Holes

The loud sound of the horn awoke all of D-Tent instantly.
Squid rolled out of bed, barely awake. "Come on Zigzag! Wake up
man!" Squid grumbled, punching his shoulder. He actually was mad
that Zigzag should have even 1 minute more sleep then him. Zigzag
moaned and stumbled out of his bed. They all got changed into the
same work orange jumpsuits they wore everyday. "Come on you girl
scouts! Open them peepers! Its time to dig them holes." Mr. Sir
shouted into the boy's tired faces. They all grabbed their
disgusting, gooey breakfast and started to walk to their hole.
All
7 of the D-tent boys dug their holes in silence. That is until X-Ray
and Zigzag got into a fight.
"Listen man; throw your dirt somewhere else alright! That's all I'm saying!" Zigzag yelled into X-Rays face.
"Maybe you shouldn't dig your hole so close to mine and I would have somewhere else to put my dirt." X-Ray yelled equally as loud.
"Yo, guys! Come on, its hot enough we don't need to hear y'all fight non- stop!" Armpit said, stepping between them.
Just then all of them saw the water truck coming towards them; they all drank their last drop making sure not to waste any water before refilling. The truck came to a stop and the boys filed into a line.
"I just wanted to let you girl scouts know, that since we have been low on budget, we will be doing something that's never happened at Camp Greenlake." Mr. Sir said, while the boys crowded around to hear what was happening.
"What is it Mr. Sir?" came the murmur from the boys.
"Well, we have, a uh girl coming tonight to Camp Greenlake." He stuttered. All the boys' faces lit up.
'A girl! Hell yeah! Awesome!' Came from the boys as the all laughed and smiled.
"That don't mean we are excepting tons o' girls scouts, and it don't mean you guys can fool around. She is in your tent so; I don't want any funny business. You hear me?!" Mr. Sir said as he finished filling Zero's canteen and left in his truck.
"Wow, a girl." Squid said to Zigzag, Caveman and X-Ray. "I aint seen a girl in about 10 months."
"Me neither, besides the warden, but she don't count." X-Ray smiled.
Caveman smiled but stayed quiet as usual. All the boys continued digging their holes, thinking about how different Camp Greenlake is going to be with a girl. After they were done, Squid, Armpit, Zigzag and Caveman walked back to the Wreck Room to wait for supper.
When they were walking to the mess hall they saw and heard Mr.Pendanski stick his head out of the D-tent flap and yell, "Boys get over here! Come meet the first girl at Camp Greenlake!
" All of their faces lit up and they almost ran to their tent, they would've if they weren't so tired.
"Boys
this is Shelby, she will be staying with us for the next 24 months."
He said cheerfully as the short girl turned around. She looked
disgusted just to be here. She had long stick straight brown hair.
She had dark brown dancing eyes. She was wearing a catholic school
uniform. She had a white dress shirt on and it was unbuttoned down to
her bellybutton showing her piercing and black bra. She had on a
short plaid, pleated skirt and navy blue knee socks with a pair of
navy blue and white DC shoes.
"Shelby, meet you new tent
mates this is Rex, Alan, Theodore, Stanley, José, Ricky and
Zero." Mr.Pendanski said as he pointed out each of them. Shelby
grinned at each of them.
"Ill
leave you to get acquainted" Mr.Pendanski said as he walked out
the tent flap. There was silence until Shelby turned on her heel and
set her bag on the ground. She turned to X- Ray
"Um Rex
...which one is my cot? She asked.
"Hey my name aint Rex, its X-Ray, that's Squid, Armpit, Caveman, Magnet, Zigzag and Zero." He said smiling as he pointed them out.
"And Pendanski is mom," Squid smiled.
"Alright, so where is my cot." She asked again, obviously not interested in the nicknames. The boys looked around and spotted the eighth cot between Squids and Zigzags.
"Right there," Zigzag said pointing out the cot. There were her two orange jumpsuits sitting folded on the bed.
"Thanks," she said. She threw her bag onto the bed causing it to sink. She sat down on the cot and picked up the orange jumpsuits. Then the dinner bell rang and the boys all turned.
"Hey, its supper, aint you coming" Squid asked Shelby while he chewed on a toothpick.
"Yeah, but don't I have to change into this hideous thing?" Shelby said holding up the jumpsuit.
"Oh yeah, well then I'll see ya in there. Or I can wait." Squid said.
"Naw,
I'll see you in there." She said unbuttoning the last three
buttons of her dress shirt. Squid nodded and walked out of the tent
flap. Shelby changed into her orange jumpsuit. Leaving the first
three buttons free again like her dress shirt showing her bra and
belly button ring. The jumpsuit was about 5 sizes too big and made
her look tinier than she was. She put on her also way too big brown
boots and started walking to the Mess hall. As she tied her hair back
absent mindedly she thought about the boys. She couldn't believe the
judge would send her to an all boy's camp after what happened to her.
