Chapter seven: Revelations part 1
Why did I not stop him?.... Was I ever that....spineless!?.
I questioned myself over and over again but it was no use, I didn't stop Cody from leaving and now he was gone from my life and everyone else's.
Will I ever see him again?....
I sat huddled in one of the four corners in my room, trapped within a Cage of my own doing. The beautiful scenery of the Ocean I painted across my walls looked obscured beneath the blanket of darkness that I purposely kept, to prevent me from seeing memories of a time when I still had a family. I didn't know how long I stayed in that position when someone abruptly opened the door and entered without any consent.
"What have you been doing all this time Sinon." A familiar voice said through the open door, letting the light enter my dark Room, revealing A simple mattress and a few pieces of furniture that were simple yet functional . I slowly raised my head from my arms and looked at the girl who I considered My friend and the only person left from my past.
"Hey Vi what are you doing here.?" I asked my voice raspy.
She sighed. "Is this about Cody, because you've been locking yourself up ever since That Guy up and left without warning, are you okay?"
I slowly lowered my head again but vi stop me, using her palm to raise my head so she could stare into my eyes.
"Talk to me sinon you know I've got your back." She smiled sadly.
"I talked with Cody just before he left." I replied flashing my own weak smile.
Without warning Vi grabbed my shoulders her fingers digging into my skin.
"What did he say!?" She blurted which made me feel confused at the fact that she too was worried about him.
I thought Vi hated Cody...
"He made me promise not to tell anyone that's all..." I trailed off when she let go of my shoulders and lowered her face hiding her eyes beneath her pink locks. Vi remained crouching in front of me for a moment before finally raising her face to meet my eyes.
"That idiot really knows how to make us worry huh." She chuckled but I could tell that she was holding something back but she refused to release it. I nodded at her trying my best to decipher the enigmatic emotion she kept in check. Vi stood up and walked towards the light switch and flicked it on, making me flinch from the glare fluorescent light. As my sight adjusted I couldn't help but look at the pink haired beauty that has been my close friend since I lived in Hokkaido japan long before it was leveled by the machines. She was in every way beautiful from the contours of her body to her face which makes any guy fall for her charms. Compared to me she's virtually a goddess who happen to grace me with her presence but I don't hate her because of that, in fact she is my only Girl friend who doesn't get sick with me when I begin to babble non stop.
"I see your mood has changed for the better, care to join me for lunch? it would make up for the synthetic meal's lack of flavor greatly." She laughed.
"Sure, why not..." I replied just as my stomach began to complain.

We arrived shortly at the Cafeteria which Benedict Fondly called The place where synthetic food comes to die. We made our way towards where Michelle, Riley's girlfriend was handing out the synthetic rations of some pork steaks that were odorless and not very appealing.
"I don't know How long I could stand this kind of food." Grumbled beside which made chuckle nervously hoping Michelle wouldn't hear her. She put a lot of effort making the food taste good so it wouldn't be so bland.
"Hey Sinon, Vi how's your day'?" Michelle beamed as she handed our rations.
"Crappy as usual the guys from Team five kept sending me love letters." Vi replied with an irritated expression.
"You should really get a boyfriend Vi, thanks to Riley I had to only deal with them a few times." Michelle chuckled.
"So can I have him then?" Vi said with Impish grin which made the three of us explode with laughter.
"what about you sinon had any problems with any unruly men?"
Michelle suddenly asked wiping a tear from her eyes.
"Not really, no one bothers me except Rick but he's only goofing around while Benedict is kinda like A big brother, always helping me out." I replied as I took a piece of steak from the ration bag and popped into my mouth.
"Ooo looks like we have love triangle here." Teased Michelle which made Vi snort trying to hold back her laughter.
"It's not like that!!!" I blushed.
"Then why are you turning Red as tomato then?" Michelle grinned.
"I-its perfectly normal." I crossed my arms and pouted.
"what? To have two boy pining for you at the same time." Michelle teased.
I sighed. "I don't see the two of them like that... I see them as friends.....as siblings that's all."
"Alright no need to drop the whole serious talk there Sinon I was only joking." She chuckled nervously.
"It's okay I just hate being teased that's all I am not angry at you Michelle." I assured her with a smile.
"Hey ladies how's it hangin." Riley said as he made her way to michelle's side.
"hope you weren't talking about me." He chuckled as he placed his arm around michelle's shoulders.
"Still being a prick Milo?" Vi Said with smile.
"Can't improve from perfection." He chuckled.
"Forget what I said earlier Milo you've changed, from that little prick to an insufferable douche." Vi snorted which made everyone laughed.
"You wound me my lady thou art hurt thee one's feelings." He replied feigning Sadness.
"R-Riley?..." I trailed off as all my friend's eyes were upon me.
"Yep sinon what's the matter?" He asked turning serious.
"I need to tell you something...."
