Split

Out

All three of us dropped off but Lucy woke us up just before the test started, at 9:30am. Two girls and three boys were sitting inside the egg-cubicle thingies. The test started and we watched them for ages. The girls both finished and one of the boys also did. The other two were taking longer. I already knew that as soon as you finish, the test does all the workings out and determines your perfect ability. Only one boy was left and he was kept in the hall while the -Villes were announced. This is it, I thought. I took a deep breath and stared at the boy and the tester. 

'You must stay in this room and a guard will take you to your new place,' the tester whispered to the boy, but loud enough for me to hear.

'But where am I going?'

'I hate to tell you this, but you didn't get an ability.'

The boy looked shocked and said, 'I was never told you could fail the test! Where will I go then?! Do I have to stay here forever?'

'No, this will be your last day in Start Ville - like the others. You will be going to....' I couldn't hear what she said. She whispered it too quietly. But we found out something new. Then suddenly, a big man marched into the room and grabbed the boy by his wrist. They walked all the way to the edge of Start Ville. The the man pushed the boy off! I was watching round-eyed and my mouth wide open. When the man left, we discussed following him down.

'We should go. Why did we come here in the fisrt place?' I said.

'Hmm... Well I don't think it's a good idea. Whatever YOU do, I'm not going,' Lucy said, evilly. 'I'm leaving now.' She smiled slyly.

'What? Why are you ditching us?!' Kelli shouted.

I told Kelli, 'She's a traitor...'

'I didn't want you in the Room of Glory in the first place! I wanted you to go. And now it's been done,' and with that, she sped off.
