Clover's POV

I watch Robyn nervously. She whispers words to herself, hugging her knees and rocking back and forth. She's been like this for the past 15 minutes, flinching when anyone tries to touch her.

I look over to Olive and she sighs heavily and then locking eyesight with me. She scoots her body over to me, silently and then puts her mouth up to my ear.

"I'm really worried." Her voice shakes as she says it and I put my hand on her knee. She smiles at me and then focuses herself back at Robyn.

The teachers managed to move Robyn's limp body into a spare room, to get away from the crowds that had been watching. They thought about not allowing Robyn to do her performance in the dance competition but Robyn fought back. She hasn't said anything since.

"Don't you have your Hearing competition soon Clover?" Olive says loudly trying to get Robyn's attention. She peers at her silver watch on her hand. I look at my own and realise we only have 5 minutes till we have to go. I open my mouth to say something but I get interrupted.

"Guys, I have to do something. I have been made to do it. But I need to stop it." Robyn suddenly says and lifts her head up to look at us. She has tear marks down her face and her makeup that she put on at the start of the day has now smudged.

"Do you know how to stop it, Robyn?" I ask her and her dark eyes look at me.

"Yes. But I need to find the Headmistress. Do you know where she might be?" She asks, getting up slowly. We get up also, following after her.

"You could try looking for her in her office. I doubt she would be watching any competitions." Olive says and we head for the door. I grasp my hand firmly on the handle and open it. No one seems to be around and the hall is mostly quiet.

"Clover, I'm really sorry I can't watch you in your competition but I need to sort this out. I'll see you after to congratulate you." She winks at me and walks away. We watch her until she's out of sight.

"You ready?" I hear Olive say behind me and I turn to face her.

"Yes."

******************

"Is Clover here?" A man asks and I put my hand up to say I'm coming. Olive grabs me by the shoulders and presses her forehead against mine. I smile at her sudden seriousness.

"You've got this!" She says and we both laugh. I wave her off and join the rest of the people in my competition. I don't recognise anyone and no one seems to be talking to each other. I take a deep breath and a teacher comes over to us.

"Everyone, follow me!" He says and we trail after him. I look at the playing field and it looks like a forest. Trees tower over the grass and in the middle of the playing field is levitated platforms in a circle.

"Oh boy," I say to myself, trying to take in the scenery. Many others around me are amazed as well.

"Ok, take your place in the coloured circle, corresponding to your badge." The teacher says and he walks away from us. I look down at my badge that had been pierced into my clothing and notice its an orange colour. I look around for its matching circle and find it in between a Red and a Pink circle.

I step on it and a blue shield goes up in front of me. I'm the first person to get into my circle so everyone know understands what's going to happen.

"WELCOME TO THE HEARING TESSSSTTTTTT!" Someone screams through a loud speaker once everyone gets onto their platform. A curtain goes up and a crowd watches us. I spot Olive cheering.
