"Wasn't even sweating"?!? What was I thinking?
Now, I'm defiantly sweating. My limbs sore from all those "tests", I hobbled back to my dorm. And I thought he said it was just the simple, easy ones today!
Ugh, tomorrow I'll have to be tested again on who-knows-what. I just hoped that at least I didn't flunk it as badly as I thought. And, after lunch break, I have to "test my abilities" yet again for the weaponry. I dreaded just the idea of having to walk all the way back for even more tests.
I reached into my closet and found the clothes that the assistant at the counter said would be provided for me. As I put on my new clothes - more like the uniform for probies - I searched through my mind for any mention of where I can finally get some food.
Still, I remembered nothing of him saying where we can get our lunch.
But truthfully, I could barely understand anything he said if it wasn't basic English (he has a very strong accent). Apparently, most people here spoke two languages; English, and Plaçæn. You were also required to learn Français, but it's a dead language.
I gave up trying to figure out whether the assistant- so much for being assistive- said where I could finally get lunch, so I decided to walk around the campus.
As soon as I stepped out the door of my room, I crashed into that teenaged guy from earlier. "Hey! You're that newbie, right? Have fun!" He chuckled to himself and walked down the hall to the stairs. He turned left, away from the stairs to another hall as he laughed obnoxiously again.
It was at that moment that I decided to put him in the annoying-jerks-to-be-punched list.
"Why are you following me?" He asked as he turned to face me.
"Because I am" I replied without much thought.
"You aren't answering my question" he said, obviously not used to people not answering him directly.
"So what if I'm not?"
"Because I'm talking to you!" He said getting more frustrated.
"So?"
"Do you know who I am?!?" Now, yelling at me with fury.
"Yes, the annoying, unreasonable guy who is currently yelling at me for walking" I answered.
He stood glued to the floor with nothing else to say, mouth opening about to say something. I pivoted around with a grin on my face and walked back to my room, leaving him rooted there.
Well, apparently some of the people here seriously don't know how to deal with their life. I sank back into my bed, wondering if there really was even a life out there for me. My smile vanished as quickly as it appeared.
At that moment, I remembered something that someone told me long ago. "There isn't really anything there, you are just trying to believe that there is".
Those words echoed in my head like ancient memories long forgotten. Swirling around my thoughts, becoming a hurricane of words.

Ok, so as usual, I have been very busy with making my Halloween costume, cooking for that Thanksgiving party tomorrow (yikes), and of course- school work.
Anyways, I'm starting this thing where you can advertise authors/books on my message board. I'm trying yo find new books and new authors so I won't mind if you put 20 advertisements. Just make sure you put the author and the book title so I can find it easier.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! 😄😋😆
