▶ WHITE NOISE ⭐ THE 100

xv. act fifteen

I awoke
To the sound of
Shouting
In the distance.
My eyes flew
Open,
And I found
Myself
Sleeping
Next to
Spacewalker,
His arms
Wrapped around
My waist.
I quickly got up,
Managed to pull on my shirt,
Took my jacket
And was about
To leave.
When he
Woke up
Too.
"Lance?"
I heard him
Mumble
Groggily.
I sighed quietly,
And glanced
At him,
Over my shoulder.
"What?"
Spacewalker stared at me
For a few more seconds,
Before getting up.
"Never mind.
When the alliance
Works
Because
It totally
Can,
We can do this
Again,
Right?"
I think about this
And nod,
Even though I know
That we
Won't.
Yesterday night,
Was a mistake.
One that I
Am not willing
To repeat.
Not if I were
Still going
To be
Anya's second.
I don't know
Where this
Weird
Sudden
Feeling
Is coming from,
As I leave.
But I don't
Like it.
It makes me
Feel
Vulnerable.
I arrive shortly
Back at Camp.
June is waiting,
Her eyebrow raised.
"Where
Were you?"
She asks.
I pause
To think.
"Spying
On
The Sky People.
To make sure
They won't
Bring any weapons
To the
Bridge
Today."
I lied,
Convincingly.
June grins.
"That's smart.
When Tris
Is gone,
Anya will
Have
To pick you
For a Second."
And I wonder;
Does everyone know
About my ambition
To rank up?
