The Day Human Kind Were Taken

School like Cult

Then night passes in a flash. I slept quite well for the first time in what seemed like ages. Well until the alarm I didn't set woke me up.  I  swipe my wrist band knowing my entire day was planned on the small holographic screen.

 Wow. They really had this kidnaping planned to a point didn't they. I move to my closet to find a back-pack with my name across the front and two dress bags. One said schooling uniform and the other PE uniform across the white fabric. The clock on my wristband read 7:15. Breakfast was in 15 minutes. I open the schooling uniform to find a pair of thin grey pants, a bright red shirt and a jacket made from the same material as the pants. Both the pants and the jacket had two red stripes down the sides and the jacket was embroidered with a red B. At least in wasn't that ugly I told myself as I slipped it on. The material was surprisingly soft as well.  All the red was going to get annoying even my trainers were bright red.

After an abusive ride down to the hall in the tube lift I looked around for Siddi. there were a lot of people already in the hall all wear the same grey uniform or what I assumed to be the PE uniform. A red quick-dry shirt, grey shorts with a pair of red stripe down the side and grey trainers that had red soles. I sigh more red. I continue my search for Siddi, I didn't feel like sitting alone and she was the only person here I had meet. I spot here near the right front corner, her curly hair piled on the top of her head. I grab a tray, grab a bowl of porridge like slop and a bottle of water before making my way over to her.

"Hey." I say nervously,  not sure if she wanted me their.

"Hey."

I take that as an invitation and sit down across from her.

"How are you?" She asks so quietly I could barely hear her.

"Alright, I guess." I say unsure. "This place is creepy though."

She doesn't say anything else for a while. I stare into my porridge wondering if I said to much. It tasted a lot like traditionally porridge but there was strange dried fruit mixed into it.

"What do you have first" I say in a half assed attempt to fill the quiet. 

"Personality, what about you." 

"Elementism"

She gives me a hesitant smile and I give her one right back. We were very aquward but she seemed very nice.

"Sad were not in the same class." I say with over the top sorrow in my voice and end it with a silly pout.

She giggled and nodded. My smile widens.

"Siddi Lander" she says suddenly. "My human citizens account, Siddi Lander."

Almost as quick as she said it I was following her account and sent her a smiley face. She giggles again and send a pokey out tonged face back. By now we were both laughing, the awkwardness subsiding for a moment. 

A bell trills through the hall followed by the word 10 minutes till first rotation. My head darts up.

"I guess its time to go" I sigh getting to my feet.

Siddi nods ruefully and waves goodbye. Personality block was the furthest away class so I returned both of our trays before heading to the classrooms. The hall to the classrooms was short and the door to Elementism was open. Several student were already inside, the most noticeable was a set of blond haired twins. I move toward them  before they give me the stick eye and decide to move  as far away from them as possible. I end up sitting a row from the from on the left side. Settling myself into the chair just as the teacher walks in. She was a tall women wearing an intimating sharp edged dress suit like outfit with her dark hair pulled into a tight knot at the back of her head showing her slightly pointy ears. So she's an elf I think to myself, I half expected one of their short green or giant grey people to do it. That's who did all of the dirty work after all.

The teacher taps a wooden dole against the wall activating some kind of screen and the already pretty quiet room falls silent. This place really did seem like a really strict school. It made me wonder how the adult were going, were they doing classes too? What about little Thomas? My thoughts were quickly swept away when the women began to speak. Her voice demanded attention and radiated authority. 

"Hello class" she says shrilly. 

I could tell that she didn't want to be here.

"You will call me Ms. V and let me tell you now, you know nothing." There wasn't even a hint of ignorance in her voice, she said it if it were just a sad fact. But still ouch. "So cast away what you think you know and listen to the truth"

This was sounding more and more like a cult.

"Get out your W-pad please"

Everyone turns slightly confused. I assume we were given it and unzip my bad. Inside there way in fact a tablet like piece of technology. I turn it on and a blinding flash emits from the tablet. Welcome Isla was now written on the screen. It must have scanned my face or something.  If it did that every time these classes were going to be hell.
