I sat on a log, bored as everyone else partied. At my party. Pathetic right. But who the hell felt like partying, if you were, in a maze. B. the only girl there. C. Have no memories. D. Its your first day there and no one will tell me anything.
So, I sat on a log, while the others laughed, and drank what I'm assuming is definitely not lemonade, and faught. I honestly didn't know what to do. I didn't want to do something stupid and embarrass myself, but I didn't know what to do in general. Multiple times, guys have came over and tried to hit on me. I eventually asked how old I looked and someone told me about 15. And then I told them… some not very nice things… and did my best not to hit any of them and just continued to stare.
I felt a hand on my shoulder, and without even thinking, I elbowed them in the gut. I heard a strangled yell, and whipped my head around.
"Oh my god, im sorry. Reflex…" I say, but when I turn around I see Newt.
"Its okay, but for the record, you might want to start bloody thinking before you do that. Anyway, Alby told me to check on you… And make sure you or anyone else doesn't do any shuck moves." he says, before walking away. And off into the crowd he went again.
"Who's next?" the boy, I think named Gally, yelled for the fiftieth time tonight, and I saw a kid about 13 on the ground. And for some unknown reason I did a stupid impulsive thing.
"Me," I yelled standing up, making my way over to him. He laughed.
"This'll be an easy one." He says cockally. I drown out the rest of the insults, about being weak and a girl, and as soon as I get in the ring, and hear him say, "If the shuck starts crying, I might actually go easy on her." By then we had everyone's attention. Someone says the rules. And as soon as I hear go, I kick my leg to his ankles and, he still cockly insulting me didn't even see it coming. So, he fell on his face. I stepped back. And let him get up. He looked really angry now, and i continued to drown out the crowds laughing and taunting, and had to resist fighting unfairly but i just backed up towards the line. He charged at me and at the last second, I tripped him, while moving to the right and he fell over the line. He lost. And I barely had to touch him. I could hear boos and cheers.
I walked out of the circle. But was pushed back in by someone yelling, "Winner fights the next person." So I stumble back into the ring. I only fought that time because Gally was being an d-.. may as well get used to the glader slang… A shuck.
"Who's next?" I shout.
"Minho!" Someone yells. I find Newt in the crowd grinning. And he sees me and gives me a look saying, good luck. which was probably meant to be nice, like almost everything is with him, but it just pissed me off. A tall, muscular asian looking boy stepped into the circle with a smirk on his face. He had black hair, and brown eyes and what looked like a permanent smirk.
"Hey girly." He says. I put on my emotionless face and stare at him.
"Hi."
"You beat that shank Gally, nice job, shankette," He grinned at me.
"I'm just that awesome." I say flatly and do some stupid hair flip.
He opened his mouth to respond but someone had already yelled, "Go!" which didn't stop him from being a shank during the fight. He was fast, but I was smaller. Some People would probably see that as a disadvantage, but I decided to use that. I ducked past him, and ended up on the other side. He grinned at me.
The fight lasted 10 minutes. Newt, who I think is second in command called it a tie. In the last 10 second though, Minho hit my already injured ankle, and it hurt like hell, but for some reason, I ignored it and kept fighting. I guess I had a lot of pride before…
Anyway, I stepped out of the circle to find Newt or Chuck, or Alby or someone but Couldn't find anyone so I just sat back on the log, while people continued to party.
I finally decided to look for newt, when I saw a persons watch saying it was 2:00am. The earlier i'm up, the sooner the tour… hopefully. I look around for about 10 minutes. I finally see Newt talking to Minho. I try to make it Look like i'm not limping when I walk over, and its not to hard, because its starting to go away, but it still hurt.
"Hey." I say avoiding looking at Minho. "Um…" I start acwordly. Just say it, I yelled at myself. "Where am I supposed to sleep tonight?" I say awkwardly. I see Minho smirk out of the corner of my eye.
He probably had been drinking Gallys drink too, because at first he looked confused, then he stared at me and I shifted my weight uncomfortably, forgetting that screwed up my ankle today. I stumbled but caught myself before they noticed.
"You should probably sleep in the Homestead until these bloody shanks learn to control themselves. Your choice, you can share with either, me, minho, Alby, though I don't think you'd want to, and I don't think anybody else…" He says. Id rather sleep outside. Or… anywhere but share a room with one of them. I wish Chuck was a keeper. Then it wouldn't be awkward because hes like twelve. I glanced at minho who was smirking at me.
"I don't care. your choice." I say.
"Well, bloody pick one then."
I glanced at minho. I wonder if I could do some sort of prank on him, with Chuck if I choose there.
"Minho." I say without thinking.
