreement
"I don't need protecting!" she snapped
"I think you do" said Squid "there are a lot of guys here charged with sexual assult"
"How the hell would you know if I need protecting!" she could feel her anger rising, "you don't even know why I'm here!"
"Well that's because you wont tell us!!" he shouted
"Well I guess you'll find out tonight" she glared at him before standing up and stalking out of the room
She went to the tent and lay down on her cot, flicking her lighter absent-mindedly. Not long after that, Zero walked in and lay on his cot.
"Is everyone mad at me?" she said quietly
"Nah" he replied, "They just think your overreacting, besides they're not used to having girls around"
She sighed.
A little while later everyone entered the tent along with Mr. Pendanski and set up chairs in a circle in the middle of the tent.
When everyone sat down she went and sat next to Zero.
"Well, since you are the newest member of the D-tent why don't you start" said Pendanski to Eve
"Err, hi", said Eve, "Um, my names Eve and I was sent here for reasons I don't wish to discuss"
"Well that's a good start Eve, but don't you think everyone here deserves to know why you're here?"said Pendanski
She said nothing
"I have your file here" he said, "do you want me to tell them myself?"
"No" she said quickly, then sighed "I'll tell them"
"It all started when my Mon and Dad split up" she began "He was really rich and my Mom wanted his money in the divorce settlement, she couldn't have cared less about me", "My Mom's Mom was a bitch and wanted her daughter to have the money so she hired someone to try and kill him" she paused to take a deep breath before continuing, "It worked. He was brutally murdered, but my grandmother was sent to jail. It turns out after all that though, that the money was left to me. Out of fear I moved in with my boyfriend of three years, what I didn't know was that my Mom had paid him off to get me to sign these papers handing the money over to her. When I figured out what happened I tried to run away but he caught me and started to beat me up, along with two of his other friends—"
"so lemme guess" It was X-Ray talking "you tried to defend yourself, and someone saw you fighting them and you were wrongly accused og harassment and sent here"
"What i did was NOT an accident" she was almost smiling now, and she had a manic look in her eye.
"Gulp- so what did happen?"Asked Magnet
She didn't answer, but instead took her lighter out of her pocket and flicked it on.
There was a hushed silence around the room.
"I managed to fight them off and before they could recover from the absolute pounding i gave them, I burned them all, and then I burned my mother's house… unfortunately she wasn't home".
"So all in all im stuck in this camp for 4 years on account of triple murder and arson"she finished.
There was silence all around the room. Everyone's faces looked horrified.
Finally Armpit spoke up "how the hell did you manage to pound three at once?"
She smirked "I'm a state champion kick-boxer"
That just made everyone look even more scared. Armpit looked like he was sorry he even asked.
"i guess you really dont need our protection" said Magnet
