Gally's a Dick

I can already tell that today is not gonna be a good day. I was enjoying my breakfast with my usual little gang when Alby comes over to tell me that I'm working with the builders.

I wouldn't necessarily care under normal circumstances, but since Gally who is known to be the moodiest glader is the keeper, I know it's gonna be a rough day.

Minho and Ben find my unfortunate news hilarious and tease me relentlessly the whole way through breakfast about how hard my days gonna be. Dickheads.

Newt sends me a look of pity, so at least someone feels bad, and Frypan assures me that Gally's not that bad.

I know he's trying to help but Gally seems to be a lot nicer to Fry than anyone else. I'm guessing that they're the closest in the glade.

We finish eating and I make my way to where the builders are gathered. I see Gally setting up.

"Hi Gally, I'm here to work".

He turns to look at me, and yes you guessed it right, he's still frowning whenever I'm in his presence.

"Good, you can help build your hut. Use that hammer over there, get some nails, and use the wood I've put in that pile to build your storage chest. Try not to shuck it up and stick to the blueprints I made", he explains, pointing to the pile of materials and handing me the blueprints.

"Thanks", I turn around and see he's already walked off.

Right I can do this, just follow the blueprints. Atleast he's already cut the wood into the right sizes for me.

I set to work, eager to make it as perfect as humanly possible so I don't piss off Gally. It must take me just over an hour, but you can't rush perfection.

Just as I finish up, another fellow builder walks up to me. "You've done a good job greenie", he says to me, giving me a smile.

"Thank you, I crave praise", I reply.

"I'm Jacob, nice to finally get the chance to talk to alone". He holds out his hand which I take to shake. Then he does the unexpected, lifts my hand up and kisses it, grinning at me.

I'm gonna overlook that and pretend it doesn't bother me that someone placed their lips on my skin WITHOUT my permission. Don't ask why something so little bothers me, I have no valid reason.

"So, how are you finding the glade?", Jacob asks, sitting on my storage chest.

I just built that and if he breaks it, I'm going to stab him with the broken pieces of wood. I did not just sweat for over an hour building this for someone to use it as a fucking chair.

"It's alright", I reply shortly. I just wanna find out what I can build next.

"You know what would make it better?", he asks, giving me a smile I can only describe as creepy.

"What?"."Going out with me".

I stare at him completely baffled. "Excuse you?"."Oh come on. I find you hot and you no doubt find me hot, give me a chance, you know you want to", he replies smirking. I wanna slap that smirk off his face or better yet, carve it out with my pocket knife.

"I have literally just met you so I'm gonna pass", I say, looking at him in disgust. What a freak. He must be delusional if he thinks I'm going to go out with someone I met a second ago.

"Ooo playing hard to get, I love that", he says, moving closer towards me.

"OI YOU SHANK, QUIT FLIRTING AND GET BACK TO WORK", Gally bellows, causing Jacob to immediately leave.

I turn to Gally in relief. I've never felt so happy to see him since I've been here.

"Hey thanks for-", he interrupts me, seeming completely pissed off."Don't flirt with my builders when they're supposed to be working greenie!", he shouts at me.

"EXCUSE me?! He came over to me!", I argue."You're finished for the day, you can go"."It's not even LUNCH ye-", he cuts me off AGAIN, which only frustrates me more.

"I DON'T CARE. LEAVE!".

I'm not even gonna reply to that. I'm so angry I could skin someone alive right now, so I leave before I can make anything worse.

What a dick! And to think I was gonna THANK him for getting Jacob to leave me alone.

I head to the showers since everyone is working, meaning no interruptions and then make my way to the kitchen.

I spend the rest of the day working with Fry and telling him what went down. He's a great listener and says that Gally was probably just in a bad mood.

I call bullshit on that because the guy has been nothing but cold and awful since I came here. Apart from the one time he said 'thanks'.

I spend the rest of the week trying the rest of the jobs.

I'm not opposed to being a Medjack. I'm good at patching people up and Clint and Jeff are easy to get along with.

The Baggers is the most boring job ever. Unless there's a body to deal with which I find disgusting, they just "supervise" the rest of the Gladers.

The Sloppers is a job I really don't want. I hate the thought of cleaning shower drains and toilets and animal blood in the Slicers hut.

The Gardeners aren't bad. The keeper Zart is real nice, plus Newt likes to help out there. The fertiliser smells foul though.

Despite all of the options, I'm really hoping to become a cook. The vibes are better there. Me and Panini are bonding great, plus I like the control I have over the boy's meals. If anyone pisses me off, I have the power to poison them.

On the last day, Alby holds the meeting which decides which job I get with all of the keepers. I talk to Fry just before he goes in and tell him I'd really appreciate it if he fought for me to be a cook, and to my delight, he said he was already planning on it.

The meeting lasts around half an hour before Minho walks out to collect me.

"So, what job am I getting, the anticipation is killing me", I ask.

He just gives me a look of amusement. "You have to come inside to find out".

"Just tell me now and I'll pretend I didn't know. I'm a great actress". "Sorry Shebean, I'm under strict orders to not tell you. Alby's the leader and he would throw a tantrum if he wasn't the one to announce it", he replies, not looking sorry at all. Rule abiding bastard.

"Fine, hurry up, I'm not patient enough for this", I say, grabbing his arm and speed walking into the hut.

As soon as we walk in, we grab the attention of everyone in the room. (All eyes on me, in the centre of the ring just like a circus- sorry got possessed by Britney again😖).

"Welcome greenie, please sit", Alby says, gesturing to a chair placed in the middle of the room. They definitely interrogate people in this chair, there's even fucking chains on it, kinky.

I sit down and look to Alby, ignoring the stares I'm getting from everyone, and especially not looking in Gally's direction. He's such an asshole.

Alby starts talking. "All of the keepers have had a chance to talk about your skills and most seem to agree that you're a hard worker".

It doesn't take a genius to figure out who didn't agree with the others and probably put me down the most in the meeting. If it isn't obvious, I'm talking about mad eyebrows over there, sitting with his usual scowl.

"After a lot of consideration, and one person in particularly practically threatening violence if he didn't get his way, you're now a cook", Alby finishes.

I look to Frypan and mouth 'thank you', which he replies with a wide smile and a thumbs up.

I look to Newt who looks relieved I got what I wanted, Ben who looks like he's already scheming to get me to give him extra food, and Minho who looks just as giddy as I feel.

I turn back to Alby "Thank you Alby!", I say excited as the others begin to clear out.

"You're welcome greenie, I've never seen Fry more determined to have someone as a cook. He even scared some of the other keepers who wanted you with them", he says chuckling, causing me to giggle.

He begins to walk out but glances at me one more time. "Well done on working hard with the slicers by the way. Not many can stomach it and some don't even bother trying, I'm impressed", he says, and leaves.

Today I have discovered a few things. One. Frypan can actually threaten violence even though he's seen as soft as a marshmallow.

Two. Gally's a Dick with breath taking anger issues.Three. I have a praise kink. Thank you to Alby for bringing that to light.

Author's Note:

I successfully managed to write another chapter and with any luck I'll be able to publish another one today.

Also this is random but I'm reading this Gally fanfic and I read a comment where someone was saying how they once read a fanfic where the author kept spelling Alby as Ably which had me cackling. So everytime I tried to write Alby for this chapter I kept accidentally writing ably which had me giggling.

Sorry for rambling, hope you enjoy the chapter xxxx
