OMG Its been forever since I've been able to update and I apologize. I've been working my little butt off and today is my first day off in like..a week. But anyways, if you haven't noticed I changed the title of my story since my old one was too similar to another story on here and well, that's just not cool. Haha, now, onward to the chapter!
Chapter 3
It didn't sleep a wink last night and it put me in a foul mood. I couldn't get my mind to stop wandering and thinking about whats outside this stupid Glade. Sitting up in my hammock, I rubbed my eyes and let out a tired groan
"Good mornin Greenie, sleep well?" I rolled my eyes as a familiar accented voice approached me from behind.
"If you need to know, I really didn't and if you value your life I would keep conversation with me to a minimum." I said as I pushed myself out of my hammock, I slipped into my shoes and turned to face the smirking blonde. I mimic his gesture and I cross my arms
"Well second-in-command, where are you taking me? I was told I have a big day ahead of me." I all but spit at him as he reaches out and grabs my elbow and gently leads me out of the homestead. I wanted to rip my arm out of his grasp but I decided not to be too mean so I kept my mouth shut and walked with him. Taking the time to look around I see boys tending to animals, pulling weeds, planting seeds, and doing many things that makes it seem to me they were born on a farm, not put in the Glade only two years ago. It was pretty amazing and well put together. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Newt handed me a plate loaded with bacon, eggs and some toast. Just looking at it makes my mouth water, I look up at him and he nods his head in a gesture saying 'You're welcome'.
"Thanks Newt." I mumble, slightly embarrassed for snapping at him earlier. I sit down at any random table, not caring at the moment and I shovel food down my throat. I was pretty sure if anyone was watching they would be pretty grossed out. Once finished I hand my plate back to Frypan and follow Newt again. He leads me to a barn and my nose wrinkles at the smell of something metallic and coppery
"Uhm, where are we?" I ask raising my eyebrow at the blonde who looks to me
"Today is your first official day in the Glade so we have to find you a place to fit in. We usually bring the Greenies to the Slicers first, this probably wont be the job for you but It never hurts to try. So this is where I leave you, when you're finished, come find me." He turns around and walks off with a wave
"Wait what?! Newt don't just leave me here! Newt!" I shout at him and when he shakes his head and continues to keep walking. I clench my fists in anger
"I'm going to shove my foot so far up his ass!" I turn around and standing there with a wide smile on his face is none other than the Keeper of the Slicers himself
"You are a wild one aren't you." He laughs and I turn red
"Don't say anything, I don't feel like getting yelled at by Alby." I sigh and follow him into the barn, I almost gag at the overwhelming smell of blood. I exhale a deep breath as I force my stomach to quit flipping.
"What exactly am I supposed to do here?" I ask and look around at all the knifes and tables around this room, in the right hand corner of the room is a door to another room shes guessing holds the meat after its been sliced. She jumps when she hears a squeal of a pig and she looks back at Winston who is carrying in a good sized pig. My eyes widen when I understand what it is we're going to do.
"Nope, If you're going to make me kill that innocent pig the answer is no. I enjoy eating meat but I can't kill it." I say as I shake my head violently. He puts the pig in a smaller pen and he picks up a large serrated blade and looks at me
"For your information little lady, I may be a bit of a shuckface at times but I'm not going to ask you to slaughter an animal..yet. And that's only if this is the right job for you." he states as he shrugs his shoulders. I shake my head and suck in my lips. He raises his eyebrows asking me when he can continue.
"I can tell you now, this is not for me..I don't think I can stay around for this." as I speak he reaches over and quickly runs the blade along the throat of the pig. I almost lose my breakfast when I hear the wet sound the knife makes as it cuts into flesh mixed with the dying squeals of the pig. I can't take it anymore and I turn and quickly walk out. I briskly walk away from the barn as I take in deep breaths. I close my eyes as I run my fingers through my hair, I head towards to Counsel Hall, hoping to find Newt to tell him I was sorry but I couldn't even handle an hour with the Slicers but I don't make it very far as I run face first into someone.
"Ouch! What the hell!" I cover my sore nose and I look up and see the Asian kid, his face changes from that of momentary shock to a slight frown.
"Do you always walk around without paying attention to where your shuckin' goin' Greenie?" he says with a cocky smirk, I make a face at him
"Well excuse me, I wasn't expecting to run face first into someone. Maybe it was you who wasn't watching where they were going." I place my hands on my hips as I hold my ground against his...sass. He raises both eyebrows and crosses his arms as he stares at her face long and hard.
"I always watch where I'm going girl. And don't you think you should be a little nicer to the person you not only walked into but to someone you just met? You make a klunk first impression Greenie." he retorts, I narrow my eyes at him and I swear if I hear the word Greenie again I'm going to punch the user of that word in the face.
"My name isn't girl, or Greenie. Its Jo. Call me by name or don't call me anything. Thanks." I push by him and I'm held back by his calloused hand gripping my upper arm, I whip my head around to glare daggers at him
"Let go of me." I spit out and the smirk on his smug face makes me want to slap him even more, I hold my ground as he leans in close to my face.
"You should watch that pretty mouth of yours or ill personally send you to the slammer. Got it? Greenie.." with the last word, I yank my arm out of his firm grip and turn on my heel and walk inside.
'What a dick! Who the hell does the think he is?!'
I walk inside and see Alby meeting with Newt, the blonde looks up at him and raises an eyebrow, "Done already?" I simply nod and he sighs
"Go outside, I'll find you in a bit." He sends me off and I sigh as I turn back around and walk of the hall.
WHOO! Finally finished chapter 3 and also introduced Jo and Minho to each other..well kinda. It was rather filled with some..sass.. I just love that word..sass. haha. Anyways, please review and I really hope you liked it.
