Chapter nine: What was that?
Myanh's POV
Maybe I should go up to him. Yeah, that's what I will do. God, he's so hot! And if what Shadi tells me is true, then he dies soon. Well, I'm going to do something about that. Walking, walking, walking. Okay, now to say something. I open my mouth, but he gets in first.
Joren's POV
It looks like the sluts talking to herself. Mad, as well as totally slutty. And she's staring at me. So not cool. Okay, she now looks determined. Oh, great. She's walking towards me. Actually, she looks kind of nice. Red eyes. Nice. What! I'm not supposed to like her. Vinson and Garvey, where are you! She's opened her mouth to say something.
"You've got nice lips." What! Did I say that aloud? From the look on her face, I think I did. Actually, she looks really pleased. I'm glad. At least she looks pretty. Not like the lump. If she wanted to be a page, I'd gladly accept her – or not. Women have no place handling weapons or doing any sort of fighting.
And now she's recovered enough to say something.
Myanh's POV
"You've got nice lips." Wait, did he just say that? Oh my god, I think he did! He looks angry with himself, and surprised he said that. I'm glad he did. If it's like that here, I'll be happy.
I wonder if there's somewhere I can get changed? I liked the look of the dresses in my bags. Where are my bags? I don't know. I'll have to look into that.
Great, now he's like, checking me out. At least he looks pleased with what he sees. Now he's smiling. He has a nice smile. Maybe I'll tell him that. Or maybe not. I like him. He's so. I don't know. I like long blonde hair. I'd better say something now.
"Hi. You've got a pretty odd way of greeting people." I say. God! How stupid can you be? I want him to have a good impression of me. I should have just gone, 'Hello, I'm Myanh. And you are?' in a really flirty way. Oh well, too late now.
No ones POV
"Excuse me!" Came a voice. Myanh and Joren looked around, wondering what it was.
"Alanna." Joren said, as though that explained everything.
