CHAPTER 4

Morning came across the glade. The Glade- The name just kind of stuck after a day, since that was exactly what this looked like; It's what everyone around here calls this place now. I stood at an empty grassy area, taking in the breeze and staring up at the sunset. Another meeting was going to take place today; one to decide jobs, rations, etc. For one, I definitley don't want a boring job. I'd prefer a more adventurous, daring job. I smiled to myself at the thought; Pft- like they'd let a girl do something like that. Sexist pigs. Of course I was kidding; I found myself doing a lot of that nowadays, but I am the only girl here; They're probably all drooling over me. I grinned, but what remained a mystery was still a mystery. In fact, it still confused me that I was the only girl around, but oh well.

I breathed, smiling up at the veiw when I felt a hand rest on my shoulder.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" I felt Newt's breath tickle my neck. Startled, I turned around to see his green eyes looking down at me. He chuckled and flashed me a playful smile.

"Very funny" I replied "Try that again and we'll see if you'll still have 10 fingers" I countered, giggling, as I took out a knife I had tied to the back of my lower waist and pointed it at him.

"Whoa, whoa there, Cari" He smiled as he let go of my shoulder and took a step back.

"C-Cari..?" I asked, surprised by the sudden nickname. I felt like a tomato right now. My face was burning so hot I wanted to shove icecubes in my brain.

"O-Oh.. sorry" He replied, scratching the back of his head. "It just came out of nowhere-"

I cut him off by throwing my arms up and wrapping them around his neck, clearly playing around. I had snapped out of my daze, but I purposely did this to get back at him for making me blush. His face burned bright red and he bit his lip, looking away.

"Well, if we're doing nicknames.." I smirked as I let go of him, a devious grin stretching across my face. "then yours is ew" I finished my senstence, ginning widely at him.

 At that, he started laughing. "Well, that I am" He winked as we started walking towards the meeting place.

God, he was gorgeous.
