The Seven Boys

When I Awoke, the sunlight rained down on my face and Squinted. I Groaned as I Had to move out of the sun rays. I Wanted to sleep some more but it was too late. I Was already waking up and ready to keep travelling. I Got up on my feet and stretched. I Yawned and then stood there looking at the empty mess of blankets and pillows. I Turned around. Wait… I Whipped my head around again. I Stared at the pile. Where’s Namjoon and the others? Why did I Just exclude Namjoon when I Said…okay! That’s not important now! I Need to find my fake siblings! I Slapped myself in the head and I Went to inspect the pile of blankets. Their packs were gone. “W-what’s happening?” I Stammered as I Walked backwards. I Looked in all directions, but I Was alone. “Did they leave me?” I Wondered. “No, they wouldn’t do that. They don’t know where to go. They need me, and I Need them. Where are they?” I Cried. Frustration came over me and I Clenched my fists. “Why would they just leave me here? Couldn’t they leave or something?” I Whispered to myself. Ibegan folding and organizing the blankets and pillows. My stomach growled. An imaginary light bulb appeared above my head like they always do in the cartoons. “Food!” I Stood up and pointed my finger at the sky. “They’re getting food! Of course!” I laughed at myself for being so stupid and impatient. I sat back down, waiting for them. Maybe 30 seconds or so, I screamed into one of the pillows. “What’s taking them so long?” I growled. “If they take any longer, I’m just going out to the streets and find a food stand to steal from myself.” I stood up and brushed the dust off of my black tights. The naughty side of me took over and I thought of a nasty trick to play on them. “Maybe I’ll run away to a different house where I can see them from a distance.And I wait for them to panic as they realize I’d left them.” I paced back and forth in the empty house. “Or I’ll make it look like I’ve been kidnapped again!” I laughed at the evil plans I plotted. Then I came up with the best one of them all. I moved my eyes in that classic evil way that the villains always do in the movies. Ibegan to set it up. I moved quickly, afraid that they might come back, and catch me. I snickered the entire time I was setting it up. Finally, I was done. Iran back around the house where there was no window on the wall and I took the blood from a rabbit I killed and made it look like I had just been in a fight. I had more clothes stored in my pack, so I cut my tights and my shirt. I took my Wicked to make it look like it was more real. Finally I messed up my hair and bathed myself in dirt. I looked at myself. ~I probably look so bad and torn up right now. ~ I laughed at myself. Iran back into the house and nodded. Then Iran back outside and waited for them. Thank god I didn’t decide to fix anything inside, because as soon as Isat down in the grass, I heard them come in. I stifled a laugh. This is going to be so freaking awesome. Itold myself. Iheard Namjoon talking to JungKook. “What the hell…” Namjoon said. Iheard them walk over to the spot that Imade look like Ihad been dragged out and struggling. Ifelt my Arcus back there, and Iheard someone pick it up. “Where’s Selena?” Jimin  asked Namjoon with concern creeping into his voice. “Idon’t know.” Namjoon replied quietly. They inspected the rest of the room before Namjoon shouted. “Someone took her! She’s been kidnapped again! Crap, we should’ve been more careful! Oh my god, she could be dead by now. It took us so long to get back here.” Namjoon screamed. “She could be dead…” He whispered. I smiled. Here I go! Ithought. Istood up and walked with a limp towards the doorway. Ileaned to one side and grabbed my right arm, where Ihad applied an intense amount of blood to make it look like I’d been cut there. Ishut one eye and gritted my teeth. When they saw me their eyes widened in horror. JungKook put his hand over his mouth and Namjoon dropped his pack. “Selena, oh my god!” He cried. Icollapsed and they rushed over to me. They were so frightened, Icould see it in their eyes when Ilooked into them. “There were…” Ibreathed heavily. “6 men…” Itook in another fake shaky breath. “They jumped me...Iwas so scared.” Iforced a tear from my eyes. Isaw Jimin  , who was leaning over JungKook shake his head in disbelief. “They were so strong, Ithink I’m going to…” Icoughed dramatically. “Iwon’t…make it…” Iwhispered. Istarted to close my eyes. Namjoon grabbed my spare hand and squeezed it tightly. “You can’t! You can’t leave us like this Selena! Please, pull through! We can save you. Don’t give up on us yet!” Tears poured down his face, and Jimin  and JungKook’s too. Iclosed my eyes and slowed down my breathing. Itook one big gulp of air and stopped breathing. They cried out in horror. “Selenaaaaa!” They all cried. Ifelt them put their heads on the sides of my body, and they just sat there and sobbed. Iopened my eyes slightly, and then smiled at them, but they didn’t notice. Suddenly, they all moved to my face. Iclosed my eyes quickly. Someone brushed their hand against my face, to move my hair out of the way. Ifelt their faces getting closer and closer, until all three of them were kissing me. JungKook kissed my left cheek, and Jimin  was on the right. Iopened my eyes quickly and Namjoon was kissing me on the lips. Jimin  and JungKook moved away and stared at me in bewilderment, but Namjoon still kissed me, with his wide eyed face. I pushed him until he fell on his back and I crawled over him. I laughed as loud as I could. Then I looked at JungKook, Jimin  and Namjoon. “Y-you’re not dead?” He asked me quietly. Isat on his chest, but I didn’t put all of my weight on