Complicated

Chapter 54: Drama Lamas

Complete silence filled the room, after Minho's wild statement, as if the world had been frozen, and every member of the Council stared at Minho, even the Gladers behind were stunned into silence.

Thomas and I sat stunned, waiting for Minho to say he'd been kidding. The silence dragged on. Gally's eyes flicked to me and stared so intensely it was like he was trying to read my mind and see if I was lying and in on this. But I was just as shocked as everyone else.

"That's ridiculous!" Gally finally growled.

There was instant chaos. Some guys were against it some were for it and some had other opinions all together. Minho was sitting, leaning back on his chair, arms folded tight. His jaw clenched and his eyes narrowed.

Newt was storming up and down the chairs, yelling at Keepers to sit down and shut up.

I leaned over to Minho, "Well, you drama lama, you definitely caused a scene!"

He just gave me a small smug smirk. 

What is going on?

No idea.

Well you're helpful. 

I felt him huff, and I actually saw him fold his arms, like he was pouting. I snickered, and leaned over towards him, to whisper.

"Look, I have no idea what's going on either. This is a first for me!"

"What is?" He looked at me shocked.

"Are you shucken serious Tommy? Did you just ask that question?"

"You don't need to be so mean." He pouted again.

I rolled my eyes, "Come on man, but those few brain cells together and work with me here!"

"Jeeze! No wonder they call you Snips." 

"Because I'm honest and you can't handle the truth and it hurts you? Here have a band aid."

"No, I was gong to say your sunny disposition and warm welcoming personality, and your kind gentle words."

I snorted and started giggling. I felt eyes drilling into me, I turned my head and saw Gally on the other side of the room, sitting stiff, arms crossed, every muscle was tense and flexed. His eyes flickering back and forth between Thomas and me. I sighed and sat up straight, and glared right back at him. We were having an intense staring contest now. His intense eyes held me in place. My heart rate was picking up, and I bit my bottom lip. 

Shuck this tension was thick, I kinda wanted to break it and go kiss him. His eyes darkened just for a second and I saw them flick down to my mouth and then back to my eyes. My stomach flipped when I thought back not too long ago...his body pressing me up against the wall, making me feel all the feelings...

You paying attention?

Huh?

Charlie pay attention.

I don't want to. I was day dreaming and you ruined it.

Was it important?

Oh shuck ya it was...I was reliving passionate bathroom sex.

THE ACTUAL HELL? Please do not tell me that's what it was! Oh shuck Charlie, EWW! 

I mentally laughed at him. I could feel him shuddering, but I was now back to the present, I still had my eyes glued to Gally. 

 "...I've never seen so many shanks acting like a bunch of babies. We may not look it, but around these parts we're adults. Act like it, or we'll disband this bloody Council and start from scratch." Newt walked from end to end of the curved row of sitting Keepers, looking each of them in the eye as he spoke. "Are we clear?"
