She's the first

Part10

The room was dark, the dim light of the flame flickering, reflections bouncing off of the shiny metal surface of countless knives and various weapons that hung on the walls. "You are allowed one of the machetes and Alby said when you got you knife to let you have a choice of one of the other weapons" he explained. I nodded, understanding. I reached at took one of the knives of the wall, I started looking for another weapon. A bow and a set of arrows caught my eye, the I went and picked it up.

"Somehow I knew you were gonna bloody pick the bow and arrows" he said rolling his eyes and laughing. "You need this too, since the arrows and the bow will go one your back so there won't be room for the knife" he said handing me a brown leather pouch with adjustable straps on it. "It goes around your leg of your thigh, up to you which one" he spoke smirking, looking down at my legs. I got self-contusions and I squirmed under his gaze. It was weird, it wasn't like he was looking at me like I was something he wanted but something he was confused of. He snapped out of his gaze and looked up at my eyes. "Sorry just thinking" he said smiling. I smiled back and strapped the pouch to my thigh and slid the knife in it. I put the arrow in there holder in my back and slid the bow over my head.

"Ok done!" I spoke when I was done. Newt smiled and gestured for me to go up the ladders first. I did and I put my hand out for the torch he carried so he could get up easier. I put it in the stand on the wall and turned to see Newt already out of the secret room and shutting the trap door.

"Don't tell anyone about that room... Normally we just bring out the knives for people but Alby said you can know about it in case of emergencies.....I think he wants you to be important around here, being the only girl 'round here and all" he said looking at me. "You can trust me" I said winking, and skipping away out of the map room.

"Hey Brooke?" I heard him call me, I turned my head as he was just running out of the map room.

"Yeah?" I asked. He shook his head.

"It doesn't matter never mind, you better get back to Gally before he starts being a ass" he said chuckling.

"Talk at dinner?" I asked and he nodded. I said bye and ran back to my selves.

I chopped of the bits of wood that stuck out, the whole time I had one thing in my mind...Newt. I feel like I know him, there's something about him.

No now is not the time or the place to get a crush on some guy you don't know!

But I guess it is too late... I do like Newt, but no one will find out.

I walked over to Gally to tell him that I was finished. He had a smug look on his face. "Come on then I wanna see what damage you have done" he said gesturing me to lead the way, to what he expects to be a pile of wood.

When we reached the selves he looked shocked. "You did this on your own?" He said shocked. I nodded. "Well done shank, at the gathering I will be requesting you" he said smiling. I gave him a smile. I wouldn't mind being builder it was a challenge like a puzzle. I guess I'm one of those people who like a test.

"Where are these selves going anyway?" I asked. "The homestead where the med-jacks work" he said. "Want help taking it to them?" I asked as he started lifting the shelves. "If you wanna greenie" he said. I held the bottom of the wooden structure so I was walking forwards and Gally was walking backward. I pushed the wood quick and I pushed into Gally. He stumbled back but caught himself before he fell over completely. I laughed and he chuckled.

Alby and Newt came over. "Well then what do we have here? A little romance between the greenie and the ass of the glade?" Ably said wiggling his eyebrows. I looked at Alby completely disgusted. "No that will give me nightmares thanks for that Alby" I said with my smile vanishing. "Okay greenie but he doesn't act nice to anyone but you" he continued. "That's cause she is the only girl and she was scared of me and I didn't want her to be" Gally rolled his eyes. "Besides I know who she likes"
