shrieks erupted everywhere as we saw three newcomers who seemed as if they were normal, cross our streets with backpacks filled with unknown items that i'm surprisingly afraid of.
wait was that-
"hey you!" i yelled out, my feet quickly moving to make my way towards the boy i had saw last night.
"what are you doing here?" i demanded, the boys eyes widening in surprise at the sight of me but soon filling with joy for whatever reason. the people who questioned their morals as well, began to surround me as i crossed my arms, impatiently waiting for his answer.
"i came here to apologize, i felt really bad for the way i treated you the other night." he told me, he seemed sincere and i felt tingles erupt in me and my eyes softened but i couldn't let anyone know that. i would never show my weakness to anyone, not anymore cause that seemed to get me no where.
"i was in a bad mood, cause over on that side we're forced to marry and breed children after the age of eighteen, and i'm seventeen going on eighteen. i took my anger out on you, and i deserved the reaction you had towards me after my ignorant actions." he finished off his apology but the people who surrounded me, who didn't even know the whole story, didn't seem to be having it. so, i lowly sighed before announcing our rules to him.
"oh fool, over here we don't do apologies. it's not as easy as you think. we may not be as book smart as you privileged people, but we are extremely street smart." i smirked, pushing my hair out of my face to show him the look of determination and mischief on my face.
"what do i have to do to show my sincerity?" he sighed as he frustratedly ran his fingers through his curls. my god, he really was a beaut.
"i didn't even wanna come here so, i shouldn't have to deal with this." the other boy who had a darker skin complex than the boy that stood in front of me, who's skin was very pale but seemed to suit him, held his hands up in defense as the curly haired boy narrowed his eyes at him. i tried my best to hold back a giggle. he was cute.
his eyes were dark and bland but, they looked like they had much for depth and meaning to them. his lips were chapped and dry, but in my eyes they looked kissable and- wait, what was i saying?! i don't even know the boys name? and i'm already becoming attracted to him!
"no, my friend max will lead you to our main building along with the other boy. and i haven't gotten your names yet?" i asked.
"my name's noah, and this is caleb. and the boy you seem to hate's name is finn." noah butted in, smiling lightly at me and he already seemed very delicate. i wouldn't dare to go after a little flower.
"okay, thank you." i whispered, smiling back in return as his eyes sparkled, lighting up at my nice actions towards him.
"max, take these boys to the main building while i deal with this one. we need to make sure that the police don't see them so we aren't framed for another thing yet again." i rolled my eyes as i informed her of my orders, and she nodded before leading noah and caleb towards the way.
"come with me." i gripped his upper arm and dragged him towards my cottage, where nona and i stayed but she was out on a mission at this time, so i was all alone.
when we eventually made it inside, i checked my surroundings before locking the door and closing the window blinds.
"what are you doing here? you could've gotten yourself killed!" i screamed but still tried to keep my voice down, knowing that if i weren't to, people would be able to hear our conversation.
"i already told you, to apologize-"
"oh cut the shit, you didn't hurt me that bad. i've been through a lot of worse shit so i have thick skin and learn to take a lot of shit from people."
"oh that's good." he admitted, the stress that was present in his face, was immediately gone after my past words.
"just because i'm not offended doesn't mean all is forgiven." i scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest as i threw a distasteful look his way.
"you're one tough cookie, aren't you?" he grinned, showing his crooked teeth. oh my god, he makes my heart feel things it's never felt.
"yeah yeah." i kept a straight face but i felt the need to attack him with hugs.
yes, i know i acted tough 99.9% of the time but in reality, i was extremely soft. i had a big heart and i got that from my mom, but i couldn't let people know that. i mean, i'm still really harsh and demanding, but that doesn't mean i don't have a heart.
"so, what am i supposed to do." he trailed off, his eyes proceeding to scan the cot, that was actually very clean and organized. that's only because of nona, she's always picking up after me and my mess.
"nothing. i just said that so my people knew i wasn't going to let you get away with this situation but in reality, i don't want to hurt you so i'm not going to." i told him honestly, as he began to smile at me.
"why are you always smiling?" i asked him, scrutinizing his features once again but soon scolding myself since i really didn't want to come across as a weirdo.
"cause what's their not to be happy about?"
"a lot. wars, death, the authorities, the police assaulting and killing us, and trying our best to stay alive." i told him as his smile soon morphed into a frown. i think a smile suited him better.
"maybe, you should stop thinking negatively about everything and begin to think more positively." he suggested causing me to scoff at his input.
"how about, no." i quipped and soon i was over his shoulder, and me screaming and kicking.
"you realize i have pulled a knife out on you, and i will again if you don't put me down this instance!" i yelled as i continued to pound my fists against his back, but he didn't even flinch once. but his eyes told a different story as his face seem to scrunch up in agony.
"you're very strong." he grunted out as he plopped me down on my bed. i narrowed my eyes at him, shaking my head at his foolishness.
"well maybe next time, don't unexpectedly just throw me over your back!" i exasperated, as he made a face while rubbing his sore back.
"ok, so is there another reason why you came here?" i asked him as he nodded his head.
"i want to er..." he trailed off as he might think that i'll think his idea is crazy.
