First Hole
"Don't do that man, that's disgusting."
"Seriously Armpit, who would you want to wake up with someone doing that to you?"
"Aww, that's God damn cruel and unusual dude…" A terrible smell overcame Suze, she felt like she wanted to throw up. She opened her eyes to see an arm extended over her cot; she realized that Armpit's armpit was being held over her face,
"SHIT! That can't be normal B.O.!" Suze shouted in disgust, some of the guys chuckled lazily as they left the tent.
"Sorry, but you weren't wak'n up… time to dig." Armpit explained and he left too. Suze slipped on her orange suit and ran out to see all the boys grabbing shovels. She followed suit and tagged behind as they proceeded to the deserted area, where everyone claimed their spot to dig. Five feet around, good, I remember. She was too tired to realize that she would be digging all day.
She was not the last one to finish her hole however; she caught on quite quickly to strategies of digging ridiculously large holes. She had seen Zero pass by a few hours before, and knew she had to pick up the pace if a shrimpy kid could finish before her. Mr. Sir came by in his truck to fill up everyone's canteens; she got a massive amount of stares as she reached the front of the line,
"Y'all look like ya never seen a girl before!" He shouted, Suze's face blushed a little from embarrassment. She was walking back when she saw Zigzag looking at her, she stared back. He took a look at her hole, then his, and he began to hurry back to his hole and began to dig at a pretty fast pace. Ah, comparing holes eh? I can play that game. She shot a glare at him as she hurried to her hole and began digging quickly too, they kept catching each other comparing holes. As she was done measuring her hole, she lifted herself out and began walking back to camp. Beat ya ass hole.
"Hey!" Someone called from behind her; she turned to see Zigzag walking up to her while holding out her canteen. "You won't wanna forgot this."
"Thanks" she said as she took the canteen from him. She blushed again, a little embarrassed for her competitive behavior, especially after he was so polite to her. They walked side by side, with their shovels over their shoulders.
"Having a good time?" He asked her, she caught onto his challenge.
"Yes, I actually did." She responded calmly. "No girl's get hurt from being in heat." SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!! DAMMIT, did you seriously fucking say that?! AHHH! She quickly glanced at Zigzag, whose eyes suddenly became very wide…You MORON! Good job phrasing things the wrong way ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME.
"Ya, well." Zigzag began, "The first hole is nothing, the second hole is worse."
"Yeah? How so?"
"You're too sore from your first hole to bear the second one." Ass hole, ass hole, ass hole! He tossed his shovel into the large pile and Suze followed suit.
"I can take it."
"Whatever you say." He said in a slight mocking tone, and left her alone. Dammit, if I weren't in a detention camp I'd totally kick his ass.
Suze found a drinking fountain to refill her canteen, and began walking back to D-Tent. She heard a few cat calls and whistles from behind her; she was too exhausted to react now. She just wanted to write to Tonya.
Dear Tonya,
Hey. I'm sorry I had to leave you all alone, and I'll understand if you're upset at me for what's happened. If it's any consolation, this isn't exactly the Plaza. It's fucking hot here, plus I have to wear a huge baggy jumpsuit and dig a hole once a day: five feet deep, and five feet wide. Yes, it sucks. Not only that, it's an all boys camp here and apparently I'm the first girl they've seen in months, I think I'm going to die, some are such ass holes. Anyway, I didn't write this so you would pity me, this is more of an apology if you are really pissed off at me (and you know I'm terrible at apologies). I didn't think before I took action, and I regret it. So if you want to write me back, just check the return address.
Sincerely,
Suze

"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?"
"I do."
She looked around at Mr. Asker, his power had overpowered this court room, Suze knew. She looked over at her parents, her mothers face was pale, shocked, and nervous and beyond tears. Her father sat next to her, reassuring her by gently rubbing her shoulders, he also, was beyond words and his temper. She caught sight of Tonya in one of the pews, she seemed close to tears, but she mouthed the words 'you'll be okay' to Suze. But nobody seemed to have much faith that Suze would make it home again.

Suze sealed her letter and put it into the mailbox, she ran back to her cot and curled underneath her sheets, her emotions and tears were becoming too overwhelming.
