Thana in the Jurassics

Chapter 11

Today was the day it marks where we've been here for 5 months and 10 days.

Me and Salem were hanging out on the porch when Thalia came to tell us that Levi had something to show us. So we all got up.

We followed behind her and went over to this gate that was out of use. When we got there the others were already waiting. I turned red when I saw Archie. I stood next to Salem and Thalia, far away from Archie.

Levi then came forward with a huge smile on his face. "You guys won't believe what I found!" He exclaimed. He then pulled out a box and pulled out 4 grenades.

"OMG!" Salem yelled, "LEVI ARE YOU INSANE." the others backed up.

"Where did you find those?!" Thalia yelped. "He found them out in some abandoned neighborhood miles from here." He explained.

"Are they active?" Jett questioned. "Let's find out." He pulls one of them out of the box, before he throws it, he looks at us, signaling to back up.

We didn't hesitate to back up. He then aims for one of the ponds, pulling the tag and throwing it in the water.

The water then explodes blowing the water 100 ft into the air. We all gasped. He just turned back with a dumbfounded face.

"....Ok....I'm gonna keep these in the box and use these for emergencies only....." He wraps them up in a rag, puts them back in the box and back in his pack.

After being surprised with Levi's huge discovery, I was going to go for a walk with Salem and Thalia, but I changed my mind and just wanted to get some rest before dinner.

I began mini hike back to the house as watched the sky turn pink to purple.
Just then, I'm stopped by a familiar voice calling my name. I turn around to see it was Archie. I tried to move along quickly, since I was still avoiding him. I heard him calling my name multiple times but I kept walking faster but he stopped me in my tracks. "Hey!" He finally caught me and put me up against a wall. "What?" I responded.

"Did you still want to go huntin' later?" he asked me.

Crap, I forgot about that.

"Um, yea that should be fine." I agreed.
He smiled "Ok, I wanted to show you something anyway, I'll see you tonight!" He ran off.

I continued on with my walk back and eventually made it back. I went up the steps and entered. I walked past the kitchen to my room, laying my bag on my bed and waiting for Salem and Levi to come back so we could head for dinner.

An hour later after sunset and I heard the door shut.

"Hello!" I hear Salem greet me from the other room.

The duo along with Jett came into the room with their bags and dropped it on their beds. "Hey." I yawned and flipped over.

"Someone's tired." Jett murmured. I feel Salem walk up and sit on my bed next to me. "Are you alright Thana? You've been acting off lately." Salem commented.

"What? What would make you think that?" I flipped over and stared at her puzzled.

"Well, everytime Archie comes around, you seem to vanish or begin acting like a weirdo."

"No I haven't!" I snap at her. "I dunno, you're being a bit defensive." Levi points out. "I'm not! I just don't get why i'm being told, that i'm acting weird, when I haven't been." I snarl at Levi.

"You're literally doing it right now!" He growls.
"Ok that's enough." Salem intervenes.

Salem sighs and looks at me. "Thana..I need you to be honest with me, and I mean it this time." She starts. I feel my face turning red. "...Do you like Archie?"

I sit there quietly as I look at the three of them. I feel my face becoming really hot.

"No way." Levi chuckles a bit. "You like Archie!" He laughs out loud. "Levi!" Salem defends me. "It's not funny!" She growls at him.

I see Jett's face turn to curiosity.
Levi backs up with his hands in the air. Salem then turns back around to me, "...Thana?" Salem waits for me to respond.

I sigh and look up at her in defeat. "Ok fine." I sigh. I hear her squeal in happiness.

"Yes you got me." I sigh. She stops and calms down. "Does he know?" I questioned Jett. "..No." He answered.

"You want me to tell him?-" Jett offered before I cut him off. "NO!" I panicked. "Alright, I won't-" He stepped back again.

"Please don't tell anyone." I begged them. "We swear." They promised. I smiled as Salem hugged me.

We then hear a growl, it was Levi's stomach. "I hate to ruin your special moment, but can we go to dinner? I'm starving." Levi grabbed his stomach. We both giggled and all left to go to dinner.

We all trotted down the stairs and headed for food. Levi and Salem skipped along out of excitement for me. I just quietly walk by myself. Jett then walks up to me. "Well damn, I wasn't expecting to hear that today." He laughs. I stare at him. He sighs. "You won't tell him or Thalia right?" I whimper. "I gotchu." He holds his fist up for a fist pump.

We continue walking, "Do you know if he likes anyone?" I asked.
"I'm not sure, we don't really talk about girls that much. But I think he mentioned something about being interested in someone, but he didn't know if they felt the same." He explained.

"Do you know who it was?" I asked. "No, I think I asked him but he wouldn't tell me. I found that kinda weird. He normally tells me stuff, but this is the first he's not told me anything before." He finished.

We both just shrugged it off and continued walking. That is weird. Why would Archie tell his bestfriend who he likes?
