"You are dismissed. Luke will escort you to the waiting area." You see the man named Luke and he strides out of the room expecting her to follow. You barely have time to see the examiner's computer and how it have loads of pictures of DNA with numbers scattered randomly, before you have to go striding after Luke.
The waiting room feels like a metal cage suffocating you. The boy sitting across from you is the only other human in the room. He looks about the same age as you, about 10 years old. He's not looking you in the eye which is a good thing because if he did it might mean you have to speak to him and right now, even rustling in your seat seems far too loud in this dead silent room.
Finally, Luke comes in. His footsteps slicing into the silent air. However he doesn't spare you even a glance. He strides right up to the boy like you are invisible. He says that the boy was negative and there is relief on the boy's face. Luke leads the boy out and you sware you can see the spring in the boy's step. The door screeches shut after them leaving you alone in the deathly silence.
Eyes closed and head resting on the back of the chair, you could sink off to sleep save for the pounding footsteps that echo around your brain like gunshots rebounding again and again. You open your eyes to find a women standing in front of you.
"Come." She says then walks away without another word. Not even her result. Oh no this is bad you have to go, you have to get far away from this place as you can. You approach the sign you passed three times on the way in. To the rocket.
You run. Run as fast as your tiny legs will go. It was a stupid decision. Of course they would have people posted on every corner. You see the big silhouette of Luke up ahead and try to skid away but the momentum makes you carry on straight into him. Luke has you in a firm grip, there is no getting away now. You give up. Your result is positive.
