Brianna was outraged. She couldn't believe it.
First, Brianna thought, the military just waltzed on in and kidnapped ten of the FAYZ survivors, without letting us see our parents! Then, they smugly shoved us into the back of a very cramped van. Not to mention, whoever was driving lacked driving skills. And now, somehow, the soldiers paired up the worst possible two and pushed them into a room, locked it, then left. Rude!
If Brianna ever got out of this place, she was not going to write a very happy letter to whoever was in charge. The worse part was who she had to share a room with.
Brianna and Dekka shared a room.
Brianna didn't know what to say to Dekka. She didn't want to talk to her about what happened during Dekka's surgery. So Brianna just awkwardly sat down and looked at her shoes. They were in tatters already, but not bad enough she had to get more.
Brianna liked Dekka as a friend. A really, really close friend. Like a sister. They were an extremely close pair of sisters who had their hands cemented, killed some people, and basically survived through hell together. But Brianna didn't want to be sisters with benefits.
Dekka cleared her throat.
"So, this has been a whirlwind of a day," she said sheepishly.
"Yeah. Definitely a crazy one," Brianna said back with an awkward smile.
The two of them spent the rest of the time having awkward small talk, or sat in silence.
Then the soldiers came back to get them.
Jack hated the pairings. Hated them. Jack wished he could have shared a room with anyone else, even Caine!
Well, maybe not Caine, but still, sharing a room with Diana was nightmarish to Jack.
He couldn't stop blushing, which he hated himself for. Jack tried to hide the constant redness of his face by looking at his shoes. Diana noticed and smirked.
"Poor Jack. He's feeling a bit uncomfortable," she said. Jack felt his face burning.
"Wow, it's just sad, how after everything I have done to you, you still have a crush on me," Diana drawled on.
"I do not have a crush on you!" Jack cried indignantly. Even he knew it was pointless. His blushing face said it all. Diana just laughed, but thankfully the rest of their time in their room was silence.
Jack noticed Diana putting a hand on her stomach and frowned. She must be having a stomach ache, Jack thought.
Then the soldiers came to get them.
Lana didn't really talk to Astrid that much. She didn't mind Astrid, so her pairing was actually fine. Lana and Astrid didn't talk. They just sat and thought about what was going to happen next.
Lana liked the quiet, but she missed Patrick. She had Sanjit take Patrick with him before the soldiers took Lana away.
Then, a while later, the soldiers broke the silence, and took Astrid and Lana away again.
Caine was put into a room with Sam. Caine didn't really care, he was planning to escape with Diana as soon as the moment presented itself. He had no interests in doing whatever Sam and his crew intended on doing. Caine didn't plan on hurting the other eight FAYZians, unless they got in his way. He just wanted to run away with Diana. He didn't know where he would go, all he knew was that he did not want to stick with Sam.
Caine and Sam didn't talk. He liked it that way. Nothing to talk about, anyways. Caine wondered what happened to Penny and Bug, they were loyal to him. Maybe he would find them when Diana and him escaped. The idea of Caine being alone with Diana again gave him a pleasant feeling.
Then the soldiers came back.
Edilio shared a room with Quinn. Honestly, he didn't mind Quinn too much. But he knew Quinn didn't like Edilio. Quinn was jealous of him because he thought Edilio would steal his best friend, Sam.
At least that was before Quinn started fishing and got his fishing crew.
Edilio didn't think Quinn hated him anymore.
So his roommate wasn't too bad. It could have been worse.
Edilio wasn't in a very talkative mood. Being freed from the FAYZ only to be taken into custody didn't exactly put one in the best of moods. Not to mention, Edilio was worried he would be shipped back to the Honduras.
Quinn didn't feel like talking, either. The two boys sat in silence.
Until the soldiers came back for them.
