“You do understand that I would never like her, right?” Alex asked. I nodded and smiled at him. He probably likes walking by me while holding my hand more than following me from behind, I laughed inside my head.
We kept walking in a random direction outside of camp. When it started getting dark, I dropped his hand and took out my poetry book.
“That cover looks familiar,” Alex commented. He thought for a moment as I took out a pen. “Oh yeah, it was on Conner’s face two days ago,” Alex remembered. “Did you slap him with the book?”
I smirked, glad that people think that I had slapped Conner with my book. I then shook my head and pressed my hand to the book. My hand had the imprint of the music note and I showed Alex. He nodded, “Nice one.”
I took a mockery bow. My book was open to the next blank page.
Day Nine
I promise that I will not
Admit to my mother.
I am done with
Getting her favor.
Without the powers
Will I get much farther?
As long as I have friends
And we are together.
“There isn’t much that we can do, so why don’t you sleep and I’ll keep first watch,” Alex offered. I couldn’t take first watch because I wouldn’t be able to speak or yell at all. It made sense so I took the offer by nodding.
I lifted my hand and was about to make a flower bed, but then remembered what Gaea told me. I was not going to take any more of her favors in my life. Instead, I just slept on the dirt. This is going to be a lot harder than I thought it would.
