Hope you enjoy chapter ….. 4!!

…

I woke up the next morning to the most annoying sound ever. It was a scratchy trumpet Funfair over a loud speaker. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I was still very tired. It was a bit hard to sleep when you are stuck in a tent full of boys who snore and fart in their sleep.

I finally got up and started to make my bed.

"What time is it anyway?" I asked as I got my clothes out of my bag.

"4.30 .." replied Armpit while he was halfway through the door.

4.30?? You got to me kidding me! I usually don't wake up till 10 something. I better get used to it then, I thought. I waited for the boys to go so I could get changed. After 5 minutes they left to get their breakfast and I got changed back into the ugly orange suite. I then brushed my hair and put it up into a messy ponytail.

I then walked outside, still half-asleep, and met up the rest of D-tent outside the 'Library'. Everyone got in line to get a shovel, so I lined up. When I got my shovel, I started to walk with everyone who was digging there holes. Squid came jogging up to me with a shovel in one hand and this …thing in the other.

" Here" he said as he handed me one of the things. I raised one eyebrow at him as I hesitantly took it.

" what is it?" I asked.

"It's a tortilla dipped in honey" He explained.

''Oh," I said, kind of embarrassed. I took a bite from it and to my surprise it was ok, gross and slimy but at lease it was better than that crap we had last night for dinner.

When we got to somewhere in the middle of the desert, Mr.Sir walked towards me and told me to follow him. He then led me to an empty spot on the ground, surrounded by other previously dug holes.

"This is where you will dig," He said, as he kicked the ground with the heel of his boot to mark the ground where I would dig. He also added, "Everyday, you will dig a hole. It is to be five feet wide, and five feet in diameter. Your shovel is your measur-"

"I know, I know!" I cut in. "You said it before, I'm not stupid"

"Don't get smart with me girly" Mr.Sir said as he started to walk away. "Start diggin"

I felt so stupid trying to dig my hole, but I made a system, and it got a little bit easier as I dug more deeply in the ground. I dug for at least a couple of hours until the water truck came. Finally!

I hopped out of my half-dug hole and walked to the water truck. All the guys were lining up to get their water so I walked to the end of the line. But not before X-Ray came over to me, and pulled me in front of him, in front of the line..

"Huh?" I asked, confused.

"Ladies First" X-ray replied with a smile. Everyone kind of gasped, because, I guess they were shocked, and angry that I was first in line, on my first day.

When I got my water I sat down on the edge of my hole. Squid, Magnet and X-ray came up to me and sat on the edge of my hole.

"Hey chica, hows your hole comin'?" asked Magnet in his Spanish accent. I thought it was pretty cool.

" It's comin' alright" I replied as I took a sip of my water.

"What about your hands?" Squid asked. I looked at him funny. "What? .. I mean do you have any blisters".

"Ohh .." I took off my gloves and to my surprise, I had no blisters whatsoever. I showed them my hands with a smile on my face. Squid smiled back. He had a cute smile, it reminded me of my brother.

"Damm girl, you must be pretty tough, eh?" X-Ray said surprised as he patted me on the back.

Squid, Magnet and X-Ray then walked back to their own holes and started to dig. Even though I didn't have any blisters, my hands still ached badly. It did hurt to grip the shovel but I didn't show the pain. I wasn't much of a wimpy girl anyway.

At about, what I would guess, 3 or 4 o'clock, I noticed that Zero get out of his hole, spat in it, and then left. Then, one by one, everyone but Squid started to get done, and spit in their holes. I noticed earlier, that Squid was digging pretty slowly for an experienced digger.

When X-Ray left, he asked me if I wanted him to stay, until I was done. "Nah, I'll be alright," was my reply. "You go on ahead.

"Ok, if yer sure..."

"I am."

About half an hour later I was done. I looked over my hole and thought to myself ' I did good ..'. I spat in my hole and started to walk back to camp. As I was walking I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw Squid catching up to me.

"Hey" he said.

"Hey" I replied "What took you so long to dig your hole?"

"I finished a while ago but I stayed back for a bit". I just nodded my head.

When we got back to camp, we placed our shovels away and met up with D-tent in the Rec Room. In the rec room there were games. There was a TV, a radio, tables with card on them, and a pool table. I went to the TV and I saw Zigzag sitting down watching the blurry screen. I couldn't see what was happening, so I left to go listen to the radio. I turned it on and country was playing. It was fuzzy, but I could still hear it.

I sat down on a chair and listened to the radio and tried watching the blurry screen. I could tell I The Simpson's were on, because I could hear the theme song. About 5 minutes after I sat down, a guy with short, frizzy orange hair came and sat next to me.

"Hey baby. How ya' doin'?" he asked leaning on the chair.

"Go away and don't call me baby" I said. I didn't look at him, I kept watching the screen.

"I'm Thump. But my real name is Brock. You can call me Brock if you want to, baby." He then tried putting his arm around me.

"Get your disgusting arm off of me, you cow!" I yelled at him as I got up and pushed him off of the chair and sat back down. Everyone stopped and stared at me.

"Don't push me." he said coldly as he stood up.

"Aww .. watcha gonna do?" I said in a mocking tone. Thump was about to punch me but Zigzag grabbed his fist and lowered it.

"Thump leave Shannon alone." he said breaking into the fight.

"Why should I? I saw her first!" he yelled at Zigzag.

"Stop hittin' on her. Maybe she don't like you!" Zigzag said.

"Ha! If I liked him, I would kill myself." I said breaking in.

"Shut up bitch!" Thump said.

"What did you call me?" I asked as I stood out of my chair with a deadly look in my eyes.

"A bitch sorry, or does whore sound better "

"Why don't you call me a whore one more time … go one"

You could tell that Thump had no idea what he was getting into so he said " Whore .. "

In one quick move I quickly punched him as hard as I could under his chin, causing him to fall backwards and get knocked out.

"Damn." I could hear Squid's voice.

"Do you think he's … dead?" asked Magnet.

"I dunno." Squid said. "Alright fights over people, nothing to see here!". Squid took my hand and lead me to the pool table. He wouldn't leave my side. I took care of the guy, I wonder why Squid is standing close to me.

"I'm gonna go head back to the tent, guys" I said as I walked away. I heard them reply cya. As I sat down I saw Squid walk in.

"hey, you alright?" he asked me with a worried look on his face.

"yeah im alright, my hand is a bit sore that's all"

" Where did you learn to punch like that?"

"Oh .. My brother taught me" I replied. I tried to keep my eyes from watering so I changed the subject. ""Umm, so what else is there to do?" I asked.

"Nothin' really. It's kinda boring here. But if you've been to camp for a while, it's the best part of the day." he said. "Did yah wanna go play pool with the others?" he asked

I shook my head. "Nah im alright, you can go"

"okay then .." Squid replied as he left the tent. "Cya Roxy"

Roxy? , I thought. I ran up to Squid. "Hey Squid!" I yelled. "Whose Roxy?"

"It's your nickname." Squid said with a big smile on his face.

"Oh, I guess it's not too bad." I said.

…

Shannon's got a nickname now )

Im now going to start calling her Roxy now instead of Shannon, just to let you know
