Prisoner 138 In Mount Weather {The 100} [2]

Chapter 3: Forest Green

My heart sank as I slowly turned to the two boys I called my friends.

"Ari, are you going to introduce us?" Monty asks, smiling at me.

"Ari, are you going to introduce us?" Monty asked, smiling at me.

Shaking my head I said, "No." Making them all look offended. Rolling my eyes, I sighed and gave in, not wanting to seem rude. "Fine, Jasper, Monty, this is Caleb. Caleb, this is Jasper and Monty. There, we all know each other now you can leave." I closed my book and turned to Jasper.

Tilting his head slightly, Jasper didn't give any signs of leaving. "Well, I think I would like to sit here for a little while and get to know Caleb some more. Monty, would you like to stay here and hang out a little bit?" Jasper asks. 

"You know what Jasper, I would love to stay for a little while." Monty smiles back.

With a groan, I dropped my head to my hands, internally screaming as they did everything in their power to embarrass me.

"So Jasper, I was wondering..." Monty trailed off. "Do you remember that time you killed that grounder?" Monty asked.

Jasper's eyes lit up. "Oh yeah, of course, I do. You know Monty, I remember I shot that grounder from over 100 feet away. I don't want to brag or anything but, I would say I'm a pretty good shot." Jasper was trying to intimidate Caleb. Failing miserably.

Peeking through my finger, I looked at the boy who was doing everything he could to hold back a laugh.

"We shouldn't bore Ari with our boy talk though." Jasper waved his hand. "What was it you wanted us to talk about last night?"

Monty nodded. "Yeah, something about girl talk?"

Instantly my face reddened with anger as I glared at the boy. Torturing them in my mind.

Caleb collected his books and stood up from his chair. "Uh, I should be going, Ari. Maybe I could come by the dorm later and we could finish the homework," he suggested.

I opened my mouth to speak but Jasper quickly cut me off. "We'll see if she's available."

Caleb gave Jasper a nod. "Well it was very nice meeting you both and I hope to talk more soon. Goodbye, Ari."

"Goodbye, Caleb." Jasper and Monty said in unison, waving as he practically ran away from the table.

"Caleb, wait," I called after him but it was too late.

"So Ari, want to play some Go Fish?" Jasper asked, pulling out a deck of cards, and holding them up.

I glared at him. "Are you two proud of yourselves?" I spat, collecting my things before storming out of the room, chasing after Caleb. I was able to catch up to him down the hall. "Caleb, wait." He turned to me. "Look, I'm sorry about them...they can be kind of..."

"Protective?" Caleb chuckled.

"Yeah. It's just, we've been through a lot, I've been through a lot and they just want to make sure I'm okay. They may have a weird way of showing it but they do care."

"Well, that's clear to see. He's just doing his brotherly duties. I get it."

"Brotherly duties?" I realized he was talking about Jasper and nodded. I didn't care to correct him this time, I didn't feel the need to. "Yeah...that's just Jasper. But again I'm sorry for them."

"Ah don't worry about it." He smiled down at me. "So that homework though?"

"Right, well you can come back to the dorm, Jasper and Monty will be busy playing Go Fish and won't bother us again."
