Here is another chapter as promised! Thank you NinjaSquirrel321 for following the story! Sorry this chapter took so long, it's just I have been soooooo busy. Anyway, here is the chapter!
Lynn and Newt were perched on a tree log by the fire, Alby decided to have a little shindig for Lynn, since she was the new greenie.
"So, what job am I stuck with tomorrow?" Lynn asked, taking a sip of Gally's special drink.
"Slicers," Newt answered, "Most greenies klunk their pants after five minutes," Lynn set her drink down and turned to face her brother.
"When do I become a Runner?" Newt looked at her with wide eyes.
"Listen," Lynn began, "I've already been doing it for two years Newt, two years! Why can't I continue to do it?"
Newt sighed, "Okay, if you want to be a Runner. You have to get through Minho," Newt pointed to an Asian boy talking with his friends a few feet away. "He's the keeper of the Runners. You'll probably run with those shanks day after tomorrow."
Lynn gave Newt a puzzled look, "What's a shank?"
"It's part of the Glader slang that we use, You'll pick up on it eventually." he replied, "I guess your group of girlys have their own language as well,"
"How do you know that?"
"Well the word 'stick' isn't heard around here that often," Lynn averted her eyes and fiddled with the hem of her shirt.
"C'mon," Newt said patting her shoulder, "I'll show ya around," He stood up and held a hand out for her to take.
"I don't know," she mumbled, "I'm really not in the mood for - WOAH!" Newt had grabbed her hand and hauled her up, causing her to stumble but was quickly caught by her brother. Lynn lightly smacked is arm muttering 'stick' under her breath, which caused Newt to lightly chuckle. The pair began to walk around.
"That's Winston," Newt pointed to an acne covered boy with black hair, "You'll be with him tomorrow , since he is the Keeper of the Slicers."
"Lucky me,"
"And you already know Clint and Jeff, our to Med-Jack's," He gestured to the same two boys from earlier. Lynn opened her mouth to say something when a Glader from Gally's little circle bumped into her, causing her to trip. Her gaze met with Gally's stare.
"What d'ya say girly? wanna go for a round?" Lynn glanced at the other boys looking at her as they started chanting "greenie, greenie," Newt gave her a shove and she walked towards Gally.
"Alright girly, rules are simple. Just try and last more than five seconds and no crying." Everyone laughed making Lynn blush. Lynn lunged at him, trying to push him out of the circle but with one shove Gally pushed into three boys who shoved her back in.
"Come on girly, we're not done yet,"
"Stop calling me girly," Lynn spat, brushing herself off.
"What do you want to be called? Shank?" the others laughed... again. Lynn went to have another go at him but he side stepped and Lynn fell to the ground, getting a mouthful of sand.
"I think I've settled on Shank," said Gally. Lynn quickly stood up, when Gally went to attack her again, she grabbed his arm and flipped him over, having him land on his stomach. Lynn crouched down to his level, she said,
"See ya later Captain Shuck-face," she mocked a salute and stood up.
"Let's go Lynn," Newt said, putting an arm around her shoulders, "You've had a long day,"
