The Enemy

Chapter 5

i step off of my bed and open the door slightly, seeing newt stood in just a tank top and shorts. "we're playing games tonight, without alby, etc. you wanna join?"
i grin, shaking my head.

i open the door fully, following newt, who lead me to the left hand corner of the glade, far from the huts and bunks.

there was a small fire lit with minho, gally, thomas, frypan, etc sat around whispering to each other. "i brought ella." newt conveyed.

gally groaned, folding his arms like a child. "a girl playing?"
i pull a disgusted look to him. "what's that supposed to mean?"

newt changed the subject and pulled me to sit down between him and minho. "let's start with truth or dare." newt interrupted any discussion, lightening the mood.
"alright. truth or dare minho." gally spoke.

i knew that he was going to play dirty if minho said dare.

"dare."

oh.

gally had a devious smirk on his lips, he lent forward, whispering the dare in his ears, i could just make out what he said. "i dare you to strip naked and run 3 laps around the glade."

i look over to minho, his face was shocked. he obviously didn't want to do it but a dare is a dare. he sighs, removing his shirt. then his trousers. newt and the rest gasped. "what are you doing?!"

everybody leered and laughed at him before he removed his boxers and quickly ran away.
gally stood up chanting his name and clapping his hands. i held my mouth to contain my laughter.

after he finished with his 3 laps he returned in a hurry, grabbing his clothes and getting dressed back up. everyone just laughed. "shut up." he spoke flustered.
"my turn then. ella."
minho turned to me.

i remove my hand from my mouth, shocked he chose me. he leaned into my ears, whispering. "i dare you to kiss the hottest glader here."

as he pulls away from my ear i shook my head. "i can't do that." minho shrugged. "you have to or do what i did."

i exhaled in disgrace and disgust. i comply with the dare, standing up and looking my way around the circle. what bad could kissing the new greenie do?

i knelt down to thomas' knees, moving my head close to him. i close my eyes, pecking a kiss against his lips. he almost fell back in shock but sunk into the kiss. his soft lips quivered as he's never felt a girls touch let alone a kiss before.

i pull first from the kiss and return to my seat. everybody glared at me either in shock or jealousy. "what?" i query innocently.

the sky had started to get brighter after a couple of truth or dares that has humbled us all and lastly it was my turn.
gally's eyes turned to mine. he is ahoy to humble the shit out of me. "ella. truth or dare?"

i exhales, blowing raspberries. "dare."

"i dare you to fight me. no rules." his sly smirk made everybody in the circle scared for my life.

i accept the dare, standing a few feet from him. my steps were smooth as his was jagged. my smile to myself. he has fear in his movements. his fists clenched close to his face. i still kept my hands to my side, but still keeping a distance so i could bring them up quickly.

gally crouched slightly, he leant forward, charging towards me. i dodged him, elbowing his back, he falls onto his stomach with a groan. the crowd grew from the other gladers as the fight was visible. "that's enough!" alby screamed from the crowd.

despite being told off i continued with the fight. i lunge towards him as he tried to stand up, jumping onto his shoulders and wrapping my legs around his neck. his grip was tight but not as tight as mine.

i take a backflip with him still clenched between my thighs, he lands onto the hard ground still on his back. "fuck." he muttered under his breath.

he grabs my leg and grabs my throat, holding me tightly above his eye length. i begin to choke for a few moments before i lift my right leg up to his stomach, kicking it then landing a last punch to his face. he taps out by crawling out of the circle.

everyone cheers for around whilst alby stood there with a death face, he approached me. "you know i like you right, ella? but you're new and our main rule is to never hurt another glader!"

i move my arms with my words, speaking out of breath. "we were just play fighting! i never actually wanted to hurt him and vice versa."

gally scoffed, laying on his arms with a bloody nose and lip. "didn't seem like it."
"shut up gally!" i groan.

alby grabbed my arm, leading me away from the crowd. "i don't really want to do this but it's the rules ella." he opens a wooden door throwing me into the hole and locking it.

i groan loudly, kicking the dirt beneath me.

gally is such a dick.

minho approached the wooden door, leaning down to start chuckling at me. i fall away from him, furious. "i'm glad you're finding my suffering amusing."

he clicks his tongue and shrugs, trying hard to not burst out with laughter. "everyone is. you absolutely beat the shit out of gally. how did you even learn that?"

i turn facing him and sit feet away from him. i ignore his question and start to play with the sticks beneath me.
he changed the subject. "why did you kiss thomas?"

i'd rather answer the other question to be honest.
