Welcome back. Sorry for not updaiting...
I stepped out of the homestead and breathed in the much fresher air. From behind me I heard the guy saying: ,,By the way, my name is Chris. ,,Sophie., I answered simply. He caught up and we walked in the direction of the bonfire. We talked a bit, but in the conversation were many awkward silences.
When we finally arrived, I scanned the crowd and recognised Newt, Ben, Alby and Minho. I noticed that that were the only guys I knew the names. Well, I knew Chris too
,,Hey Sophie. Over here., Ben yelled. I walked to the logs, where he, the Asian and a few other guys I didnt know sat.
,,Hi. Is there space for me anywhere?, I asked smiling. Ben looked around and nodded to the last place beside Minho. ,,You can sit there except you want to sit on the lap of one of those shanks., my brother said, obviously joking. ,,Ill think about it, I smiled innocently, before sitting down beside Minho.
He had a jar with a yellowish indefinable liquid in his hands. As I gave him a questioning look, pointing with my chin to the jar, he answered my silent question with:,, Moonshine. Gally made it . No one knows what its made of. Here., he handed me the jar.
As I took a sip, I was confused. I couldnt decide if the whatever it was, was disgusting or delicious. The burning feeling in my throat, I dont know why, but I kind of liked it.
,,Thanks., I said not even thinking about giving the jar back. Minho wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by a few ohhhhs that came from the other gladers, who had formed in a circle around something.
,,Whats going on over there?, I asked. The answer came from a guy, I didnt know:,, Gallys fight circle. That sounded interesting . I stood up, still with the jar in my hand and walked over. As I arrived, a guy with strange eyebrows fought against an other guy, but it was clear that eyebrow-guy was about to win.
Well he did. After he pushed the guy out of the sandy circle, he looked around, probably searching for new victims. Then his gaze locked with mine. ,,Greenie!, he called out. I stepped forward and pushed myself through the crowd. ,,But shes a girl. Youll brake her pretty face., someone complaint. I turned around and said coldly:,, If you dont shut up, Ill brake you things you didnt even know they are bones. I heard from here and there chuckling and a few comments like:,, Feisty one.., but I ignored them.
I was now in the circle. ,,So Greenie You wanna fight? But dont expect me to go easy on you., he told me. I raised my eyebrow at the last comment and countered:,, Did I asked you to, eyebrow He just rolled his eyes. ,, The rules are simple Ill try to push you out of the circle, and you try to last longer than five seconds. Got that? I heard the boys behind me snicker. ,,Before we start, I wanna know your name., I said calmly.
,,Gally. I scrunched my nose. ,,Ill stick with eyebrow. I smiled innocently, knowing how to get angry. ,,Come on. Youll manage to take girl. Right? He just stared in my eyes. ,,Watcha waiting for? Santa? Ok looks like Im a provocative person.
I noticed a movement, and saw Gally storming in my direction, so I quickly stepped aside, which made him almost stumble out of the circle. As he stood straight again, I just smiled at him ,, Thats all you got? Pussy., I muttered the last part, but still loud enough for the others to hear it. The guys around us began to laugh.
Gally got mad. Really mad. He stormed closer and threw a punch right in my face. I simply blocked it. Wait how do I know, how to do shit like this? Well I have other problems now. Like a furious guy, who looked like a pig on cocaine and tried to kill me
Eyebrow threw another fist. I held my arm up and caught his fist. Then I hit him with a round- house kick to the head.(For all the shanks, who dont do Kickboxing google it because Im to lazy to explain it. All you need to now A good round- house to your head hurts fucking bad.) Gally stumbled back.
I noticed that I stood differently. My left leg stood lightly in front of the right one and my hands were cramped into fists and positioned in front of my face. Gally caught himself again and started his next attack. I felt a sharp pain in my face, only seconds after his punch hit its target.. I groaned in pain.
Then a wave of anger spread over my body. My short temper I managed it somehow to ring the boy, who was five inches taller than me, to the ground and ended up sitting on top of him. ,,I like this position., he said. Out of an impulse I punched him, right into his face. Hard. He fell back unconscious.
Silence. All eyes were on me. I stood up, and scanned the crowd. Then I heard someone clapping. Minho. The others began to join and a few chanted my name. The Asian came over to me and asked:,, Damn, Sophie. Where the shuck did you learn to fight like that? ,,I have no clue. ,,Well you should do it more often. It was hot. Is he flirting with me? I mean I dont mind it ,,I know., I winked, before walking over to Newt and my brother.
,,Sophie., Ben said grinning . ,,I dont know if I should be proud or scared., he said. ,, Id be both., Newt said. ,,By the way, I think you should get to know the others., I nodded. The Britt showed me around. I met Clint, Jeff, Zart, Winston, Nick and a few others. ,,Last but not least, meet Frypan., he said. A boy with dark sin and a sympatric smile, looked at me. He stood behind a table with food on it. ,,Hes our Chef cook . ,,Hi. ,,Hello, I smiled. Then I heard my stomach rumbling. I hadnt realised that I hadnt ate anything today.
Without hesitation Fry took a plate, filled it and handed it to me. I like this guy.
Newt and I made our way back to the log where the runners sat. We sat down. I sat again beside Minho and he smiled for a second, before continuing to his conversation with Ben. I just listened the guys for a while, till I got bored.
,,Hey Guys. What do you think of the game Truth or Dare, I asked the boys. Everyone was in.
,,Ok Ben. Truth or Dare? ,I started. ,,Truth., he said. ,,Boring., I said. ,,But anyways Whats the most embarrassing moment you had in here?, I asked grinning mischievously. He blushed before saying:,, I walked in, while two of our fellow Gladers were making out. ,,Who?, Zart asked. I was curious too, but Ben stayed silent.
Ben asked Winston. Winston chose dare, and had to propose to the Person next to him. Alby.
,,Alby., he began ,,We have known us for over five month now and I think we should take our relationship to the next level. Will you marry me. The seriousness, in which he said it, made all of us laughing. Or it was the alcohol that began to kick in.
We played seven more rounds. It got funnier and more personal because everyone was drunk as shuck. My jar was empty again so I stood up and grabbed another one. When I sat down again, somebody said my name.
I looked up and saw one of the builders looking at me, then he asked:,, Truth or dare. ,,Dare., I responded. ,,I dare you to drink this jar in one sip. I gave him the Are- you- serious- thats-not- even- a- challenge –look and drank the whole jar. It burned in my throat, but I still didnt understand why I had to drink the whole jar. Like I said Not much of a Challenge.
But suddenly I began to feel a bit dizzy. Too much alcohol for my little body. I had the feeling that I had to throw up. Great. I am drunk. That was the only clear thought I had, before everything in my mind got blurry.
