Chapter 2 No waterThe next morning, before the sun was up, a loud buzzing filled the camp.
"Alright everyone. Time to get up." Said Pendanski coming into the tent.
They all got up out of our beds and started pulling on their orange suits. Misty put hers on but didn't button it up, she didn't care. Then they left the tent and went to get their shovels.
"You see my shovel? It's shorter than everyone else's. And if you take my shovel you'll be in big trouble." Said X-Ray.
"I don't give a damn." She replied.
She filled her bottle with water and joined the rest of the guys.
All the boys, and Misty, went down the place where they would dig.
"Now, Barlow, you will dig here." Said Mr. Sir showing her a place to dig. "If you need any help you can ask any of the other guys."
"Okay." She said.
Two hours or so later She was about two feet deep with her hole. Her hands ached and she was hot and tired. Then the water truck came up and Pendanski stepped out.
"Come on and get your water!" Pendanski yelled annoyed.
Misty was last in line, when everyone else had their water and went back to their holes she handed her empty water canteen to him. He took it and gave her a wicked smile.
"I think you have plenty of water left. Go back and dig." He sneered.
"But I don't have any left and I'm really thirsty." She protested.
"I said go back and dig!" He yelled.
She wanted to beat him over the head with her shovel right there, but she went back to her hole and continued to dig.

The heat was getting to her. She had been out there for atleast four hours without water. She started to get dizzy and lightheaded. Then she fainted.
"Misty." Said Squid.
Zigzag, Squid, Armpit, Magnet, X-Ray, Zero, and Barfbag all ran over to her.
"Misty." Squid said again.
"She fainted." Said X-Ray with a tone of amusement.
"She might be faking it. For all we know she could pop up at us at any moment and kill us. She's evil." Zigzag said.
"Shut up Zig!" Said Armpit.
"Pendanski didn't give her any water." Said Zero.
"What?" Asked Armpit.
"He wouldn't give her any water, even though her canteen was empty. I saw him." Zero replied who was already done digging.
"Why?" Asked Barfbag.
"Dunno. Ever since she got here Pendanski's been giving her dirty looks. I guess he just doesn't like her." Zero said. That was the longest thing he'd said for a very long time.
"Someone go get Mr. Sir." Said Magnet.
"He's back at camp. It would take way too long to get there." Said Zero.
Squid picked her up, lifted her out of her hole, grabbed his water, and poured some on her face.
"Misty." He said shaking her gently.
"Huh?" She said faintly.
"Are you alright, chica?" Asked Magnet.
"Yeah. I'm okay." Said Misty sitting up slowly.
"Here, have some water." Said Squid handing Misty his water.
Zero jumped into Misty's hole and started digging.
"Thanks Zero, I owe you." She said leaning against her pile of dirt and closing her eyes.
"Are you going to be okay?" Asked Squid.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." She said.
"Okay." Squid replied as everyone went back to their holes.
Zero made short work of finishing Misty's hole. He smiled at her and went back to camp.
When everyone started to get finished Squid sat down next to Misty.
"D'ya need help getting back to camp?" He asked.
"No, it's okay. I'm sure you're tired enough already." She said grabbing his hand and standing up. She walked back to camp with Squid.
Misty was very tired. So after her shower she went strait to sleep.
The next day she went out and dug. Praying that Pendanski didn't drive the water truck. To her relief it was Mr. Sir. She got her water and dug her hole. For the next several days it went the same.
