[Sorry to break it to you guys, but I'm going to be out of town for the rest of this week and I don't know if I'll have a computer. And I probably won't. My grandma is moving into a rest home and my mom and I have to pack up her apartment and then we have a music convention in San Antonio. I'm so sorry, but I'll pick it right back up on Monday. See ya'll and don't stop reading!

Oh, and if it gets too confusing to remember whose kid is whose, I'm putting up the chart that I made.]

Summer had just finished digging for the day and was tired. She had been here for two days and had already concluded that the second hole is the hardest. Half-way to the tents, she collapsed and fell down.

"Can't make it...too far...must rest." A hand appeared in front of her eyes. She took it and came face to face with Haylie.

"Come on, Yelnats. You're not a weakling." She put Summer's arm around her neck and helped her walk to the tents.

"Thanks, Haylie."

"Whatever." Haylie dumped Summer onto her cot and left to take a shower.

Summer groaned. "I wish I were a boy. Maybe I could resist more of the elements."

"Why would you want to do that?" Summer sprang up. Seven boys were in the tent and they all resembled people she knew. She rubbed her eyes. Wait, they were people she knew.

"What are you guys doing here?" She jumped up and hugged Stanley V.

"We're here to rescue you! Come on! Where's the other girls?"

"Wait, wait! How did you know where to find us?"

Stanley V opened his mouth but was interrupted. It was Lynn.

"Well, well, well. What have we here? More workers? Well, no matter. Girl, go take a shower. You boys, come with me."

Before the boys left, Summer snatched Stanley V's cellphone from his pocket. There was no connection in that area, but she could send a small message, and she knew just what to put.

She sent it, and went to go take her shower, carefully stowing the cellphone away in her cubbyhole.

She met the rest of them at dinner. The boys squeezed onto their table, considering they didn't want to sit alone. Alison patted the seat next to her.

"Ooooh, Peter! I saved you a seat!" She fluttered her eyelashes before Peter sat down next to Summer.

He leaned over and whispered into John's ear. "You're her brother, is there any way to make her stop?"

John smiled wide but didn't look up. "Yeah, find her a boyfriend."

Peter groaned and started eating. "So what is this place?"

Summer swallowed. "Camp Green Lake."

"Like in the book that Dad wrote?" Everyone looked at Stanley V as he brought out a small book with a black cover. On the cover it said "Holes, a novel by Stanley Yelnats IV."

"I didn't know that Dad wrote a book." Stanley V passed the book down to his sister and she flipped through it.

"What's it about?" Emily said as she chewed a piece of bread.

"I don't know. I haven't read it. I just got it yesterday," Stanley V said as he swallowed all of his green beans.

Jennifer put her cup down. "Who gave it to you?" Haylie shoved Jennifer for talking and she fell against everyone else on the bench and the whole table went down. To make matters worse, Lynn walked by.

"You kids clean that up. This ain't a girl scout's camp. Now, get to it." She continued walking by and slammed the door to the office.

After they got it picked up, no one felt like eating anything so they all went back to the tents.

There were 9 cots and if there were two on each cot, then there would only be one boy left and he got his own. The boys voted and Stanley V got it. Summer was paired with Emily, who would do anything to get away from Vanessa.

After everyone was asleep, Summer and Emily talked. "Em, if you don't mind me asking, why don't you like Vanessa?"

Emily sighed. "It's not that I don't love her, because I do, but there's something more. I'm adopted. Don't get me wrong, it's better this way, but my parents adopted me because they were told that they couldn't have children. Then one day, my mom found out that she was pregnant, and everything changed." Summer felt sorry for Emily, but she had already suspected that this was so. Emily went on. "Vanessa gets more room, more money and more love."

Summer put her arms around Emily. "Aww, Em, don't feel bad. I know how you feel."

"You do?"

"Em, I'm a twin. And I'm in a family where girls are not normal." Emily laughed. "Your parents love you, Em. Don't ever forget that." She hugged Emily and went to sleep.

[Aww! That's so cute! I liked this chapter.]
