Tamara
"Shhh." I whisper with a mischevious grin as I ushered Chuck and Minho forward. The halls of the homestead were dimly lit, the light coming from the sunset. We had watched Gally for hours upon hours, just waiting for the right time to prank him. He had gotten up to use the restroom and I thought, what better time to prank the acne faced boy?
We crept closer and closer to the bathroom and I pressed my ear up to the door. A soft humming came from inside and a smirk grew across my cheeks. Gally was humming. Gally didn't seem the type to hum. Nevertheless hum a happy joyous song. It actually sounded like he was humming a theme song from a kids movie.
I turned back towards the boys and grin. "Okay, we don't have much time, we need to do this quick and and then leave quicker." I whisper to the pair.
They nod and then chuck starts off by tapping the window, then quickly running past the corner and pressing against the wall. "What was that?" I heard Gally whisper from inside.
I smirk and then sneak up to the door raking my finger nails down the door for a split second before running back to behind the wall. Gally opened the door and turned his head left and right scanning the hallway. "The shuck? Maybe it's my mind playing tricks on me." He told himself as he went back to finish his business.
I ran back and slammed my fist on the door three times and Chuck followed behind me with a loud scream. And just let me say, DANG that boy could scream like a Banshee. Chuck and I ran back around the corner and unfortunately Minho was turning around the corner to check up on what was happening.
I turned the corner and crashed straight into Minho, both of us crashing to the floor. I groaned and lifted my head off of Minho's chest. I was about to tell him off, but when his chocolate brown eyes gazed into my own, I melted.
I got the whole entire shucking package, the fluttering in my stomach, my chest heating up, and my cheeks flushing a deep red. Our faces were inches apart and our noses were barely touching. Suddenly I became very aware of Minho's hands on my waist. Minho leaned closer and my breath caught in my throat as our noses touched.
The anticipation was killing me, and I was nearly about to end my torment and make the final move, when I heard a small gagging sound and heard a small whisper.
"Geez guys, Christ is watching." Chuck whispered in disgust right before I heard the bathroom door open, a string of curses following.
I immediately pulled myself off of Minho and grabbed both of their hands as we blasted the shuck out of there. I was not going to get caught nearly kissing Minho. Especially by Gally.
Minho
It. Almost. Happened. We almost shucking kissed. Grievers how I wish it didn't have to happen in that moment, in that exact specific scenario. Why couldn't Gally just decided to klunk just a little longer and did Chuck really have to bring up that Christ is watching? Was it really necessary?
I smile as I think back, remembering her body pressed up against mine, her dark hair framing her beautiful face, her gorgeous blue eyes staring into mine. Our breath mingling, and her face leaning closer and closer, her luscious full pink lips just inches away. Oh how I wished to kiss those lips. But I couldn't. I'm not even sure she likes me back!
I look down at Tamara and smile softly. Watching as she breathed in and out, her eyelids fluttering about as she slept, her dark hair spread out all around her face in a complete mess making her look absolutely adorable.
"No." She murmured as she started thrashing. "No, no, no, no!" She screamed. "St-stop hurting him!" She screeched. I jolted up slightly panicking. Okay I was panicking big time. I didn't want to get too close in fear of her slapping or kicking me.
"Tam." I shout but she didn't wake. I look down at my hand and take a deep breath hoping she wouldn't kill me when she woke up, and then slapped her cheek. She sprung out of bed and attacked my face with slaps before opening her eyes.
"Minho?" She whispered her voice cracking slightly.
"Yes?" I looked down at and smiled warmly.
"Y-you died." She stammered as she snuggled closer resting her head on my bare chest and wrapped her arms around me tightly. "Please never die again." She whispered.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not dying any time soon." I reassure her as I stroke her hair softly until she fell asleep again.
***
I woke up to the voice of an angel, singing a tune I've never heard of before. My eyes blink open and I yawn looking around the room. I see Tamara in front of my mirror, brushing her long dark hair. For some reason, I couldn't take take my eyes off of her hair. It was just so mesmerizing.
She turns around and her piercing blue eyes meet with mine. "Mornin' Sunshine. How'd you enjoy that extra hour of sleep?" She asks with a smirk.
"Good, it was good..." My eyes widen and I jolt up. "Extra hour?" I shout, my eyes narrowing at Tamara. "You despicable little-"
She walked straight out the door and waved at me, laughing. "Be careful, and don't die in the maze!"
I groan and roll out of bed changing into my running clothes, at t-shirt and cargo pants. I get my hair products and step in front of the mirror. I nearly scream when I see my reflection.
Why didn't Tamara tell me that my hair looked like a rats nest? I literally had hair sticking up in different angles all over the place. I chuckled quietly. That shucking girl.
I sigh and use the magic of gel and hairspray to get my hair back to its fabulous old self. I look in the mirror and nod at my reflection approvingly. I looked good.
"Mirror mirror on my wall. Who is the sexiest sassy shank of them all?" I asked as I arched my brow.
"Oh! You are Minho!" I hear a high pitched voice coming from my door. I shout and lurch away from my mirror. I turn my head towards the door and see Newt laughing his butt off. "That bloody ego of yours never stops does it?"
