Part 8: Replacements
[WARNING: This chapter has swears and some very PG13 stuff in it. First I'd like to say that I don't like swears, or some of this stuff in here (I'm 13) but you know the characters in Holes do swear a little, and I don't want to change the character or anything. Also, This new character you're going to see, she's very.... un-Becky-like. lol! I'm just warning you, so go ahead and read if you don't think it will bother you. (there's no sex or anything like that, just a note. I NEVER put that in any of my fanfics.) Do you get what I'm saying?]
Becky was still traveling, stumbling over holes and avoiding yellow spotted lizards. She was tired, hungry, and thirsty. She was almost grumpy.
"I need a bath." she said disgustedly and she climbed over a hole mound. That as when she realized she was a couple miles still from the mountain.
"Oh, this is great." she said sitting down hard. "Ouch!"
*
The boys were at the mountain now. They had been waiting for quite a while.
"I don't think she's going to show, Magnet. Besides, the Warden must have noticed by now...... that we're gone." said ZigZag.
Just as he spoke about a dozen guards started coming towards them, yelling and screaming.
"Aw crap."
*
"WHAT WERE YOU GUYS DOING OUT THERE?" shouted the Warden as they got inside.
"We were...... er......." they tried to explain it in a necessary answer.
"Looking for Becky, weren't you." she answered. There was a silence.
"No. No. Of course not! Why would they do that?" they all started saying nervously. The Warden put her hand near her gun.
"I'm not stupid, boys. Now get to the cafeteria! I SAID GET!" The boys all scrambled up and ran.
*
In the cafeteria no one was eating, but sitting and facing the Warden. She had her arms crossed, glaring around the room.
"As most of you know, one of our female campers has run away. This we cannot afford, so I have called in a replacement for her. She will be called Bookworm from now on, and if any police officer comes asking for a girl named Becky Stell, point to her WITHOUT hesitation. Got it? Our new replacement is Hilary Frinsworth." As she said the name, a girl walked in. She had almost the same hair as Becky, her eyes the same color, and about the same height. Though their faces didn't look anything alike, and she was much more slender and model-like looking. She wore VERY short shorts and a belly shirt with no straps, that was very tight.
"Man she's hot! Much better than Becky was." said ZigZag, then Magnet elbowed him hard.
It was true. Many of the guys were staring at her, and this new girl seemed to like it. She was very flirty, and was smiling and waving at most of the boys.
"So, I'm in D Tent right?" she said, in a very girly and almost snobby but sweet voice. Magnet swore.
"Yes you are. EVERYONE IS DISMISSED! REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU!" the Warden barked.
D Tent walked up to Hilary, most of them grinning. They all started talking at once. The Warden was watching as she left the room.
"I'm ZigZag. Nice to meet you." said ZigZag, looking at everything but her face.
"And I'm Squid." said Squid, pushing ZigZag out of the way.
"HEY! I saw her first!"
"Wait wait wait! I have heard that my man is supposed to be someone named Magnet. Turns out the Warden said they've been smooching almost every night?" she said, and all the boys turned their heads sharply to Magnet.
"At 3 o'clock in the morning I should add." she said. Magnet swore under his breath again.
"You WHAT!?!" all the boys shouted at him.
"Oh be quiet. So I'd take this is Magnet, then?" said Hilary, walking up to Magnet and wrapping her arms around him, putting her face close to hers. Magnet made a face at her.
"Dam*" said ZigZag, as all the guys just stood there, watching her.
"Get off of me." he said rudely.
"That's no way to talk to your girlfriend is it?" she said, her flirty grin twisting into a very evil grin, in Magnet's perspective.
"I said get off of me!" he said, ignoring her. That didn't stop her though. She kissed him, though much more intensely than Becky ever did, though in a very soft, beautiful way. She held him there for a long time, then pulled back when she needed air. Magnet gaped at her, then she grinned that evil grin again, and turned around to the other boys, who were also gaping at her.
"Shall we head to the tent?" she asked sweetly, and started to leave. Magnet just stood there. X-Ray went up to him, and hit him in the arm playfully, grinning.
"You are the luckiest man in the world, you know that?" said Squid as he passed them. Magnet just shook his head, and followed.
*
"This girl is SICK!" Magnet said, shielding his eyes.
