Time Skip to ze next morning
I woke in my own hammock that, even if it was a little weird to get used to, it actually was quite comfortable. I managed to sleep through the loud snores of the boys.
Apparently I had woken up at the right time seeing as several of the boys were already up and rubbing the sleep from their eyes. I stood up raising my hands above my head in an attempt to stretch out. I could still sense many stares from the boys but ignored them all the same.
I made my way to the mess hall that was not that crowded yet a took a spot next to Newt. There must have been only about a dozen guys in there at the time. I could see Gally, sitting at a table in the front continuing to glare at me. I returned the glare but was slightly confused. Why was he still glaring at me like I did something terrible to him?
I dismissed the strange behavior and ate my breakfast that consisted of two eggs, a biscuit, and juicy green grapes. It was pretty enjoyable, Frypan was honestly a pretty decent cook.
I was simply making small talk with Newt and a younger boy named Chuck who talk a lot, most of the morning until we were dispersed to our jobs. I stood up a little unsure of where to go and looked around for Gally who was apparently the keeper of the builders from what Alby claimed.
I finally found Gally who just happened to be talking to Alby and gesturing towards me obviously explaining to a ticked off Gally that I would be working with him. I walked straight over there and thankfully, the numerous stares from the boys had started to die down, now it was mostly just curious glances.
" Here she is, Ferris will be working as a builder unless I say other wise alright Gally" Alby practically ordered putting a hand in my shoulder almost like a brother would. Gally looked like he want to retort but Alby left after that statement to most likely go and talk or order someone else. The other builders looked up in surprise to see me being put with the builders.
I looked up at Gally who must have been a good six inches taller than me " Looks like you're stuck with me" I said smiling. Gally rolled his eyes " Yea, unfortunately" Gally said back and I rose a brow. " Look I don't know what I did to you to make you hate me already but you need to calm down" I said crossing my arms looking back at him confidently.
" Whatever Greenie, just get over there and start sawing the wood in two foot intervals" Gally snapped gesturing to about 8 planks of dark ashy wood and a saw that had seen better days.
I simply listened to him not really wanting to argue with him any longer. One of the boys, who had dark brown hair that went down to his shoulders and a prominent nose smiled warmly as I picked up my saw. " Hi my names Gregerson, most people call me Greg though" He said warmly with a wide smile that suited his features perfectly. I smiled back, " I'm Ferris, but I'm sure you already knew that" I answered and set my saw on the plank of wood. The saw was actually a bit heavier than I had initially anticipated.
" Hey don't worry about Gally, he doesn't like much of anybody" He added reassuringly. " Yeah I have noticed" I said with a smirk and could see Gally out of the corner of my eyes glaring at us. But I paid him no mind. I had a feeling Greg and I would be pretty good friends, he seemed like a nice guy.
I started to try and saw the wood put it turned out to be harder than I had originally thought. But after a few fails I managed to get a good grove and began cutting the wood, however I did so at a little bit of an angle making the wood look like a half rhombus.
I continued cutting the wood and got better as it went on but I was beginning to work up a sweat that thankfully couldn't be seen through the black shirt I was wearing that had short sleeves.
I took a break after my fourth plank to grab a drink of water and saw that Gally had taken of his shirt as he chopped small logs of wood with frightful ease. His back muscles worked like a well oiled machine with each time he brought down his axe. He actually looked pretty hot.
But I quickly stopped staring when Gally glanced back at me noticing my staring and I quickly drank some water and got back to work. Well that's kind of embarrassing.
