The Nest

SIX

I wake up and feel cozy warm blankets around me, I reach out to my clock to realise it wasnt all a dream and im not in my bed im in my sleeping bag on my bed matt in an old car.

Last night floods back to me, the dancing tangleing myself in Sevens arms....wait what...oh yeah and then he brought me back here and it was all over. 

Funny how I really enjoyed myself for the first time in ages its kinda like camp I geuss. A bunch of teenagers sitting round a campfire drinking home made alchahole and smoking manuka leaves.

-----------------------------------------

I drag myself out of bed and stretch up to the sky feeling my back click satisfyingly.

I head to the stream and scoop up a pot of water and sit it on my fore pit and get the fire going.

Once its boiled I pull my hair back into a lose bun and dip my cloth into the pot and scrub my face washing away muck and spores.

I start to brush my long hair over my shoulder pieces of gold and brunette falling to the ground. I go to my car im about to take my top off and put on my sports bra and t-shirt when I hear someone clear there throat.

I spin around immediately to find Seven standing there in the same pants as yesterday but he's wearing a top today. Damit.

"ah sorry Jay....just ah wanted to see how stuff is and uh show you the morning....morning rutine I geuss", he manages to say.

"Yeah cool lemme just get dressed real quick", I say.

"Yeah sure ahh yeah ill be over by my hut...cool", he says and leaves.

Huh hes so adorable when he stutters. wait what. My mind is confusing me I think ill just hurry up and get my bra on.

-----------------------------------

I walk over too sevens hut area where a peice of tin shed is supported by a few bits of Rimu wood and sheets of plastic wuth flax mats on the ground.

"Sup Jay", seven says as I come in.
"Yo yo", I reply

"So are you ready to do some work?",
"Ahh yup I hope so", I reply to him and then he chucks me a piece of beef jerkey. " heres a snack because you get pretty hungry working sometimes you gotta refule", he laughs.

The beef jerkey looks nice and fits perfectly into my shirt zip pocket. "Thankyou", I say our eyes locking for a few seconds.

------------------------------------------

"Bye Jay have a good time in the feilds you should drop by at mine afterwards if im not out hunting aye",
"Yup goodluck ", I say and turn to my new work buddy.

"So ahhh... I'm Jay an-", I start "mmhhm got it Jay,  im cody and what ill get you to do today is some weeding around the carrot and potato plants", he rumbles.

"Okay sure", I say. He doesnt say anything els but starts doing something at the cabbage patch he seems kinda stubborn.

"So I just you know umm pick the weeds out and chuck them in a bucket or something???", I ask I dont want to get anything wrong you know. "YES", He simply says then turns back to his cabbages.

Okay seems like a jerk but I wont dwell on it ill try atleast.

Im picking at the weeds and I accidentally pick a baby carrot "shit!", I say and moments later cody is at me like a wolf "what did you mess up", he barks. Ah crap "umm no nothing I ah just whacked myself with the spade", I quickly say. "Jesus. What are you even doing with a bloody spade when your ment to be weeding. Urgh freshmeat ", he says.

I continue working and pinder on what cody said 'freshmeat' hu probly like freshmen the term they use in America when theres year nines starting high school I dont even know.

The day is getting hotter and I swear the weeds are growing just as fast as I pick them. My tummy rumbles and then I remember I have that beef jerkey. I chew on a little bit, actually its deer jerkey well thats what my taste buds think and its damn good.

Finally it feels about 5pm and cody releases me. "Ah goodjob heres your pay today see you round or maby back here if you chose feild work", and he passes me a plump tomatoe two small potatoes and one bronze coin with a falcon bent into it huh I wonder if thats like the money here.

"Thankyou", I say and walk out shutting the feilds gate behind me.  I wonder if ill have any better work experiences or whatever. Well Seven explained that I need to try all the jobs around the place and see where I fit in thats what the others did too.

Ahh Seven with his dimples that only show when hes truley happy and his kindness that makes no one can resist being around.

I can see his hut and it looks like he's home, his window or lack of window that is on the north side where the sun shines in is open.

I walk past to peep in. I hear another voice. Thats no Seven.  Its a girl.

A girl.

Why am I worrying why should I care hes not my property gee get your act together Lana. Lana. That name seems tomake my eyes water.

I can see Seven in there with her they are laughing about something sitting on the floor cutting up meet. Of course they are he must have caught an animal and she probably hunts too. Urgh she looks so badass with her black hair messy and half tied back, she has a pigs tuck tooth hanging round her neck and deer antler beeds around her rist along with some othe leather bracelets.
She has bad clothes but they look cool on her she totally rock the possum skincrop top tight around her waist she even has a slight bit of abbs.

Im wearing my real clothes and I feel so in the wrong place like im standing out.

Urgh why am I comparing myselfe to a hot as hunter chick because im not gonna win either way.

I decide to not drop off to Sevens because hes too busy for me. God I sound pathetic. I am.

I carry my bundel to the main area by a small stage and a sundial its only 3.30 wow all the working made the day feel massive.

As I walk past a few huts with stalls outside them I trip a little on a tree root or maybe its just my emotions from everything and just being here and my super speed walking trying to burn away frustration.

As I fall dropping my tomato and potatoes and my coin stays in my tight griping fist wich I land on cracking my knuckles slightly and then tumbleing over.

"Oh are you alright hun", says a girl she looks about 19. Shes wearing a long purple patchwork skirt and a crop top made of wool that was hand knitted its nit bad but you can tell it wasnt bought at a shop and fluffy sleeve gloves made of possum skin.

She reached up and gets a leather bag off a hook from her stall and gathers up the potatoes, I turn to find my tomato completely mushed uner my knee. "Here you can have this bag so next time you wont fall over with all that stuff", she says in a stoft voice. "Thankyou so much",I say as she pulls me up.
