chapter two /unspoken words
IT WASN'T until after celebrating their arrival on the ground when Milena suggested that she and Rachel went to find Jasper and Monty. And to mainly ask about that plant. They quickly found Jasper, wearing his infamous goggles on his head and a shirt that had the words Earth Day 2052 printed on it, messing around with Monty, his best friend.
As Milena asked Monty about that plant, to which he instead just told her that he would help her find it, Rachel stood awkwardly. She didn't know what to say to anyone who only knew the one memorable thing about her. "You're Rachel Slater, right?"
Rachel looked up from the ground and seen Jasper looking at her. She stared at him for a second, not really comprehending what he said, but then she just quickly nodded. "Uh, yeah. The one and only." She gave him a short smile with a sarcastic tone.
"I've heard some pretty cool things about you." Jasper smiled but then when realized, his smile quickly dropped. "Not that kind of stuff— uhm, Milena always talked about you before she got arrested too. Me, Monty, and her have had our fair share of breaking into Farm Station to get goods, if you know what I mean."
Rachel nodded and a genuine grin formed on her lips. "Yeah. Yeah, I get it. That sounds like something she would do if I wasn't with her."
Before Jasper could continue their conversation, Monty and Milena ended theirs so they turned back to the two. "Who wants to take a walk?" The brown-haired girl asked the three.
Jasper and Monty quickly agreed to the idea as Rachel hesitated, but soon agreed as well. She didn't want to be the odd one out anymore.
Rachel, Milena, Jasper, and Monty walked through the forest that the dropship landed in. There were many kids around talking in groups, messing around, and just enjoying their time on Earth. As the four continued to walk, they made it back to the dropship, where Clarke and Wells stood by the ramp. Jasper whispered something to Monty, that Rachel couldn't make out, before walking over to them.
"Ah, cool, a map." Jasper commented as he walked behind the two standing right beside the dropship door. Rachel stood a couple steps behind him with her arms crossed, Milena and Monty stayed by her. She could see Wells clench his jaw as Jasper looked at Clarke. "They got a bar in this town? I'll buy you a beer."
Wells then faced the boy with the goggles and backed him up. "You mind?" He stared at Jasper, holding his arm to keep him away from Clarke.
