The Choice

Ch.6

" Come on!" Willow called from behind the tall crate. We set up most of our stuff ahead of time, but not all the stuff. I was so glad that we didn't have the report, it gives us more time. Willow tripped over her dress and I giggled and helped her up, dropping my things in the process.

" Good decision." she said pointing to my outfit. I was wearing a light salmon colored blouse, and a very comfortable pair of jeans. I laughed and helped her pick up the boxes and taking them towards the dome of vines. We took out everything and set it up neatly. The tables and chairs where grey, with a teal chevron pattern.

" It looks absolutely, positively-" willow said.

" Spiritually, physically, undeniably and reliably, perfect!" I said, quoting one of my favorite movies from before the war. We both collapsed on the blue rug, both in a fit of giggles.

I clutched my stomach. From all the laughing, I think I just got my ab workout for the day!

" Miss, we have an important message for you." I guard said as he walked up behind us. A look of grief and bewilderment was spread across his face. My laughter stopped immediately. I got up and went to go talk to the guard. Willow started to get up behind me.

" No, I've got this girl." I said with one last laugh, and although it was fake she bought it and completed the final touches. I walked past the guard flicking my hand to show that he should come. We turned a few corners in the hedge maze, all rights, and then I turned on my heal. Even in jeans, I think I'm pretty intimidating. I placed my hand on my hip and started sternly talking to the boy, who was about fourteen, and had probably just starting his training.

" Listen, if you have anything to say to either of us, it can wait still after the party." I said looking down on him from my few inch heels.

" But miss, its for Willow, I'm sure show would want to know that her sister just died." He yelled in his snotty voice. I prayed that Willow couldn't hear us from this far away. I was taken aback, poor Willow.

" I don't know what your name is but-"

" Conor."

" Well Conor, as you might know I am very close with Christian, so if you don't straight up your act, I might just let it slip that you aren't cut out to be a guard. You can't even listen to a simple order." My furry building up inside of me like Legos.

" Yes miss, I will tell the general, and she will be contacted when the party is over." he said with a bow and then straightening up, " oh, and Gemma would like to know what color dress she should wear." he added

" See, now that's what you should of done in the first place. And tell her that any color would work but blue would fit in." I said ruffling his brownish, blondish hair and sent him on his way.

I walked back to Willow and tried to hide my sorrow.

" What was that about?" She asked, still her cheerful, perky self.

" Oh, it was just him asking what color Gemma's dress should wear, after her first one was ruined."

Was that considered a lie? I hate lying o my friends, but it's not my place to tell her. Well actually, it is the guards duty to, but I stopped him.

" Oh, blue would be good."

" That's what I said!" I exclaimed.

Ahh! I'm sorry this is so short!!! The party will be next chapter!! Thanks for the comments on the questions. I got a lot of good ideas!

Guys!!!! I've been watching a lot of Conor Franta, or our2ndlife. Did I get that right? Well, I know that Conor isn't 14, but it's just someone who looks like him and has the name Conor.

" He will literally drop everything. like seriously, if he is holding his grandma, for some weird reason, he's gonna drop her! And come to your house. Poor grandma." -Conor Franta

And that everyone, is your daily dosage of Conor, and an ongoing joke with one of my really good friends.
