Chapter Four:
The Colourful Bombers
I woke up, listening to Gwen softly breathing. I didn't know what had woke me until I realized her arms were squeezing me too hard. It was stretching the stitches on my back, and hurt me. I tried to wiggle my way out of her bear hug and she whispered. "No Tobias...don't go..." I froze, not wanting to cause her pain. I settled back into her strong arms, wondering who this Tobias was.
A loud knocking on the door made me jump slightly and Gwen jerked awake. "Co?" She whispered. Her arms slid away from me, and I could feel her discomfort in the air. There was another knock and she jumped up, nearly causing me to fall off the couch. The tan girl smoothed her nightgown down, along with her slightly messy hair.
She opened the door and I peered over the couch arm to see bright red. That is, a redheaded guy wearing a red bomber suit, and Amber eyes staring intensely at Gwen. He leaned against the door frame and an easy smile slid across his face.
"Sup Gwen? Do you have the kid in here?"
Alarms went off in my head as I realized he was talking about me. Who in the heck was this guy? I glared at him, letting him know that I wasn't afraid. It was a wasted effort though because he didn't see me.
Gwen crossed her arms over her chest and smiled crooked in a way I didn't recognize...teasing perhaps?
"Oh...He is here...and he's awake Matt." She said turning around and sauntering inside. She looked so happy and free with her jaunty walk and flowing hair. Not as angry as when I'd awoken in her room yesterday. The red guy's eyebrows rose in surprise.
"Oh?" He said following her, and then his eyes fell on me and his grin widened. Seeing him close the door behind him made me feel trapped instantly. "Hey." He said to me nodding his head. I just stared at him silently, not even trying to greet him politely. His smile never wavered though, but I saw the pity in his eyes. It took me a lot of willpower not to glare at him with all my hatred.
He sat on Gwen' s bed, looking comfortable in her room. Gwen saw my eye twitch and her eyebrows drew together. "Um...Co, this is Matt. He is a friend of mine. "
I still didn't relax. Matt stood and walked over to me hand outstretched.
"Matthew Jensson. Nice to meet you." He said. There was odd look in his eyes. Calculating, smart, yet kind and unafraid of some kid who is staring daggers at him. Yet his feel around him was almost...laid back or lazy.
In other words he was scary as heck and confusing. I reluctantly shook his hand and the skin was rough like Gwen' s. "I was one of the people who found you when you were impaled." He said sounding casual.
How does somebody talk about stuff like that yet sound casual?! Seeing somebody who has been impaled by a pipe isn't exactly a casual topic.
I nodded, showing I now recognized his voice, but not showing how uncomfortable he was making me. Gwen seemed relived by the hand shake and sat down. "What's up Matt?" She asked trying to get off the seemingly casual topic of being impaled.
Matt looked away from me to Gwen, releasing my hand. "Since it is a free day, I thought we could have a MECG meeting." He said once again casual. Gwen nodded.
"Okay, just let me change." She said standing. Matt and I sat there and she stared at us both raising an eyebrow.
"That means get out of here!" She said in exasperation. I blushed and stood getting out of there quickly and Matt followed suit.
Once we were shoved outside, Matt looked over at me. "Girls are so confusing eh?" He said. A smile twitched across my face, and I nodded. He gently nudged my arm with a fist. "I like you kid. Too bad Gwen claimed you as her apprentice first." I cocked my head to the side quizzical.
He shrugged. "You are smart, you'll figure out what I mean later." He said. I didn't know how to react to that so I just stared out a window at the rising sun. The door that I was leaning on opened and I nearly feel over, but Gwen caught me. "Whoa there Co, don't be leaving against doors like that." She said. I blushed and stood as Matt chuckled. She slid her hand into mine and squeezed mine to let me know it was a joke.
Matt pushed away from the wall and increased his arms and began walking down the hall with his hands behind his head. His pace was so nonchalant, and the fingers laced together seemed relaxed. But I knew there was a tense feeling around him, like he was ready to be attacked at any moment. Gwen followed, and I knew she trusted this guy because she usually led me around the place, and by the way other students looked at her that she usually was very bossy.
