"GET UP FLORES."
"Do we seriously have to take her?"
"Yes, Gabby. We do, She is the key element to our team, you fucking idiot."
"You don't even know if she wields the power we think."
"I don't care. What I say goes at the end of the night."
"She's a heavy sleeper—"
My body shoots up and I grab the first thing I can. My chest heaves, breathing heavy as My stinging eyes flicker across the room. "What the hell?" I hold my beating heart.
Gabby, Lauren, and a few other girls are huddled by my bunked bed. Celina is the one I am holding onto. "Fucking hell, Flores, If you were being targeted you would die straight away, with the way you slept through all of that."
"Why are you all in my room? Are you the one targeting me?" Panic shoots up my spine and I retract my hands off her arm and sprawl my body backward, ignoring the heavy feeling in my eyes.
If I get caught with this many people in my sleeping quarters passed curfew I will be punished severely, and that makes my dinner swirl around in my stomach, And my heart to beat in my ears.
"You all are going to get me killed." I state, breathing far heavier than I was before. "Calm down, Flores, We aren't going to kill you, nor get you in trouble." Gabby rolls her eyes.
"Get your shit together." Celina commands, In a way that makes me jump to my feet and start to do just as she told me to. "I am together." I breathe out, trying to convince myself.
"Remember what I told you a few days ago?" She asks, in a whisper. I nod hesitantly. "How could I forget?" I retort.
"Good. Now I will tell you everything you want to know, but first you need to pack your shit and leave with us as quietly as possible." She orders. I shake my head. "I don't know what you mean, and where the hell you're taking me. So no fucking way."
"You are leaving this place." An unfamiliar, deep voice echo's from across the room. My heart jumps, and I do too. "Who is that?" I ask, grabbing onto Celina's forearm and digging my nails into the soft flesh.
A mysterious figure approaches from the darkened depths of the room, They are far taller than any other girl in this room—A boy?
My heart spikes and I do the only reasonable thing that comes to mind: I grab the first thing I can and immediately chuck it at the boy, and bolt to the farthest place in the room from him.
I accidentally bang the lower of my back on my vanity causing a sharp pain to shoot up my spine, and cramp. "Shit."
"Damn it Flores." Celina sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose.
Laughter erupts from the other side of the room, revealing another boy—This one has black hair, styled slightly towards the side. Dark brown eye's that crinkle with his smile, And Asian features.
