* Author notes * This is my first fic and I decided to go with a Holes
idea. Obviously I do not own Holes, although I would like to, although
later characters that don't sound familiar are mine. I hope you enjoy!!
Squid sat nervously on the couch in the Wreck Room. He knew he was being checked out by the other guys, and then were suspicious. What had he done?
Zig Zag nudged Caveman quietly and said, "Hey, man, what's up with Squid?"
"Dude, I don't know. Looks sick maybe. Maybe he's traumatized from a YELLOW- SPOTTED LIZARD!" Caveman and Zig Zag laughed at Squid's new fear of the lizards. Ever since he saw one giving another a piggyback, he was terrified. Maybe he had seen it again. "Nah, couldn't be. Looks too much like he's hiding something."
"Hiding?" X-Ray overheard. "Who's hiding?"
"Squid's been too quiet lately and we dunno what's wrong with him, man," Zig Zag explained. Squid perked up at the sound of his name, gave Zig Zag the evil eye, and resumed back to his picking at the fluff on the couch. Zero walked over to Squid.
"Dude, what's wrong?" Zero asked quietly.
"Nothing. Not important." Squid shrugged. Zero shook his head.
"No, seriously. I won't tell the other guys. I swear to secrecy," he said softly.
"You swear?"
"Yep."
"Did you see that chick yesterday?"
"What chick?"
"Ya know, they was a babe hanging around with the Warden!"
"A chick? I ain't see no chick!" Zero looked around.
"No, dumbass. A girl. Not a chicken!" Squid laughed.
"Oh, right. Sure." Zero blushed.
"I know her."
"Well that's great! Why don't you hook up or something?" Zero suggested.
"She went to my school. Her name's Steph. We were friends until grade 4 and then she moved away. In grade 6 she came back to visit, and we started going out. Long distance relationship." Squid explained. "I don't see any bad in this..." Zero said as he saw Magnet walk over. Magnet saw the two of them talking, took a hint, and went over to Armpit.
"Then I met another girl who was interested in me. While Steph was back at her home. I didn't like this new chick, I wanted my Steph. Her name was Megin. Megin got the impression that we were going out so she broke Steph and me up. Steph thinks it was me and is holding it against me. Then I saw her yesterday and was immediately back in love. She gave me the cold shoulder and I dunno, I can't be myself without Steph. Right after we broke up, that's when I came to Green Lake."
"Whoa. Toughie. Let's hope you see her 'round, ya know? Talk to her a bit, explain it to her, and if she asks why you're here, tell her it's because you loved and missed her so much, you would do anything to get away from Megin," Zero suggested, with his eyes lit up.
"Thanks, man, you're awesome."
