Personal Heaven
Holes
The boys had been wondering why Magnet had been acting strangely since he got his sisters letter. He had been unusually quiet and was digging faster than usual.
That was until they had session with 'mom'.
"So Jose, have you told the other boys the good news?" Pendanski asked with a grin.
"No." Magnet said looking at his hands, he seemed tired.
"What news, Mom" X-ray glared at Magnet.
"There is someone coming this week, in D-tent. You should all be excited to meet them." Mom practically cheered.
The group groaned, excluding Magnet and Zero.
This would suck.
The next day while the boys were digging, a whirlwind of dust passed by, chasing a yellow school bus.
"Guess the new guy's here then." Squid announced, being the only person to notice.
Magnet started digging faster and finished digging about an hour after Zero left.
"What's with you, man?" X asked.
"Nothin" Magnet smirked leaving the others shocked.
"What the hell was that?!" Zigzag asked.
"No idea."
Helena's POV
I walked off the uncomfortable bus with a smile. This place wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. I grabbed my bag and got off the bus.
The guard escorted me to the Warden's cabin. He knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" came a female's voice.
"I have the new one." The guard answered.
She opened the door.
"Well come in dear, thank you." The officer left and I was pulled inside.
"Take a seat dear, don't be shy." The warden offered.
"Thank you." I accepted, sitting on one of her couches.
It was then I got a good look at her. She wore a button down shirt ticked into blue jeans. She had fiery red hair and green eyes. Her nails were covered in a polish I'd never seen before. It was beautiful.
"Wow, your nail polish is beautiful." I accidentally announced.
"Oh thank you, you want to know my secret?" she smiled looking at her nails. "Rattle snake venom."
I raised my eyebrow, "Venom can make a shade like that?"
"Yes it can, but now we need to get down to business. We both know why you're here, but none of the boys do. Another thing we both know is you know how to do things these boys have been doing for months, and that is helpful to you, no doubt.
"But listen princess, this isn't the girl scouts, you'll be treated like these boys are, and you wont complain, Understand?"
I smiled, "Of course, I'm here for a reason right?" I asked.
"Yes you are, now as you've been told over the phone, there will be no helping any of the boys. And also if you find something show it to Dr Pendanski, or Mr. Sir.
"We both know you will not allow yourself to give up until your finished, so instead of getting the day off, you will as you already do, only this time you'll choose, not us."
My smile turned into a grin.
"Your dismissed, you can ask any of the councilors where D-tent is, other than that you can wander around today." She closed the door as I walked out.
I readjusted my bag on my shoulder and walked around the camp. I counted off six tents. A, B, C, D, E and F. I only knew what D-tent meant and I didn't care about the others.
I saw a blob of orange and kept walking to the tent. When I entered there was a puffy haired kid. He was laying on his cot, staring at the ceiling.
I didn't want to disturb his thoughts so I dropped my bag off at the back of the tent, and walked back out.
The blob of orange had turned into a human in a jumpsuit, who I recognized immediately.
"Joe!" I called. He turned and his jaw fell.
"Lenny?"
