Don't own Holes..

"My name is Mr. Sir. You will address me by name," funky hair cut guy said. "Now, let's make sure that you're all here," he looked down at the clipboards and up at the girls' faces. "Kar, Stephanie."

The raven-haired girl looked up, "Yo."

"O'Malley, Sean."

The girl with the red streaks nodded, "Here in body, but my mind seems to be missing," she said and began walking around in a circle as a dog chases it's tail.

"O'Brien, Joey."

"Yep," she said running a hand through her hair.

"And, Wivell, Casey," Mr. Sir said pronouncing it 'Weave-L'

Sean nudged her and laughed, "Yeah, like we already established that the others were here, and it's Why-vile," she pronounced correctly.

"Right," he said. "Follow me," he said leading them outside. "You can try to run away, but I won't stop ya. See we've got the only water for a hundred miles."

"Lovely," Sean whispered to Joey.

Stephanie saw the gun, elbowed Casey and showed her.

"What about your gun?" Joey asked, noticing the pistol at his side.

"Oh this? Don't worry, I'll never waste any bullets on you kids. This heres for yella-spotted-lizards."

"Yellow?" Joey asked Casey.

"Spotted?" Casey asked Stephanie.

"Lizards?" Stephanie asked Sean.

"Pshh, at least it ain't spiders," she said visibly shuttering.

Mr. Sir showed the girls to mess hall, the wreck room and the girls' showers. He led them to a room where they were given two orange jumpsuits and boots.

Casey eyed the new outfits with disgust.

Stephanie smelled them.

Joey was already plotting how to slice and dice.

Sean was daydreaming about killing Mr. Sir with a yellow spotted lizard.

"You are to dig one hole a day. The hole will be five feet deep and five feet around. Your shovel is exactly five feet. Just watch out for rattlesnakes, and yellow spotted lizards."

"Yes, Mr. Sir," the girls chorus.

"Good," he said as a bald headed man came in.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Pendanski, I'll be your counselor." He showed the girls outside and led them towards their tent. "When we first heard that you four were coming we were going to put Sean and Joey in B-tent and Casey and Stephanie in C-tent. But then we found out you were all girls, therefore, you will all be sharing D-tent."

Sean and Steph let out a breath they didn't know they were holding.

They entered the old rugged tent and saw seven guys sitting around.

"Hey mom," one boy with glasses said. "What's up with the chicks?"

Joey tightened the grip on her clothes at being called a 'chick'.

"Calm," Sean whispered.

"Well, Rex, these girls will be your new roommates," he said. "Boys, the girls are, Casey, Stephanie, Sean, and Joey."

One of the boys questioned, "Kittie?"

Joey and Stephanie shot looks at Sean, who was glancing around the boys' faces trying to see which one asked.

"The boys are-"Pendanski was cut off by Rex.

"Mom, please. I'm X-ray. That's Magnet, Caveman, Zero, Armpit, Zigzag, and Squid," X-ray said pointing out each of the guys.

"Alan?" Sean asked looking bewildered at Squid.

"Kittie," he said smiling and standing up from where he was sitting.

Pendanski left the tent and the card game the others were playing was about to resume when Squid ran to Sean, picking her up and spinning her around in a hug. She laughed and yelled at him to put her down. They smiled at each other and began remising.

"Okay! Would somebody please tell me what's going on here?" X-ray shouted.

"Don't look at any of us," Steph said. "We have no clue what's going on."

"Aw, c'mon Squid, you didn't tell any of us about your girlfriend," Zigzag said kicking at his best friend.

"That's because we're not dating," Sean said.

"Steph, you 'member that time in Myrtle Beach, when I had you cover for me? And Jo' you 'member that guy I told you about, from my softball trip?" she smiled.

Both nodded now understanding.

"Whoa, wait!" Casey interjected. "How come I never knew about your spring fling?"

"Because you gossip!" the three girls returned.

"What are you in here for?" Caveman asked.

Steph began, "Armed robbery," she said proudly.

Casey and Joey laughed. "What?" she laughed too.

"Robbery," Casey blushed.

"Robbery and Joy-riding," Joey smiled.

"Joy-riding?" Steph laughed. "You hot-wired it wrong," she smiled.

Sean and Squid were talking animatedly on his bed and she didn't even know what was going on outside of their conversation.

"Yo, Squid's girl," X-ray said.

"I'm not Squid's girl," Sean glared.

"Well, whatcha in for, 'not Squid's girl'?" Zigzag asked.

She cocked her head to the side and smiled. But then frowned backing away. She brought her knees up to her chest and began rocking slightly. "Disturbing the peace, arson and destruction of private property."

"How'd ya do that?" Squid asked her, resting a hand on her knee.

"I blew up a car at three in the morning," she smiled and stretched standing up. "So what's there to do around here?" she smiled.

"Well, there's the wreck room," Magnet suggested.

"Spiff" Sean said and bond towards the door with the girls in tail.

All the guys started at Squid. "What?" he asked spinning the toothpick in his mouth around.

"Dude, if since ya had the girlfriend, you could've at least told us her friends were hot!" Armpit whined.

The guys laughed and soon headed out to the wreck room to show the girls around.
