Chapter 6

"Ouch, they look sore," Magnet said, looking at her hand, "First holes the hardest, right," Baby just nodded.

The water truck line seemed to have an order. X ray at the front and Zero at the back. Baby went behind Zero. Piglet who had took ages to go over as she had been talking to Caveman was at the back.

"What were you talking to Caveman about?" Baby asked.

"Oh, nothing," Piglet said, but there was a mischievous glint in her eye. Baby noticed Squid and Magnet were arguing about Magnet pushing in, in his wrong place in the line.

She could hear Magnet saying, "Get your hands off of me man!" Baby sighed and rolled her eyes, boys are sooo immature sometimes, it's only a frigging place in the line.

She thought it was a bit mean of Magnet to go in Squids place though, he obviously knew that Squid was the sort of guy who got wound up easily.

"You two girls got some bad blisters on ya?" Mr Sir called from the front of the line as he was filling X ray's canteen.

"Big fat blisters!" Magnet butted in.

Piglet was picking at them.

The sun was so hot Baby felt as though she was going to collapse at any moment. Piglet's breath was coming out in small sharp gasps. Sweat dripped off Baby's brow and her bones ached. Her throat was dry and itchy from thirst. She had almost drank all the water out of her water canteen.

Working together, their hole was pretty deep. Baby couldn't help but feel guilty. She was finding this so hard yet the boys had to dig a five foot hole all by themselves. She didn't want to admit it but she guessed it was because boys were stronger physically.

She watched Squid who was digging at a steady pace. His strong arms rammed the shovel into the dirt before he levered it up and chucked it over his shoulder. He looked up and saw her looking. He lifted his hat up slightly as it had been shading his face. He grinned at her and she smiled back before returning to her hole. She really liked him…. She wondered if he liked her, it was unlikely, he was just being friendly…. Right? Besides Piglet wouldn't like it if he did like her.

The water truck pulled up again. Piglet used the shovel to make two foot holds in the hole wall and pulled herself up. She pulled Baby up after her.

"I feel like I am going to collapse from exhaustion at any moment," Baby muttered, rubbing her sore arms.

"Me too," Piglet mumbled.

The water truck had some lunch with it this time. Baby and Piglet sat on the edge of their hole to eat it.

Squid and Magnet came over to sit beside them.

"You two are almost done," Squid said enviously, measuring their hole with his shovel.

"I would offer to help you with yours but I'm totally useless," Baby said to him, sinking her teeth into an apple.

"It's ok," Squid said.
"It's odd," Baby said, looking at hers and Piglets hole, "I feel kind of proud of it in a way, even though it is nothing to be proud of,"
"I know what you mean," Squid said, nodding.

"I think this absolute crap," Piglet said angrily, tucking a bit of frizzy hair behind her ear, "Digging holes doesn't build character, if you ask me it makes you more bitter,"
"I reckon this whole holes business is just a scam," Magnet said, taking a bite out of his sandwich, "There is something dodgy about it but I just can't put my finger on it,"
"We're digging for something that's for sure and it defiantly ain't character," Baby said, deep in thought of what it might be.

Squid shrugged, "Armpit had a theory that we are digging for the lizards, building their houses but I don't think that's it,"
"It's really odd," Piglet mumbled.

The four teenagers sat in silence for a few moments, pondering in their own thoughts.

"Why are you called Squid?" Piglet suddenly said out of the blue.

Squid went beetroot as Magnet quickly said, "Coz he has a cuddly toy octopus!" Piglet laughed. Baby looked up at Squid and smiled.

"I have a cuddly toy too," she whispered in his ear, thinking about her cuddly- toy horse which was stuffed underneath her cot so Piglet couldn't find it.

Squid smiled grimly.

Baby and Piglet were the fifth finished. They looked at their hole with some sort of mixed pride and relief. Piglet spat in it like she had seen the other boys do so. They both got a shower and then headed towards the wreck room.

Baby flopped down on a torn sofa, she felt as though she would never be able to move again.

She closed her eyes slightly and when she opened them again she noticed a guy with short spiky hair and wide staring eyes walking towards her.

She chose to ignore him and then maybe he'd go away. She felt uncomfortable talking to anyone who wasn't in D tent. She felt safe around D tent and she found the other boys scary.

The boy continued to advance towards her, he sat down beside her. "Your one heck of a babe, ain't ya? I haven't had a chance to come talk to ya since you've always been around that Squid dude," he said in a slimy voice.

"Please don't take this offensively or anything but I'd prefer it if ya left me alone," Baby said, trying to sit as far away as possible from the boy.

