I don't own The Host
My lecture is at the bottom, so you better read it. Yeah you, the person who goes, "I'm not going to read this, because it's just a silly author's note." I'm watching you.
Chapter 7
"I thought you said you weren't very good." Jamie wheezed.
"I said no such thing. I may have understated my skills, but I never said I was bad." I said while laughing.
"Dude, just give up there is no winning in an argument with my sister."Zach replied.
"No there isn't." I smile smugly. "Now, didn't you say you would play three rounds with me?" I ask sweetly.
"Ha ha, not likely." Jamie stated
"Aww, don't be a sore loser. I can't help it if I'm amazing at soccer."
Just then Melanie entered the game room. "Hey, Jamie, did I just hear that correctly? Did the short girl just beat you? Gasp!" Melanie said in mock horror.
"Hey I'm not that short!" I yell.
"Sure you aren't." My brother says coming up behind me and putting his elbow on my head. I just crossed my arms defiantly.
Just then we heard quiet, quick, careful steps in the hallway outside the doorway. We all heard them stop suddenly and saw Wanda peek in. "I'm I interrupting your game?" She asks me and Jamie worriedly. "I'm sorry. I'll leave."
Before I can say anything Jamie runs up to her and throws his arms around her. "No you aren't, we just finished. Cordy beat me both times." Jamie whines to her, while giving her puppy dog eyes.
"Did you really just tell on me, to your sister?" I ask.
"...Maybe."
"Real mature, Jamie." I replied rolling my eyes. I broke away from my brother and stole the ball from him.
"Ready to lose, Sis?"
"Dream on." I replied and proceeded to kick the ball perfectly into the "net," which was really two lanterns turned on high to light up that half of the field.
"1-0" someone yelled out to us. After that I lost myself to the game. I played better then I have ever had, and before I knew it I had scored the winning point. I wasn't even winded.
"Damn," my brother gasps. "Where did you learn to play like that."
"Coach always said I could have gone pro." I look over to the small crowd that had formed. Most had their mouths opened wide in disbelief, included in this group was Jamie. His eyes were bright and filled with a multitude of emotions, and for not the first time today I think, he looks handsome. He plays the game soccer with almost as much joy as I do. I'm just slightly better.
I walk over to the group of onlookers and grab a water bottle. Zach stood beside me, hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. "You ok there little brother?"
He just grunts as a reply, and I laugh at that. Jamie comes over and puts a hand on Zach's back, "Don't feel to bad, she humiliated me too."
"Oh yeah, because I have mad ninja skills." I answer rolling my eyes
"You might as well." my brother finally wheezes out. "You just kicked my ass."
"Hey! Language, Zach, Language." I mockingly yell while sitting on the ground, watching the current game.
"Well you did. You have to admit."
"You bet I did. Huh amateurs " I stated.
"You act like it was easy." Jamie answered
"Maybe it was. Um, can I go take a bath now, I feel like crap."
"Sure I'll show you the way." Jamie answers again.
"I need to go get my bag. Oh my God where is my bag? I haven't seen it since I've been here." I ask hysterically.
"Don't worry I brought it to our room." Zach calls from the doorway.
"Oh thank you." We then entered the labyrinth of caves. I was as good as blind and had not a clue where we were. So I voiced my question and just as I said it we came to the main plaza. "I'm never going to find my was around here." I muttered. We keep walking and all the directions got jumbled up in my brain, until we get to the sleeping corridors.
"Your's room is the last on the left." Jamie tells me. "You can get Zach the lead you to the bathroom, or you can get me, I'm in the room next to yours." He tells me before entering his room.
I slowly approached the doorway to my room. I don't know what to expect, but it has to be better then the many places Zach and I were forced to sleep in the past two years. I push the black curtain aside and all that I see, is home.
Ok author's note time. I don't know if I should continue this story. Since hardly anyone reviews I don't know if people like this story or not. So if more people don't start reviewing I'm going to start a new story and temporally put this one on hold. I need you to review. So review now, even if it's just one word such as , 'cool' or 'horrible'. You don't even need words a smiley face will do. So review, please.
