The Sanctuary Of Eight ~ Holes

Chapter 2

A/N~ What do you guys think so far? I know it is kinda bad and such but I Love the movie Holes and I wanted to write about it. Leave comments about what you wish to see added and what I could change about her character. I hope to update my other stories soon, I have a few that are in the editing phase before they go up, I have one on the Maze Runner, and another on Divergent, both have a few chapters ready but I need to know if you guys would be interested in them. 

I sat on my cot for a few hours, the only company that I had was Zero, who at the moment was still lying on his cot facing the wall of the tent. I decided to get up and look around the place that I would be calling home for the next three years. I stood up, alerting Zero, who sat up and looked at me as I walked by him to the entrance of the tent. I gave him a small half-smile, to which he smiled back, and I walked out into the hot Texas sun. Since I had lived in Texas for a few years, I was used to the heat and the humidity, I walked down the dirt path looking around. There were lines of tents and cabins on both sides of the street, all the benches and the stairs were occupied by boys who, now noticing me were staring at me as I walked along. 

I walked up to what I assume was a rec room of sorts. I pushed past a few of the boys who were staring at me as I walked past. I walked through the open door to see a square room with a bunch of overactive boys and a few forms of entertainment. 

There was an old box Tv that was only showing a snowy picture, a few couches and chairs that were missing one leg each so they all leaned in one way or another, and a pool table that had holes where the felt had been ripped up. I stood in the door frame observing the place, I saw the boy who had been in the room when I first arrived with Mr.Sir sitting on the couch with his foot propped up on the small table in front of him, and I saw my tent buddies playing a game of pool. 

The boy on the couch noticed me, smirking at me he said, "Well looky here boys, we got us a new form of entertainment!" while smirking at the boys around him. They all laughed at him to which I rolled my eyes at. 
The boy looked back at me "come on babydoll why don't you make yourself comfortable right here!" he said patting his lap. 

I rolled my eyes before leaning against the door frame crossing my arms glaring at him. He noticed my mood change which made him sit up straight taking his feet off the table. He sat there looking at me for a few seconds before saying, " Come on doll, no one likes a prude" as he looked at me expectantly. 

I raised one eyebrow before saying " No one likes greasy assholes either, but it seems that they like you." I said in a monotone voice staring him right in the eye. This seemed to make him angry because his face got red and he now began to glare at me. He stood up and walked toward me threateningly. I didn't flinch, even when he got two steps away from me. Him doing this gathered everyone's attention, and my tent mates were staring a the scene. He stood in front of me glaring. 

"Listen here, we don't like it when newbies act like their tough shit, even more, when they are little girls who think that they can get away with anything, you might want to remember that," he said while stepping closer to me to the point that his nose was a few centimeters to touching mine. 

I looked at him in the eye and I smirked slightly which seemed to be the opposite of what he was expecting. I said nothing to him and kept staring at him and he soon began to shift, glancing around at the boys who were now watching very intently on what was happening. My tent mates looked shocked at what I was doing, they were all standing next to each other with curious looks on their faces. The boy was still standing but he looked like a lost boy, not knowing what to do since I was not showing any fear to his "scary" presence. 

We were standing there for a few minutes with him trying to intimidate me with failed attempts. Finally, he took a few steps away, glaring at me muttering under his breath. He sat down on the couch again while I stayed leaning against the door frame. All the boys seemed surprised at what happened but said nothing on the matter before going back to what they were doing. 

I walked over to where the pool table was, but to do so I had to walk by the couch that now held an angry boy. I walked in front of him but fell due to him tripping me and grabbing me, pulling me down onto his lap. The boys around him began to laugh and chant what I guess was his name. "Lump, Lump, Lump" they all exclaimed. 

I was sitting on his lap with my back pressed against his chest, his arms were wrapped around me trapping my arms to my sides. He pressed his face next to my ear 

"Told ya, no one likes a prude, they always want me in the end," he whispered, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear. I glared at the Tv which was in front of me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my tent mates ready to come rescue me, but X-ray held them back with a curious look on his face. I shook my head slightly with a smirk on my face before slamming my head backwards into "Lumps" face. He yelped in pain letting me go and grabbing his face. I calmly stood up looking at the faces of the boys who, seconds ago were cheering for Lump, but now looked shocked at what had just happened. I turned and Lump was lying on the couch holding his bleeding nose, I turned to walk back to the pool table when two guys blocked my path. They looked angry, their eyes shifting between myself and the baby crying on the couch.

"You're gonna pay for that!" one of them said before taking a swing at me, I sidestepped him grabbing his arm and twisting it behind his back forcing him in front of me, the other guy had been coming up to punch me but hit his buddy that I was holding knocking his out. I let go of his arm and he fell unconscious to the floor. the other guy looked shocked that he had hit his friend before looking at me in anger. He ran up trying to get one hit in but missing when I dodged or blocked his hits. I punched him once in the nose and he fell to the floor not getting up. 

I looked back at the others seeing their faces looking between me and the three boys who were now either writhing in pain or were unconscious. My tent mates looked impressed and smiled at me before going back to their game of pool, the other boys in the room also went back to what they were doing after a few of them gave me praise for beating up the others. 

I walked over the legs of the boys I had punched and walked over to the pool table. X-ray saw me coming and stood up from leaning over the table. "That was some show their girl, I'd hate to be on your bad side, that gives me a reason to think that the reason you are here isn't that the justice system has a sick sense of humor," he said while looking at me. I smirked at him before grabbing the stick out of his hands, going over and lining up my shot with the cue ball I hit it and the pool ball went in knocking in 2 others on its way. I stood up straight again and handed him the stick while he smiled because I had just won the game for him. The others groaned about losing while he came up to me " You're alright!" he said while holding his hand out, I shook it. I stayed there playing pool with the guys until I hear "What in the hell is this!" 

I looked at the door and saw Mr.Sir looking at the boys on the floor. Everyone got very quiet. X-ray looked at me with a smirk before yelling, "They were fighting each other Mr.Sir they knocked each other out, we tried to stop them but they kept on, Lump here got in the middle of it but got a fist in the face, ain't that right Lump?" he said looking at the boy sitting on the couch nursing his still bleeding nose. He looked up but didn't want to say that he was punched by a girl who said, "yes Mr.Sir, they were fighting and I tried to break them up, but it didn't turn out so well for me." Mr.Sir seemed to buy it and ordered two other boys to take all 3 of them to Dr.Pendanski. I shook my head in amusement before we all went back to our game of pool.
