Chapter 2

When I stood, I realized too late the water had turned my white underwear translucent. Not only that, sand gathered in the seat, dragging them down. I cupped the front of my crotch and glared at the girl, who watched us openly. “Can you turn around or something?” I asked.

“It’s nothing I haven’t seen before,” she grumbled, but she crossed her arms in front of her and turned her back to us.

Quickly, I hurried over to where my haversack lay on the sand. I had to brush more sand fleas off it, but the items inside appeared to be uninfested. I dug out a clean pair of underwear and stared at the girl to make sure she wouldn’t peek while I changed. From the corner of my eye, I saw Kyer getting dressed, too. I really wished it was just the two of us on the beach. Then I could have watched him change, or even started something that might have ended up with us “doing it,” as the girl had asked so rudely.

But I didn’t dare take my eyes off her. Every now and then, she sort of turned her head to one side, as if flipping the hair out of her face, but I knew she was trying to sneak a look.

When I had switched out my wet underwear for a new pair, I snapped the waistband in place and glanced at Kyer. He had his pants on again, and was shaking the sand from his tunic to put it on, too. “All right,” I admitted grudgingly. “You can turn back around.”

She gave an exasperated sigh and swiveled on one heel. She saw Kyer, fully dressed now, and me still in my underwear, and a sardonic grin spread across her thin face. “You’re still half-naked. What, you want to do it with me now, or something?”

I grimaced at the thought and bent to pick up the clothes I had shucked off so unceremoniously a few moments earlier. “Hell, no. Who are you, anyway?”

“Who are you?” she shot back. “I’ve lived here all my life and have never seen either of you guys here before.”

“Is this your beach?” Kyer asked.

She glared at him. “It isn’t yours.”

His question had been a simple one, but she obviously chose to misinterpret it as a challenge. “Calm down,” I said, shaking my pants to make sure any lingering sand fleas were gone. “We just came over the bridge last night and were too tired to walk any farther, okay? We aren’t looking to fight.”

“Over the bridge?” She glanced behind her at the bridge in question, and I took the opportunity to pull on my pants without her watching. When she turned back around, her dark eyes were narrowed into suspicious slits. “I don’t believe you.”

“I don’t really care,” I said.

Kyer spoke up. “It’s true. We broke the window in the Collection Center and escaped before the barrier came down to seal us in. Then we ran before the Overseer could send Officers after us.
