The Book Travelers

Chapter 6

"Aww. True love. Pathetic." Gally said.

I was about to punch him in the face, but Charlotte held me back.

"Ok, Greenie. Ya know how this goes." Gally said.

Thomas lunched himself at Gally, pushing him with all of his force. Didn't work. Gally pushed Thomas down.

"I'll take it easy on ya, Greenie." Gally said.

"Stop calling me that." Thomas demanded.

"What, Greenie? Do you want me to call you Shank? What do you think, boys? Does he look like a Shank to you?" Gally asked.

Thomas threw himself at Gally, who threw him into the ground...again.

Thomas banged his head pretty hard on the ground, the look on his face explained it. But then the hurt look disappeared and he said his name.

"Thomas." He whispered. He stood up and said it again.

"My name! It's Thomas!" He yelled. Everyone stayed quiet. Someone had to start the cheers, so I did.

"Yea, Thomas!" I yelled. I started clapping and soon everyone joined in.

"Not bad, Thomas. Not bad." Gally said.

"You too, girly." Gally then said to me. I nodded my head.

"You too." I said.

Thomas then ran to me.

"You took a hard punch. You okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine, Thomas." I said with a smile.

"Are you su-" Thomas started. He was interrupted by a loud moan.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the Doors.

"Ok! We had a good night! Get to bed! We'll get up in the wake up tomorrow!" Alby said clapping and breaking the awkward silence. Everyone walked over to the hammocks.

I couldn't fall asleep so I sat down, leaning against one of the poles, staring at the Doors.

"You okay, Katelyn?" I heard from behind me.

I turned around to see Thomas standing there.

"Yea, I'm fine." I said, turning back around to face the walls.

"Are you sure?" Thomas asked, sitting down beside me.

"I'm fine, Thomas." I said, never loosing my sight on the Doors.

Thomas stayed quiet and stayed next to me. I didn't realize I was falling asleep until I put my head on Thomas' shoulder. I was too tired to pick my head up off of his shoulder, so I just sat there.

I was soon asleep.
