I was sleeping when I heard a alarm go off in the distance. Groaning I pulled myself out of bed and but on my orange outfit that I was given yesterday, because that is what everyone else seemed to be doing. "Hey what i-is g-going o-on?" I asked Squid while yawing. It took him a while to answer because he seemed to be more tired then I was.


"It is time for us to get up and go start digging some holes. That is the punishment that we are given." he said with a annoyed look on his face. I grabbed a shovel and followed the other. They had set out breakfast, but I was refusing to touch it because it didn't look healthy then again none of the food here did.

i followed my way to a big desert which is where I could see holes had been dug. I was told that the whole had to be as deep as my shovel is tall. Is that not great? I am not very tall and yet I still have to feel like I am going to be buried in a giant whole. I think I can manage, as long as someone will help pull me out of the hole when I am having to dig.

"So are you ready?" Squid came up beside me and asked. I stared at him like he was crazy and he just gave me a smile in return and winked.

"Yeah sure I am ready, because everyone wants to dig a whole that is at least fie feet deep at the crack of dawn don't they?" I asked him with sarcasm.

"Well when you are done we get to leave and go back to camp, if you want I could show you around and make sure no-one messes with you?" He suggested while shrugging his shoulders.

"Sure that would be cool, but you have to help me out of the whole I have to dig if i don't manage to do it myself." I told him with a small laugh which he returned.

"You will need help anyway,you are shorter than Zero is!" He said.

"Alright! Stop talking and get to work you little juveniles!" Mr. Sir yelled spitting out some sunflower seeds. Once we all had started digging he got in his truck and drove away leaving us to dig. I was having a hard time lifting the shovel, because I will be honest I am lazy and lifting something never ends well when it is bigger then a cupcake. Around lunch time someone came to fill up our water bottles and to give us some food.

I was finished the same time that Squid finished. So like he promised he helped me out of the hole and we went to hangout on the camp grounds.

"So... do you like the camp?" Squid asked me with a nervous smile. I let out a snort.

"Yeah, because a camp that is mostly dessert is so fascinating isn't it?" I responded. He let out a little laugh and we headed back to our tent where all the others were at.

Squids P.O.V (Did you see it coming?)

I could tell that she liked me. I could see it in her eyes the first day she came here. I don't blame her, I know I am sexy. Anyway I don't know if I should ask her out on a date or not, i guess we cant really have a big fancy date for obvious reason. I guess I can get to know her a little more and then see what happens.......
