This is another Holes Story. Hey, what can I say? At the moment I am totally obsessed with the book and movie! Anyways, this is a rewrite because SOMEONE coughblueferretcough said momma made it sound like I was an eight year old kid or childish or whatever. ANYWAYS, I hope you're happy now! GAW! And the summary, all of what I wrote before wouldn't fit! By the way, who the fk is VC Andrews? Oh, Disclaimer – I own nothing, 'cept for Kobe and a character I may throw in later. Don't forget to read my other fics! 'Cept for Sharon's World, unless you want to. It was a major one-shot sucky one. Meh. Enjoy;
Chapter # - 1 - Arriving
I sat in the back of a crusty muddy bus, drenched in unwanted perspiration. I, Kobe Adrienne Walker, was on my way to live with my mother. My mom, Lou Walker, was the warden at a detention center for juvenile delinquents. Boy juvenile delinquents. I actually used to live there, until I was 4. Mom and Dad got divorced, and dad saw it unfit for a 4 year old little girl to live at a detention facility for boys, with boys 10 to 15 years older than her! So, the day before I was about to start home schooling he packed up and took me to New York City with him. Well, now I was going back to live with my mom. Dad had gotten stinking rich and began to squander money. Why, I have absolutely no idea. Hell, I don't even know what the frig squandering is! Anyways, back to the bus situation. It was hot as hell. I don't remember it being this hot out in Green Lake, Texas. My old and new home. I was sitting on a school bus, my orange jean mini skirt clung to me and my pink Chanel t-shirt was sticking to my stomach, the converse chucks (the black old-school ones) I wore were making my feet smell a bit. 'Gross,' I thought. I looked up as the guard walked towards me and shoved a disgustingly warm coke into my hands then walked away. I took one sip and spewed it all over the isle and seat. Just then I looked up and noticed a boy sitting about 3 seats in front, looking very lonely. I thought it'd be nice if I went to talk to him.
"Hey, my name's Kobe." I said as I sat down beside him
"M-m-my name's Brian." He twitched a bit
"Where are you going?" I asked
"C-Camp Green Lake." He twitched a bit more as he turned to look at me
"Really? Wow. Me too!" I exclaimed
"W-what for?" he asked, seeming to calm down quite a bit. I guess once he got comfortable or whatever his twitching was less evident
"Oh, nothing. My mom is the Warden. Dad just turned out to be a lying, cheating son-of-a-bitch, so he got put in jail and I chose to come back here." I shrugged my shoulders
"You wanted to come here? Wow." He looked shocked
"Yep. So, why are you here?" I cocked a perfectly arched eyebrow
"J-joy ridin'!" he got a gleam in his brown eyes, and began to shake his shaggy brown haired head as he explained all about his love of cars
"Cool! Back in New York, where I lived before with my dad, where he took my after taking me away from here ten years ago, when I was 16 my Nanny was going to give me a Bentley Continental (A/n – These r sooo pimp cars!) for my birthday." I told him
"Awesome," he gave me a high five. As I was turning around to reach for the coke I intended to offer him, the bus came to a jarring halt. "Omph!" I moaned as I picked myself up off the spot in the isle where I landed. The boy, Brian, hadn't moved. Then did I notice he couldn't. It'd be kind of hard to when you're handcuffed to the bus!
"Ms. Walker, we're here. Come on." He grabbed my luggage (3 big suitcases, a small one, a duffle bag, and a large birkin bag) from me and headed up the isle. I followed him and waved bye to Brian.
"Bye buddy!" I waved
"B-bye Kobe." He waved back
I stepped off the gross bus and onto the familiar dirt. All the memories that I had of this place that I'd forgotten came flooding back. I remember helping dad build 'the library'. Hmm, I wonder what's in there. I walked over and opened it. Oooo. Shovels. That'd explain all the holes. The guard from the bus had walked over to the cabin where mom lived and dumped all my stuff on the porch. 'How nice of him,' I thought as I walked around. Out of nowhere I tripped and fell into a hole. "Arrrgh!" I screamed.
"What was that?" I heard a voice ask. Whoa. It sound like mom.
"I don't know M'am." A boy's voice answered
"Was it any of you four?" she asked, apparently, four boys
"Mom!" I yelled out
"Kobe!" she screamed. "Where are you baby?"
"I fell in a hole." I heard laughter erupt from the four boys Mom was talking to. I began to wave my hand wildly and try to get out. I was almost out, they all saw, before I freaked out and fell in again. Mom sighed and said "Ricky, be a dear and get my daughter out of that hole."
"Yes M'am." He responded robotically before coming over to the hole I was sitting at the bottom of
"Hi! My name's Kobe!" I said excitedly
"Mine's Ricky. But everyone calls my Zigzag. We all have nicknames, here, give me your hand." He ordered
I looked at him skeptically. "What for?"
Mom heard this and sighed; "For goodness sakes baby, to help you out of the hole!"
"Oh! Right!" my eyes widened
The boy shook his head with laughter and offered me his hand. I graciously accepted and said; "Thanks hon."
"Um, no problem, Kobe." He smiled
"Kobe! Zigzag! Over here please." My mom called. As we approached she grabbed me into a bone-cracking hug. "I missed you Koko!"
"Ugh. Mom, no one calls me KoKo anymore!" I complained
"Oh, well anyways. These boys are Squid, Magnet, Stanley and you just met Zigzag." She introduced me to three other fine looking boys.
