She watched as she students groaned, slumping their shoulders. One of the leaders decided that he had to speak up as he raised his hand. "But that isn't fair. We worked very hard in order to get our food. You can't just expect us to hand it over to those that don't deserve it." He said to her and Tina just shrugged her shoulders at him.
"Well what can I say. Life isn't really fare. And I am offering you my leadership skills when you don't deserve it either. I am also endangering myself by placing myself at the front. if it wasn't for me the lot of you won't make it far before you are mauled. So how is that for being fair?" She asked.
The students were silent as they didn't say anything and Tinas couldn't help but smirk in triumph knowing that she had gotten the upper hand.
"Like I said before everyone should gather their rations so that we can divide it properly." She said and this time the people didn't protest. Instead they began to gathered together the food which mostly consisted of berries and placed them in front of their former team leaders.
"You know that I am your protector and if we are to get in trouble it will be I who has to risk my life. So you should be grateful that I am even willing to help you out." She said to them as she chastised the fact that she was the one doing the rest of them a favor.
She watched as all of the teams finished gathering the food before placing them in small piles in front of them. Dick and Gloria seemed to be the only ones who hadn't gathered any food.
"well before we can distribute the food I believe that I should inspect it in order to make sure that it is good enough for all of the members of the class to eat and it isn't poisoned. That is what I am willing to do for you as your leader." Tina said.
Dick observed her knowing that she was up to something but he didn't say anything. She took a step towards the first pile of berries before she took a handful of them and plopped them into her mouth.
Tina scrunched up her face as she spat it out. "That was sour, are you trying to give us belly aches. I will have to try a few more to be sure." She said as she took a bundle into her hands.
She moved onto the next group who had managed to gather some curved green fruits. She took one of the fruits from the pile as well before she made her way onto the next pile. She carried on that way examining each pile as she took some of the food that they had.
Once she reached dick and Gloria she gave them scowls. "Where is your food?" she asked them. Dick only shrugged his shoulders at her in response. They had been too busy doing other things for them to worry about gathering food.
"Why am I not surprised that the two of you were unable to carry out a simple task." She hissed. She turned towards the rest of the students. "You see guys when I tell you that there are some that we are going to have to be pulling their weight around here. Well I am talking about these two." She called out.
Gloria ignored Tina's teasing as she turned her gaze towards the pile of food in Tina's hands. "So what do you plan on doing with all that food that you stole from the other teams." Gloria fired back.
"It is none of your concern what I do with it. After all the rest of us are now forced to carry your weight because you were unable to get any of your own food. That is quite selfish of you. So as the leader of this group. I believe I should be compensated for my troubles. For having to deal with losers like you." Tina said.
"What are you talking about?" Gloria asked through gritted teeth. Tina pointed towards the pile of food in her hand. "Well I mean that I get to eat the most delicious picks from everyone's pile.
The students let out groans as some of the leaders began to call Tina out telling her that it isn't cool for her to do that. "Do you guys have something to say? After all I am the one risking my life out here for you?" She asked.
None of the students dared to say a word. Too afraid of how Tina would react. She was much stronger than them and she wasn't afraid to act out and do something irrational.
When no one dared to protest Tina looked to them with a grin. "Good. I am glad to see that we are all on the right page. You all know that it would be foolish of you to fight me because you just wouldn't win. And besides like Ms. Mary said we have to stick together." Tina said mischievously.
The group of students watched Tina with gritted teeth. Although they were angry at her and her demanding tone they didn't say anything about it. They watched as she ate the delicacies that she had stolen from the other teams letting out moans occasionally in order for hewer to emphasize the fact that she had won.
Once she was done she let out a loud burp as she rubbed her hand over her stomach before letting out a sigh as she turned towards her classmates with a wide smirk on her face. "well now as your leader it is my job to plan where we are going to be heading next. Ms. Mary where were the wolves spotted and presumed to be heading?" Tina asked as she turned towards Ms. Mary.
Ms. Mary spoke up instantly as she said, "The wolves were seen to be heading west so I believe-," as she started to say it Tina didn't let her finish as she shook her head.
"well no one cares what you believe after all you made it clear that I am the one who is in charge. So we will be heading east. Now because that is the furthest distance away from the west and it means that we will be have the greatest chance of avoiding them and not having to run into any risks." Tina said and the other students all nodded their head at her in agreement.
Her plan made sense to them but the only problem with it for Dick was that it put too much distance between them and Ms. Mary. Dick turned his attention towards Gloria. He knew that if he were to be the one to suggest it to Tina she wouldn't listen to him and so because Gloria was on the same grade as Tina she was more likely to listen to her.
Dick decided to use the bond that he had with Gloria to his advantage as he grabbed a hold of her shoulder and focused her gaze solely on him.
