Thanks, The 'Sane' Blueberry, for your review. Here's the third chapter and I hope it is good!! Disclaimer I do not own Holes or anything about it.
This is totally unnatural. Nobody gets up this early. I can't think of anyone. Oh, wait! Insane people do. That's right!!
Diana waited for the boys to leave before she got dress. After she got ready she walked to where the boys were eating lunch. When she walked in to the mess hall, every boy in the camp stared at her. She grabbed a tray.
The boys waved her over to where they were sitting.
'Come sit by me.' Said Caveman. She was glad she didn't have to choose who to sit by. That would have been awkward.
'I can't believe this is happening.' Diana pushed away hr tray and dropped her head into her hands. She reminded herself that she had to stand strong or else she'll never hear the end of it. She took a deep sigh and straightened up.
'What did you do to get sent here anyway?' Asked X-Ray, who seemed to be enjoying his breakfast, as hard as Diana saw that was possible.
She decided to let them in on her life. 'Me and a couple decided to rob this warehouse that was filled when thing that were already stolen. We got caught before we even left.'
She tried to take a bite of the wet, stick food. She just couldn't stomach it.
'That was stupid. What, didn't you know it was stolen already?' ZigZag was starting to get on Diana nerves. Every time he opened his mouth, it was comment after another.
'Your point is? We needed the money. I live with this evil relative who is set on depriving me of whatever she can. I needed to put a stop to.' Diana really did dislike her Aunt. She was pure evil who took on human form. 'I can't stand the woman!' She slammed her fist on the table and calmed herself down. When she looked up she saw all of D tent with scared looks on their faces.
'Sorry we asked.' Squid raised his eye brows and shook his head. Diana felt bad.
'I'm sorry.' Diana had to admit it was nothing against them, but she always blamed her Aunt for how she turned out. 'I, I always get that way when I talk about my Aunt. It's nothing you did.' Diana pushed her food around with the spoon and decided she just couldn't eat it.
Caveman patted her back. When she looked at him, he smiled. She looked around and noticed the others boys smiled, too. She knew they understood.
D Tent followed Mr. Sir out to their digging spot. Mr. Sir showed each boy where they were suppose to dig and then turned to Diana.
'You'll dig here. If you find anything interesting, you are to show it to me or Pendanski.' After he said that, he turned and walked away.
'Here goes nothing.' Diana muttered to herself. She stabbed the blade of the shovel into the dirt. It was so dry it hardly made a dent. She tried again and got the same results. Could it get any worse.
Just then, Diana's shovel slipped and dropped. It fell right between her feet. She was caught so off guard, she tripped over shovel. She fell backwards, and landed, face up, on her back. I spoke to soon.
The boys saw it all happening a started laughing. Diana realized how funny she must have looked and started laughing at herself. It was the first time they all got along.
'Have a nice trip?.' Said X-Ray, who was still laughing and shaking his head.
'Well, it was the shortest one I've ever been on.' Diana laughed as she sat up.
Caveman walked over and helped her up. 'You okay?' He asked.
'I think the only thing I hurt was my pride.' Diana replied, finally gaining her composure. She dusted herself off and picked up her shovel. I'm actually glad I fell. I think I'm finally wearing off on them.
Diana finally got her hole going, slowly, but she was just glad to make some kind of progress. By the time lunch arrived, she was a foot deep. She looked at the others and noticed their hole were deeper. She got her canteen filled and her lunch and sat down near her hole. Caveman and Squid sat next to her.
'Don't worry. First hole is always the hardest.' Squid said as he shoved his sandwich in his mouth. Diana took a bite of hers and decided it would do.
'For some reason I don't believe you.' She really didn't it was impossible for the first hole to be the hardest.
Squid looked at her puzzled. 'What? Then what to you think is the hardest part?'
Diana thought about it and said, 'I think the hardest part is knowing you have to do it everyday. Just thinking about it makes me sick.' She held her stomach at the thought. Caveman chuckled and nodded his head.
'That really is the hardest part. You get used to though. It becomes your life. You forget everything else.' Caveman leaned back on his arm and took a bite of his graham cracker. Diana looked at him. He is really sweet. Did I just say that? What am I saying? I gotta get a grip.
By the time the last boy was done with his hole, Diana wasn't even close to finishing. Caveman was the last to finish and he went to leave. He turned around and decided to stay.
'I felt bad. I know what its like.' He sat beside her hole. She kept digging and, finally, she was done. She tried to climb out and failed desperately. Caveman grabbed her hand and pulled her up. She dusted herself off, picked up her shovel and water jug, and started walking.
Finally, Caveman spoke up. 'How come you got sent here? I mean it seems like it would be the last place the send, you know, a girl.'
'I asked if they would.' When she was answered with a confused stare, she decided to explain more. 'I thought this wouldn't be has bad as jail. I was obviously wrong.'
Caveman laughed and nudged her with his elbow.
She was finally beginning to like Camp Green Lake.
I hope you liked this chapter. I was running out of ideas, so hopefully it came out all right :)
