In the Draft

Chapter 1

4 more days. 4 more days until everything changes. 4 more days until my new life begins. 4 more days until I leave everything I've ever known, anyone  or anything I've ever loved, to start a new. 4 more days. 4 more days until everything changes.

"Hello? Hello?! Earth to Sam?"

"Oh! Yeah? Sorry."

"Will you chill out? Everything is gonna be fine. We're not dying. We're just going on our Draft. It's 4 days away."

"Yeah, you're right. Sorry, I'm just a bit nervous."

"How are you a Green Eye and nervous?"

"I don't know."
That's what I've been wondering, I thought. Julia shook her head, her blonde hair slipping over her shoulders. She is my best friend, I feel that we should share the same or similar feelings with us knowing about the Draft coming up. We should be easing each other nerves. Getting ourselves ready. Sharing our thoughts and feelings. Right?

No. It seems like I'm the only one freaking out here. Why me? I'm a Green Eye. The daring and brave. The adventurous and courageous. Maybe Julia and I should switch. Although I don't fit the description of a Hazel Eye either. I'm not wise or witty. But, I am reserved. Still, I have no right to run the council like them. Gosh, I would be terrible at that. Coming up with the solutions to the societies problems, preparing Corin for the Draft, providing so much room for dilits. I just wish it wasn't so hard to leave my friends; Julia, Piper, and Ky.

My mother said I should have just made Green Eyed friends,to make the departure easy for myself. So that I could leave for the Draft with my friends. Become dilits with my friends. Live with my friends. But, no. I'm just difficult. Because, it's hard to do those things when all of your friends are a different Eye Color. A different destiny, a different ending.

While I'm a Green Eye and Julia is a Hazel Eye, Piper is a Brown Eye. She also has firey red hair,which is always in a braid, that looks so earthy and warm with her eyes, deep Brown. The  fighter, The kind that never gives up, tough, puts their power of strength, speed, and endurance to serve the help of others. Blood-born warriors.

Ky is a Blue Eye. Mysterious and curious. Charming and a bit of a know-it-all. They are the teachers, doctors, scientist, researchers, and scholars, The Keepers of Knowledge. Ky loves being a Blue Eye, but, would be a Green Eye. No clue why, but, hey. That's him. You just never know. His Blue Eyes compliment his jet black hair which was always fashionable messy. Simple to sudden, as Julia puts it.

We among the teens our age probably dread the Draft Day the most and everyone in our sector knows it.

Julia, as you probably figured out, is a Hazel Eye. She, is probably the most prideful of us all when it comes to Eye Color. She makes it very clear, for her father is part of The Council and her mother the Mayor of our sector. But, secretly, I think she is jealous of people like Ky, the Blue Eyed. They get to learn knew things and teach others. They get all the information first. If you ask her, she'll tell you that she loves her Hazel Eyed family and will recite the Hazel Eye Creed. Which, is very long so I suggest you not, to be honest.

"Ready?" Julia asks. Her eyes looked glittery and her blonde hair a more silver. We're going to meet the other two.

"Yeah" I say as I force a smile

"Hey dolls!" says Ky as he slips his arm over my shoulder. Piper smirks at us and Julia waves and proceeds to the counter to order food at Dendi's. Don't get any ideas. We're not dating, that's just Ky for you. This has been our public meeting area since we can remember and Piper was always hungry. Not that should be a surprise to anyone. Piper could eat everything, and if you let her, she probably would. Yet she is so fit that it is scary. Piper is not afraid to show off her body. I on the other hand, don't. I'm not fat or chubby, in fact, the contrary. Just a stick. That is one of my nicknames actually. I don't ever seem to gain or loose weight, which isn't necessarily good either, but, I'm not a Brown Eye so I don't really need to pay attention to my weight. Although the Draft is coming up- No Sammy. You are not going to think about the Draft while you have time to be with your friends now. All in all, I ever seem to gain weight.
