WHAT IF? (THE 5TH WAVE)

The squad part 2

******Pic of Narcissus btw********

I walk threw the door and it closes shut on its own. It was a small room with 3 bunk beds on each side of the wall and a door which looks like it may be the bathroom with a night stand in the center. I'm guessing that's were I put my stuff.

"Hi"

I drop my stuff and turn around to face the source that made me reach the moon.

"Oh, sorry about that, here let me help you with that." he was a blond haired kid with blue eyes and freckles, he looks about 12. He reaches down and starts to pull my bags lying on the floor.

"No, its fine I just didn't notice you there." I say pulling my bags as well.

"That's your bunk" He says pointing toward the bottom bunk to my right side " You could put your stuff under."

"Thanks" I mumble as I do as told

"So," I say unpacking my stuff. "Whats your name?"

"Short Cake" He says leaning against the wall opposite to mines

I chuckle at his response "No, I mean your real name?"

"Oh you mean before the whole alien thing, yea, its Allen."

I nod my head as I stuff my book-bag under the bottom bunk.

"Yours?" He asks

"Cassie, but they call me breeder here"

"Wait then that means that-" I stop him because I know what he's going to say "No, it's just some stupid name Vosch gave me because I care about my brother so much I guess it looks like I'm his mother."

"Oh cool u have a brother, where is he?" He says looking around from were he stands.

"He's not here, Vosch decided to separate us, he's in squad 53 now."

"Oh yea, Vosch could be a pain in the ass and it sucks that he's the one that trains us so your going to be seeing a lot more of him."

No please tell me he's joking

"What?!" I say turning to face him

"Yea so try not to make him mad" Too late for that.

Now I wish I had never talked back. I know he'll try hard to make everyday fell like my last.  Just what I need.

"So how old are you, you look pretty young?"
I ask trying to change the subject. I don't really want to think of all possible ways Vosch could end me. So far I have him ripping me limb from limb and poring acid over me and dropping a piano over my head.

He looks taken by surprise by the sudden change of subject and fixes his posture."I'm 14, you?"

"16"

"You must be Breeder"

I turn around to find two kids by the entrance door. One was a tall kid and the other was a skinny little boy who must weigh 90 pounds with coal black hair and blue eyes The tall one was the one who asked though, he ways a brunette boy with blue eyes as well.

"Yea, and you guys are?"

"The names Narcissus and this is tooth pick." He nods toward the kid beside him.                                           
Yea I can see why. "Hi" He says,"hey" I say giving him a short smile.

"But my real name is Blaine and his is Ethan" Narcissus continues.

"My names Cassie"

"I know" he says rolling his eyes like its something everyone knows "Oh and I spoke to Reznik and she wanted me to give you this" He says as he reaches into his pocket ans pulls out a folded sheet of paper.

I rushed his way and took the paper from him. I unfolded it and skimmed threw it until I found what I was looking for. A cold, I had a cold. She said it wasn't a big deal but I shouldn't try anything that could make it worse.

I let out a breath and threw away the paper.

"You should try to keep your distance from me though" Narcissus says as he lays on one of the bunks across from me. "I don't want to have a runny noise and look like the undead." 

I look at him confused"You read my record?"

He turns to look at me from his comfortable position. "Yea why wouldn't I?"

I look at him like hes the worlds greatest idiot, wait that's not accurate since 2/3 of the worlds population is dead.

"I have to know what I'm getting into if you stay" He continues."also know your 16, and have a 5 year old brother in squad 53 and your mother died of the red death." he finishes and grins at me.

I stare at him in complete utter shock.

"Wanna play trivia?" He asks still grinning like a mad man.

Now I just start glaring at him until Short Cakes decides to step in front of us.

"Okay that's enough," he tells Narcissus who chuckles. "Ringer will be back in a while and you know she doesn't like when you act, well, Narcissistic."

He huffs at his statement "I'm not scared of Ringer, she's all talk but no action."

"Oh really, how about the time I twisted your arm, or the time I gave you a black eye, was that all talk?"

She was a girl, I'm guessing the one they call Ringer who stood in front of the door, a hand on her hip.

Narcissus looks real pail for a second and shuffles to his feet but then manages to look like hes unaffected by her statement and sits back down. "You know I was just kidding, right?" He mutters turning away from her.

"Yea, right" She says sarcastically rolling her eyes until she notices me."You Breeder?" It felt like the hundredth time someone asked me that but I manage to answer without any annoyance."Yea"

She nods and walks towards me pealing off a paper stuck onto the wall." Okay Breeder I'm guessing Vosch already told you about the basic rules so I'm just going to tell you my rules." She says now standing in front of me.

"One" She says as she starts reading from the list "You are to always listen to your squad leader"

"Which is..?"

"Narcissus" She says without looking away from the paper.

I look at Narcissus surprised as he looks away from my gaze. You'd think Ringer was in charge by the way everyone respects but fears her at the same time. Even Narcissus knows when not to mess with her.

"Two" she says as she continues"You are to be up by training hours every morning. Three, you are not to do anything that can get you or your teammates in trouble. Four, you are to never help any other squad unless we allow it. Five, you are to leave the bathroom clean and spotless, I'm not going to live with pigs."

"cough, Tooth pick" Narcissus 'coughs' out as tooth pick turns to glare at him.

"If I were you I wouldn't be talking." Short Cake replies as Narcissus glares at him.

"FIVE," Ringer says loudly and everyone turns back again "If you want to take a bath you are to wait for your turn and bring  your own towel. Okay I'm done I'm going to bed, night." She says, crumbling the paper and throwing it away and then turning back to climb up the bunk on top of mine.

The rest of us sit there not knowing what to do until Ringer turns around "I said, I'M GOING TO BED, GOOD NIGHT"

We all scramble to our bed except Narcissus who rolls his eyes and slumps back on his bed and soon enough the lights are shut off and darkness surrounds us. Its going to take a while to get used to this.
