Reprecussions

Chapter 13

      I tell Sammy and Alyssa to come meet in the Constructors' area once they're done with breakfast so we can start on the expansion. As of right now, I'm sitting in between Ren and Hadley. I push around the food on the plate, already full from the coffee this morning. From time to time Ren brushes his leg against mine to remind me of the little "game" we started this morning.

Once breakfast is over Ren, Lilac, Demetri, and I walk over to the Constructors' area to discuss the expansion. Lilac and Demetri are only coming to know what's going on and give ideas. Alyssa, Matt, and Sammy are already in there when we walk through the arch. We all stand along the table in the back.

I start off the conversation first. "I looked over both blueprints last night and didn't see anything in them that would cause any problems with the area for the room. The only thing would be getting through the wall of concrete and then the dirt behind it."

Alyssa jumps in. "Brexley's right. As for the blue prints, there's nothing wrong but we'd still have to be careful in case there's something that didn't get transferred onto the blueprints or after the war everything sank down." She pauses. "As for the concrete wall, it'll take us about a day just to get through it. But it could be sooner depending on the boys and how well everyone gets together. But after we get through it we can have the Engineers' have a look for anything electrical or anything as we go along with the dirt. If we find anything we'll let you know." She finishes up.

I look towards Sammy and she nods at me. "I'll get everyone on the plan and start gearing up on tools and supplies."

"Do you think you guys can start today or tomorrow?" Ren comments. He's on my left with both hands on the edge of the table. I look at Alyssa.

She folds her arms. "I would think so. Once we get everyone together and situated we should be good to go today and hopefully finish tonight either before or a little after dinner if everything goes to plan." She concludes.

I nod at her. "Any questions?" I look around the room to see everyone says no. "Good." Everyone disperses. I get the list of opposites from Alyssa. Lilac and Demetri leave to do their duties as Ren and I go to retrieve the lists.

We go to Runners' next. Faith has the list ready and has picked out an opposite for her. His name is Alex. He's taller with black hair and green eyes. He's skinnier as well and has tanner skin than Faith. He does carry a serious face though with his brows scrunched together. After we go over the running schedule and make sure everything is good we head out.

We go over to Riley at Medics and meet her opposite: Jonathan. He's a redhead with blue eyes. He's a happy person based on how he greets me. He must be one of those who tries to stay hopeful. For the next couple of days, the girls will be teaching their opposites what they know and they'll be doing group lessons. I grab their list as they teach.

We head to Engineers next with Sammy. Her opposite is a guy named Aiden. He's blond with blue eyes. He's average height but his face looks as though he's sad all the time. Different from the hopeful Jonathan we just met. Their list is ready as well.

Onto Mia and Nate with Scientists. We get their list and head to the cooks. We end with Catie and Issac giving us their list.

It's time for lunch by the time we finish up. It doesn't seem like we did a lot but we do talk a lot with the Leaders of each department. Lunch does go by fast. I chatted with Lilac since she and Demetri are watching over the girls and boys and making sure they don't get into trouble. When we're done, Ren and I head up to my room to put down all the lists.

"Nice room." He says as he walks through the door. I put the lists on my desk to look over later and learn everyone.

"Thanks? You've been in here before. If you don't remember." I half sit on my desk. Where one leg is hanging off but I'm standing. I cross my arms and look at him. "Your's looks the exact same, you know." He walks closer.