He obviously didn't believe her. Oh well, she got along fine with
guys, as long as they didn't piss her off.
As she walked in
the mess hall door everybody stopped and whipped around looking at
her. She heard whispering among them. A boy from C Tent let out a
whistle. Shelby smiled she had always been a flirt and she liked the
attention but she flipped him off anyway. The she went to go and get
her "food". She walked with her tray over to D-Tent table
and motioned for them to make room. She ended up sitting beside
Zigzag and Caveman. She looked at her slop they called food and
pushed the tray away. The boys laughed.
"So what are you in for" X-Ray asked, trying to take her mind off the food.
"A bunch of stuff " Shelby mumbled looking at her nails.
The boys wanted to know what.
"Arson." She finished. There was more but it was none of their business.
There was one of those awkward silences around the table. Shelby looked up at Squid who sat across from her. He looked up and for a second and they smiled quickly before looking back down.
"Well
I'm not hungry, I guess I'll head back before I hurl. See y'all at
the tent." Shelby said tossing her tray in the garbage. She
walked back to the tent and laid on her bed, she was glad she had
brought her own pillow, the other one smelled like puke. She changed
into her pajamas which was a black fitted tank top and baggy plaid PJ
pants. She sat on the bed thinking about everything through her head.
Was she really going to be the only girl at Camp Greenlake forever?
There's no way, the only girl she'd ever get to talk to was the
Warden for the next two years. Maybe she'd become really good friends
with the guys. It could be like her and Paul before everything
happened.
"Hey Chica," Magnet said as the 7 boys
walked into the tent. "Hi boys," She said. "Are you
guys going to bed already?" She asked.
"Yeah pretty soon, unlike you we've been digging all day." Caveman said. All the boys started changing into their sleep clothes which was mostly just t-shirts and boxers.
"You guys really have to dig five feet holes everyday?" Shelby asked
"Hell
yah and it aint easy neither." Magnet answered yawning. Shelby
sighed and lied down on her back. She didn't realize how tired she
was until her head hit the pillow and she was out. The boys chuckled
and went to sleep
too.
The
bell sounded once again at 4:30. The guys all woke up but Shelby
slept right through it. "Come on, wake up!" Magnet yelled
in her face.
"Now
way, you're kidding! It's still dark out!" She screamed. Squid
and Zigzag each grabbed one arm and yanked her up. She sat there for
a minute. Grasping the fact that she was actually awake at this time
was hard for her. The she got up and changed into her orange
jumpsuit. She tried to ignore the fact that a bunch of delinquent
boys were in there with her. She walked out of the tent with Squid,
Zigzag and Magnet. They showed her to the library and shovels. She
grabbed her breakfast and reluctantly ate it. They walked to their
holes slowly Shelby almost fell asleep as she dragged her feet
through the dirt and sand.
They
pointed out where the D-tenters were to dig. They all started like
they did everyday. That is except Shelby who couldn't for the life of
her start her hole.
"Damnit!" Shelby screamed. She
threw the shovel as far as she possibly could, which wasn't very far.
She cursed loudly and kicked a large pile of dirt so it flew into
Squids and Armpits already knee deep holes. This received objections
and complaints from both of them. Shelby rolled her eyes. Suddenly a
couple of boys who had been watching Shelby get so mad called out cat
calls.
"Ugh! Shut up!" She screamed running her
fingers through her dirty hair.
"Come
on over here baby!" A tall blonde screamed. She got really
pissed off. She rolled up her sleeves and started towards E tents
digging area. Although the boys highly doubted she could do much
damage to a boy a foot taller than herself they all yelled at her to
stop. She wasn't supposed to go to other digging areas during the
day. Squid Magnet and Zigzag jumped out of their holes. Squid grabbed
Shelby by the waist and picked her up. Zigzag grabbed her ankles to
stop her from kicking. Magnet talked to her softly.
"Yo,
chill! You don't need to spaz out chica!" Magnet said. Zigzag
let go of her feet as she shoved them into his chest.
"You can't just leave the digging site 'cause a guy is being an idiot! You have to stay here or you'll get us all in trouble." Magnet said.
Shelby swung her fists so they hit Squid causing him to put her down but not let go of her. She pulled the shoulder of her jumpsuit up because it had slid off during the commotion.
"I'm
not staying here!" She cried at the boys, "I hate this. I
can't dig holes! I have huge blisters, I can't see through the dirt
and I have to go pee!" She looked sad and stamped her foot
angrily. By now all the boys had gotten out of their holes and
surrounded Shelby. She looked at the boys stunned faces. They haven't
ever heard somebody complain that much and they weren't used to being
around girls. They couldn't tell a girl to toughen up or shut up and
get over it. They were just going to get madder.
"Here
have my gloves," Zigzag said passing his dirty grey gloves to
her. She smiled.
"Thanks Zigzag." She smiled and looked down at the gloves. Squid passed her his goggles and they all sighed as she went back to try once again to finish her hole.
