Kassidy's Travels

Breakthrough, and A Broken Bone, Too.

Claire was pretty good and obedient. She was placed as a Slopper, the poor girl. I felt bad for her, but she said she liked cleaning. By this time, Thomas and Teresa were officially a thing, and my sister was with somebody, too. Chuck! Can you believe it! They were SO cute together (somebody make up a ship name for Clair and Chuck)! They were both so friendly and outgoing! It was destiny.
By this time, people were wondering who I would be with. All the boys under 14 were going out of their way to be nice to me. I was really only interested in one of them. His name was Zac. He had orange hair and brown eyes, and he was a little taller than me. He always sat with me at breakfast, lunch and dinner, even if it meant he had to wait for me. He was a Bagger. He was nice, but he was a little intimidating.one night we were looking at the stars. I loved the stars. I liked to think maybe they were other places. Like the maze was a star and all the other stars had mazes. It made me feel less alone. Eventually, I fell asleep. While lying in the grass with him. This only occurred to me when I heard a whistle and opened my eyes to see Claire, Chuck, Teresa, Thomas, and Minho standing around us. Shuck. Shuck shuck shuck shuck SHUCK! No surprise, Minho had whistled. Well, now it was official. Thomas and Teresa had been found together asleep and that officiated them, same with Claire and Chuck. I smiled and got up. Zac got up, too. He saw everybody and saw my face, and he smiled back. He jokingly got down on his knee and asked:
"Kassidy, would you like to be an item with me?"
"No."
"What?" He asked while getting up
"No, as in I want to be your girlfriend and not use a stupid name for it, you silly shank!" I said as I got on my tippy toes to plant a kiss on his cheek.
"Yay!" He said as he picked me up and swung me around. I smiled.

Then I had to go off to work. After breakfast was made and served, I sat with Zac under a tree. Eddy kept looking at me kinda funny. He had been the person who was always hitting on me. It kind of made me feel bad. He looked so... Rejected! That was the word. I decided to brush it off. One day, in between lunch and dinner, Zac was busy with some Glader who blew a fuse. I was wandering around. I found myself over at the Builder's work area, I loved watching them work. Eddy walked over to me and sat with me.
"Oh, hi, Eddy."
"Hey slinthead."
"What the shuck was that for?"
"For choosing that slinthead Zac over me!" He said as he punched me in the arm.
"Whoa, easy there tiger!" I said while rubbing my arm.
He stood up and was about to walk away before he just, out of nowhere, kicked me in the stomach!
"Hey, hey, hey! Eddy, stop that!" I heard Gally scream as he ran over. Eddy looked at him, then at me. He punched me in the face. Now I was mad. I got up and tackled him. I kneed him in the stomach, but then I just held him down until Gally came. Zac was running over, and he grabbed me while Gally grabbed Eddy. We were both struggling against our captors, but it was no use. Zac let me go and took Eddy from Gally. He needed to go cool off in the Slammer. By this time, I was crying, but I didn't know it. Not until Gally came over and said
"Hey, it's okay now. You can stop crying." I wiped my face off and looked up at him. Why was everybody here taller than me?
"Thanks for helping me out. But for the record, I could have gotten him off at any time."
"Sure you could've. Listen, I'm sorry for being such a slinthead to you when you got here. I just really thought you guys knew something." He said while smiling sheepishly.
"It's okay. And sorry for beating you up. I guess I have a bit of a short fuse..." I trailed off.
Then we suddenly both started laughing.
"You're the only person I can think of who's actually talked to me and apologized. Your also the only girl who I've been beat up by as far as I know."
"Well you're apparently the only shank who realizes: 'Hey, a twelve year old girl getting beat up by a fourteen year old boy. MAYBE I should help her!' I mean, how hard is it to notice that!?"
"Not very hard, but did you notice your arm? It's kinda, bent... weird.... You might want to go get that checked out..."
"Oh yeah," I said glancing down at my elbow that was currently bent backwards "How did that even happen?!"
Gally shrugged his shoulders and waved as I walked off. I waved back with my good arm. As soon as I was sure he wasn't looking, I broke into a sprint to the Med-Jacks. This thing hurt like the dickens! I thought. Since when did I say dickens? I asked myself. I shrugged my shoulders. I found Clint, he saw my arm, and hurried me up the stairs of the homestead. He put me up on the table they used to treat people.
"Okay, we're going to move it, don't freak out, okay?" I nodded mutely. But, as soon as he started to move it, I passed out. When I came to, I was laying in a bed. I looked at my arm, in its sling. I tried to move it and got a shock of pain up my arm, which made me cry out. Clint walked in.
"Oh, good. You're up. Are you up for having somebody visit?"
"Yeah, who?"
"Gally. I'm shocked."
"I'm not. Go ahead and let him in." I smiled.
Clint looked at me quizzically, but went and got Gally.
"Hey, Gally."
"Oh, thank god! I thought you were never waking up."
"What? How long have I been out?!"
"A week."
"Oh, God. I guess it wasn't just my minor freak out when he moved my arm."
"Yeah, he didn't expect it, and you fell on the ground and hit your head."
"Well that explains a lot. Has anybody else visited?"
"Yeah, Chuck and Claire visit everyday. Thomas and Teresa are too busy-"
"Making goo-goo eyes at each other. I know. What about Zac?"
"Visit? He practically lived here. Clint made him go take a shower and eat something besides soup."
I smiled. Then Teresa and Thomas walked in.
"What are you doing here Gally?" Thomas asked accusingly.
"Unlike you two lovebirds, he's visiting me. I thought my own sister would care enough to come visit her sister who's been in a coma for a week. Do you even care about me anymore? All you care about is Thomas, and all he cares about is you. After Chuck and Claire got together, I thought maybe you would still be there for me. But no. I was alone for two weeks until I found a boyfriend. At least he eats with me. Unlike my own family! Maybe we're not even sisters! Maybe that's just what WICKED wants us to think. And even though the only thing I think about WICKED is that 'WICKED is good', if they made me think that, then WICKED IS MOST CERTAINLY BAD!" I was screaming by the time I said the last part.
Teresa's eyes filled with tears, and she ran out of my room. Thomas looked at me.
"Nice."
"Well, at least it's the truth!" I yelled after him as he walked out. I turned to Gally "Sorry you had to see that. She just makes me so MAD!" I said.
"It's okay."
Clint walked in "I heard yelling. What's up?"
I sighed. "Family stuff. Do you think I can leave now?"
"Yeah, if you can walk."
I sat up and swung my legs over the edge of my bed. I stood up and walked to Clint. "Can I leave now?" I asked sassily.
"I don't need your sass."
"Yes you do. Everybody needs my sass. You just can't comprehend my fabulous!"
Gally rolled his eyes, and Clint waved me out.
