A/N: Ok. This is my first story about Holes. I use some Spanish and some Italian in this chapter and this story in general but the translation will always be right after the term. The main character, Gianna, speaks Italian, Spanish and English, hence the translations.

Disclaimer: I do not in any way own Holes. I do, however, own a copy of the book and a copy of the movie. I guess that if I dug a hole in my back yard then I would own that, but that's all. Please leave any and all reviews; just don't be too harsh please.

Chapter one:

It was a scolding hot morning. Gianna Andreini sat on the hot yellow bus trying to remember just how long they had been driving for. For about the past ten minutes, she had been noticing mile after mile of holes that surrounded the small dirt path that they were now driving down. They were slowly approaching, what Gianna supposed, was Camp Green Lake. After about five more minutes, the bus came to a stop, which suddenly awoke the guard. He sat up quickly, trying to regain his bearings. He stood up and yelled to the back of the bus, "Hey missy, come on and get up here."

Gianna looked at him in annoyance. "Okay. There's just one problem, you would have to bring the seat with me."

The guard looked at her and then remembered the handcuffs. "Oh, right." He said.

Gianna looked at him and muttered under her breath in Italian, "Quanto stupid potete ottenere?" (How stupid can you get?)

The guard just grunted and uncuffed her wrists. She grabbed her bag and he pulled her off the bus roughly by her arm. As she got out of the bus, she realized that she didn't see any girls . . . anywhere. As they entered a small cabin, several boys stopped dead in their tracks. The guard just pushed her along and into what she thought was supposed to be an office. Behind a desk, a large man sat sleeping with his feet propped up on top of several files. The guard tapped the man's foot and he awoke with a start, pulling out his pistol. "Who's there!? Its MY gun!"

Gianna pretended to cough trying to suppress her laughs. The man put the pistol away and took her file from the guard and opened it up. "Gianna Andreini. Is that supposed to be some fancy Spanish name?"

"No, its Italian." Gianna said bluntly.

"Age fourteen...bla bla bla...female...Female!?" The man hadn't really looked at her, which would explain him not noticing the fact that she was very feminine indeed.

Gianna glared at him and sarcastically responded, "No really? I thought all boys looked like this." Gianna did not in any way resemble a boy at all. She had long, light brown, loose curls that reached her midback, half of which was pulled back. She had bright blue eyes and rather, pronounced feminine curves but she was still very thin. She was wearing a tight black tank top and big baggy pajama bottoms.

The man glared at her. He already didn't like her attitude. "My name is Mr. Sir. Anytime you speak with me, you will call me by my name. Follow me." He led her to a supply room. He handed her two orange jumpsuits, a hat, boots, and two shower tokens. He explained to her the requirements of her holes and what she was to do with her supplies; He turned around and let her change into the jumpsuit. Just as she finished zipping it up, a small man walked in with a clipboard. "I am Mr. Pendanski." He said with all too much gusto. Just as he was about to say something else, he looked at her again. "A girl?" He and Mr. Sir began quietly muttering to each other before Mr. Pendanski refocused on Gianna. "You will be in tent D. D stands for Diligence." He led he out of the supply room.

They approached a large white tent with the letter D on the top in faded gray letters. Two boys came out as they approached the tent. Both just stood and stared at Gianna for several minutes before the Hispanic boy regained his composure. "Whoa! Mom, what's with the chica?" He said with a huge smile on his face.

Mr. Pendanski declared, "Jose, meet Gianna."

Jose looked her up and down and said, "Ella es caliente!" (She is Hot!)

Gianna glared at him and said with a smirk, "Gracias que es siempre agradable de oir." (Thanks. That's always nice to hear.)

Jose looked at her in disbelief, "Usted sabe hablar espanol?" (You can speak Spanish?)

Gianna grinned and said, "Usted aposto!" (You bet!)

Jose smiled and said happily, "Fresco." (Cool.)

Mr. Pendanski glared at them and tried to follow the conversation but failed miserably. "You two just speak in English!" he yelled, becoming very frustrated. He cooled off and then said, "Jose, please show Gianna around and introduce her to the other boys."

Jose looked at her and then beckoned for her to follow him. During the conversation, the other boy had just been staring at Gianna. His trance was broken as Jose pulled him along. As the walked into the tent, Jose said, "Oh, I'm Magnet and this is Zigzag." He pointed to the boy who had been staring at Gianna. He was extremely tall, bordering about six foot three and his blonde hair, standing up on its ends, added a good three or four inches onto that. As they walked into the tent everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her Gianna, mouths agape.

When they finally picked their jaws up off the floor, the first to break out of the trance was a thin muscular black boy with thick dirty glasses who was sitting with some big smelly guy playing cards. He said, "Yo Mag, what's with the girl?" All of the other boys piped up, showing the same curiosity.

"This is Gianna. "Magnet said. "Gianna, that's X-ray, Armpit, Squid, Caveman, and Zero."

Gianna looked and acknowledged each boy as they were introduced. The same boy from before, X-ray, spoke again, "Gianna, we're goin to the wreck room. Wanna come?" Giana looked around and nodded. They all left one by one.

When they approached the wreck room door, a tall blond boy came up to Gianna and grabbed he by the shoulders, "Hey cutie." He said. " I saw you get off the bus and I'm sorry but you can't come in unless I get a kiss." He said leaning into her. Just as the boy was about to force Gianna to kiss him, she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist pull her back and away from the boy. "Lay off!" her savior said boldly. The boy looked at her savior, defeated and retreated to the wreck room. Gianna turned around to find that the arms around her waist belonged to Squid. Squid realized he was still holding her and he put her down blushing crimson.

"Thanks." Gianna said blushing, with a smile. He was on the stair below her a was still a few inches taller than she was. Before Squid became capable of speech again, Giana had already turned around and entered the wreck room, hurrying away before she could embarrass herself.

When she entered the room, all eyes focused on her. Every boy seemed distracted as she searched the room for someone from D tent.

She walked up to the pool table smiling. She had had a funny feeling that made her tingle when Squid had held her and it made her nervous. Why am I feeling this way? she thought to herself.

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted. "Hey Cielo, wanna play pool?" Magnet said.

"Who, me?" she asked.

"Yes chica, who else?" Magnet responded.

"Is that a nickname?" she asked.

"Yeah" Magnet said giving her a toothy grin.

"But why the name Cielo?" she was really curious.

"Sus ojos del azul. They remind me of the sky." (Your blue eyes.) Magnet said and smiled at her.

"Lets play pool!" She said. She grinned from ear to ear. It wasn't very often that she felt wanted. Magnet giving her a nickname made her feel like someone cared.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After several hours of playing pool and joking around (and in Giana's case, being stared at), D tent headed back to their beds. When they got inside, Gianna looked around. She didn't know which cot was her's. Squid tossed her a pillow and said, "You get the cot between me and Zigzag". Gianna looked at him and smiled. She didn't know why, but something about him made her feel like she would blush the moment she was near him. She undid the front of her jumper and tied the sleeves around her waist. She had on a tight muscle shirt underneath. As she laid down pondering her feelings for Squid, she realized Oh great! That's it! I've got a crush on him!

A/N: From now on I am goin to refer to Gianna as Cielo. Please comment! I really wanna hear what people think. The next chapter is coming soon!
