It's A Shucking Girl

Chapter 2: Would you like me to carry you down the stairs Princess?

"Eat up greenie," a hairy guy I guess is Frypan says handing me a bowl of what looks like soup. I follow Newt over to a table and we sit down. I immediately start eating. I didn't realize how hungry I was until now.

"Aren't you going to ask me like a million questions like every other greenie?" Newt asks scooping some soup into his mouth.

"I already told you, my name is Vanessa and I am 16 so stop calling me greenie," I shoot him a glare but can't hold it because of his adorable face.

"Feisty aren't you greenie. It's actually a thing we do around here when we get new people. We call them greenie for one whole day while they try to remember their name. So it's just a habit, sorry." Newt looks genuinely sorry. I kinda feel bad for snapping at him.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know. Hey thanks for bringing me to get food, I was starving," I say trying to lighten the mood. Newt chuckles and we continue eating.

"This is the only day you're ever going to be allowed seconds so if I were you, I'd go get seconds." Newt says giving me a look that says I probably better listen.

Right as I'm about to get up, that Thomas kid and Minho walk over and sit down with us; Thomas sits next to Newt across from me and Minho.

"Hey Vanessa, how're you holding up? Bombarding Newt with questions yet?" Minho says smirking at me.

God damn, that smirk.

"Actually, no I haven't. I just kinda want to go with the flow," I say getting up to get more soup. "I'll be right back, gotta get my seconds while I can." Before I turn to walk away I wink at Minho which makes him smirk at me again.

I'm standing in line waiting for my turn and a guy comes up behind me and grabs my ass. With reflexes I didn't know I had, I turn around and slap the guy.

"Hmmm a greenie with a little fight in her, I like that," he says going to grab my ass again.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on me, or I swear I'll kill you in your sleep." I hand my bowl to Frypan who smiles and happily gives me seconds.

I get back over to the table and sit down. I look at my food, suddenly not hungry anymore. Newt reaches across the table and lifts my chin up to look at him,

"Hey, don't let Gally get to you. He's a jerk to everyone." I smack Newt's hand away and give him a dirty stare.

"Are you telling me that you saw what happened and didn't care to come over and help? What kind of guy are you? You know what? You guys can split my food I'm not hungry anymore." I stand up and walk away left with myself and my thoughts.

I'm trapped inside of something, with a bunch of teenage guys and I'm the only girl. Great, so now I'm just a toy to them all. Something to pass around and get their share all because I'm the only girl.

I hear someone run up next to me and I think it's Newt, coming to apologize. I look to my side and see that Minho has followed me.

"You here to take advantage of me to?" I say folding my arms over my chest and walking faster.

"No, I came to tell you that I didn't see what happened, I was sitting on the side where I couldn't see you, but if you'd like me to beat up Gally for you, I gladly will. I hate his guts." Minho says grabbing my arm to stop me from walking. He looks into my eyes and I can sense the familiarity in my head. I know him, I know I do.

"Thank you Minho, that means a lot to me," I say putting my hand on top of his. He looks down at our hands and smiles faintly.

And then I get a sudden head ache and fall to the ground. Everything goes black.