him. “Nope!” I said as I leaned my head to one side. “I tricked you! This is what you get for leaving me behind and not telling me about this!” I erupted in laughter, and I fell onto Namjoon. We all erupted in laughter. Jimin  was drowning in laughter and I heard JungKook snort. That only made us laugh even more and they tackled me. “H-hey!” I cried out. They tickled me furiously. “Stop, stop! I can’t…breath! PLEASE!” I screamed. We just tickled each other until we were all tired and we sat down on the floor. Then, simultaneously, all of our stomachs growled loudly. We all laughed again and then Jimin  got up to go start cooking our breakfast, and JungKook went to go help him. Namjoon started to organize the blankets and cleaned everything up. I, on the other hand, left to go rinse off all of the blood and dirt and whatnot. I waved to Namjoon as I left and I quickly found a public shower house. It was 3 blocks away, but I’ll be okay. I brought a towel with me and some clothes to change into. I pushed open the doors of the shower house and instantly, steam hit my face. It was so steamy in there! I quietly tip toed around until I saw an open shower. I locked my clothes in the safe that went with the shower. I punched in a code and stepped into the shower. I undressed myself and hung my clothes on the back of the door. Then I closed the door and the water. I should’ve stepped out of the way when the water poured out, because it was so cold. I almost screamed but I covered my mouth with my hand tightly and then waited as the water got hot. I was so relieved, I quickly started to clean myself off. Iwashed my hair and then quickly finished by apply conditioner and rinsing it off. Then Igrabbed my towel, wrapped it around my body and stepped outside. It was a little colder than Iexpected and a chill went up my spine. Ichanged into my clothes inside the shower and then dryed my hair. It took about 30 minutes with the blow dryer. Ilooked at myself in the mirror. My hair, was a complete mess. It was so frizzy. Icursed at my hair and began brushing it some more, but it didn’t help. Ilook hideous… Itold myself. Iwaited in line for the straightener and girls looked at me like, “What’s wrong with her hair? Oh my gosh, it’s so frizzy!” And Igave them a look that said, “Iknow. But you don’t have to stare, now do you?” The line went down quickly. and before Iknew it, Iwas the next person. Iwas so happy when Isaw a professional hairstylist there to help us with our hair. She kind of looked surprised when she saw me but then she waved over to me and Isat in the seat. She got to work right away. Ilooked at myself in the mirror and my hair was perfectly straightened. “You’re hair is incredibly long.” She told me with a smile. Istood up and Iturned around. The ends of my hair reached to my , and Ilooked at it in awe. “Inever even realized how long my hair is. It’s usually curly all the time so it gets like 4 inches shorter than it really is.” Iturned to the stylist and Ithanked her with a smile and a hug. Then Igrabbed my belongings and exited the shower house. That was a nice experience. Itold myself. Then Ihurried home. “Let’s show off my hair.” Itold myself quietly. When Iwas at the doorway to our hideout, Ikicked open the door in a badass way and Isaw that everyone was in the ‘living room’. Then Idid a y hairflip and asked the 3 of them in a seductive voice, “How does my hair look?”. It was only 3 seconds after the question when Iburst out in laughter. Idon’t do that kind of stuff. It makes me laugh everytime Itry to. The 3 of them laughed nervously. “Your hair looks great. Really great.” JungKook gave me a thumbs up. “Yeah, it’s so long!” Jimin  chimed it. Namjoon fully turned his body around and smiled at me. “It really does looks amazing, Selena. You should straighten your hair more often.” He told me. Iran over and sat next to him. “Iknow! It’s so pretty, but we don’t have a straightener.” Ipouted and made a sad face. My hair flowed behind me as Iran, and then it settled down in a tiny pile on behind my . Then Ihad a great idea. “I’m going to braid it!” Iyelled. It came out louder than Iexpected and they looked at me like, “What?” before they continued to eat. We ate until we we’re full and then we cleaned up. JungKook had to carry an extra bag because of the bowls, spoons, forks, and some pots. Isat in the corner and waited for Namjoon. He had some experience with braiding, but not a lot. He brushed off his hands on his pants and then began brushing my hair with his hands. His were gentle yet firm. “Fishtail or regular?” He leaned over my shoulder to ask me. “Fishtail.” Ireplied. He smiled. Fishtail was his favorite kind of braid, because he was an expert at braiding it. He could braid it so quickly, even faster than me. Plus, he likes how it looks. “It really does look like a fishtail! So cool!” He would always tell more after he finished. This time, he was even faster. Before, my hair was curly, but now that it’s straight, he can work with it easier. My hair tightened and then he whispered to me, “Done.” and Istood up. “How does it look?” Iasked JungKook and Jimin  . Ispun around in a girly way and admired my well-done braid. “Selena, honestly. Everything looks good on you.” JungKook laughed and he scratched the back of his head. Jimin  gave him a little playful punch on the shoulder but he agreed too. “You’re so pretty, you could rock anything!” He pumped his fists in the air. Iblushed. “Nooo way! I’m not pretty! If there was another girl in this group, you could see that. I’m below average!” I insisted. They shook their heads. “No!” Iwaved them off, but then Igrabbed my pack. It was time to get back to work.
