Author's Note- Thanks MFB for rating. And so others will know the answers to the questions you asked I'd post them here.
Q. This is really interesting, but is Brian Twitch, cause Twitch's first name is Brian, but that wouldn't make sense because Twitch's nickname isn't Wires, it's Twitch, so...
A. Wires popped into my head chapters before Twitch even arrived at camp so by the time I read that I already had his name worked out and everything (Brian just happens to be one of my favorite names). I really do not like Twitch so he will not even be in this story.
Q. Is Wires an OC? He's pretty cool, and I like the character development you have with him.
A. (Ok, so I posted this more because I like the compliment.) Yep, he is indeed an OC, but a more believable one than in most stories I've read. He isn't the meanest guy at camp or the toughest (since the survival guide says there is always someone meaner and tougher than you are), he's just one of the regular JDs who happens to enjoy being on his own than being with D-Tent non-stop, every day.
Disclaimer- I do not own Holes of course, Mr. Sachar does. I take no credit for all of his beautiful work and fascinating characters. I do however take credit for the characters in here, which you will notice, are not from the book at all.
Now you're at the edge of your chair right? Thinking "OMG!1!1 What did he do to Jay?" Well really, just lean back and let me explain.
Jay learned very quickly that tall guys could move just as fast as short guys. Before he even realized what was happening he felt the
cartilage in his nose snap clean as a clenched fist struck him square in the face. He let out a scream, which seemed to be a tad too high
pitch to be a guy's yet not to be classified as a 'girly scream'. Unfortunately for Jay the other boys had decided to come in the tent at that
very moment to hear his scream and each one of them was wearing a very amused smile. But it was obvious the boy now holding a very
bloodied nose was not looking at them, but at Pendanski who had followed the boys.
"What's going on in here? I heard a scream" His voice held a worried tone, that matched the fake expression on his face.
"He…he!" Jay was nearly hoping up and down while pointing to Wires but when he looked over at the boy, he was stretched calmly out
on his cot, reading.
"Did he do that to you nose Jay?"
Big mistake two which could of easily been avoided if when the boys glared at Jay he would of stopped attempting to tell Mom who
broke his nose. Just as he opened his mouth a foot kicked him hard in the back of his leg and he yelped in pain.
"Naw Mom, it was me. Jay was standing behind the tent door and I hit him in the nose when I opened it…I already told him I was sorry"
Armpit, who had kicked Jay, spoke very quickly and those behind him could see beads of sweat on his neck.
Mom looked from Armpit to the other boys, they all nodded. Then his gaze switched to Wires. "Brian, is this true?"
"Yeah Mom, would Pit lie you?" Wires looked up from his book, face just as cool as his voice.
Knowing he would get no further explanation, Pendanski left the tent. You never tell on another boy, no matter what they have done to
you. Just remember these few words 'The tent door hit me'. Either the counselors did not realize the tents had canvas flaps, did not care
enough to say anything, or just did not want to know, they accepted the explanation every time.
Jay stammered, attempting to explain what had happened but he noticed nobody was listening. Afraid to get beaten anymore he left the
tent to where the 'nurse's office' was. No one was speaking but every so often someone would glance over at Wires who was still calmly
reading his book. They would never say a word about what happened, especially anywhere within earshot of their ill-tempered tent mate,
let sleeping dogs lie.
About an hour later the dinner bell rang and the boys made their way from the tent to the cafeteria. They each stood in line with their
trays, waiting for the pig slop wrongly labeled 'food'. Jay was at the back of the line, his nose taped up. Wires was the first to reach their
table at the far end of the room but he merely sat, staring at his food and was still in the same state when the others sat down. Once again,
no one said anything.
A conversation picked up, switching from Zig's escape plan, to stupid jokes, to various others over used topics. Wires still sat there only
now he was poking some of the slop with a fork. "There! It moved!"
No one even turned their head, there was just an uttering of "God, not again" before they returned to talking.
"It moved again!" Wires exclaimed, putting his fork down.
"Whatever man" Squid sighed rolling his eyes.
"I saw it move" Jay said quietly.
Wires rolled his eyes, great, now nose boy was agreeing with him.
