I saw a lot of you thought the story got dry and I'm gonna try and spice it up. I hope.

Diana laid on her cot, thinking over the events of the day. It kinda saddened her to think she had to leave without saying anything to Squid to maybe patch things up.

That's when he walked in.

Diana rolled over on her cot, facing away from him. All the other boys were at the mess hall eating. Squid thought that he could talk to her.

'Diana, I'm sorry.' He said, sitting on the cot next to her. 'I wanted to help, but…'

'There shouldn't be a 'but', Squid.' Diana turned towards him. He could see her cheek was still bleeding. 'I always thought that the guy I loved would protect me no matter what. I guess I was wrong.' She laid back down.

Squid got up and sat on the end of her cot. 'I know.' She could hear him sniff. 'Maybe we shouldn't be together.'

Diana closed her eyes to fight the tears. 'I think so.' She leaned up and kissed his cheek. 'I…' but before she could get her thought out, the boys walked in, talking. When they saw Squid and Diana, they got quiet and walked to their cots.

'Oh, by the way,' Diana said as she laid down, 'Me and Peter are leaving.'

The boys looked at each other in shock. She heard a chorus of complaints.

'What?'

'How come?'

'That's not right!'

Even Peter joined in, 'When did this happen?'

'When the warden talked to me today.' Diana waited for a reply but heard none. Why now? I can't leave the boys. What'll happen to them?

-----------------------------------------------------------

As Diana ate her lunch at her hole, Zero sat next to her. He smiled at her.

All of the sudden there was a commotion. ZigZag and Caveman were fighting and Pendanski was prodding them on. The fight got worst when ZigZag shoved Caveman.

That was the last punch because the nest thing that happened took Diana by shock. Zero, who was just standing next to her, had leaped on ZigZag's back. He held on so tight, ZigZag fell to the ground, losing breath. Pendanski shot his gun to break up the fight.

------------------------------------------------------------------

When the warden showed up, everyone was tense.

Diana had walked over to Caveman.

'You ok?' She asked, helping him up.

'I don't know what happened. He just started pushing me around.' Cave man dusted himself off.

'What's going on here?' The warden looked meaner then when Diana meant her. Her hair was wild and she had a look of frustration on her face.

'Ziggy and Caveman's blood was just hot, that's all.' Armpit said gathering with the boys around Caveman and Zero.

'Yeah, you know Ziggy was just mad, what with Caveman not digging his hole and all.' Squid said. I can't believe this.

'Caveman digs his holes like everyone else.' The warden said. She turned towards Caveman who looked at the dirt.

'Zero's been helping me dig my hole so I'm not tired and I can teach him how to read.' Caveman said nervously. There's nothing wrong with that. What's wrong with that?

'If your not digging your hole, your not building character.' Mr. Sir said as he closed in on Caveman.

'All Zero wants is to read, that's all.' Caveman was trying his best to defend himself. 'Can't I just teach him and dig my hole?'

'There will be no more teaching.' The warden shoved her finger in Caveman's face. 'Got it?'

Zero picked up his shovel and walked over to Caveman. 'I'm not digging anymore holes.' He said.

Pendanski walked over. 'You can't teach Zero to read. He's to dumb.' Zero swung his shovel and smacked Pendanski right in the face. He dropped his shovel and ran. Mr. Sir ran after him but the Warden stopped him.

Diana wasn't paying anymore attention to them. She watched as Zero's figure disappeared. Zero, what did you do? You can't survive out there. You'll die. Zero…

URGENT: If you noticed, I kinda took this scene from the book. I'm not stealing it, I wanted to add it in so the story would follow the story line a little bit. (hope it's not considered plagiarizing…)