We went through the winding grey halls, hearing people beginning to wake. There was even an older couple of the age 18 or 19 kissing looking very public. Gwen rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out.
"Eww...kissing!" She whispered and I smiled. Matt stood by her and laughed. The couple broke away and glared at us. The redhead grinned and tipped an invisible hat in greeting. They glared at us all the way until the corner before they began attacking each other's faces again.
My first experience with a snogging couple.
We finally arrived at an older looking dorm room on the first floor. It had a red door and smelled of mint. Matt knocked on it and the door was immediately opened.
Standing there was a very yellow girl. She had a yellow bomber suit with short golden curls framing her adorable face. Her eyes were a deep brown and had golden flecks in them. She looked permanently excited the way her eyebrows were along with her round and wide eyes.
"Matti! Gwen!" She said tackling them with her small body. Then she looked at me. "Oh hi!"
She pushed past them and took my hand in both of her's. "Hey I am Cressent! What is your name?" She said and I noticed she had things in her earlobes. Little pieces of metal dangling down in the shape of wings.
I used my free hand to touch them. I looked at her questioning what they were. She giggled and stood.
"Earings. Pierced them myself." She said tucking a curly price of hair behind her ear. I looked at her face alarmed. They were inside her ears?! Like my pipe? She laughed at my probably horrified face. "Don't worry, it didn't hurt." She said.
She turned to go inside the room. "Come on guys, no need to stand outside looking so awkward. " She said gesturing for us to come. I hesitated but Gwen went in and so I followed.
When I got inside all I saw was paper. Covering every inch of the walls, there were pictures and official looking pages. Even sticky notes and drawings were littered on a worn out orange couch. Sitting among the clutter was a dark skinned boy who was examining a file while eating toast. He looked up briefly then looked back down. "Sup guys."
He had a dark green suit on along with the eyes were almost black looking. Matt picked up a pillow and chucked it at him. "Wow, I feel loved Eric." He said, and the pillow hit Eric's face.
There was a long silence before Eric looked up. Well...the silence was only broken by Cressent humming as she wrote something down on another sticky note. There was a whiteboard in the middle of the room that she stuck it on. Eric stood up and grabbed another pillow. "Oh it is so on Matti." He said a dangerous smile on his face.
Matti smirked. "Bring it." He picked up a pillow. Gwen sighed and went to hide behind the couch. I wisely followed her and Cressent was crouched down on the other side of the white board covering her ears like we were about to be bombed.
That thought brought a stinging sensation to my eyes and I jumped when I heard Matt's face get smashed in by a pillow. Gwen looked at me with worry, realizing how much all of this commotion was stressing me out.
She stood and grabbed a pillow, hitting both Matt and Eric in the face. "Stop it! We have more important things to do!" She ordered. The pillow fight ceased, and Cressent popped up looking like she was super hyper.
Eric sat down and sighed. "Fine...what's our first order of buisness for team MECG Gwen?" He said setting the file on the table.
Gwen looked comfortable now. This was her thing, leading people. "First of all we have a new recruit. Meet Co, my apprentice. He will take over the team once I leave." She said resting a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at her alarmed once again.
Leave? But I just got to meet her and want to know more. She smiled down at me. "Don't worry, it isn't that soon. I just have a few things to take care of outside this prison. " She said. Her eyes looked at her teammates faces.
"Anyone want to explain the rules to Co?" She said, but I knew who would offer before she finished.
"Oooh me! Pick me!" Crescent said and although Gwen seemed to look annoyed I knew she was hiding a smile.
"Go ahead." She said.
"Well...there are lessons for people 10 and up until they reach the age 13 where they have different missions assigned to their chosen group. "
"Tell him what kind of mission Cres." Gwen said patiently. She nodded.
"Right...like rescue missions and bomb missions. Or even going into enemy territory." She said. I nodded.
"Now tell him about our mission Cres." Gwen prompted. The girl nodded.
"Okay! It is to kill them!"
