I do not own Holes. I'm not very good at digging holes either. In short, holes suck. Not the book, just holes in general.
"I hope my mom sends my suzuki book," Adrienne said as she stared up at the ceiling of the tent.
"Adrienne, we have a crisis here! Tap told one of the D-tent boys who we are!" Alice shrieked.
"Hey, Alice, try shutting the fuck up," Trixie said beneath her pillow.
"Oh my gosh, Trixie! Sleeping is a great idea!" Giorgio smiled and laid down on his cot.
"Why don't I have a name yet? I want a name! I'm the only one!" Juliana said glumly. "Well, except for Giorgio."
"I'm Phone Book," Giorgio said casually as he tried to prepare himself for sleep.
"When did you get named?"
"During the time that Alice was yelling at you."
"Alice! You made me miss the naming! What if I was to be named!"
"Our cover is blown! How can you be so petty?" Alice stomped angrily.
"Do you realize, Alice, that Zig-Zag is insane and no one will listen to him?" Greg asked condescendingly. "Plus, we could always shoot him if he causes trouble."
Adrienne clapped her hands enthusiastically, "That would be so great!" The look that Alice gave her stopped her cold. "I mean, it totally wouldn't, Greg."
"You know what actually would be great?" Juliana scooted next to Adrienne. "If we never spoke of suzuki again."
"That would not be great! We need that!"
"Yeah, if we want our joints to ache more from digging!"
"It would help with the digging! A slow ten would totally help!"
"What is suzuki again?" Tap asked, moving her head around Alice.
"It's a physical form of theatre," Adrienne answered. "It really helps with discipline. Remember? We did it before."
"Tap, remember when we had to go down in like one of those standing sits as far as we could go for ten seconds and then we had to stand there holding it forever? Remember when Adrienne made us learn those walks where we had to bring our knees up really high? Remember 'The Hollow Men?'" Juliana asked Tap, reenacting all of the activities in her mind.
Tap screamed, "GOD NO! NEVER MENTION THAT AGAIN!"
Adrienne rolled her eyes, "It wasn't that bad..."
"WE COULD BE TERMINATED!" Alice yelped, bringing the attention back to the issue.
"Yeah, and?" Greg frowned.
"Yeah, Alice, it's not like we haven't forgotten what we are doing here," Giorgio sat up, aborting his plan to sleep.
"Look, we are supposed to break them out in a way that seems like they all just decided to escape. We have to do this in a professional manner, cover this up, but we haven't been doing anything but whining that we haven't gotten names yet!" Alice lectured.
"Hey!" Juliana retorted.
Alice didn't stop. "I don't know how we expect to break them out when we haven't even brought the idea forth! We haven't done anything at all for this project. The intern group three years ago got their mission done in two days. We have been here for more than a week, and we have done nothing!"
"We knocked over the food. Did anyone see that B-tent got blamed for it?" Adrienne threw in.
"Yeah! That was so cool because that one guy..." Juliana started to tell the story of an unfortunate boy who barely finished one hole on time, let alone two. Now, this boy had...
"THIS IS SERIOUS!" Alice burst. "WE COULD LOSE EVERYTHING! IF I DON'T GET A GOOD LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION AFTER ALL OF THE CRAP SPIES INC. HAS PUT ME THROUGH, I WILL START SHOOTING PEOPLE IN THE FACE!"
"Why in the face?" Tap asked.
"Not a good time, Tap," Greg whispered to her.
"IF ALL OF YOU DO NOT SHUT THE FUCK UP, I AM GOING TO FUCKING START TAKING PEOPLE BY THE HAIR AND DROWNING THEM IN THE MOTHER FUCKING SHOWER!" Trixie screamed.
"Wow, I didn't know you had it in you, Jock Strap," a male voice broke in.
Every face turned toward the entrance of the tent where the boys from D-tent stood. X-Ray was of course first with a wide smile on his face.
"Uh oh," Juliana slinked down and partially hid behind Adrienne.
Adrienne smiled and held her melodramatically. They held back laughter as Trixie tried to explain herself with many ums and uhs. Greg watched Alice boil up, seeing her right hand shaking with rage. Tap hid under Greg's cot. Giorgio sent text messages to Glenn.
"Ever heard of knocking?" Alice grinded her teeth, trying to keep herself from lashing out.
"Uh oh," Juliana whispered again.
"You can't really knock on a tent, can you?" Squid asked X-Ray and smiled at Adrienne. "Hey, Brazen."
"Hey, Squid," Adrienne smiled back.
"What do you want?" Alice bared her teeth.
"We want to know what is going on, quite frankly," X-Ray answered, stepping forward and getting in Alice's face.