He laughs as he turns around and walks down the hallway muttering. "Oh my grievers that was hilarious."
I run out of my room and catch up to Newt. "If you speak of that to anyone, I will throw you off the maze walls." I warn urgently. If that got out, I would never hear the end of it.
"Sure, whatever Queen Minho." Newt bursts out laughing again. "Anyway, breakfast is ready, and the runners are leaving in 10 minutes so hurry the shuck up."
"Okay, okay." I groan walking with Newt to Breakfast.
"Tamara is cooking today, so everyone already knows that breakfast is going to be lit." Newt points out.
"Lit?" I question. "What the heck is lit?" I pause and my eyes widen. "Oh no, she's going to set the kitchen on fire?"
"What the, no. Just forget it. I got it from a book of slang that people apparently used back before we came here in the box. I thought I might try it out, and maybe we could adopt some terms." Newt explained.
"Okay, but I'm seriously concerned. What does lit mean?"
"Bloody hell..." Newt sighed. "Lit, is what you say when something is bloody amazing, or fun. For example, you would say. Dang! That Bonfire last night was lit!"
"Oh!" I laugh as I nod in understanding as we walk in and sit down at a table with Chuck, Belle, Frypan and Alby. "I get it now."
I see Gally at the other table jabbering on and on about how the glade is haunted. I chuckle as I realize that he's talking about the prank we did on him last night.
"Get what?" Chuck asks curiously.
"What lit means."
"Lit?" The whole table questions.
"You see, that's what I said! Lit basically means fun. Except I think lit means that it was like absolutely shucking amazing fun. So like, If you compare fun, and lit, then lit is more fun than just fun if that makes any sense." I attempt to explain.
They all stare at me in confusion. "No that doesn't make any sense at all." Alby says bluntly.
"Okay, then let me rephrase it. Lit is when-"
"BREAKFAST IS READY!" I hear Tamara shout from in the kitchen as she finishes putting out all the breakfast choices on the long table.
Everyone jumps up and runs to the long table, pushing eachother out of the way to get in front first. I leap out of my chair and jump on top of tables and push a few people out of the way, managing to make it to the first 15 people in line.
The line slowly moved forward and I grabbed a paper plate, napkin, plastic spoon and fork, and a bowl and move along the line looking at my choices.
Tamara had made Eggs, Ham, Bacon, Muffins, Cereal, Pancakes with fruit faces on them and sausages. For drink choices, she had had milk, orange juice, and apple juice. And for toppings she had Nutella, peanut butter, syrup, and butter. Did I mention that I'm in love with Tamara?
A chorus of thank you's rang out as mostly everyone got through the line. I sat back down at my table and dug into the best breakfast everyone here has ever had.
"God this is so delicious." Newt moans, his mouth stuffed with pancakes.
"I've never tasted anything so delicious in my life." I agreed as I stuffed my mouth with eggs, bacon? And a pancake with Nutella on it.
"My pancake has an alien face." Chuck giggles as he eats the fruit off of his pancake.
"Umm Chuck? You have a milk mustache." Belle Giggles
"When the runners finish eating, please come up to the long table again!" Tamara shouts.
I was done in literally 5 minutes. As was half of the room. I wouldn't be surprised if half of the glade started barfing their breakfast up after eating so much so fast.
I stood up and threw my plate and everything else in the trash and then walked up to the long table with the rest of the runners who were also finished.
"Okay, so I packed all of your lunches. Inside you'll find an egg salad sandwich, some beef jerky, a bag of nuts, and two bottles of water. Okay? Now grab one and be on your way." She instructed.
I grinned down at her and grabbed a bag, patting her back before heading out. "Minho wait." Tamara calls out.
I turn around with a smirk. "Yes Tamaroni?"
Her nose scrunched at the Nick name I gave her. "How'd you think of that one? Anyway, be careful, don't die." She told me in all seriousness.
"I will." I smile and turn around and run into the maze with a smirk leaving Tamara there to ponder over if I meant I will be safe, or I will go and die.
YOU SHOULD LOWKEY START READING THESE LITTLE AUTHORS NOTES AT THE END. SOMETIMES THEYRE IMPORTANT. Or at least slightly important and appealing to the readers.
Yup. There it is.
that was your gift from me to you for getting me up to 22K SHUCKNG READS! I LOVE YOU GUYS.
I think you all enjoyed that chapter, and also hate me at the same time for leading you on and killing you with feels. Sorry, but you know you secretly love it.😂
So that was also for me not updating in forever. My dad has been wanting me to wrap this story up so I can write an original story and get it published so that I'll have a chance to make money, but like I have so many ideas for this book that I don't want to give up on, so hopefully I can get this done quickly by updating quicker.
Maybe I can even do what I said I'd do and update once a week? Or twice a week! Help me and give me motivation. Honestly if I get lots of comments saying 'update please this is great,' or even 'update or I will kill your firstborn' then I'll have more motivation to write a lot that day and maybe even update that very day. So more comments = sooner updates.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter! It was actually a lot longer than I expected. And...... 😈enjoy this next chapter too😈
ILY SASSY SHANKS! SLAY IN LIFE LIKE MINHARA SLAYS OUR FEELS!💓
