Humanity's last breath

5. I am dead

"Yes! 89 out of 100" I celebrated waving my test paper in the air. I leaned over Travis to see his results.

"64 out of 100?" He mumbled "I am dead"

"Aw too bad" I ruffled his curly mess of a hair even though I know he hates it "Now you will find out how it feels to be in detention for the...."

I thought for a moment before Natasha helped me out "23rd time?"

"It hasn't even been a month and you've been to detention 23 times?" Lucas smirked at him "You've probably broken the class record, weirdo"

Travis stared long and hard at Lucas. To put it straight, Lucas is the kid that predicted our death the first time he saw us. How nice.

"So Lucas, what did you get then?" I asked hoping he got less than me.

"90" he said proudly knowing that he beat me by one point.

"Actually..." Phoebe cut in "That says 89, can't you read?"

Lucas' smile dropped in embarrassment as our table laughed at him.

"You thought you could beat me! So you lied" I laughed harder

"Whatever" He rolled his eyes "At least I have Parker, isn't that right?" Lucas elbowed Parker who was also sat on our table, quietly reading his test to himself as he ignored Lucas.

"And I have Travis, Natasha and now Phoebe" Me and Phoebe high fived each other across the table.

Lucas turned his attention to Natasha "What did you get? 60?"

"Quite bad actually, I thought I could do better" Natasha said. We all turned to her quite surprised as Natasha is the class genius.

"Ha! Losers" Lucas threw his fist into the air in triumph.

"I got 97" We all started chocking over what she said. 97 out of 100, how is that even possible?! "I thought I got all of them right, obviously not" She sighed.

"Your joking right?" Travis asked

Natasha's devastated smile turned into a smile "Yeah, I got 100 percent"

This time the whole class heard and turned to Natasha in disbelief. There was just silence as he blinked at her very slowly waiting for her to say 'I'm joking!' but obviously she didn't.

"Well done Natasha Everit, now carry on checking your tests class" Captain Hunter said from his desk, looking over some documents.

Yes, Captain Hunter was still our teacher as Dr Maylee was also killed before she got a chance to step inside her classroom. For now Captain Hunter takes charge of our one hour classes when he's not in action while General Mathews tries to get an actual teacher.

Lucas leaned over the table and whispered to me "I'm going to beat you in the physical, just you wait"

I narrowed my eyes at him "Challenge accepted"

-

It was now the physical tests and I was literally the last one to fight. I watched as Danny blocked Eva's attack with her arm and flipped Eva onto the floor.

Whoa, someone's got skill.

"Good, who's up next?" Sargent K asked

"Me sir" I stood forward.

"Last one... who would like to volunteer to fight again?"

"Me!" Travis volunteered

I turned to Travis "No you're not"
