Hello! I'm finally out of prison (aka school) so now I can get my writin
on! I had my solo last week. I sang "I need you" by LeAnn Rimes. It was
fun. My Earth Science teacher and my mom and stepmom were crying, so I
don't know if I was good or bad, lol. Well, everyone else gave me a
standing ovation, but hey, they're my friends! They're SUPPOSED to give me
standing ovations, lol! Anyways, I've got a surprise in store for you
kiddies! Oh, and Thank you reviewers! YOU ROCK ANUS! Oh, and to the flamer:
Really . . . I'm to young to be doing that and plus my story is an
inanimate object . . . but if you meant the boys . . . er *clears throat*
Let's not go there. It would've been more helpful to me if you had pointed
out any flaws or anything about this story that I could correct instead of
saying, "Fuck you and your fucking story!" So . . . I guess you sorta
wasted your time writing that 'cause I used it to put on my tiki torches in
my backyard to ward off bugs. I would prefer constructive criticism,
thanks.

The sun was now high in the sky, beating down on D-tent. Willa paused to wipe the sweat from her brow, and then continued digging.
"What the hell." Zigzag said. Willa looked over the side of her hole and saw what Zigzag had been talking about. A dirty yellow bus was making its way down the road towards the camp.
"That can't be a new guy. There ain't any vacancies." Squid said, squinting at the bus. Willa peeked over the side of her hole in time to see the bus pull in front of the camp.
"Oof!" She said, losing her grip on the side of the hole and falling back in. Zigzag burst into giggles, and the others nearby smiled in amusement.
"Don't worry, I'll get y'all for that once I get outta this hole!" Willa said.
"You mean IF." Squid teased. Willa glared at him from in her hole.

Soon D-tent was heading back towards the camp to shower. Willa cleaned up in her private shack and then walked back to her tent. To her surprise, someone was already there. The girl had her back to Willa. She had waist length brown hair with red highlights and was a few inches taller than Willa. The girl turned around and gasped when she saw Willa. Her hazel eyes showed surprise.
"Who're you?" The girl said, her voice showing a slight Brooklyn accent.
"I'm Will-Jewel. You just came this afternoon, right?" Willa said.
"Yeah. So we gotta wear these rags everyday?" The girl said, looking down at the orange uniform she was wearing.
"Yeah. Eventually you'll get used to it." Willa said. The girl snorted.
"So . . . where are the other girls?"
"We're the only girls . . . " Willa said. The girl tilted her mouth a bit and nodded.
"Tawnia? Are you done yet? Oh, good, you already met Willa. Let's go meet the boys." Pendanski said. He led them out of the tent and over to D-tent. He pulled back the tent flap and everyone looked up. "Alright. Boys, we have another new girl! Her name is Tawnia!" Pendanski then proceeded to introduce each of the boys. X-ray sighed and stepped up.
"We go by nicknames here. I'm X-ray, and that's Armpit, Magnet, Zigzag, Jewel, Squid, Caveman and Zero." Tawnia stared at X-ray for a moment, and then gave him a lopsided smile.
"Cute." She said. X-ray's gaze lingered on her for a while longer before he brushed past her and made his way out of the tent. Willa blinked. Had she seen what she thought she seen? Did X-ray like Tawnia? She looked at X- ray's retreating back, and then at Tawnia, who was watching him. Tawnia saw Willa looking at her.
"He's hot." Tawnia mouthed, then smiled. Willa smiled. If he did, then it could definitely be a perfect match.
"So . . . let's show her the Wreck Room." Willa said, aware that all the boys with the exception of Squid were staring at Tawnia. Willa led the way out of the tent, the others following. X-ray was already there when they arrived. Tawnia smiled at him as she sat by Willa on the couch. He glanced at her for a moment and then averted his gaze to the pool table and pretended to watch Armpit, Squid and Magnet play. Squid soon switched out with Zigzag and sat down on the other side of Willa. He put his arm around her and nuzzled her neck. They both giggled and started kissing while X-ray and Tawnia rolled their eyes.
"I'll leave you guys to . . . well . . . yeah." Tawnia said, getting up from her spot and sitting in another chair that happened to be right next to X-ray. She smiled at him.
"Hey," She said "So . . . how is it like here normally?"
"Lemme put it this way: You get up in the morning, you dig, then dig some more. After you're done, you ain't got much strength to do anything else." X-ray said. As he looked at her, he noticed that her brown eyes had a hint of violet in them. He started to ponder this, but realized that he was staring. He cleared his throat and abruptly looked away.
"That's it? We just dig holes twenty-four seven? That's just crunchy!" Tawnia exclaimed. X-ray nodded a little, though he really didn't know what crunchy meant.
"Yea, well, this ain't exactly heaven on earth. Where'd you come from 'fore you got sent here?" X questioned her.
"The Projects." She said. X-ray looked at her, shocked for a moment, and then laughed in disbelief.
"You? In the Projects? No way!" He said. Tawnia gave him a serious look, and he knew right then that she wasn't kidding. "So what'd you get sent here for?"
"I-I . . . I-I-I!" Tawnia began to stutter. X-ray eyed her curiously. All of a sudden, she sprang from her seat and walked briskly for the door. Everyone froze at this swift movement, for they weren't used to anyone being this energetic except Armpit when he broke into one of his little dances. X-ray jumped up and hurried after her.
"Whoa, whoa. Chill! Just chill, okay?" X-ray said, grabbing her arm to prevent her from going outside. Tawnia turned around quickly.
"Let go." She said.
"Not until you calm down, 'cuz now you actin' like the devil after yo' ass!" X-ray said, not loosening his grip on her hand.
"Alright . . . I'm calm. Now let go o' me." Tawnia shrugged her arm out of X-ray's grip and headed back to her chair. "I'll be fine just as long as you're not gon' start askin' all this shit."
"Aight, then." X-ray said, his eyebrow raised at her as he took his seat again. Tawnia looked around at everyone staring at her. She glared at them and they quickly went back to what they were doing.
To Tawnia's relief, the dinner bell sounded and everyone filed out of the Wreck Room and headed to the Mess Hall to eat.

Hope ya liked it! I'm gonna see Holes (again) tomorrow, so I'm like yay! Oh, and if you're vaguely wondering why I'm writing about X-ray, I've become obsessed about him over the past few days. His body is SEXY!
OOH! OOH! I almost forgot! I made a Holes page at if you wanna check it out. Please! ^_^
