My Angel, My Only Prologue
======
People think I'm stupid. I know they do, but I'm not.
I just don't like answering stupid questions.
And people have the tendency to ask the most stupid questions you could ever think of.
I also know that people think I'm just a quiet little soul who doesn't care about anything. Who can't smile, who can't feel, who can't enjoy anything.
Well, I can.
But with the life I've led, it's not easy. There are very few people in the world I care about, and even fewer that care about me.
I love my mother, but she left me alone and never came back. I don't know who or where my father is... But I can remember a man playing with me, laughing as he tickled me. Sometimes, I wonder if I had just dreamt that I had parents. But my father wasn't in my life for very long. All I can remember is my mother.
Maybe I didn't have a mother.
But everybody has to have a mother.
And mine was the best.
She just stopped loving me. But I've never stopped loving her.
I wonder what I did to make her hate me so much as to leave me at the park, with only Jaffy for company. Sometimes, when I think about her for a long time, I get a small spark of hope that she might still love me.
I've never had any friends. I've never spoken to anyone else my age.
I got sentenced to Camp Green Lake when I tried to 'take a pair of shoes I needed.' I didn't even go to a court trial, because no one cared enough.
I wished my mum had been there.
I just got questioned by the judge, who had came into the shelter wearing ski-pants and a snow-jacket. She had just been at the snow with her family.
Family. What a word.
I wish I had one.
The judge gave me a choice.
Camp Green Lake, or jail.
I had always wanted to be in the Cub Scouts. I always wanted to go on camp.
You can guess my choice.
The other boys in D-tent were okay. They kept to themselves and I kept to myself. They got along together quite well, though, but none of them ventured to talk to me.
I guess it's my fault.
When Stanley came, things changed. I knew it was my fault he was at the 'lake', so I, in a way, tried to make it up to him.
I felt like I owed him heaps.
So listen to my story...

---->A/N: Hello! Yes, it's ME again, the girl you all thought could only write cheesy romance HP fics. Lol. This chapter was short, I KNOW!, but it gets longer so never fear! This story is completely based on ZERO the 'lil boy in Holes. It's all about his life, but beware, most of this story is like the re-telling of Holes... only BETTER!
Okay, don't mind me. The RANDOM CAPITALIZATION is just... random. The prologue is about the only part of the story that is done directly from Zero's POV. Keep readin' plz! I promise, this story gets better! --MSQ.
