∞CHAPTER TWENTY NINE∞

The door still hasn't unlocked. "Can I go?" I ask.

"Yes, but you are expected to go to assembly room one to await further instructions and information."

"Okay," I push the door open. "Wait!"

"Yes Miss Parker?"

"Are my friends okay?"

"I can't answer that."

*****************

I'm one of the first people of the second group in the assembly room. The first thing I did was look for my friends. Out of the twenty one left, it's not hard to find Anna, Erik and Bree.

"Oh my gosh, you're here!" I hug all three of them at once, squishing Bree in the middle.

"Yep!" Bree laughs. "And so are you!"

"Of course we are!" Anna grins. "Nothing could get rid of us!"

"Clair isn't here..." I say, looking over the small crowd of people.

"Yeah, she's gone," Erik says.

I go to reply when Jason walks into the room. "Jason!" I squeal. "You're here!"

"Wouldn't miss this party," he laughs. "Nate here yet?"

"Not yet."

"He'll be here soon."

"I hope so," I sigh. "Don't worry about him. He's fine. He'll be here."

"Okay. How did your sim go?"

"Well since I'm standing here I guess it went well," he sighs after I give him a look. "But it was tough. Ended with my worst fear."

"Same for me."

"Me too," Anna says.

Bree and Erik nod.

"Abilities now. Wow. What will it be like?"

"Amazing."

"Terrifying."

"Weird."

"Fun!"

"Oh thank goodness you're all alive!" Jen yells from across the room. She comes running.

"I knew you'd be staying!" I laugh. "You're the brave one."

"That is correct," she laughs too.

"Mind if I join the party?" Shaun says, coming up from behind me.

"You did it!" I hug him quickly. "And people keep calling this a party..." I laugh again.

"Well it is! We should all be celebrating!"

"Your sister..."

"I know," he says. "It's okay."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, she's just going home, why should I be upset? I'll see her in like a year."

"Glad you're here man," Jason pats him on the shoulder.

"You too."

"Aria! Jen!" Melody's voice come from the doorway.

Where are Nate and Carrie?

"Hey Mels!" Jen waves. "Glad to see you!"

After talking for awhile longer I see Nate in the doorway. I run up to him and hug him, burying my face into his shoulder.

"What? You think I wasn't gonna pass?"

"Of course I knew you would. I was still worried."

He laughs at me. "You worry way too much for the average teenager."
