Alright so here is my second story. From the novel "Holes" (Yes, I didn't make this story, I just want to share it to you guys). Please enjoy, read and review. :)

Chapter 1

One hundred and ten years ago, Lake May was the largest lake in Hoenn. It was full of clear cool water, and it sparkled like a giant emerald in the sun. It was especially beautiful in the spring, when the peach trees, which lined the shore,

bloomed with pink and rose-colored blossoms.
There was always a town picnic on the Fourth of July.
They'd play games, dance, sing, and swim in the lake to keep cool. Prizes were awarded for the best cheri berry pie and cheri berry jam.

A special prize was given every year to Miss May Maple for her fabulous spiced cheri berry. No one else even tried to make spiced cheri berries, because they knew none could be as delicious as hers.

Every summer May would pick bushels of Chari berry and preserve them in jars with cinnamon, cloves,
nutmeg, and other spices which she kept secret. The jarred Cheri berry would last all winter. They probably would have lasted a lot longer than that, but they were always eaten by the end of winter.

It was said that Lake May was "heaven on earth" and that May's spiced cheri berry were "food for the angels."

May Maple was the town's only schoolteacher. She taught in an old one-room schoolhouse. It was old even roof leaked. The windows wouldn't open. The door hung crooked on its bent hinges.

She was a wonderful teacher, full of knowledge and full of life. The children loved her.

She taught classes in the evening for adults, and many of the adults loved her as well. She was very pretty. Her classes .were often full of young men, who were a lot more interested in the teacher than they were in getting an education. But all they ever got was an education.

One such young man was Trout LaRousse. His real name was Drew LaRousse, but everyone called him Trout because his two feet smelled like a couple of dead fish .
This wasn't entirely Drew's fault. He had an incurable foot fungus.

"I take a bath every Sunday morning," Drew would brag,"whether I need to or not."

Most everyone in the town of Lake May expected Miss May to marry Drew LaRousse. He was the son of the richest man in the county. His family owned most of the cheri berry trees and all the land on the east side of the lake.

Drew often showed up at night school but never paid attention.

He talked in class and was disrespectful of the students around him. He so was arrogant and stupid.
A lot of men in town were not educated. That didn't bother May. She knew they'd spent most of their lives working on farms and ranches and hadn't had much schooling.
That was why she was there-to teach them.

But Drew didn't want to learn. He seemed to be proud of his stupidity.

"How'd you like to take a ride on my new boat this Saturday?"he asked her one evening after class.

"No, thank you," said Miss May.

"We've got a brand new boat," he said. "You don't even have to row it."

"Yes, I know," said Miss May.

Everyone in town had seen-and heard-the LaRousse's new boat. It made a horrible loud noise and spewed ugly black smoke over the beautiful lake.

Drew had always gotten everything he ever wanted. He found it hard to believe that May had turned him down. He pOinted his finger at her and said, "No one ever says 'No' to Drew LaRousse!"

"I believe I just did," said May Maple.
