Story No.1

Chapter 22: C

Amanda- Goldman Hotel/Cruise

I walk through the heavy metal door to find many weary bodies scattered across the floor. Looks like the outside is a peace space till the next round. I drag Mason and Mable over to a corner next to the boats edge to keep lookout for Jack. No one has said a word since we got to our sitting place. "Er- soo..." Mason sighs breaking the once was silence. "Who was that Hooker dude?" The kid behind us looks at Mason with a quizzical expression and Mason flushed red. "N-NOT THAT KIND OF HOOKER!!" With a startle the kid turns back around and faces his other teammates. "You know... the dude in there.." Mason is now whispering as to not draw anymore attention. "He used to be a very good friend of mine actually- took a new name after he got rejected from his crush." I look over the side of the boat hoping for a glimpse of my brother, but none found yet. "Wow- uh- that's kinda-" Mable interrupts Mason with pure curiosity. "Who did he reject???" Her eyes are so big you could compare her to a kitten. I sigh and look back over to my friends sitting next to me. "I rejected him." Masons jaw drops as Mables face gets all red, clearly enjoying the drama that's about to unfold. "How come you rejected him??" She scotches closer waiting for another answer. "Well, for one I was too young, two, I had my eyes on someone else. But this is hardly relevant to the story." Mable pouts and goes back to her original spot while Mason is bright red. "Shall we get back to the subject at hand? please..?" He turns to look at the boat using his hands to cover his face. Mable leans over and whispers to me, "seems like he's jealous of someone." She winks at me, leaving me frozen in place. "I doubt it." I grind my teeth together revving up a big argument when a loud scream comes from the other boat. KAZ OVER HERE!" Everyone on our side looks over the edge to where the screaming person is. "Thats-!" Mables face lights up with relief and excitement, but before she shouts Mason covers her mouth. "Don't shout you idiot, that would only draw attention." He lets go of her mouth, leaving her clearly heart broken. I couldn't disagree with his decision though. We look over to the area where he's yelling to and we see the girl poking her head out all red. I pull back, already woozy from sea sickness, and run to puke somewhere in a corner. Mables face is dropping and she looks about at her breaking point. Mason brings her towards us in a cleaner area and we decide to take naps resting while one keeps watch.
