Tee's POV
I saw Gally walk up to Britney. My heart had dropped into my stomach, I felt a twang on guilt rush through me. Flung her arms around him and tried to kiss him, but he awkwardly dodged her. After shuffling from foot to foot and rubbing his neck awkwardly, he spoke to her solemnly and then walked away. I was expecting her to scream and say 'That b***h Tee put you up to this!' To my utter horror, she looked down at the floor and wiped her face before walking away. Now I felt awful, how was I supposed to embrace me and Gally when I knew she was still in love with him. I felt a twig break behind me that interrupted the hurricane inside my head. I swung around quickly; Gally was standing behind me. "Hey" he said and went in to kiss me. I leant back and looked concerned. "What did you say to her?" I said, a hand on his chest. "I said I had feelings for someone else and I didn't really like her in that way.... Or ever actually" he said. What?! Was Gally trying to create more drama? Honestly, this boy... I hit him on the arm. "What the shuck was that for!" he asked with a shocked expression. "Gally, you could of been more kind to her! I know I kind of hate her, but imagine how she feels right now; worthless I should think" I said firmly.
He looked hurt and shocked. "I thought you hated her, I thought this is what you wanted!" he said exasperated. "I didn't want you to be rude! I'm going to see her, and make sure she's alright" and walked away. Leaving an agitated Gally behind me.
I found her in the forest, alone, I think this would be a good time to sort things out, without anyone to stir the pot as you say. "What do you want?" she asked. I realised that she had lost that malicious tone to her voice and looked a lot nicer. It was so much more appealing actually. "To see if you are alright..." I replied. She looked at me and wiped some tears away. She weakly smiled. "I'm sorry I never wanted it to end like this" she said, regret was plastered all over her face, something we had in common right then. "Its fine, I'm also really sorry, about the fight and everything, I should never of started it, all this rivalry" I said looking down, ashamed. "I knew he didn't like me" she said still looking down. "What? I asked, after a pause. "I knew, well, that we weren't right for each other. It was just..... with everything that happened, some attention was just nice" she admitted. She suddenly moved closer to me and held my hand. "Could we be friends, me you and Gally, I mean... I'm already mortified" she mumbled. "Of course" I said softly. We both smiled. I thought briefly about hugging her but then I figured, baby steps.
I went back to Gally. He turned around and watched me come over, looking sheepish. Now me and Britney weren't rutting heads, I felt bad for being so harsh with him before. I cut in before he could say anything. "Hey, I know your sorry and I-"
"I'll go and apologise" he muttered. "Are you embarrassed?" I asked amused. He shoved my shoulder playfully. "Don't push it greenie" and walked away. "I'm not a greenie anymore remember!" I called after him. I heard him chuckle to himself in reply, the sunset in front of him. Smiling to myself I began to walk to the Homesteads when I saw Rachel and Ben from the other side of the glade. They were sat down on the grass and seemed to be in deep conversation, he touched her arm and smiled before walking away to join the other keepers. I smiled to myself. Something was playing on my mind though, with everything going so right. What's going to go wrong?