"You sure are pretty," he said, leaning closely and stroking her hair.

Baby looked desperately around, she saw Squid watching closely. He had an odd expression on his face. "Get off me," Baby said, shoving his hand away angrily.

He ignored her and tried to kiss her, Baby struggled to shove him off. She felt him be pulled off of her. Baby looked up and saw Squid holding the creepy guy by the collar of his jumpsuit.

"Leave her alone," he growled, looking at the guy menacingly. The guy whimpered slightly as Squid chucked him to the ground. He clambered up and ran off yelling some real offensive things about Squid's mother.

Squid went to run after him but Baby grabbed his arm.

"NO!" she had to practically yell to get him to listen as he was trying to pull her hand off him, "He's not worth it,"
"I'm not gonna let that little piece of crap get away with saying anything about my ma," he growled, loosening Baby's grip.

Baby couldn't hold on for much longer so she flung her arms around his waist and pulled him down on the sofa. He fell down on top of her and all he could hear was a muffled, "Ouch," coming from underneath him.

He leapt up, startled, "Are you alright!" he gasped.

"No," Baby said, rubbing her back, "You just totally crushed me,"
"I'm so sorry," he said, "I didn't mean to!"
"It was my fault, you idiot, I pulled you down," Baby said, slowly getting up although her back ached.

"Yeah it was your fault," Squid said, laughing slightly, he seemed to have completely forgotten about the boy.

Squid P.O.V
This slimy boy from A tent or something was trying to make advances on Baby today. I first saw him stroking her hair or something. It looked as though she was letting him to begin with and I felt really jealous. I guess I'm a possessive person but that's only because I haven't had anything in my life that I could actually call my own, apart from my octopus…

Anyway, Baby began to look really uncomfortable, she tried to shove him off her but he tried to kiss her. She was struggling to get him off so I ran over and dragged him off her and grabbed him by the collar. I told him to leave her alone before throwing him to the floor. I would of beaten the crap out of him there and then but I remembered how unimpressed Baby had been when me and Magnet were fighting in the water truck line.

He ran off but yelled something about my mum being a drunken prossy or something. I never, ever and never have let anyone diss my mum and get away with it. I hate my mum, but deep down I guess I love her too, I've always stuck up for her but I don't know why. I went to run after this guy but Baby stopped me, she kept telling me he's not worth it but I HAD to teach him a lesson or the little son of a bitch would probably just do it again.

She flung her arms around me all of a sudden and pulled me down. I lost my balance and fell on top of her on the sofa. All I could hear was a little, "Ouch," coming from underneath me. I was frightened in case I had seriously hurt her because I know I am quite heavy. She was fine, we even had a bit of a joke about it. Over my worry of hurting Baby I had completely forgotten about that guy.

But if he ever foul mouths me or my family again, he's gonna end up in one of the holes...

They were interrupted by Mr Pendanski walking into the wreck room.

"D tent!" he called, "Time for our meeting,"
"He always does this when we get new campers," X ray said, rolling his eyes before he began headed out of the wreck room.

Baby began to follow them but she felt someone pull on her arm, hard.

It was Piglet.

She glared at Baby and hissed, "I know what your trying to do with Squid, and before anything happens I just want to let you know, I like him so keep your dirty mitts off, or you'll be sorry," With that she strutted off towards Squid. She linked arms with him and began chatting away, Baby couldn't hear what they were saying but she could tell Squid looked surprised. Piglet looked back at Baby and gave her an evil grin.

She is so pathetic, Baby thought bitterly, There are loads of good looking boys in D tent, why did she have to go for Squid?
And besides that's nothing to fall out over, is it?

Everyone sat in a circle in the tent. Squid called Baby over to sit by him. Piglet shot in front of her and plonked her chair next to Squid, as close as she could possibly get. Squid raised his eyebrows slightly and just shrugged. Baby sat next to Magnet instead.

Mr Pendanski had everyone introduce themselves, even though Baby and Piglet knew who everyone was anyway.

"Are there any questions, you girls would like to ask?" Mr Pendanski asked.

"Um.. Yeah," Baby said quietly, she felt as though she was at school and she always hated speaking out in class, "I want to know why some of you are here,"
"I'm here coz I stole a puppy," Magnet said, "They wanted a thousand bucks for just one. I felt sorry for the poor little thing, it was cooped up in a cage, I like animals you see. I would of made it out… if my pocket didn't start barking," A few snickers could be heard from the boys. Magnet laughed too. His laugh was really odd but Baby found it quite cute…
