Broken

Chapter 2

I got back to the dorm and got ready for bed my pyjamas were loose and soft with wear. I flopped on the bed and picked up my book. 'Allegient' the third book in Divergent trilogy, it might be considered to be similar to 'The Hunger Games' and 'The Maze Runner' my fave books of all time. In come Emerald and Lily
"I bet it's to see our personality and I bet they can determine how well we'll do by our clothing!" Lily babbled excitedly. I Interrupted their conversation.
"No." I went back to my book a smirk playing on my lips.
"Mmmm- what?" Lily realised what I had said.
"I said, no" My smirk widened into a grin, although I don't know why "It won't be that"
"You're probably right."
"Like usual."
Emerald and Lily continued to chatter but I ignored them and went back to my book.
Lily and Em talked for another half-hour until I had the last straw.
"GOOD NIGHT" I said loudly and promptly turned the light out. I could sense their silent confusion melt into realisation and had to stifle a snigger.

I woke up to the sound of excited giggling. I sat up bleary eyed and confused until yesterday's events washed over me. I groaned and dropped back onto the pillows. I lay there for a minute until the giggling got to much and I rubbed my eyes and say up. I saw Em and Lily sitting on their beds opposite each other talking a bursting into fits of more giggles it was getting on my nerves real bad so I grabbed my clothes and stalked into the bathroom shouting at them to shut up behind me.
I emerged wearing a similar outfit to yesterday, just without the cap and my jeans were leather. My top was a crimson version of yesterday's. I picked up my sword and strapped it across my body to my back and laced up my boots. I picked up my schedule, Beautification, I groaned it wasn't as if I didn't like it but I didn't feel the need to 'beautify' myself either.
"Let's go" I said. Em and Lily went out and just as I was following caught another glimpse of icy white in the School for Evil. My heart wrenched, but it wasn't him, it couldn't be... I shut the door behind me and joined my friends outside. I managed (barely) to get through Beatification and dragged myself to Princess Ettiquette. It was every bit as boring as I expected. I was heading to lunch with Em and Lily, Liz had joined us too when Professor Dovey stopped us in the corridor. I gave my friends a puzzled look and followed her.

"Ashley, I understand that where you come from fighting is part of the culture" began Dovey.

"Yes, if it's the sword I can take it off if you want" I said.

"No, no, quite the opposite. Although your ranking in your first ettiquette lesson wasn't bottom or top we feel that you would be more comfortable in self defence class with the boys" She told me

"Are you serious? I would love that, thank you so much!" Dovey smiled.

"I'm sure you know by know where the classroom is, you begin tomorrow. Enjoy your lunch." I smiled and left.

I literally ran all the way to lunch grabbing my food and finding my friends.
"Well, someone seems unusually ecstatic," remarked Em, smiling.

"Professor Dovey said that instead of Princess Ettiquette I can do Self Defence with the boys I was shouting in their faces. I looked their shocked faces and burst into laughter.
"Who would have thought! Our moody Ashley actually laughing and being ecstatic!" Joked Liz. Eventually my excitement subsided and I managed to wolf down my lunch. The rest of the day passed quickly. History answered a lot of questions as I knew next to nothing. But Surviving fairy tales was boring because I could already do that and made that quite clear. Finally I flopped into bed ready for the next day.
