WHICH ONE?

CHAPTER 5 - What'd they get you for?

The two snickers with sleek black packaging laid in the palm of my hand waiting around to be taken by other hands. All of their eyes widened in excitement as they eyed the snickers in my hand. They all look as if they have never in their lives eaten a candy, a chocolate or anything sweet. It's a priceless look if you ask me! I would laugh, but- I thought, screw that. I started to chuckle at their faces that clearly craved the two mini chocolates.

X-Ray stepped forward and held out his hand, "I'll take em."

"Both?" My right eyebrow shot up as a slight smirk came over my face.

The other boys started to walk closer and started to ask for them.
"I'll take one." A voice stood out from all five of them. I looked around to see that the statement belonged to the voice of Zigzag. That's the first flipping thing I've heard from him. Yet no apology? Gee.

"Gee, I'd love to hand you one but you never apologised for bumping into me?" I faked a confused face which made the other boys laugh.

"Apologise? You stood in the entryway of the tent?"
"You're trying to blame me?" I took a step closer to him as I slightly tilted my head to the right as my smirk lowered to a low smile.

He stayed quiet, his body visibly tensing up slightly but he didn't dare take a step forward or backward. He stood his ground.

"Maybe." He eventually answered, his wide eyes lowering a bit.

I nodded before turning around asking, "You remember the dude I just asked you about, he gave me these. Do you guys think he would've done anything to them?"

All of their smiles that were sneered across their faces dropped before confusion rushed in. Huhs and Whats spread across the room.
"D'you still want them?" I laughed at their now cautious faces.

"I'll take one." Zigzag repeated, in the same stance he was in a second ago. This time around, we all turned to him, looking at him with an even more surprised face. Gosh this guy had guts. Makes him more cute- 'Snap out of it Selene!' I told my brain.

"M'kay." I started to hand one to him before X-Ray, who was behind me, answered, "I want the other." With that, I handed him the other. Now that's what I call business.

A loud noise rang from outside causing me to jump a little.
"What's wrong girl? Never heard a bell?" Armpit playfully spoke, making everyone laugh, me laughing a little too. But seriously, how was I supposed to know that was even a bell?
I followed behind Magnet as he walked out with the rest of the group.
Along the way, many people did a double take to me as they saw me walking with 'D Tent,' X-Ray leading us, while eating his snicker.

I side glanced at Zigzag who walked beside me while eating his snicker too. I guess he felt me looking as his eyes moved to mine, making me quickly look forward. He continued to look at me in silence before looking forward once again.

As we entered the 'MESS HALL', silence poured over the room like a tipped cup of milk. It was weird that there could be so many boys in one area. It kinda makes my head spin, ache even.

Some cat-calling sprung to life, along with a hint of wolf whistling. I heard a guy from one of the wooden tables which looked a decade old and like they would collapse any second, speak in a shouty tone so I could just about hear it, "If there isn't a seat for you, you can sit here on my lap."

I cringed at the strange dude's comment before carrying on walking with D Tent. What was funny was that, even though X-Ray was far from the tallest in the whole of D tent, he was somehow the 'leader'. I won't dare to question it because I'm new after all. 'Newbie', was what Armpit called me.
