We hear the bell ring in the distance and finish our breakfast quickly. We grab our food containers and throw them in the trash before heading down to the courtyard for our free hour. Khloe yaters on the whole way to the courtyard. We get funny looks from a pair of Highers as we pass them. I wonder why until I realize im sweating. I quickly try to mop most of it off my forehead. Why is this happening? It couldnt be a...No ive got to forget that...it was a one time thing. The Highers assured me that It would never happen again. 'Noone has ever had a panic attack before you and hopefully would never after you' they said. They told me everything would be fine, but would it? Throughout all of my inner turmoil, I keep my head down and avoid talking to Khloe. Sensing something is wrong, Khloe links her arm through mine.
"Hey girlie, you ok?" she whispers to me.
"Yeah, I just don't feel too good."
Her eyes widen like saucers and she asks me if I'm joking again. I realize how much I must have scared her and nod feebly. To be honest, I'm not sure if I am joking, my chest feels really weird. I take deep breaths and wish away the feeling.
"Wanna know my position?" Khloe asks me.
"Yeah of course I do!" I lie.
She takes a deep breath in before continuing.
"I'm a Seeker!"
My heart plummets and let out an exasperated sigh. She's a Seeker. That position was meant for me. There is only one place for each age group and she stole it. She stole it. She stole my placement. The only thing I was excited for. The only thing I was allowed to be excited for...
I feel her grip tighten on my arm as my legs go numb. I hear her voice in the background of my mind, she is calling my name and begging for me not to make a scene. I try not to but the floor seems to call my name louder. Not this again. Please...
This is my last thought as my knees give way and I faceplant the floor.
Not this again...please...
