I don't own Holes..

"I hate this!" Casey shouted tossing her shovel to the side. "Why dig holes?" she whined.

"You take a bad boy-"Caveman said mimicking Mr. Sir's speech.

"Or girl," Magnet added.

"Thank you," all the girls said.

"-and make 'em dig holes all day in the hot sun and it turns 'em into a good boy," Caveman said.

"Or girl," Zigzag smiled.

"Thanks," the girls responded.

"That's our philosophy here at Camp Green Lake," Caveman finished.

"Well that's stupid," Casey said crossing her arms as the water truck pulled up.

"I haven't had a drink all freakin day. No Jim Beam, none of my good buddy Jack Daniel's, no good ole' Captain Morgan coming to visit me in the desert, Not even a Iron City! Would somebody PLEASE just get me an alcoholic beverage!" Sean ranted as she crawled out of her hole and walked towards the back of the line with the rest of the girls.

"I feel your pain Kittie," Ace said patting her on the back.

"I don't," Casey glared.

"Eh kay," Sean glared back.

Pendanski filled their canteens quickly and left to fill another tent's water when Sean turned to no one in particular and asked, "So, is there any alcohol around here?"

"Yeah, in Mr. Sir's fridge. So just forget about it," Squid said quickly.

"Aw, c'mon. What happened to the old Squid I knew?" Sean asked smiling.

"He got sent to a detention camp," he replied coldly. "What happened to the girl I met on the beach?" he snapped.

Sean's face darkened and she frowned slightly.

Joey gave Sean a look and began, "Sean, you don't have to –"

"She ran away from her parents and was ditched by her boyfriend," she stated. "I've lived with Joey four months before I was sent here Squid. My mom had another kid and forgot about me, my cousin living with me got pregnant and my older brother committed suicide," she said stepping up to him.

"Sean, I-I didn't –"

"That's what happened to the sweet girl that you met on the beach, Alan. She has no intention of ever coming back," she growled jumping back into her hole and digging again.

The rest of the girls quieted down and went back to their own holes.

"I'm sorry," Squid whispered looking after her.

Zigzag patted his friend's shoulder and led him back to his hole to keep digging.

That night, after Sean finished her hole, she sat down and waited. She wasn't sure if it was for Squid to leave, or for someone to come and find her, but she sat there. As someone approached her hole she inhaled quickly and held her breath, waiting.

"You done yet?" Zigzag asked peering over a mound of sand and dirt to look at her.

"Mm-hm," she nodded standing up.

"Good," Joey said showing her face over the edge of the hole also. "We'd a thought that you'd run off after what happened today," she smiled extending her hand with Zigzag to help pull Sean out of the hole.

After Sean had been hoisted up and out the three of them began walking back to the camp.

"Ah, okay then, how about you two walk back and get some food. I have, uh, laundry to do, yeah, my laundry," she said lamely and began trotting back towards camp.

"Hey J-o, what'd you do? Lose a bet to Ace?" Sean snickered.

"Haha, hahaha, yeah, lost a bet," Joey replied and continued ahead.

"How are you feelin'?" Zigzag asked Sean.

"Like shit on a stick in a display case," Sean quipped. "How 'bout you?"

"I feel like fightin'," he smiled.

"I want to kick Kelly's ass clear to France and back," Sean said punching her hand.

After a few seconds of silence, Zigzag asked, "Why France?"

"First country that came to mind," Sean laughed twirling her shovel.

"Oh," he laughed. "Girls like Kelly aren't worth the time of day," he asked trying to make her feel better.

She smiled weakly at him, "Nice try,"

He shrugged, "Ya can't blame me, but answer me something."

"What?"

He stopped, "You don't still like him, do you?"

Sean turned around and glared at Zigzag who visibly flinched. Then she tossed her shovel to the side and sat down in the dirt. "I thought I did, but after last night," she trailed off touching her eye.

He silently walked over and squatted in front of her, "I'm sorry," he whispered.

She shook her head and abruptly stood up, "Don't be. Squid wasn't the first guy that burnt me," she paused. "And I highly doubt he'll be the last."

Ace sat on her cot shuffling her cards for another game of 500. Only her and Caveman remained. Armpit was in the wreck room with X-ray. Squid was over with Kelly in B-Tent. Casey was glaring menacingly at a pole with an open notebook and pen in front of her, and Magnet at her side, trying to get her to talk. Zigzag and Joey went to get Sean and Zero was lying down on his cot.

"So, Steph," Caveman asked as she dealt the cards. "How long have you been playin'?"

She grinned at her cards and flipped over the discard. "Call me Ace."

"Alright, Ace, how long have you been playin'?"

She grinned again at the card that Caveman discarded. "Since I was 9," she commented picking it up and laying down the queen, king and ace of clubs, and then the remaining three aces, discarding a seven of spades.

"Damn," Caveman said throwing his cards down. "I can see why they call you Ace," he said as he helped her pick up the cards. "So, how old are you?"

"17, you?"

"Same," he smiled.

"Let me go!" the group inside heard from outside.

The five rushed out to see Zigzag pulling Sean away by her waist from Kelly, who Squid was dragging away with a bloody nose.

"Urgh! Zig! Let me kick her ass!" Sean yelled struggling against him.

"Yeah Zig!" Lump called. "Let's see your little dyke friend lick Kelly's ass!" he said laughing with some of the other B-Ten guys.

"Dyke!" Sean screamed in outrage as Zigzag dropped her and tackled Lump to the ground, who in return tried punching Zigzag.

Sean, seeing the opportune moment, lunged at Kelly. "Aaahhhhhhhyyyeeeeee!" she called landing on her stomach, and achieving three effective blows before Squid lifted her from his girlfriend.

Caveman and Magnet struggled to hold Zigzag back.

Ace was beating in one of Kelly's brunette friend's faces who had laughed at the 'dyke' comment.

"Hey!" X-ray yelled above the group but no one responded. Pinching his nostrils shut he lifted one on Armpit's arms.

"Whoa!" Caveman and Magnet shouted dropping Zigzag to cover their faces.

Sean stopped squirming, "Eww."

Ace stopped punching the girl she held by the hair and dropped her. She sniffed the air and put her hands on her hips, "Alright, fess up. Who ripped ass?!"

"Safety!" Casey and Joey called.

"Good, now that I have you attention," X-ray said putting 'Pit's arm down. "Quit Fecking Fightin'!" he shouted and returned to his game of pool in the wreck room.

"Come, darts, now," Casey said as Joey pulled Sean and Ace into the wreck room.

Joey went off to play Magnet again at another game of pool, while the other girls lined up to play darts. After the first few games, Ace got a bulls eye.

"Score man!" Ace smiled slapping hands with Sean.

"Hell, I know the only way I'd ever get a bulls eye is –"she trailed off smirking. She strolled over to Squid and snatched the picture out of his pocket. Jetting back over to the dart-board, she quickly taped it up and skipped back over to where Ace and Casey stood. "Darts," she said holding out her hand.

At her turn she wailed all three at the board and laughed triumphantly.

"Hey!" squid glared, grabbing his picture of Kelly from the board and stomping away angrily.

"Aw, I didn't get to throw it at her," Ace pouted then noticed where the three darts struck; 2 on the outer green and one in the red center.

"Bulls Eye!" she, Casey and X-ray, who had been watching form his chair, laughed.

A/N: Sorry, if I offended anyone by the dyke comment, I don't have anything against lesbians, I actually have a few gay friends.

If you weren't hurt than don't worry. Hehe
