3 Bloody first hole

The trumpets go off and I fall out of my bed. I grab my work suit and change as fast as my batter body would allow me. Lucky for me the boys didn't look over. I put on and tied my boots, grabbed my pill container and shoved it in my pocket. Slowly I bent down to grab my canteen wincing at the movement. My body feels worse than it did yesterday. Quietly I followed the boys to the shed with the word 'Library' above it. I grab a shovel and a tortilla covered in honey eating it fast which made me gag when I was finished. We fill up our canteens then follow a truck out to the digging area.

It seemed like we were the farthest tent out. Even farther than F-tent. Mr.Sir gets out of his truck and walk over to me. "You'll dig here, five feet by five feet. Your shovel is your measuring stick. Got it?" He says as he marks the ground with an X with the heel of his boot. He climbs back in his truck and leaves. I hold my shovel putting my left boot on it and jumped with my right. After I did that I realized that was a stupid idea. I landed on my ribs. I continued to dig as my eyes tear up. Knowing by lunch my white under shirt will be died red with my blood.

Bout four hours later the water truck came back around. I was not even near two feet. Luck for me Mr. Pendanski was driving. He got out and the boys got in line. I stepped out of my hole trying hard not to show the pain I was in. X at the front me at the end. This would be my chance to talk to him. I slowly walk up. "How are you to day, Macon?" Mr.Pendanski asks me. I say nothing as he fills my canteen. I unbutton my suit a bit just enough to show him the blood. He hands me my canteen back. I set it on the ground. And pull him to the other side of the truck. "I need some more bandages." I tell him. He gives me a questioning look. I show him that I was bleeding through the bandages and the shirt I had on. "I'll bring you some back at lunch, and a new shirt ok?" I nod my head and thank him then button up my suit grab my canteen and go back digging.

"What was that all about?" X asks me. I ignore him. He gets up out of his hole, and drags me out of mine. Now I really wanted to cry. He grabbed me by the orange collar making me stand up. "I was talking to you." He says. I look up at him, I only five feet tall. "You really want to know what that was about." I say angrily. "Yeah I do." By now the rest of the tent is behind him. "Well that sucks 

for you." I say. I move his arms and go back to my hole. He grabs me. I flinch at his touch. "What did you show mom?" X asks, but this time in a harsh voice. "I showed him I needed new bandages. Not that's its any of your business!" Leaving X-Ray with a confused look upon his face I took the opportunity to go back to my hole. No luck. X grabs me by the back of my suit and yanks me back. He unbuttons my suit to see what I was talking about. 'Smarter than I thought'. I think to myself. Realizing what he was doing I tried to stop him. By the time he was done unbuttoning my suit he looked at me with wide eyes. My blood was soaking through pretty fast. "What the fuck happen to you?" Stoney asks. "You're a girl!" Armpit says in surprise. I nod my head debating with myself, not knowing what I should tell them. "I was in a fight. I end up like this." I say quickly. "What happened to the other guy?" Magnet asked. I slowly look at him, my eyes dead. Up until now I couldn't remember, but I didn't want to tell them. "They are worse off than me." I whisper but they could hear it.

I started to button it up but Zigzag stopped me. "You should probably leave it down." I took off the arms and tied it around my waist. By this action I was showing the guys the other cuts and bruises. The arms came untied in a second. Zigzag tied it for me. I thanked him. "Shit girl. You shouldn't be digging." Squid stated. I turn around and go back to my hole. "I have to be punished for what I did." I say as I grabbed my shovel. "I think you were." He said then went back to his hole, as did every one else. They don't know the rest of it. And I didn't plan on telling them.

Slowly lunch rolled around. The guys got in line. My hole was three feet deep. And as stupid as it sounded I couldn't get out. 'I must be pretty pathetic.' "Come on Macon." I hear Zigzag say. I try to get out. But fall back in. Zigzag sees this and helps me out. I grab my food and go back to my hole. Mr.Pendanski comes and hands me a bag. After telling me to put the bloody bandages and shirt in the bag, he gets in his truck and leaves.

The other guys came and sat by me. Eating there lunch in silence. Then finally Armpit speaks. "What's in the bag?" I finish eating then look. "Bandages, gauze, medical tape, water probably to clean my hands and stuff before I put the new bandages on, soap, a shirt and a note." I say. "Would you like some help?" Squid asks. "Sure." I get up and pull my blood soaked shirt off. They all stair at me. "It looks like they tried to kill you." Barfbag says. I smile softly. Knowing I was going to throw up I grabbed my canteen and walked to a previously dug hole kneeled down and threw up. A hand was on my back rubbing softly. They hand me my canteen I take a drink and swish it around my mouth then spit out. I took another drink and took my afternoon pills.



I got up and grab the water and the soap and wash all the way up to my elbows. Squid does the same. "Can you move your arms a bit?" He asks quietly. I nod. Then put my hands up behind my head. He cleans off cleans off my stomach and my back. I wince in pain every now and then. "Are you ok?" Zigzag asks as I flinch. My eyes start to water. "Just peachy!" I say. They just look at me. He cleans extra carefully around my stitches. "Any place I didn't get besides your wrists?" Squid asks me. I push my suit down before pushing down my boxers to show him the stitches below my navel. He carefully cleans it then puts my boxers back in to place. Then Squid ties my suit arms around my waist. He gently rewraps my writs.

X gets up and comes over and looks. "What do you mean punished? What did you do?" He asks. "Chica, you really shouldn't be digging." Magnet says with manor of authority. "I'll finish your hole. You don't have that much left." Stoney offers. "I tell you back at the tent." I tell them. "Finish her hole. Zig you take her back to the tent. But put the top of her jump suit back on." He tells the guys. He looked like he was thinking of something. And I was not going to argue. I grab the stuff and put it back in the bag. Then I was about to grab my shovel when Zig grabbed it be for me. I get the new white t-shirt and put it on with the help of X. He also helped me put the top of the boiler suit back on. I silently thanked him before I walked with Zigzag back to the tent. "You must hate being around a bunch of teenaged hormonal boys." Zig says to break the silence. I think for a minute. "It's better than being around girl complaining about PMS." He nods his head in agreement. "You don't do that do you?" I look at him. "Do what?" He looks straight ahead. "Complain about that?" I shake my head "Rarely." By the time we got to the tent he had to help me walk. He helps me sit down on my bed. Then he goes to take a shower.

"How long has she been out Zig?" I could hear X ask. "I don't know. She was awake when I left." Beds squeak as they sit down. "Good that means we can talk." X stats. After a couple seconds he continues. "We need to protect her. Watch over her. She needs to be with us at all times." He tells them. "Even to the bathroom?" Barfbag asks. "Yeah, even at the showers. Got that? No one outside this tent can know she is a girl." They all agree. "You want to know why I'm here." I say as them rolling over to face them, and then sit up. "Yes." Armpit says. I nod my head to agree. "No interruptions." They agree.
