A/N: I'm really, really, really, really sorry about the long wait. I was suffering from writers block combined with the fact that I can't update on my iPod.
Disclaimer: Is my name John Flanagan? Am I and old man? Do I live in manly? No. Therefore I don't own.
When the three skirls where standing up the front, Sigurd spoke.
"Right! Tursgud, you choose first. Call out the name of the person you want in your brotherband."
Tursgud grinned.
"Knut! Come and join the winning band!"
"Just the names. Never mind the blather."
Sigurd was honestly getting sick of Tursgud. Tursgud glanced at him, surprised. He wasn't used to been corrected in public.
"Dell."
Dell was one of Rolland's close friends. Now it was Hal's turn.
"Stig."
Stig grinned and moved forward to stand next to his friend. Back to Tursgud again.
"Carl."
Rolland.
"Jackson."
Hal looked at the remaining people.
"Stefan."
"Pete."
"Mitch."
"Jesper."
It kept on in this fashion until only five people. Four boys that Hal didn't know the names of (but knew by reputation were bullies) and Zac. The other skirls hadn't yet chosen him and Hal suspected that was because he was new.
"Zac."
Zac looked up in surprise. I thought I was going to be picked last. He headed up to stand next to Hal anyway. Tursgud sneered at him, then turned his attention at the remaining four.
"Karl."
Rolland inspected the trio that were waiting in front of him.
"Jock."
Hal sighed. He didn't really want either of them.
"I pass."
Really sorry it's not that long! I'll do a longer one next time. Promise!
