Continuation of Holes
Chapter 1 – Krista's Konvo
I'm so excited. I run around my room and forcefully throw a whole heap of clothes on top of my bag. I grab underwear, deodorant, soap and a moisturiser... and I'm done! Yes! It's finally happening! Girls Scout Camp tomorrow and I cannot wait. The only thing that slightly bothers me though, is the location. We are going to Camp Greenlake, which apparently used to be a place where troubled boys under the age of 18 were sent instead of jail... but that was almost 50 years ago. I searched it up on the internet, but found nothing. My mum's feet are pounding up the stairs and so I feverishly shove my sleeping bag, toiletries and clothes into my bag.
"Krista, honey, are you packed' asks my mum. "Yes mum," I reply "everything including my sleeping bag is in my bag... even my shoes!" "What about Freddy?" Freddy is my toy dragon. I go everywhere with him. "I'll pack him in the morning, with my toothbrush""Sounds good. Have you finished on the computer?""Not quite," I say turning back to my laptop."Well, you don't want to stay up ALL night do you?" "I won't stay up ALL night," I say with a grin "Only part of it""Fine" she says and walks out the door. I turn back to my computer and answer the conversation between me and my besty.
Krista: Soz, that was my mum... I just had to finish packing for Scouts... have u?
Jean: Yep... it is gonna b soooooo awesome... we HAVE 2 share a room together... Kapish

Jean appears to be offline
I thought to myself. Long and hard. I went over and over and over my msn list... but there was no-one that I really wanted to talk to. I searched the internet. For what... I have no idea... anything I guess. My eyes start to feel heavy and I look over at my clock. Midnight...maybe I should go to sleep?? I change into my pyjamas and switch off my light. I sleepily walk back to my bed, pull apart the covers and get in. Then, darkness.
