This is my first Holes fic, and I doubt I will be doing any more, but enjoy!

I changed it to what I hope is now correct. I've never seen the movie so this is based on the book.

Stanley tried not to breathe too loudly, but it was hard. He hadn't really wanted to make this call, but he had to. He had promised. It had been three months since he left camp Green lake, and this was the longest he could put it off.

He dialed the number Squid had given him. It had taken him forever to figure out what to say, and had finally written it down. The phone rang three times before a woman picked it up. "Hello?" she answered.

"This is Stanley, a friend of Allen's. Are you his mom?" Stanley realized he might have said that a little too fast.

"Yes," she replied cautiously.

"Well, I met him at Camp Green Lake, and he wanted me to tell you he was sorry."

Perhaps it was his imagination, but it seemed that her voice seemed a little less guarded when she thanked him. They hung up, and it wasn't until about an hour after the call that he wondered what Squid had done that he needed to apologize for, apparently the same thing that had gotten him sent to Green Lake. He also couldn't help but wonder if Squid and the other boys were still there.

Well, short and perhaps sweet. I couldn't remember what Allen's nickname was, so if I got it wrong, plz tell me and Ill fix it.
