Bewitching

7|Jobs

I awoke with my cheek pressed against cold cement. Ugh, now i'll have those annoying little rock imprints. I struggle to pull myself of the ground, all of my joints cracking. Ohhhh I'm stiff.
I stand and look around. I'm in the slammer. It's basically a circular cube of cement with a barred window. The not decoration was a wooden chair that had one lopsided chair. Wow, thanks guys.
I started to get really bored after awhile, so I searched for something to ease that feeling in my pockets. My hand closed around something round and hard.
Confused, I pull it out. It's a small picture frame. I'm it, is me and a boy with brown eyes. I squint at him. Holy shuck.
~*~*~

"Hey shank." I turn to see Newt at the window smiling down at me. "Brought you lunch." A paper lunch bag. I then realize how hungry I am. I've only ate once since I've been here.
I pounce on the bag, making multiple joints crack, and rip it open.
I hear Newt chuckle. "Slow down, your going to choke."
"Murchgurphm."
Newt snorts and starts to laugh. He disappears from the bars for a moment, then comes back up, his face red. "What was that Greenie?" I swallow, which was kinda painful seeing as I hadn't fully finished chewing yet. "This is so shucking good." "Frypans specialty." "Ahh."
Then it got awkward. "So." Newt scratched the back of his neck, which is a cute gesture. "Have you seen that weather today? Same as always. Sunny and warm."
Oh my gosh, we are talking about the shucking weather! I can't help it, I burst out laughing. He starts to laugh too, and when we stop we just stay like that, looking at each other in a comfortable silence. A call suddenly sounds from the other side of the glade. Newt sighs and looks backwards. "I gotta go." I sigh. "Come back soon. It's boring in here." I quickly add on before he thinks I'm into him. He chuckles. "Sure." Then he's gone.
~*~*~
And we repeated that pattern for two more days. Until someone had to ruin our fun. I heard the jingling of keys, and suddenly the door swings open, and there, in all of his perfect haired glory, is Minho.
"Morning Greenie, rise 'n shine." I stick out my tongue at him and jump up. "Am I finally allowed out of this dump?" "Yes." He steps back and does a mocking bow. "Your majesty." I strut out and wait for him on the other side. When he turns to lock the door, I push his back. He slams into the door, then turns to me, a stream of profanities leaving his mouth. "You little shuck." I smile and fluff my braid. "I am quite the shuck though, aren't I?" He snorts, and starts to walk away. I wonder how annoyed he'd be if I didn't follow? I follow anyway, and he leads me to the homestead. We enter, and he brings me to Frypans. The warm aroma of pancakes fills my nose and my mouth starts to water. "How's my girl?" Frypan turns to me with a smile. He hands me a plate with pancakes, eggs, bacon and a glass of orange juice. "Yum!" I take the plate. Minho leads me to a table. I frown at him. "Aren't you going to eat?" He shakes his head. "I already ate." "Ok, whatever you say." I start to stuff my face with food.
He suddenly glanced over his shoulder at the ever growing crowd of runners in front of the newly opened doors. "I gotta go." He pats my shoulder. Newts gonna take the day off from running and start to show ya all the jobs." I almost choke. I forgot I had to work. Ain't nobody got time for that.
I sigh. "Finnnneee." He snorts and jogs away. I cannot believe he just left me here. Alone. I am just about to get up and run for it when a tray clatters next to mine and Newt plops down. "Not thinking about bloody ditching are ya?" I flush bright red. "Noooo?" He shakes his head slightly. "Your gonna work with Winston today, alright shank?" I groan "I don't want to murder a cute piggie!" "I never said anything about murdering bloody piggies!" "It was implied with the sentence." "Was not." "Was too." "Was n-" "Stop fighting like a bunch of sissies." I see Minho jog by again with a smirk on his face making kissy noises. "Slinthead." I mutter, picking at my food, appetite suddenly gone. Newt pushes his plate away, apparently feeling the same. "Shall we go?" "We shall." "Then get your bloody butt off of the bench and let's go."

I stood in front of the Bloodhouse currently questioning my life decisions. Newt walks up. "In ya go Elizabeth." I huff and try to blow a piece of hair of my face. "It won't be that bad." I look up and see him looking down at me with sympathy. I give him my best puppy eyes and pout out my bottom lip. "Pleeeeaaaassssseeee ddddooooonnnn'ttttt maaaaakkkkeee meeeeeeee!" I almost cling to his shirt and hang on him, but decide it would be too far.
He laughs and gives me a slight push. "You're gonna be late you shank."

~*~*~

Turns out I faint at the sight of blood.

~*~*~

I blink and look groggily up at the people above me. I see the blurry outlines of Newt, Alby and Winston.
"Shuck, Elizabeth, are you okay?" I groan and pull myself off the ground. "A little confused, but other then that I'm fine." I look around and catch sight of the blood again. "I stagger backwards into Newt who catches me. "What now? Are you okay?" "Blood." I keep my eyes closed and do my best to point to the spot where the blood remains. "Ohhhh, ok." I feel myself lifted off the ground and Newt carries me bridal style away from the blood.
I feel him set me down and open my eyes. I'm sitting with my back against a tree. Alby and Winston followed us out "Better?" I nod weakly. "Much."

They gave me a few minutes rest until I tried the rest of the jobs. I personally liked Medjack. They told me I couldn't try runner until I had been here for awhile. Well that's just plain stupid.
I now currently sit at a picnic table eating with Newt,Chuck and Minho.
"Hey, I guess you'll be bunking with me." I look up at Minho in shock. "What?" Alby and I talked, and we are absolutely not letting you sleep outside with all of these teenage boys." I sigh. "Thanks. But does it had to be-" Minho cuts me off. "With you?" He finishes. "No, but I wanted to annoy you, so I told Alby you told me you wanted to bunk with me." I groan and hit him
In the side.
Boys.
