We all sat down around the bonfire. Chuck kept asking questions. All his questions were answered. His questions were really random, and when he asked a question he looked around and immediately asked another question about something he saw or heard.
"Who built that?" he pointed to the hen house.
"The builders" Alby answered.
"The builders" he repeated. "What are your jobs?"
"Runner" Minho said curtly.
"The best med-jack of the whole glade" Jack said.
"Oh please, there are only three of them" Frypan said, he turned to Chuck, "I'm the keeper of the cooks, that means I'm the best" And that was said to Jack. Jack mocked him.
"Ppfft" Alby laughed. "I'm the leader, I am" he pointed with his thumbs to himself "the best"
"That's true. Nobody can beat Alby. That's why I'm only the second-in-command" Newt said.
"Only the second-in-command" I said. I laughed at his remark. He wasn't just a second-in-command.
"Oh yes, you're lucky that you're a whatever-she-does-people thingy (ugh that's a crappy name :'( ) " Frypan said. Why am I lucky?
"Why?" I asked confused.
"You don't have a lot of work" Minho answered. I looked at them disbelievingly. One by one.
"You all think that?" I asked. They nodded. My eyes were filled with disbelief. What a bunch of assholes! Let her do that, yes! She's a girl, she can't handle our work! That's what they probably thought when they made me a whatever-she-does-girl.
"Try spreading happiness in this place of depression" I said angrily. I pushed Newt's arm of my shoulder, stood up and walked away to grab my stick. Not that I was going to hurt them, I just wanted to scare them. I didn't look back but I knew they were all confused. I had my stick and went back to the boys. I was cooled down but still touchy.
"You're not going to hurt us, right?" Jack asked scared. Ha! Ten minutes ago he was still cocky! I shook my head, but squeezed in my stick. My knuckles were white.
"Then try doing what I do" I said calmly. They still looked at me with disbelief in their eyes. Then Minho shrugged and laughed.
"No matter how badly I want to, I got to keep running. I'm sorry woman, I can't help you" he joked. I gave him an angry look but he just kept laughing.
"I want to try" Frypan said, "it's not like I have to cook the whole day" Jack agreed.
"Yes, I want to help spread happiness" he said.
"Me and Chuck will also help" Newt said. Who looked at Chuck who was smiling at me. Cute!
"Sorry, I have a lot of work" Alby apologized. I understood that. He was a leader, that was difficult. I nodded understanding it. Louis began to play guitar. I stood up, grabbed Newt's arm and we danced the whole evening with the other boys.
