I don't own Holes
Forrest's POV
Something blared in the camp. "Dinner," Pit said. Chris and I followed D-tent to the mess hall. After we got our 'food' we looked for a place to sit. Zigzag was waving for us to sit with them, so we did.
"You didn't dig today, so you don't mind giving your bread to someone who did, would you?" X asked leaning to grab my bread.
"No I wouldn't. Here Squid have some bread." I said flinging my bread to Squid. Chris followed, but he threw his to Magnet. They both ate it. Ha! Take that Mr.Leader!
"So what'd you two do to get here?" X asked.
"We put a guy in a coma." Chris answered.
"Why?" Magnet asked.
"They were beating up my sister." I replied.
"Why were they were beating up a girl?" Squid asked. Man, they were nosy.
"Because they're rich." I said.
"And drunk, always drunk." Chris added. After half an hour, we all went back to the tent. Chris went to his bag and took out a picture. I walked over and looked at it. It was him and Will. They were both smiling in front of the park fountain.
"You really miss her don't you?" I asked.
"Miss who?" Armpit asked walking over. He took the picture out of Chris's hand and everyone looked at it.
"She's hot." Squid said. Everyone nodded. I don't want to hear this.
"Who is she?" Magnet asked.
"My girlfriend."
"My sister." I replied angrily. That got them to shut up.
"Wait. You go out with his sister isn't that a little weird?"
"No Zigzag, it's not. I trust Chris. I don't trust Dally."
"I hear he's in jail again. She's stuck with Two-bit and Soda." Chris said.
"Chris, it's Will, she's not blonde."
"Yeah, she better not be." He sat down on his cot and took out a pen and paper.
Mr.Pen poked his head through the tent. "Evening meeting." He said, "Set up the chairs." Nine chairs were put into a circle.
"What's evening meeting?" Chris asked.
"We talk about our feelings and learn about each other." Squid replied. That's stupid. We all sat down.
"Let's go around in a circle and say what you did to get here. Rex, let's start with you."
"Drug dealin'," X-ray said.
"I broke into somebody's house." Squid answered.
"I burned down the science lab on purpose." Zigzag replied.
"I stole a puppy." That was Magnet.
"I robbed a gas station." Armpit said. Zero didn't say anything.
"Well we put this one guy in a coma, and broke another guy's leg." Chris said.
"Do you two know who's fault it is you're here?" Mr.Pen asked.
"Socs." We said together.
"Who?"
"Rich kids who think they can jump us greasers." I said.
"No, you. You all have one life and you've done a pretty good job of screwing it up." Mr. Pen said.
"No that's still the Socs."
"Meeting over."
"That was fun." I said. Chris went back to writing his letter.
Chris's POV
Dear Will,
I miss you already! The guys have weirder nicknames than your friends' real names. There's a kid named Armpit, guess how he got that nickname. There is a kid here quieter than Johnny. He doesn't say anything. I think you'd rather be here than at home. We have to dig holes everyday. Better than getting beat up by your dad, right? Just remember that guy got what he deserved, so don't feel bad about it. Just watch Mickey Mouse and eat some chocolate cake with Two-bit.
Love,
Chris
I had the feeling someone was over my shoulder. I looked up and there was Forrest. He had a smile on his face. I just folded up the letter and put it under my bed. Tomorrow is going to be fun.
Forrest's POV
We woke up really early. I hate noises at this camp. Chris just slept through it, of course. I guess I should wake him up.
"Chris, wake up man." That didn't work. "Will's here." He shot up.
"Don't do that!" He yelled.
"We gotta dig." X-ray said. We walked out of the tent, sleepily. We got breakfast, sleepily. We ate sleppi-eww. This is as bad as my dad's cooking. Now I'm wide awake. I got my shovel and followed The Sir to the "lake."
"This ain't a girl scout camp." The Sir said.
"I thought it was." This time, I got smacked, and Will says I don't know what it's like to be abused. "You're not married, right?"
"No, why?"
"Well that's good, you're abusive."
"Dig here." He said angrily and left. Good comeback.
I stuck my shovel in the dry earth and tried to start my hole. That didn't work. I stepped on the shovel. Sweet, it worked.
When the water truck came, I was a foot behind everyone, except for Chris. We got in line. The order was X-ray, Armpit, Squid, Zigzag, Magnet, Zero, Chris and me. I got my water and went back to digging.
"What do you think she's doing right now?" Chris was talking about Will.
"Sleeping." I said annoyed.
"Right."
When the truck came again, I had blisters on my hands. Who am I kidding? My blisters had blisters.
This time, we got food. I sat over by Chris. His hands were the same as mine.
"The first hole is the hardest." Squid said walking over to us.
"No, the second one is. You're already hurtin' before you start." Thanks for the optimism X-ray.
We went back to digging. Everyone looked like they had a foot left. I had two feet. Zero was done.
"He's done!?" Chris asked shocked.
"He's a mole. I think he eats the dirt." Zigzag yelled.
"Moles don't eat dirt, worms eat dirt." X corrected.
3 million hours later, I was done. I would've been done 2 million hours ago, but I couldn't hold the shovel. I was also distracted by the glacier going by.
I waited for Chris. When he was done, we trudged back to camp. We went to the tent and each got a shower token.
"Crap! Ain't you cold?" Chris asked when we were in the showers.
"Rule #1 at my house, dad gets the hot water, me and Will got the cold water. Its been that way for 10 years." That didn't last long. We dried off, got changed, and went to the wreck room.
We saw D-tent playing pool. We played the next game against X and Squid. Hey were both good. The dinner bell rang right as Chris sunk the 8 ball.
