The Challenge | BOOK 2

13 - The Gameboy

What do you think was the attack plan in the last chapter? And what about the body hanging from the ceiling?

The gameboy made another noise, and then another. I heard a loud cry of victory that shook me awake. I opened my eyes and groaned as I looked over at the male who's name I still had to learn. He'd been in the infirmary for two days with a small head injury.

He clenched his jaw as he rapidly pressed buttons on the controller. He hissed out and shook his head, and then grinned as he pressed more buttons. Again, he let out a loud yell of victory. If people weren't awake before, they definitely were now.

He tossed his gameboy down on the bed and turned in my direction. He grabbed the glass of water from the small stand between our beds. He shot me a look as he drank his water, and then mine too.

I rolled my eyes at him.

"What?" He asked me.

"You're not even in here for a good injury. Go home," I said to him. He laughed mockingly at me and then eyed me. He looked me up and down.

"You don't even have an injury. What'd you do? Stub your toe?" He retorted. I tried to hold a straight face, but we both started to laugh. He rolled his eyes.

"You're a dick," I groaned out as I moved up into a sitting position. I leant again the wall behind my bed and sighed.

The male and I had been admitted to the infirmary on the same night. He'd come in after me with a knock to the head. I got along with him immediately.

He was a funny guy. Plus, he was obsessed with his damn gameboy device. He took it with him everywhere. He stumbled into the infirmary complaining about the level he was on.

Since I didn't know his name, I called him Gameboy. He didn't seem to mind it.

"Both of you shut up. At least you don't look like this," the guy groaned from my left. I turned my head and smirked at the other guy on the bed next to mine.

He had bandages wrapped around his entire head. He looked like an idiot, and Gameboy and I liked to make fun of him. He'd been in the infirmary for the longest.

"Must be hard to get girls with that thing on your face," Gameboy said. The other guy, who's name was Colson, frowned.

"What's on my face?" Colson asked. Gameboy smirked and rolled his eyes.

"Nothing. Ugly a whole lot of ugly," Gameboy replied cockily. I snickered and rolled my eyes also. Colson growled out and then hissed in pain. He had taken a pretty bad beating in a fight with a moose.

Gameboy and I made fun of him for that too.

"From one ugly person to another, I think you should shut the hell up," Colson said. Gameboy snorted.

Matter of fact, both males were quite attractive. They were both Alpha males from different packs. They'd arrived in Takiani with the rest of the new transfers. I was glad to have met some new people.

"What are you gonna do if I don't? Get one of your moose friends to come and beat me up?" Gameboy snorted, barely able to control his laughter. I chuckled and Colson groaned.

"Just you wait until I'm out of here. You're the first person who's getting their ass kicked," Colson growled. Gameboy smirked.

"I'll be waiting," Gameboy said.

The door to the room opened and I watched as Lila pokes her head inside. I smiled at her, and she returned the grin as she came into the room and shut the door behind her.
