Chapter 3- The Blowout, Amongst Other Things
Later That Same Day
"RACE! What is wrong with you! "I yelled as I ran up the stairs and into the bunkroom
"Nothing is wrong with me I am perfectly fine at the moment" he answered back form his bunk
"We'll apparently there is something wrong with that head of your considerin' you just beat up some innocent guy, for no apparent reason, you could have seriously hurt your self that guy was twice your size " I screamed but at a slightly lower volume
"I didn't like the way he was lookin' at you and da things dat he said when I asked him what he was looking at" he mumbled
"What! Something that might suggest that he had a slightest bit of interest in me" I spat back
"No the way he was leering at you like a disgustin' pig, and the way he told me that ' he wouldn't mind getting a piece of that' referrin' to you " he spat back as he got up and walked up to me so that we were right in each others faces
"Ya' know, why is that such a crisis that a guy might actually be interested in me" I argued
"Because …I just didn't like the look at him and..." he stammered slightly
"You know what Race, I'm so sick of this why does it always have to be like this, why do we always have to fight" I said quietly
"I don't know, I guess it's just a part of growin' up ya know, look Ise sorry I jumped the guy I just, I guess I ..." he said calming down and lowering his voice
"Don't worry about it Race, you were just looking out for me, but next time don't try and kill the guy just because he thinks I look good" I said smiling slightly
"Yeah I'll try my best" he said now fully grinning
"You'd better" I said while slapping him playfully on the arm
"Mhhmm…" he responded while grabbing me and flipping me onto the bunk
"Ahh!" I shrieked and got up and tackled him, catching him by surprise, he fell onto the nearest bed and I landed on top of him laughing like a goof
"Gotcha" I remarked and I put my elbows next to his head on either side
"Yea, yea" he mumbled and then I realized just how close we were to one another and took a sharp intake of breath as my green eyes met his dark brown, then all of a sudden I heard footsteps and loud voices coming up the stairs and I sprung off of Race and nearly hit my head on the bunk above us and we moved away form each other leaving at least five feet of space between us about a second later the boys walked in and Blink remarked
"Is the war-zone safe now"
"Shut up Blink" I mumbled
"I guess not then" he said as he walked into the washroom to clean off his face chuckling
"But seriously are you two ok cause I don't want ta have ta clean up any blood shed tonight" Skittery said while messing up my hair as he walked past on the way to his bunk
"Yea were alright" Race said as he sat back down on his bunk and put a new cigar in his mouth
"Good now hows about some pokea' " Blink suggested as he rejoined the group and sat down at the poker table
"I'm in" I stated as I got up form my bunk
"Sure why not" Race agreed immediately and we both got up and glanced at each other and then averted our eyes to any place but the other and sat down at the table
"Well this should be interesting" I thought to myself
