Chapter 3: First Holes
"Ugh…" Kkay groaned as I tried to shake her awake. "5 more minutes…" She mumbled.
"Sorry," I answered her "Caveman's gonna introduce us to Armpit. And we have to dig our first hole." When she didn't move I reached over and grabbed her by the arm, pulling her off the cot.
"Watch out." Zero said walking past me, I looked at him confused but kept tugging on Kkay. She landed on my feet before I could move and took me down with her. When we both started laughing it woke up ZigZag and he looked down on us.
"Figures." He said, laughing slightly. Kkay got up with the help of Caveman and I got up with the help of Squid. I smiled at him. "Gracias." I said, thanking him. We walked out of the tent and I saw Zero in the distance. I looked around for Kkay but she was talking and laughing with Caveman. I laughed at her but quickly turned around when she glanced back at me.
I followed X-Ray up to a shabby wooden thing labeled: Library. He opened it up and started explaining things to me.
"This is the Library, we get the shovels here." "Clever…" I said, grabbing a shovel.
"We gotta dig one hole a day, as deep as the shovel and it has to be the shovels length all the way around the sides." He kept walking past holes until I didn't know how far we were from camp anymore and paused to look at him.
"We dig here." He stated. I looked around. I wrinkled my face up cause I didn't like what I saw and Caveman laughed at me. I glared at him but laughed anyway.
It had been a few hours and I was halfway done with my hole when I stopped and looked at how everyone else was doing. Kkay was farther than I was and Caveman was about where she was, but Zero was almost done. I gaped at him, then shook my head and kept digging. In a few minutes the water truck came.
I sighed and squirmed out of my hole, landing on my back. The sun was beating down on us and I could feel it burning my face. "Ow…" I mumbled as I got up. X-Ray walked over to me and put me behind Zero.
I sighed and grabbed an apple when I was done getting my water. "Sick…" Kkay said as she walked over to me, showing me her hands. I nodded and lifted mine up for her to see they were just as bad.
"First holes the hardest." Caveman said as he came over to sit with Kkay and I. "Damn. I hate digging, I used to like digging holes. I mean, I wanted to dig to China! But now I hate it!" I said.
Kkay leaned in toward Caveman and whispered "When shes mad, she rambles, if shes really mad, she rambles in Italian."
A few minutes later I shooed them away from my digging hole so I could dig. I had gotten farther in almost and hour and judged that it would only take me a half-hour to finish.
I heard footsteps from behind me. It was squid. "How long are you guys here for?" He asked me.
"Umm…2 years." I said laughing. Kkay laughed too. "But it wasn't our fault, we were being chase by murderers!" Kkay yelled defending ourselves. By now almost everyone had stopped digging and was listening to us. Kkay started to tell the story, since I had been there I started digging again and by the time she was done with the story I was done with the hole.
I tried to worm my way out but it wasn't working. I growled at the hole but tried again and still failed.
I leaned up against the side of the hole when I felt like rambling. "Smusso credo questo! Smusso persino mi ottengo da un foro? Che cosa è errato con me? E penso che Caveman gradisca Kkay, yea, conosco il kinda dei it! Thats cute, ma realmente desidero comunicare ancora con zero..."
(I can't believe this! I can't even get myself out of a hole? Whats wrong with me? And I think Caveman likes Kkay, yea, he does, I know it! That's kinda cute, but I really want to talk to Zero again...)
I saw a shadow and looked up. It was Twitch. "Need help?" he asked.
"What makes you think I need help?" I snapped at him. Regretting it after the words had already come out. He jumped in the hole.
"I heard you rambled in Italian when you were mad, so I figured you couldn't get out." He explained. I smiled.
"Wow. Yea, I do ramble, a lot…" I told him. "And I guess I do need help, sorry I snapped, it's a habit." He nodded. He jumped out of the hole with ease and I gaped at him. I threw my hands up in the air with defeat, since he had gotten out on his first try and I was still in here. He grabbed them midair and pulled me up.
"That was cool!" I yelled to him. "Grazie." I said. He looked at me dumbly. "Its thanks in Italian." I explained. I spit in my hole and we walked back to camp.
In another half-hour everyone was finished, and by the time I got back up to the tent Zero was already there.
I sat down on my cot, not wanting to eat. "Why'd you say that?" Zero asked me. I turned to look at him. "Huh?" I asked.
"Yesterday, you told Twitch I had more to offer…why?" He was now leaning on his arm and looking over at me.
"Because you do." Was all I said when Zig walked in. "You talked to him?" He asked me. I rolled my eyes and hit him on the head on my out of the tent.
"Later…" I said. I had gone for a walk even tough there was nothing really to see. By the time I got back it had been dark and I saw Kkay pacing the tent. When she saw me walking up to her she hit me.
"Ow, what was there for?" I asked her, rubbing my arm,
"You scared me you whore!" She yelled back. I was a whore and she was a Skank that's just what we called each other. I looked at her. "You didn't even tell me you where going! Where were you?" She asked me in rage.
"Walking." I said shrugging my shoulders. I sat on the cot. "Oh." She replied calming down. "Night." I rolled my eyes "Night." I answered.
