I push my way through the boys and see Gally pushing a boy out of the circle.

"Who's next?" Gally asks.

"Me!" I shout.

Suddenly someone grabs my arm.

Its Newt.

"Be careful ok" he whispers into my ear.

"Don't worry Newty Patootie i got this" I say winking at him.

He smiles.

I step into the circle.

"Greenie? You know just because your a girl doesn't mean i will go easy" Gally says pushing up his sleeves.

"I was hoping you'd say that eye brow boy" I say with a smirk.

He laughs, but then quickly runs to attack me.

I step to the side and he falls down.

Everyone is cheering.

He gets up and brushes of his pants.

He throws a punch at me but i grab his arm and flip him.

Everyone cheers.

"Ughh" Gally grunts.

"I'm not done yet Gal" I say in his face.

He raises an eyebrow and then kicks my leg so i fall on my face.

"CALI" someone shouts.

I get up and brush myself off.

"I see your eye brow game is strong"

He bursts out laughing.

"I-i'm sorry i can't fight Cali anymore. She's going to kill me with laughter." Gally says trying to catch his breath.

I laugh.

"I had you. I was going to win" I say.

"You already did" He said fist bumping me and pulling me into a side hug.

Everyone cheers and chants my name.

Everyone in the glade is sitting in a circle around the bonfire, and only small talk was made.

"ANYONE WANNA SPICE THIS BONFIRE UP?" Alby shouts.

"CALI CAN SING" Thomas shouts.

"Slinthead" I say elbowing him in the chest.

"CALI, CALI, CALI" Gally starts.

"Eye brow boy don't" I say.

But then everyone joins in.

I whistle to shut everyone up.

"FINE" I say getting up.

"WAIT" Newt says running off.

He comes back with a boom box and a bunch of CDs.

"Here" he says smiling,"pick a song"

I smile at him.

I look through the songs and find the one.