"Look, we are having a crisis here, so I would appreciate if..." Alice nearly scratched his face she was so angry.
"I would appreciate the truth!"
"You can't handle the truth!" Greg stood up, thrusting his fist in the air. Though Adrienne, Juliana, and Trixie held back laughter, no one else was amused. "I uh... I just had to say that. You know, felt the need. Um... wrapped up in the moment? Yeah... I'm sitting down now."
Greg sat back down on his cot while Adrienne and Juliana shook with silent laughter. Trixie covered her face with her pillow to try to muffle out her own.
"Zig-Zag told us some interesting things about you," X-Ray said, unaltered by Greg's outburst.
Alice glared back at Tap, who hid more under the cot, and said, "What kind of interesting things?"
"Well, he says that you all are..."
"C-TENT! Come here NOW!" Gina's voice rang outside of the tent.
Alice smirked, "Oops, looks like we are being called. Catch you later, dawg."
With that, Alice led the way, and the group of interns walked out into the sun to find Gina waiting for them looking irritated.
"Gina, you saved our lives just now. I mean, X-Ray is..." Alice started but was stopped when Gina slapped her. "Ouch!"
Gina's face was red with rage, or maybe too much blush, but at any rate, her face was red, and she was angry. Each one of the interns stepped back, except for Alice, and stood away from Gina.
"You... all... are... the... WORST... interns... ever... and... I... hate..." Gina hissed, so angry she couldn't put a sentence together.
"Did we do something wrong, Gina?" Adrienne asked with a slight smile.
"I HATE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!" Gina yelped.
"Gina, we are really trying to..." Alice tried to clear up the situation but was unsuccessful.
"No, you have NOT been trying! All any of you have been doing is causing suspicion! The Warden makes me stay in the cafeteria so that I can't get any dirt..."
"Heh, dirt," Juliana smiled.
"Not a good time, Julia," Greg whispered.
"X-Ray suspects something. He's getting the others to suspect something. He needs to be dealt with. Until he is, you all stay AWAY from those boys and make a plan! I will not start making copies for that jerk Jerod Jones! I will NOT be demoted for all of YOU! And you know what? I HATE THIS WIG! I WISH IT WOULD DIE A THOUSAND DEATHS!"
"Gina, may I ask, how are we supposed to change X-Ray's mind? I mean, he is pretty set on..." Alice again tried to make the situation a little less angry.
Gina smiled wickedly, "How? Well, Alice, I think you have to figure that out. It is your job to change his mind. I suggest making out with him or something of the like."
Giorgio raised his hand, "I'll make out with him!"
"Yeah, no," Gina frowned. "Giorgio, work on fixing all of this. You are the only one who is serious."
"Hey, I made out with him!" Adrienne spoke up.
"And I set something on fire!" Juliana piped in.
"And I told Zig-Zag that we were spies!" Tap got lost in the moment and spoke before thinking.
The whole group was silent for a moment as Gina rubbed her forehead, nearly bursting into tears.
"Okay, one, Adrienne, you did do a great job with that. Make out with other people from D-Tent to make them really think you are a slut because you are good at it. Two, Juliana, you had no right starting that on fire. You are not the rebel. Three, Loony bin, YOU ARE A MORON!" With that, Gina turned her tail and started to walk away grumbling to herself.
"Wait, Gina! Gina! I can't do this! GINA!" Alice chased after her.
There was a moment of absolute silence as the group took in what had just happened.
"I'm going to report Gina to the authorities for hitting Alice," Greg said, breaking the silence.
"Is it because you care, or because you hate Gina?" Juliana asked.
"I'm going for the latter."
"This is bullshit. I was woken up for this? Fuck that, I'm going to god damn sleep!" Trixie threw up her arms and marched back to the tent.
"I love my life, I really do," Adrienne said sarcastically.
"I am not a moron!" Tap said suddenly.
The group exchanged looks and walked back the tent without a word.
"I'm not! Wait, guys, I'm not a moron! Guys! GUYS!"
Another chapter done finally. Sorry if there are a lot of typos in this one; my other comp is all broken and stuff. Oh wells. This one took a long time because no one voted on whether the guys should know. So I'm trying my best. Thank you, thank you, thank you to BrokenAngel1753 (glad you like!), emddozen12 (I'm thinking it's because you are clumsy), LeMoNsOuR (thank you! I try not to be corny, but me thinks I'm a little bit too dorky to not be just a little bit corny. I love Trixie too. Tap, well, I like her name. I kid, of course. Tap is great. And really, I like being called funny. Keep it up!), and Strange Stranger (Please do write a fanfic about my fanfic! That review totally made my day and made me write this chapter, so go you!). So, let's hope that I am not such a slacker and write another chapter soon. Keep your fingers crossed.