"Come on you're old girlfriend left you, now look what you got! She's a thousand times better!" said Squid. Magnet took of squid's hat and whacked him hard with it, then threw it across the room.
"Hey!" he shouted, then went to get it.
Magnet turned around, facing the wall so he wouldn't see. Like Becky, Hilary asked where she was supposed to get dressed. Unlike Becky, she didn't go outside. Though she did go behind one of the beds and turn around. She wasn't hiding very well though.
"Lighten up alittle. You know she's dead anyways." said X-Ray.
"She's NOT dead." Magnet snapped.
"Magnet, I know how you must feel. I'm really sorry. But as you know, my duty is to take her place, so you'll have to learn to love me." said Hilary, coming back out dressed. Magnet glared at her. She walked gracefully over to his bed, and sat down, putting her arms around him from behind. Magnet heard some of the other guys scowling.
"Why do you go hug them, they're the ones that seem to want you anyway." snapped Magnet. Hilary jumped away, surprised, then angry.
"My JOB is to be Becky for the next few months. Becky was in love with you, so I have to be in love with you, and you have to be in love with me! Do you think I really wanted to come here and dig all day? I only came cause I heard there's like, a dozen tents here full of hot guys, which I've already seen. And YOU are one of them." she said, putting her hands on her hips. Magnet just shook his head.
"Come on. Don't tell me you don't think Becky likes you for other than your looks." she said scowling. Magnet stood up, glaring again.
"She's NOT one of you. She does NOT act like any of the girls like you! Have you even SEEN her?"
"No."
Magnet went to his bag and took out Becky's school picture from the year before she was sent here. Her hair was longer back then, but otherwise she looked like she did when she arrived. In her picture she was wearing a shirt that was striped of blue, white, and gray. She was wearing jeans, thought you couldn't see much of them in the picture. Her braces were off, and her white teeth were showing in the picture.
"Ew she's ugly." said Hilary.
"You're only saying that because she doesn't look like..... that." said Magnet, looking at her.
"I don't know what you see in her."
"I don't care what she looks like!" Magnet shouted, sighing angrily, sitting back down and put her picture back. Then Hilary gasped, like she hadn't even heard him.
"Am I going to have to dress like that while I'm here?"
Magnet scowled.
*
Magnet woke up as he felt someone sit down next to him.
Guess who, he thought angerly.
"Go away."
No answer, but he could feel her heart beating, and her breathing. Magnet slowly turned around, then gasped.
Hilary was dressed in very unusual pajamas, mostly a nightgown. He gulped, then turned back around.
"It's 3 a.m." she said softly.
"So."
'I told the Warden that you aren't going with our plan. She's watching us right now. She says if you don't go according to the plan she'll shoot you." she said in a sweet, calming voice.
"Yeah right. Why is it so important, anyway?"
"I'm not allowed to tell." she said, climbing into the bed with him.
"Get out!" he kicked her out, and she stumbled out onto the floor.
"HEY!" she said, but Magnet was ignoring her, trying to go back to sleep.
She got up angrily, then grabbed Becky's old cd player. "I know she'd always play a song before she fell asleep. Let's she what she was playing before she...*ahem* died."
Hilary pushed on the play button, and the soft music began to play. "Ah, she likes Michelle Branch, does she?"
Magnet didn't know what she was talking about.
I wanted to be like you.
I wanted everything.
So I tried to be like you,
And I got swept away........
I didn't know that it was so cold and,
You needed someone to show you the way.........
So I took your hand and we figured out that,
When I tide comes I'd take you away.........
If you want to I can save you,
I can take you away from here.
So lonely inside,
So busy out there,
And all you wanted was somebody to cares.
Magnet just sat and was listening, thinking about the last time she played this song. It was when they creeped out into the empty tent together. She put it on, and said this song described her the most. Then they had told eachother they loved one another........
Magnet suddenly was half asleep, and he didn't even feel Hilary's lips come to his. What he did see was the desert, and Becky was there. She was standing in front of him, smiling, then she kissed him, for a long time. Slowly two other people started to appear behind them, also kissing. One of black, one was white. One's name was Sam, the other's Kathrine.
*
Becky jerked awake, breathing hard. She couldn't believe what she had just dreamed. Magnet was there, but Kate and Sam were also there. Both couples were kissing at the same time.
"Weird." she said to herself, then lowered herself back down and quickly fell back asleep behind one of the filled up holes.
