Chapter 4- The First Hole
Desiree woke up around 3:30 in the morning. She pulled on
her UGLY orange uniform and waited for an hour, staring into
space until the boys woke up to the alarm. She couldn't sleep
because Armpit was so noisy while he was sleeping. He made such
random snorting noises that the birds decided it was pointless to
chirp. But there were no birds. Oh well.
Anyway, the alarm sounded and woke the very tired males in
the tent. Magnet yawned. "How long have you been up, chica?"
"Don't call me that," she snapped.
"Well gosh, you look wide awake, but you sure are
grouchy."
"Armpit kept me up all night with his random snoring
sounds," she told him.
*Flashback*
Desiree was at camp during the summer a few years ago, and she
met this girl named Ann. They were staying in the same cabin.
"I hope you're a heavy sleeper," Ann warned her, "because I snore
really loudly."
Of course, as luck had it, she wasn't a heavy sleeper.
In the middle of the night, Desiree woke with a start. She heard a
bear growling on the other side of the cabin. She pulled the covers
around her and forced herself to look.
It was Ann, snoring with her mouth open and her arms flailing in
the air. It was really weird.
*End of flashback*
"Nice going, Pit!" called X-ray, punching him. "Hey, I can't
control my snoring any more than you freaks can!" shouted
Armpit, getting out of his drool soaked cot.
"Relax, Pit, it was just a joke," said ZigZag.
"No it wasn't," said Squid, "you can't be keeping pretty girls
up all night with your lame snoring!"
Desiree smiled at him and left the tent for breakfast without
a word. "I think she likes me," said Squid, starting to change.
This time ZigZag whacked him in the head. "Hey no fair
Zig! It was my turn to whack Squid!" yelled X-ray. "How about
we all whack him?" suggested Caveman who was always trying to
be the peacemaker. Everyone, including Zero, whacked Squid in
the head.
"Hey Desee, wait up!"
Desiree threw her shovel down on the ground and wiped the
sweat off of her forehead, which didn't work too well because her
hands were dirty. Now she had a gross smear across her face. She
was really dehydrated, and it certainly didn't help that she refused
to eat the breakfast that had been served to her in the morning.
She looked in disbelief at Zero who was practically finished
with his hole already. "How'd you manage that?!" she asked. He
didn't answer. Desiree realized he hadn't heard what she said
because her voice was so dry and raspy.
Clearing her throat, she returned to her hole. "I swear, after I
get outta here I'll never dig another hole as long as I live," she said
to herself. "The first hole's the hardest." Desiree jumped. She
looked up to see Squid [A/N never would have guessed that]
standing over her. "What do you want," she asked, kind of
annoyed. This wasn't the best time to disturb her like that. "I just
wanted to see how you were doing with your hole."
"Oh. Well I'm fine. You can go back to digging."
As soon as he walked away her hands went to her mouth.
Sucking on her blisters Desiree wondered for the thousandth time
why she had put herself in this situation.
By the time Desiree finished her hole it was noon. Now she
sat relaxing in the wreck room, doing her nails with the cheap
polish she had stolen from that drug store so many months ago.
She had changed out of her jumpsuit and had put on her
FAVORITE shirt- the Green Monkeys one. Twitch walked up to
her now and asked her about it.
"Green Monkeys? Who're they?"
"You know that show that they took off the air a long time
ago called Legends of the Hidden Temple on Nickelodeon?"
"Oh yeah! With Omec the talking head and that awesome
host, Kirk Fogg?"
"That's the one! I was on it! I was on the Green Monkeys
team, and we came in second place. I got to hide in the temple as a
temple guard at the end and catch the unsuspecting team that had
beaten us. They didn't win the grand prize, I STOPPED THEM!
Yay! *Spazzes*"
"I wish the TV wasn't broken and the show wasn't off the
air so I could see you on the show. How old were you?"
"Ten years old. That was almost six years ago! The shirt was
big then, but now it fits me just fine."
"That's really cool. I remember I used to root for the Green
Monkeys, the Purple Parrots, and the Silver Snakes. The Blue
Barracudas were ok, and the other two sucked."
A couple hours later, Desiree was fast asleep [Squid: like a
little angel *smack*].
*Dream Sequence*
Desiree was stuck inside one of the holes she was digging; she was
so far down that she could just barely make out the mouth of the
hole. She screamed for help until she lost her voice. Suddenly, a
hooded figure peered down at her. "I'll help you," a boy's voice
echoed down at her. She reached up, but the hole was too deep. He
reached down for her. Just as he was about to pull her up where
she could see his face, there was a flash of light and Desiree woke
with a start. She turned over and immediately went back to sleep.
When she awoke the next morning, she did not remember the
dream at all.
