Chapter 9

“Kristen! Kristen!” Lily was shaking me around in her little blonde hurricane. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, and then looked at her. In my best Southern Belle accent I said “why, hello, my darling, how ever are you?” Lily giggled with her hands over her mouth and looked at me. “You have border patrol in a half hour. Get a shower. Plus, guess what?”

“What”

“You have border patrol with Ryan!”

“God no!”

“Lord Yes!” she ran out, already fully dressed and prepared for me to jump up. Sighing, I forced myself out of my bed and got into the shower with my long red hair down out of its braid. After my shower, I continued with my morning routine. Dressing in my usual tank top, jeans, combat boots, and jacket, I looked in the mirror. My eyes looked back at me. Vivid, almost acid green with flecks of blue spotting them almost surprised me. Most people say they like them, but they just want a reason to stare at my eyes. I just sighed and went to border patrol without getting Ryan to creep on me.

“The city is at war, playtime for the young and rich. Ignore me of you see me cause I just don’t give a sh-“sticking out my tongue, I switched the song to something more of my style. Lily was so going to pay for nuking my I phone with all kinds of weird music that will get stuck in my head. I turned up the music to one of my favorite songs, Headstrong by Trapt. The music was so loud that I didn’t hear Ryan coming up behind me and tapping my shoulder. Bad move, pretty boy.

Instead of, say, being a normal person and turning around to look at him, I snapped my leg back into a runner’s position. It didn’t make him fall, but he was balancing on one foot, wobbling slightly. Don’t ask how I knew what he was doing, I just have a sixth sense, of some sorts. Anyway, I spun my body around to make him fall on his back. Then, to make sure he didn’t get up unless it was on my terms, I flipped and sat on him.

Most girls think that If they sat on a guy, the guy could easily lift them to get them off. It’s all in the center of balance, girls. Shift it even a little, and they can’t lift you at all and it makes the guy look like a doufus. Little trick of mine.

“Where you $%^$# following me?!” Ryan coughed in response. From the fall, not my body weight.

“So you cuss now?”

“Yes, and if you want the pro, then go to Lily Foster. She is the curser around here, not me”

We just sat there for a moment. Actually, I sat on his back and Ryan had his face in the dirt, but that’s not the point. We sat/laid there so long, in fact, that the song changed to who says by Selena Gomez.

“What is this song?” I could tell that he was grinning. Hoping that he would get worms in his teeth, I stood up and let him stand.

“So what do you want in the first place?” Ryan bit his bottom lip and looked at me. “Please, don’t get mad at me, this wasn’t my decision.”

“wha-“I was about to ask what he meant, but I got cut off by a cloth that was held over my mouth and nose, and I recognized it immediately recognized it. Sleeping gas. I held my breath and pretended to struggle. I was hoping that the struggling would work, but no dice. So instead I slumped over and closed my eyes. There was a rustle, then iron strong arms picked me up.

A voice broke the silence “that was easier than I thought it would be.” Said a girls voice

A male’s voice then spoke. “Ryan, I thought you were going to get Lily also?”

My head vibrated when Ryan spoke, he must be holding me. I tried and failed to not feel a little happy about that. “I couldn’t. She is out in the town nearby. How about Annie and I take Kristin back to the ship?” the ship? Holy crap!
