Light filtered through the blinds over the windows of the Big House. Neve rolled over, blinding herself temporarily.
"Ouch," she grumbled, propping herself up with one arm.
"Hi." The Asian boy was right in her face.
"Holy shit." Neve leaned backwards, her fingers brushing against her gun. The Asian boy grinned, glancing nervously at her belt, where the gun was positioned.
"I'm Kai. You're Neve, right?"
"Yes, now if you could please get out of my face..."
The boy sat straight up, laughing nervously. "Can you... put down your gun? Anyway have you seen Marco?"
"Who's Marco?" Neve replied, slightly taken aback for a moment.
"The guy that attacked you with paint."
"Oh right. That idiot." Neve muttered, sitting up straight on the couch. She took her hand away from her gun. Noticing that, the boy, Kai, sat next to her.
"Well, I can't find him."
"What a shame." Neve said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. Kai raised one eyebrow.
"Or Wren," he said, scratching his head.
"Really? The only one I genuinely liked?" Neve muttered.
"I am hurt." Kai said, putting a hand over his heart.
"We met like two seconds ago." Neve brought her legs up on to the couch and crossed them, leaning backwards to rest her head.
"I'm going to go look for them, you can help if you want." Kai said, standing up and walking over to the doorway.
"You just abruptly woke me up, does it look like I want to move?" Neve asked, giving him a warning look.
"No." Kai grinned, pushing his black bangs away from his face. He left the room.
Well... That wasn't so bad, Neve thought. Maybe she would make some friends on this quest. She cuddled back into the couch, closing her eyes. Maybe she could get at least a little bit more sleep before the afternoon, without being interrupted by a crazy Asian boy.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" The voice she had heard minutes ago, yet shriller this time, shouted from out in the hall. Neve groaned, grabbing one of the couch pillows and pressing it over her ears. "No..." she mumbled, shutting her eyes tight. "Shut up..."
It turns out she was wrong. Her sleep would keep getting interrupted, again, and again, and again.
