Squid groaned and turned over in his cot. The morning trumpet was playing loudly from Mr. Pendanski, and he heard the continuous groans from the rest of the D-tent boys who were slowly trudging out of bed.
Another morning to wake up. Another morning of exhausting digging. Another morning to regret ever coming to this stupid camp.
"Common Magnet, get up!" He heard from across the tent. Slowly Squid slid out of bed, yawned, and stretched his arms high in the air.
"You ready for some diggin?" X-ray asked as Magnet rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
"Always ready."
"Good." Zigzag combed his fingers through his hair and left the tent, everybody else behind him.
"Today's gonna be a good day…I can feel it." Magnet said in content. He dug his shovel into his all ready 1 foot deep hole.
"Man, you're starting to sound like the Warden." Zigzag groaned.
"Yeah..besides, you say that every day, Mag." X-ray agreed. He looked up, checked that each boy was digging, the resumed on his own hole.
The hours slowly went by silently until X-ray yelled out, "Water's here!"
As always, each of the seven boys went up to get in line.
"Get in your place in line, Zig!" Armpit yelled, shoving him forward. Zigzag sighed, rolling his eyes, before X-ray's eyes bulged.
"Zig! Look out!" Squid saw the water truck coming. Mr. Sir obviously searching for his sunflower seeds, wasn't looking where he was going.
Oh, god. Just like in the dream! Squid's breathing became rapid. He didn't know what to do.
The other boys just stood still, watching, frozen. That is, until Squid jumped to push Zigzag out of the way.
But not in time.
