Sadly, I don't own any of the original characters of the book Holes, but all of my ideas are mine, so no stealing!

Chapter One: Making Heads Turn

As Camp Green Lake comes into view, I start to think to myself, " Will I be the only other girl there? Will people accept me? How the hell am I going' to get through this?" But those thoughts still don't make my punishment any better. Camp Green Lake, a place formally for young male delinquents, is now co-ed and we share tents. Though our activities aren't different, we are all there for one reason, and one reason only, we have been caught, innocent or not, and sent here to work. The camp was closed, but then it re-opened. Which means that all of the boys set free were brought back to re-do all of their time, and now girls are being shipped there also. Which is why I am going here. Then, the bus arrives at the camp.

Now, I am not fat. But I'm not anorexic skinny either. At school, lots of guys consider me as hot. So, as I get off the bus, I hear guys getting up from their seats, eager to get a better look. Okay, your probably like, well what do you look like that's makes guys go all goggle eyed? I have straight, long, brown hair with blonde high lights, green eyes, B-cups, I wear size 1 pants and have tanned skin, (I go to the tanner all year round. My mom makes me). So I guess I should be proud that I have something to flaunt, but not really, if you catch my drift. As I hitch my battered backpack over my shoulder, the bus guard leads me up to, what appears to be, the main headquarters of the camp.

"Mr. Sir." The bus guard acknowledges the man sitting in chair, feet on the desk, smoking. He nods his head to show that he knows we are here. Then, he sits up, reaches for a red folder on his desk, and starts to read its contents through puffs on his cigarette. (authors note- i know he chewed sunflower seeds, but he smoked before. and now, he is smoking again. sooo yea.)

"Roxanne Nessa Ryan, 14 years old, from Dallas, Texas, sentenced to Camp Green Lake for 18 months. Crime, putting a girl in the hospital. Well, Ms. Ryan, at least we know that you can protect yourself." Mr. Sir mildly jokes.

"Er, yes."

"Well, you are the second girl sent here. I'm sure she will very happy, she's excitable, that one. Never runs out of energy, even after digging. Well, I'll have Mr. Pendanski come and get you. He is your counselor, and you will be in 'D' tent."

"Thank you, Mr. Sir." I say quietly. Mr. Sir nods his head, just as Mr. Pendanski arrives.

"Roxanne Ryan, I respect you. Just because you have done some bad things in your life, doesn't make you a bad person. Now, come along, I'm sure the boys and Janice would like meet you." He states in a too friendly tone.

"Uhhm, okay?" My answer comes out more question than answer. Mr. Pendanski starts to lead me to one of the tents, but is stopped by a couple of boys.

"Hey Mom, who's this chick?" asks one of the boys. He has black skin, dirty glasses, and is wearing an orange jump suit. Even though his glasses are dirty, I can still feel his eyes looking me up and down. "She's hotter than Peppy." He cracks. I feel myself start to blush at his comment.

"Now, now, we don't need to be making comments about Roxanne's body, Rex. Or Janice's." Mr. Pendanski mildly scolds the boy.

"Uhhm, Mr. Pendanski, you don't have to call me Roxanne. Roxy is fine too." I say quietly. Now, I'm not the person who is usually quiet, but coming to a camp full of guys, with one overly happy girl, I think that would make any girl shut up, social or not.

"Okay, Roxy," he says, trying out my nickname, "I'll have Alan go get the others from the Rec Room." Mr. Pendanski sends Alan off to the Rec Room while he leads me and the other two boys inside the tent.

"Here is your cot, Roxy, keep it clean, and you'll be okay. Ah, here is every one else. Roxy, this is Rex, Alan, Theodore, Jose, Ricky, and Janice. Make friends, you all!" He says, as he exits the tent.

"Okay, these are our real names. I'm X-Ray, that's Squid, Armpit, Magnet, Zigzag, and that's Peppy." Rex, or X-Ray, says.

"What's your name?" asks Zigzag.

"Roxy Ryan." I state, quietly, looking at the ground.

"Hey come on now, we don't bite. How 'bout we all meet at the Rec Room and then go get some dinner, and you can get changed, 'aight?" says Magnet, trying to be friendly.

"Okay." I mumble again.

"Hey! I'll stay with you and keep you company!" says Peppy. I nod my head and turn around to unload my bag in the crate that I am assigned too. I dump everything in, and grab a white camisole, and take off my shirt, turning around so that Peppy can't see my chest. I slip it on, and start to put on my orange jump suit.

"You know, I was kind of bored here, being the only girl, it was actually kind of weird too. But, the guys in this tent aren't so bad once you get to know them." Peppy says to me, as I get my clothes on.

"What do you mean by…this…tent?" I say between the clothing being pulled over my head.

"The other guys here are kind of…well they probably haven't seen a girl in 1 or 2 years, and you coming here, with your…Er, body shape and all, they may get a little horny." She says, answering my question, with a little to much peppiness to her voice. I guess that's why they call her Peppy.

I roll the pant legs up to my knees, and tie the top of the jump suit around my waist. I turn around and I see Peppy's eyes nearly pop out of her sockets.

"Whoa, I mean, you look great, oh golly the guys are going to…whoa." She says, flabbergasted.

"Look who's horny now." I wanted to say, but I refrained, I didn't want to make enemies my first couple of hours here. She leads me out of the tent, and we start to walk to the Rec Room. Even though I m keeping my eyes to the ground, I can still tell that I am turning heads. We walk into the Rec Room, and Peppy finds the guys of D tent. Peppy was right, they were shocked, though I thought, more amazed, with what they saw. I started blushing again, and keep on looking at the ground.

"Okay how 'bout we all go and get some dinner, now?" X-Ray says, after a few moments of awkward silence. We all either nod our heads, or say 'yeah', or 'sure'. We start walking to the Dining Hall together, and I know that I am making heads turn, again.
