Holes Fanfiction: A Change of Heart

First Impressions

Under the suns scrutiny, Zigzag placed his shovel down as he sat on the edge of the hole he'd just dug. He needed about 30 more minutes to finish, hoping to escape the heat before mid afternoon- when the sun burned the worst throughout the day.

The teen boy picked up his canteen of water that sat next to him and began to drink it, attempting to cool himself as best he could. Only taking a few gulps every 20 minutes or so, since the gallon was only filled at the beginning of their dig. He turned to look at the youngest boy of the camp, Zero, jumping out of his hole as he walked back towards camp. He scratched the back of his neck and wondered how he managed to finish digging his hole first.

"Looks like camps getting someone new." X-ray declared loudly to the D-tent group as he used his right hand to cover the top of his glasses from the sun's glare.

His left index finger pointing towards the bus that drove closer to camp.

"You think he's coming to our tent?" Squid mumbled as he chewed on his toothpick, squinting his eyes to get a better view. His orange jumpsuit zipped down all the way to his hips, sleeves tied around him just like any other day. Leaving only his undershirt exposed.

"Who knows. Our tents the only one with an extra, I wouldn't be surprised if he is." Magnet responded as he joined the conversation, his Mexican accent hardly visible in his speech. His bandanna wrapped confidently around his head in an attempt to protect him from the sun.

"It's only been three day's since Barfbag left..." frowned Zigzag, he hopped back down and continued to dig his hole. Causing dirt to dust all over his clothes and hair in the process. He ruffled his hair in an attempt to brush the dirt off, but his blond hair only dusted in different directions causing it to be messier than before.

"Yeah, man. They could have atleast waited a week or two." Armpit grumbled as he rubbed his burning eyes, trying to wipe away the dirt that fell in them.

"We'll just have to make sure to give them our D-Tent greeting if he's our new roommate." X-Ray smirked as he continued to dig.

Oh this was going to be fun, they all thought simultaneously. But little did they know that the new resident for Camp Green Lake was a young teenage girl with a bad temper.

Aveline was somewhat pleased with how she fixed the bed, new sheets adorned the mattress and it look much improved from before. She had even gotten the missing pillow back from another bed that mysteriously had two. 

Despite sleeping back in the bus, and having a terrible thirst from the heat... Ave layed down and covered her face with the pillow. Her back was killing her from the long bus ride, and she needed to stretch her worn muscles out while she could. She rolled onto her stomach and made sure the pillow continued to cover her head (a weird habit she always had).

Zero stared quietly from his bed, he couldn't grasp what happened before. One minute he's in the tent alone, and the next there's a girl defending him and offering a sort of partnership. That said girl was now laying right across from him. Perhaps sleeping? He thought as he got of his bed and momentarily stepped out to use the restroom and perhaps do her the favor of filling up her empty canteen as thanks.

He wondered how the rambunctious group of D-Tent would react to seeing her in the camp, nonetheless, sleeping in their cot. Zero hoped they didn't do anything drastic or mean to her, because from what he witnessed, she would retaliate.

Oh, but Zero had bad timing. Destiny seemed to have other plans for the young and careless girl in the tent. Aveline had no clue at how much her life would change in the next few minutes.
