I screamed at the top of my lungs and rolled off the bed as a bell rang.
"What the hell is that?" Animal demanded.
"I don't know, but I'm getting ready to shove it up someone's ass," I growled.
"Come down chicas," Magnet laughed, "It just means it time for breakfast."
"It's still dark out," Animal hissed.
It's to avoid the hottest part of the day," Squid shrugged.
"You'll get used to it," X-ray shrugged. I groaned. I walked slowly out of the tent after I put on my orande jump suit.
"Well good morning Sara," Mr. Pandanski said.
"It's Switch," I mumbled. Mr. Sir handed me a shovle and I followed Magnet.
"I wish I choose juvy. At least you get to sleep in," I complianed. He laughed and handed me something covered in honey.
"It's actually not that bad," he said taking a bite.
"Wait, you excpect me to eat this?" I asked. He smiled.
"Yup." Then he started to walk away and I ran to catch up to him.
"So is digging hard?" I asked. Truth was I have never dug a hole deeper then two feet, and that was because I needed to hide a stolen top dump truck.
"The first hole is hard, but I think you can handle it," he smiled. I grinned.
"Really, and why is that?" I asked, fluttering my etelashes playfully at him.
"You're strong, have that 'I'll do whatever it takes' attitude, and you don't seem like the type of girl to give up," he said. I blushed and thanked god it was to dark for him to see the color change in my face.
"Um, thanks," I said, "What about Animal, what do you think of her?" He thought for a minute before answering.
"She's tougher and a lot harder then you are. She has a 'I hate the world' attitude and is kind of rude. It seems like she's been through a lot in her life," he explained. I nodded.
"You're good," I said. We walked in silence as Mr. Sir told us where to dig.
"So what happened to her then?" he asked as Mr. Sir told Animal where to dig. I looked up for a second before stabbing the ground with my shovel.
"What happened to who?" I asked. He nodded toward Animal.
"Oh, um, well it's a really long story," I said starting to dig again.
"Well we've got time," he said.
"Well, for starters her mom left when she was two months old, and he dad is abusive. She spends a lot of time with me, and I pratically grew up on the streets," I explained.
"Were you homeless?" he asked. I snorted.
"My parents are millionairs," I asid, "I just love the feeling I get when I'm doin' something I'm not suppost to do."
"That's why you're here," he laughed. I giggled.
"Yeah. Well anyways, the combination between her mom, dad, and living a life full of crimes, she turned cold. If you get to know her better you'll like her," I said. He nodded."What about you. What's your story?" He grinned.
"Well, I got sent here because I stole a puppy," he said. I laughed.
"I stole an Elf kitten once," I chuckled. His eyes widened.
"Really?" he asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, but my parents bought it for me afterwards. I named her Sugar," i said.
"Cool," he said. After that we didn't talk much, and I was glad when the water truck came around.
"Let me see your hands," Magnet commanded. I showed him my hands. They were red and covered in blistards.
"Ow!" I shouted as I poked one.
"Why'd you touch it," Squid laughed. I glared at him.
"Here," Magnet said handing me his gloves. I shook my head.
"I can't take these. Then your hands will hurt," I said. He put them in my hands.
"My hands have hardend, they won't blister," he assured. I slipped the gloves on.
"Thanks," I said handing Mr. Pandansko my water jug.
"No problem," he said starting to dig his hole again.
Five hours later I was still working on my hole, it was only me and Armpit.
"So what do you guys usually do after digging?" I asked.
"Shower and then we head to the rec room," he said.
"A shower sounds really good," I said as I threw the last shovel full of dirt to the side.
"You want me to stay and wait for you?" I asked.
"Naw, I'll be fine," he said. I shriugged and walked back to camp. When I got to the tent I seen Zero laying in his cot.
"Hey Zero, can you turn so I can change?' He nodded and turned and faced the wall. I quickly changed and walked toward the rec room. When I opened the door I saw Squid showing Animal how to play pool, and they were really close. I smirked.
"Switch, over here!" X=ray shouted. I seen him and the rest of the D-tenters playing cards. I walked over to them and sat in a chair beside Magnet.
"I put your gloves on your bed," I told him.
"Okay, thanks," he said studying his cards.
"You wanna play?" Armpit asked, "We play for shower tokens." I shook my head.
"I'll watch," I said. I watched as Zigzag glanced nervously at X-ray.
"So how was your first hole?" Armpit asked. I grunted,
"I can't wait 'til tomorrow," I said sarcastically. Magnet smiled.
"The second hole is worst," X-ray said. I started at him confused.
"You hurt more and the fun's gone," he explained.
"What fun?" I asked.
"Come on, every kid wants to dig a hole to China," he said. I thought for a minute and found out he was right.
"Damn, I'm goin' to dir before this is all over," I complained. Then Magnet fanned all his card on the table.
"A huevo!" he said jumping up. I stared at him admiringly. He grabbed all the tokens that were in the middle of the table.
"Damn it, that was my last one," Armpit said. Magnet's eyes widened as he gave Armpit two tokens.
"That wasn't for your sake it was for min," Magnet said. I giggled.
"So what did that mean?" I asked when everyone went to watch Squid and Animal play pool.
"Oh, um, it meant hell yeah" he embarrassly said.
"Don't be embarrassed, I have always wanted to know Spanish," I told him.
"I could teach you," he suggested, obviously happy about what I said. My eyes lit up.
'Really?" I said. He nodded. Then the door opened and Mr. Pandanski came in.
"It's time for our 'No Judgement' circle," he annouced. The D-tent boys groaned as I followed them back to our tent.
