1 week later.
Kandy's P.O.V
The days went came and went with nothing to out of the ordinary. I was starting to get into the habit if waking up way early and then digging. Squid would normally wait for me and ask if I wanted help, which I would always reject. It is really sweet how he always offers to help me. I'm beginning to think about what X-ray had said about him having a crush on me. It never really seemed like it to me until this morning.
Digging had become the usual thing to do, but today I felt really bad. I'm one of the slowest diggers in camp but today was nothing like the other days. The sun was burning me and I could no longer think. Today was my parent's funeral and I wasn't going to be able to even go. This wasn't fair I hate my parent for leaving me!
No one's P.O.V
Kandy lay in her hole not moving.
"Kandy? Kandy! You guys where is Kandy?"
"Woah Squid simmer down! I mean come on she's right there in her…"
"Shit! Someone go get mom!"
Magnet set off towards the camp and came back about twenty minutes later in the water truck with Mom.
"What happened here?"
"Mom, I dunno I mean Kandy was fine one minute, but then she was laying face down in her hole the other.
"Well, she can't just stay here…"
By now the boys had gotten her out of her hole and was in Squid's arms.
"Squid take Kelly back to camp and put her in the tent. She probably just got a little hot. Then you are to come back and finish her hole. Is that clear!"
"Yes"
Squid set off carrying Kandy in his arms. He laid her down on her cot and then filled her canteen thinking that she would want some water when she woke up. He then got up and walked back the where they had been digging picked up his shovel and finished the two holes with only a little help from Magnet.
Kandy slept all day and when the rest of D-tent went to bed she was still asleep. Squid had begun to worry about her.
