Chapter 6: Trying to Impress a Guy (1000 view special)

Beni typed in a nuber on her watch-phone. She hadn't talked to her preschool friend in years. She got sent the number but never called.

"Hey. Marinda? You got those guys swooning you? I have to ask. How do you catch a guy's attention?"

Quarton

"Hey, guys." Bravenwolf said to his friends.

"Sup, bro?" Tributon greeted.

As the guys came up with the plan, Venetta prepared her act.

"Alright, let's do it!" Bravenwolf shouted.

"YEAH!"

"Hey, Bravenwolf!"

Bravenwolf turned to the female.

"Check this out."

Venetta stood on one foot while juggling her daggers.

"She's a nut. Pass it on." Tributon whispered to Lydendor.

"She's a nut. Pass it on." Lydendor whispered to Valorn.

"She's a nut. Pass it on." Valorn whispered to Dromus.

"She's a nut." Dromus whispered to Bravenwolf.

Bravenwolf said nothing.

Venetta finally caught the daggers on the tip of the blade.

"Ta-da!"

Nobody said anything. Just stared at her.

The next day

"All right, so it's another skirmish today." Bravenwolf announced. "So today we'll-"

"WASSUP!" Venetta burst out.

"Okay. Something is wrong with you." Valorn said.

"Shut yo' pie hole."

"Okay, missy!" Tributon yelled. "I'm going to go Katniss!"

"Katniss ya'self!"

Bravenwolf said nothing.

The next day

"Alright, so they're coming with war stallions. So we're going to have to-" Bravenwolf started.

Venetta grabbed his helmet and said, "Doesn't this helmet make you look handsome, Bravenwolf!"

"What?"

The other Knights just fell silent.

"And that sword... Doesn't it make you look dashing..."

"Okay, seriously, what are you doing right now?"

"And even that shield... it just looks..."

Bravenwolf had tuned her out.

Bravenwolf said nothing.
