Chapter Four: Squid's Question

Disclaimer: I don't own Holes, but I do own the new characters. Please don't take the new ones. Thank You!

Recap: "Can I ask you something?" Squid asked.
"Sure anything." I said

"Have you ever had anyone you really love die?" That was Squid's question. Damn, that's hard to answer.
"Well my mother died, so I guess yeah." I replied.
"What do you mean you guess?" he asked.
"Well, she was my mom so I guess I loved her." I said, but that didn't seem to satisfy him.
"But no one you really loved has died?" he asked again.
"Well no, I guess not. Why do you ask?" I asked.
"No reason." He replied.
I knew he meant something and I knew he was gonna tell me when he was ready to talk. I thought maybe he would like some alone time. I got up and walked to the door and I turned around and said, "I'll be in the wreck room if you wanna talk, ok?"
"Yeah, ok, thanks." He said

I walked to the wreck room and saw X-Ray playing pool with Caveman. I walked over and started to watch. "X, you ain't gonna make that shot." I stated.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I mean you gotta shoot more in the middle of the cue ball." I responded
"I been playing pool since I could hold a stick. I think I know what I'm doing." He said.
"Fine, just trying to help." I said as I watched him miss his shot. "See, what did I tell you?"
"Shut-up!" X-Ray yelled.
"Kaylee, since your so good, why don't you take over for me?" Caveman suggested.
"Sure, if it's ok with your royal highness, here." I said as I pointed to X-Ray.
"Well, um, shit, fine." He said, "Lets just start over."