"Hey." They all nodded
"Hey Muffins." I nodded in reply. They all looked at me strange. Muffins?
"Oh! Right, well, I speak strange. I call people Muffin, Sugar, Babe, Baby, Hon, Hunny, I honestly have no clue why. I just always have." I told them, the strange looks disappearing from their faces
"Well, Kobe Adrienne, I need to go take care of things back at the cabin. Boys, will you show Kobe around?" my mom asked them
"Sure M'am. But what do we do with her when it's dinner time?" Zigzag asked her
"Uh, well, take her to the Dining Hall or whatever it's called with you. I'll be introducing her tonight anyways. Don't let anyone near her, capiche?" she instructed
"Yes Warden M'am." Was the reply that the mumbled
"Well, I'm off. See you later baby." She gave me a hug and then walked off to the cabin in a whirl of dust and a cheap perfume
"So, boys. What is there to do around here?" I asked
"Oh no! There's that guy! Oh no, he'd definitely try for a caliente Chica like you!" Magnet trembled; obviously worried something would happen to the warden's daughter in their care
"Run!" Zigzag cried as he took off towards the tent
"Wha-what?" I asked. I didn't get an answer, all I got was Squid picking me up and throwing me over his shoulders and pushing me inside a tent
"Um, explanation please?" I asked, tapping my converse chucked feet
"Well, that guy is very dangerous to girls. We actually had a girl here once, in B tent. He went after her."
"Did he ever." Stanley mumbled quietly
"Uh, that doesn't really clarify being picked up and pushed into a tent." I said impatiently
"Well, he hurt her pretty badly. Let's just say she had to leave. That's why Squidly here picked you up and brought you into our tent. Warden's daughter or not, he'd go after you." Zigzag told me
"Oh god. Thank's…Squidly." I smiled
"No problem!" he laughed, somewhat blushing. I reached up and gave him a big hug.
Then, just as I broke the hug, the loud unfamiliar buzzer sound rang throughout. "Ouch! What is that?" I moaned, pressing my hands to my ears
"Dinner!" Stanley laughed. "If you can call it that, come on we have to go." And he motioned for me to follow them out the smelly tent
"Oh lord, that guy is there. Here, Ziggy, give me a piggy back!" I demanded. He looked at me questioningly but didn't refuse. "Ok, I guess. Squid and Mag lift her up." He instructed
The two boys came around and put their arms around me and under my but (a/n – don't be perverted. How else would they get her up? Well, probably another way but I'm so nervous about exams I can't really think logically right now!) and lifted me up onto Zigzag's broad back.
"Weee!" I screeched as he carried me towards the mess hall. Just at that moment my mom exited the mess hall or whatever it was called and gave me a look. A look that suggested she was about to yell at Ziggy, but I cut her off. "Look at me mom!"
"I see you Kobe. Now, Zigzag please put my daughter down. It makes me nervous to see her up so high." She asked
"Yes m'am." Magnet and Squid quickly came to Zigzag's side and lifter me off his shoulders.
"Well, come on guys! Let's go eat." I exclaimed. They looked at me like I was crazy and once again burst out laughing. Mom gave those boys looks that said 'stop laughing now, please and thank you. I don't want my baby girl to be disgusted before she gets in there.' Immediately they stopped and looked at me.
"M'am, may Kobe sit with our table tonight?" Squid asked
"Um, I'm not sure. What do you think KoKo?" she turned to me
I glared at her then looked up at Squid (wow, he's pretty tall. Ziggy's even taller though. HeHe, I'm only 5'4). "Sure, I'd love to. Show me where you all sit."
"Okay." He grinned
"Mom, will you be serving us?" I asked mom. They boys looked at me and began to shake from contained laughter
She looked at me, turning as red as a tomato; "Sure, baby. But just this once." We walked into the dining hall. Immediately it fell quiet. "Attention staff! Tonight, in honor of my daughter Kobe's arrival, we will be serving. Camper's, please sit down." Mom yelled loudly.
A series of hoots and hollers of joy echoed throughout the hall from campers, but groans and complaints from staff were heard as well. "Come on, Kobe. This is where D-tent sits." Stanley, or, Caveman led me to a table. I sat down between Zigzag and Squid.
A boy with very thick, dirty, coke bottle glasses was staring me down. "Who are you?" I asked. He looked taken a back by my forwardness.
"X-ray. You've met Magnet, Caveman, Zigzag and Squid. So that curly haired kid is Zero, and think stinky-ass here is Armpit." He nudged the large boy next to him. Armpit just stared at him, but then started to laugh. "I'm called armpit because I don't take baths OR brush my teeth."
"Eww!" I screeched
"Who are you?" X-ray retorted
"Kobe, the Warden's my mom," I smiled smugly. "How else would you be getting served instead of having to get up and get it?"
"Oh, right. You're Kobe." He began to pick at something that looks like moldy, crusty jello.
"No duh." I remarked
"Kobe! Baby, let's go!" My mom called
"Just a minute Ma!" I yelled back
"Boys, what do you guys do after supper?" I asked
"Well, we go to the wreck room mostly. Or we're in our tent." Zigzag told me
"Oh, is it okay if I come hang out with you? I mean, there isn't anyone here really that I can hang out with." I asked
They looked at each other skeptically, before X-ray replied; "Sure, I guess so. But tonight we have counseling with mom. At about 8:00 or something stupid like that. I doubt it'd be any fun for you."
"Oh! I don't mind! See you later!" I chimed in before skipping off towards the door
This, was definitely going to get interesting.
