Chapter 7

A couple of weeks had passed since X-Ray showed the lipstick tube to the warden. Since then Caveman had started to teach Zero to read and write and in exchange Zero dug a part of his hole. Drama and Fox weren't that bothered by it but the guys were and it went too far one day.

"Hey Caveman, I'll give you my cracker if you let me dig your hole." Zigzag said laughing. He had taken extra crackers from lunch and was now messing with Caveman.

"Go on take it." Zigzag said.

Caveman pushed the cracker away, "No."

"I said take it." Zigzag said and pushed it into his mouth slapping him in the face.

Mr. Pendanski saw this and said to Caveman, "Well go on Stanley hit him back."

So Caveman did. And it turned into a huge fight between the two the Mr. Pendanski couldn't control. Zero jumped on to Zigzag back and was chocking him.

"Zero! Zero let go of him man!" Drama said when she saw that Zigzag was losing air fast.

Armpit finally pried Zero off of Zigzag and Mr. Pendanski went to go get the warden.

"What do you have to say for yourselves?" The warden said.

"Well Caveman and Zigzag started fight and then Zero started choking Zigzag here, I had to pull him off him." Armpit said, "It was probably just the sun getting to him."

"Yeah we've been working all day while Caveman just sits around and does nothing." Zigzag said.

"Now, Caveman digs his hole like everyone else."

"Sometimes. Zero been digging a part of Caveman hole every day."

"Is this true?"

"I'm teaching him how to read." Caveman tried to explain.

"Okay from now on no more reading lessons and no more digging each others holes."

"But can't I just teach him without-."

"No! No more reading lessons!" The warden demanded.

"You see his brain can't process the information. It wasn't the sun it was his brain over working. Zero what does C-A-T spell?" Mr. Pendanski said. Zero stayed silent.

"You see?" Mr. Pendanski handed Zero the shovel, "He's only good for one thing. Hey Zero what does D-I-G spell?"

Zero again stayed silent before quickly hitting Mr. Pendanski over the head with the shovel, "Dig!" He yelled and ran off away from camp, shovel still in hand.

"Yes! Go Zero Go!" Caveman, Drama and Fox cheered. Some of the other guys cheered to.

"Quiet!" The warden yelled, "Back to work!" She turned to Caveman, "I still expect 9 holes." She said.

Later that day Drama, Fox and Caveman were walking up to the tent when they heard voices, they stood outside to listen.

"Can we get his records erased?" The wardens' voice said.

"Yes but trust me no one cares about Hector Zeroni." Mr. Pendanski voice said.

The trio choose this moment to walk in right before the three adults walked out.

"We care." Caveman said simply. Drama and Fox just gave the adults the dirtiest looks they could muster.


Short compared to my other chapters but I thought it should end there.

Nothing much to say expect that I would like it very much if you took a few seconds out of your day to review. :)
