Descendant (divergent fan fiction)

Guilty

    "Will you talk to me?" Noah asks in the middle of the night. I don't know how he knew I was awake cause I didn't know he was.

    "How did you know I was awake?" I ask not even looking at him through the bars that separate our heads.

    "I don't know." Noah answers honestly.

    "Me neither." I state. "I don't know why I don't talk to you. I don't know why I care so much. I just don't know anything anymore."

    "I don't know if I do either. But tell me when you figure out." Noah agrees.

    "Why do you care what I care?" I ask in a hushed voice.

"Because I care." Is all he says. I smile a bit to my myself.

"Goodnight Noah." I say quietly.

"Night Harper." Noah says and I can tell he is smiling too. Why? Why was I smiling?

"Harper wake up we have to be in the training room in 15 minutes!" I hear Bianca scream for the third time. "You get her I need to brush my teeth, really bad."

"I don't wanna wake up." I mumble throwing a pillow over my face as Noah sits on my bed staring at me hopelessly.

"You really need to get up." Noah says softly. I groan loudly and open my eyes fully.

    "Will Logan use a scratched arm as an accuse cause that's what I'm willing to pay right now." I ask as I sit up on my bed.

    "Scull." Noah corrects.

    "Oh yeah, right." I say as I stretch and rub the sleep from my eyes.

    "Is she up!" Bianca yells from the bathroom impatiently.

    "I'm getting there!" I call back as I pull myself from my bed and open my drawer full of clothes. I pull out a black tank top and black leggings and take them to the bathroom to change. When I come back out Bianca and Noah are waiting for me and we start a walk to the training room.

    "Is she still asleep?" I hear my dad say as we walk past him in the hallway.

    I breathe heavily and reply for them. "Yeah, I think so."

    "Well wake up I think Scull is starting combat today." Dad says.

    "I thought that was in another week or something, Four?" Bianca asks.

    "For me it is but Scull plays by his own rules." Dad answers.

    "Oh great." I say sarcastically.

    "Have fun." Walking past is toward the transfers training area.

"Mhmm." I reply rolling my eyes. When we get to the training room Scull is already up at the chalkboard pairing us up. I search for my name which is at the top.

"I just want to see your skill level today." Scull says as he turns around and everybody searches the board for their name.

Harper - Avary
Noah - Jake
Falcon - Bianca

"Ha! Bianca you got a guy!" I laugh and turn to Bianca who stares at me evilly. I pull my hair up into a pony tail and walk up to the arena. Avary has reddish hair and sharp eyebrows that will make her look mad 24/7. She wraps her hair in a bun and squares up her shoulders and starts to circle and I follow her lead. Avary tries to kick me on the side but I grab it and send her hitting the floor. And she doesn't move.
