I stood there in front of the list that the principal posted ten minutes ago. My hands gripped on the backpack tighten as I could feel my hands already getting tired from the tenseness. My arms shook and my legs trembled. I ruffled my hair getting the strands out of my face is disbelief. My legs trembled as my lip quivered with my arms shaking and my foot tapping. My eyelids felt heavy along my eyes and the tapping of my foot increased. I swallowed hard as the veins in my neck stood out. My body tensed up as my shoulder blades rose up in stress.
"No. No." I said under my breath. Every girl had the same reaction as me as they came to see what the list was all about. We walk up to the bulletin board seeing what was new and important. Some of us smiled and some of us rolled our eyes as we walked up to the board as our eyes searched all over the list. Our smiles turned into frowns as our eyes widened. Some girls even dropped their books because it was too much and their arms gave up that quick. The boys were in the gym having an assembly about this. They were fed with information from generals and sergeants.This could not be happening to us.
I left the list and waited outside of the double doors that lead to the gym. I knew that the war was going on and I knew that we had to prepare for battle but I didn't think that they were going so low. They were coming to us.
The doors busted up with guys filling the hallways. Some where angered, others were rubbing there face as they couldn't process what they had just listened too and some came up to the plate and saw that this was right for them. I mazed my way through the puddles of boys all over the main hallway and searched for mine. Easton.
I ran up to him and frantically ran my eyes over his tall frame. My hands were still shaking as he noticed this too. He grabbed both of my hands into his and looked me straight in the eye.
"Carson, it's okay." He tried to console me but my hands were still shaking.
"No it's not. You're going to get drafted and I'm going to be stuck here without you and-"
"We're only going to get trained and after that if we really want to, then we can really fight in the war. That's what the people said back in the gym."
"I'm not ready for this. I can't live with this change right now." I said. He let go of my hands.
"Gaili, you sound like you are being the one being trained and going off to the base." He laughed. But I didn't.
"What is going to happen tomorrow?"
"We leave first thing in the morning." I let out a big sigh.
"Anything else?"
"No." I placed my hand over my heart to feel it beating rapidly.
^^^^^^^^^^
The next day Easton and I walked to school instead of carpooling. We wanted some time with each other alone before he leaves. I've been best friends with Easton since I was five. And now we're twleve.
"It's unfair that they told you guys yesterday don't you think?" I asked beginning my rant.
"Yeah, it's not doing me or my family justice."
"Or your best friend." I mumbled.
"Do you think you can make it without me for four years?"
"Like I needed your help for these six." I said.
"Oh please for these past six years I've helped you from your math homework from climbing a tree."
"Are you scared?" I asked.
"Sort of. I really don't know what to expect."
"These next four years are going to be complete hell with these prissy drama queens." I said.
"Yeah but aren't they you're friends?" He asked.
"Barely."
"Yeah I get where you're coming from. I have to spend four years with these wanna-be's who think they're something but they're not."
"Do you think you are going to make it?"
"Yeah. Maybe I'll get some more muscles on the way as well." He flexed for me as I laughed.
"More?"
"Yes more Car. More is better."
^^^^^^^^^^
By the time we reached school grounds, it was surrounded by three buses waiting to collect all of the boys. Easton walked up to the black plastic doors of the buses where a tall man was standing next to it.
"Name?" He asked strictly.
"Easton Erics." He said in a stern voice. I giggled at this.
"Grade?"
"Six."
"Okay say your last goodbye young lady and then get to class." I nodded as I swallowed hard. I licked my lips and turned to face Easton. He already had his arms opened for me to hug him and with that I hugged him so fast it looked like I jumped. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he snaked his arms on my waist. I snuffled a bit as he stroked my hair. My heart raced as I pulled him closer to my body and tightened my arms. I felt tears running down my face as it spilled over his blue shirt.
He must have felt the wetness on his shoulder area and pulled me in closer as well. He was hugging me too tight but I didn't complain that I couldn't breathe. I didn't care at the moment. All I cared for right now was for him not to get on the bus.
"Make it stop, make it stop. Please." I whimpered in his ear.
"I'm sorry. I can't this time." He whispered back into mine.
"Please?" And that's when a felt a single tear drop on my shirt.
The man had to pull us apart.
"Don't forget about me." I begged.
"Never. I couldn't if I tried." He swore.
"Better not. Oh and write too." I sounded like a little kid.
"Promise." And with that, we both crossed our hearts and whispered hope to die. I smiled a bit even though I was dying inside. He climbed the first step of the bus, looked back and waved. I waved too smiling at him.
And then once he was one the bus finding a seat, I broke down in sobs. I couldn't contain myself. I couldn't stop it or help it. It just came down like a waterfall. Sniffles and small whimpers came from me. I wasn't the only one like this. I looked up to Levi staring at me. Then he kept
walking so he would paste me. Giving me one last single glance he climbed on the bus as well.
Then the bus left.

New Story. I wanted the prologue to be kind of vauge and short since the real story itself will have more information. Remember they are only twleve in this chapter and they certainly did not know any better.
This prologue is dedicated to JessGirl93 for that amazing last chapter of The Bad Boy's Girl for making me feel emtions that I knew I never had inside of me. I adore you to the fullest. It's hard to actually make tears stream down my face over a fictional character but you did it. And with that, I salute you(: Have a great day everyone.
