Game of the Labyrinth: Rebellion

Chapter 9: Bryson

I started using more and more glader slang as I spent more time with some of the guys. I spent quite a lot of time with Newt so some of his vocabulary rubbed off on me. I'm starting to get worried about Brenda she told me she wasn't immune and disappeared I know she's at camp but she's isolated herself. It's odd for Brenda, but she's going through something really hard to comprehend.
To be completely honest I think she already has it which is a horrible thought but entirely possible, Brenda has been exposed to many forms of the flare she was a scientist before this she told me her and her brother Jorge worked with her sometimes. I've become distant from all the others, Oriel, Steph and Michael, I really don't even know where they are.

I walk around camp trying to find Steph she'll know what's going on she always does. I step towards her tent and say "knock knock," but the voice who answers isn't Steph's, it's Micheal's he's sitting in the tent eyes closed. "Oh uh, hey man sorry I was looking for Steph, do you know where she is?" I ask scratching the back of my neck.

Michael's eyes shot open, "She going after Oriel" he says bluntly and obviously annoyed.

I'm shock "what the hell are you doing then!?Go after her!" I shout.

"She lied to me!" He yells "she told me she loved me and lied right to my face!" He continues anger flaring in his eyes

"What you guys have together is great you know that? You both love each other!" I holler "but Oriel and Steph are close, closer then you and her will ever be, why? Because they're best friends they've been through thick and thin together, you met her only weeks ago! Yes maybe love at sight for you two but Steph going after Oriel is love —passionate love— and if you can't get that through your thick head then Steph can do way better!" I breath and storm out of the tent leaving Michael is utter horror.
