Ground Walkers {SLOW UPDATES}

Chapter 3 You Have No Idea Do You?

"Oh, yeah right. Just shut up, and get in the tree." Christine answered, as she pointed at a tree two feet away from them.

Carson didn't put up a fight. He just simply nodded his head, and started climbing up the tree.

"You guys too. Get your butts up there." She continued, looking over at her friends.

"Yes ma'am!" Daniel mocked, saluting her, before beginning to climb the tree. Christine playfully rolled her eyes in response. Once everyone was in the tree it was her turn.

"Okay, let's get this over with." Christine mumbled, walking to the end of the bench. She ran down the bench, doing some flips and stuff, before reaching the end and flipping on to the tree.

She landed perfectly by Phoenixx, Daniel, and Carson. She heard some foot steps and then silence. She looked down, something she's used to, and saw a group of boys standing right underneath them.

"Wow. Men. Always so clueless." She thought, shaking her head.

"Where did he go?" A voice asked from below.

"He came down this way and just... Disappeared." Another said. Christine looked down at them, smirking and trying not to laugh the entire time. She heard Phoenixx put zir hand over zir mouth, muffling zir laughter. Christine had turned to zir and punched zir lightly, whispering to zir to shut up, as she slightly giggled as well.

"I told you to keep an eye on him and don't let him get away!" Another boy yelled, hitting the second one on the back of his head. One guy was just standing there, rubbing his eyes with his fingers as the group of men were arguing.

"Oh, shut up, and start thinking for once, instead of arguing!" He snapped, causing all of them to go silent.

"Wow. That was rude. I'm not even that rude to my friends. It's more of an sarcastic under tone." Christine thought, a bit taken back by the outburst. 

She shared a glance with Daniel, and he knew what she was thinking, and nodded.

He pulled Phoenixx and Carson, behind some leafs and signaled the others to do the same. While this was happening, Christine just sat there, playfully smirking. A breeze went by and all the noises they made just seemed natural. That all happened in under a minute so the boys were still standing underneath them.

"All I heard from that was two things. The first one being, 'Oh shut up and use your useless brains for once'. Or this one, my personal favorite, 'Oh shut up and rub your two brains cells together to come up with something.'" Christine stated, with her famous smirk. They jumped a little at the sound of her voice and looked up.

"Ugh, men. Always such scaredy cats." She thought, rolling her eyes a bit.

"Where did he go?! Where are you hiding him?!" Alexander snapped.

"Dude! I don't know!" Christine yelled, putting her hands up in defense, acting innocent.

"That's a lie." He snapped back, clearly growing impatient.

"What makes you think that darling?" She sarcastically replied, batting her eyelashes and smirking.

"You were protecting him at lunch and now your saying you don't know where he is?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Hey, I'm not a stalker like you guys." She snapped back.

"You have three seconds to tell us before I grab you and through you face first on the ground!" He threatened.

"Like I haven't heard that before." She replied.

"You're not scared?" He asked, sounding a little surprised.

"No, I'm actually kinda angry that you're still talking to me, acting like I know where he is. But go ahead, try to yeet me onto the ground." She plainly answered, resting her chin in the palm of her hand.

"I guess I might as well use it to my advantage." He said, smirking.

"You don't want to see me truly angry. Trust me, you don't know what I'm capable of." She stated, gazing right into his soul. Some of his friends shivered and others gulped. She just smirked, clearly enjoying herself.

"Why don't you try going to the house over there and see if he's in there since it's the only place he could have gone." She suggested, pointing to the small blue house behind them in the distance. They turned around and looked at the house, face-palming.

"If he's not there we'll be coming back for you." Alexander threatened, death glaring, before turning around and running away, the others following behind him.

"Wait, but no one lives in that house." Phoenixx said after jumping out of the tree, landing on the ground.

"I know, I said that to buy us time." Christine replied, while the others jumped down as well.

"Time for what?" Maykayla asked.

"Time for this," Christine answered, jumping down on Jennifer's back again.

"Put em' up bro high!" She yelled, repeating the same phrase from earlier. Jennifer started running again, with the others close behind.

They stopped once they reached a nearby forest area, that lined the outskirts of the field, that the group usually hang out in. Jennifer put Christine down on top of a stump near a tree she could easily climb up.

"Why did you help me?" Carson asked, causing Christine to jump a little. She had completely forgot he was still with them.

"What?" She asked.

"Why did you-" He started again, speaking slowly, before she cut him off.

"I heard what you said and saying it slower isn't going to help either. And I said that because your actually asking me why I literally saved your butt?" She asked again.

"Because I kinda called you out and was a jerk to you." He mumbled, twiddling his fingers.

"Oh, yeah, that... Um, I'm kinda doing this because I like to mess with people and..... Um, you kinda owe me now, and I like it when people owe me favors. Gives me the upper hand at times." She answered, starting to climb the nearby tree.

"Okay, also you never answered my question." He added. She looked over at him with a confused look on her face, as she struggled to climb the tree.

"Who, what, where, why, how? What question? What'd you ask?" She asked, confused.

"The question I asked earlier in class. Have you ever thought about touching the ground before?" He asked. 

"Sometimes." She answered, pulling herself up onto the branch. "But, does it look like I ever do it or talk about it?" She sarcastically added.

"Yeah, kinda." He answered, jumping over a few roots that stuck out of the ground.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Slade asked. Christine nearly fell of the tree, having completely forgot her friends were there too.

"Yeah, what is that supposed to mean?" Christine asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well you look, act, and are rebellious so maybe you have done it just to go against the rules or something stupid like that." He answered, shrugging.

"She would for that reason or if it was a dare." Jennifer pointed out.

"It's the gloves. They give people that vibe." Christine shrugged, showing off her fingerless gloves, before starting to walk along the long thick branch.

"So, what are we gonna do now that we have a newbie and complete and total udder boredom on our hands?" Christine asked, mostly talking to herself, as she jumped onto another tree branch.

"I don't know." Daniel answered, shrugging. "But I'm sure you and your stupidity would have no trouble finding something to do." He added.

Christine suddenly remembered something that they could actually do, and something she could show them.
