The Girl With The Dragon Eyes

Chapter 3

Walking straight in I see all 15 sat at a large rounded table.

''Now good looking, you ready to start?'' Romeo questions but Drake stops him.

''Wait one question, Can you remember our names?'' He asks and everyone looks confused at his question but I just simply nod.

''Go on then'' He states waving his hand.

I just point at name the ones around the table ''Kai, Camden, Drake, Ava, Mason, Lucas, Emma, Scarlett, Willow, Tara, Kaitlyn, Autumn, Wade, Romeo, Lorenzo'' I simply listed off.

Drake laughs and nods ''Yeah well done, well are you ready?'' I nod again.

''Okay just look at the white wall and tell me letters'' He points and I see a white board that changes slides not a piece of paper with letters on it.

He presses a button a large 'B' showed up and I repeated it back.

That went on for a while the the letters go progressively smaller, they got so small that they looked like dots but I remembered Clovers words and forced my eyes to squint and focus on the words.

''D'' I say and the slides reach the end, I turn knowing that test was over and am greeted with shocked looks.

''What?'' I ask panicking thinking I messed up but Drake shake it off.

''Next test is your reflexes, Camden, Lucas and Romeo are going to throw object at you and you just have to dodge them'' I nod ''then if you pass that then you'll have to dodge them'' I looked stunned.

He nods to them and they begin at first it was easy then it got harder, all three of them threw thing at the same time but different heights, however not one touched me.

''Okay now dodge them'' Drake says excited.

They start throwing themselves at me but I still dodge, my mind was blank and focused.

''Okay stop!'' again everyone was shocked. ''Test three is your morals'' He waves to a chair ''Sit and we'll being''

They ask me questions like if I could have one magical power what would it be?

Obviously mine was to shape-shift, at that Drake, Mason, Kaitlyn and Romeo sat forward with smirks on their faces.

The questions continued like that also like if I had the power of fire what would I use it for? Good or bad? Which was asked by Kai and I said good which made him smile at me.

''Okay number three over'' Drake says and everyone sits back, at some point each one had reached forward waiting on my answer.

''Your strength'' Drake says and hands me a bag ''Hold this straight out please'' He says letting go.

My arms fall slightly from the unexpected weight but I bring it back up, I made no eye contact with any of them I just picked a spot on the wall in front of me and didn't take it off.

I then thought of other things like yesterday at lunch, my friends, my family and my old puppy. Legit I blanked out.

I was so focused that I when Drake waved his hand in front of my face it startled me a bit, but I saw the bag didn't move one bit, my arms however were burning bad.

''Test four over!'' He takes the bag everyone was watching me like I was a freak. ''Test five stamina'' He pointed to the treadmill.

''You'll do the jog first, stay however long you can we'll be timing you'' Drake says pressing a few buttons and making the treadmill start, I start jogging.

But instead of zoning out, all I could see was they're faces with the bag, my eyes got teary and my vision got blurred. My legs grew tired and I opened my mouth to say I was done but then I swear I heard Clover.

I remember what she told me and was filled with a new type of strength, I was going to show these people that I was not a freak just because I've probably failed all of these I was going to pass this one!

My legs grew tired and they burned but I was not stopping anytime soon, my breath was getting heavy so I focused on my breath following my steps, breath in on 1 and release on 3, and with that I controlled my breathing.

Sure it was still heavy but this time my lungs didn't burn so bad and I carried on until I legit couldn't.

''Enough'' I gasp and he shuts off the machine, covering up my time.

I stop and place my hands behind my head, opening my lungs as much as possible.

''In two minutes you'll do the sprint'' Willow told me with a soft voice as she passed me the water, I took small sips and readied myself.

''Okay time'' Kai informed us shooting me a apologetic look and I just nod, it's their job.

Getting back on the stupid thing again sending glares at the settings.

''I'm setting it to 14 mph but I'll raise it gradually'' Romeo tells me patting my back and I nod telling him my thank you, and he does raise it gradually. But once it hits 14 mph I'm sprinting for the life of me because if I don't I'll go flat on my face in front of 15 beautiful people.

When running I repeat both Clover's and Val's words in my head forcing myself to run that little bit further but then I reach my breaking point and start to slow down a little, I look over and Romeo shakes his head.

That give me enough to just give it my last bit and it feels like I'm running for an extra 10 minutes but it's clearly not because the whole thing is 30 minutes, I'd hate to actually see my time.

I start to feel my legs buckle but I force them the stiffen up and run a little more, I see in my head that someone was chasing me and if I stopped not only me but everyone I loved was going to die...morbid I know but it worked.

''TIME!!'' I shout and Romeo stops it and catches me when I fall.

He carries me to one of the chairs and sets me down gently,

''Why didn't you stop before you actually collapsed?'' Mason asked looking at me like I was crazy.

''It's a stamina test, meaning the longer I hold out the more seconds I get, it's not the give up if you still have more let in you it's the run until you can't anymore'' I say and he nods.

''You're still crazy'' He laughs and I giggle a little, Drake clears his throat looking at his notes.

''Okay ready for the results?'' He asks and I nod looking down.

''1) Vision you got 80/80 = more than Outstanding pass''

''2) Reflexes you got 40/40= more than Outstanding pass''

''3) Morals, you got 20/20= more than Outstanding pass''

''4) Strength you got 5:45 minutes/3:00= more than Outstanding pass''

''5) Stamina part 1, you got 20:35/5:00= more than Outstanding pass''

''5) Stamina part 2, you got 10:24/3:00= more than an Outstanding pass''

''You were in an 30 minute testing for just over an hour Brianna'' Wade said.

Everyone smiled but me, Romeo looks at me weird ''Do you know what that means kid? You passed everything with outstanding performance, none of us even did that!''

''Oh? So i'm in?'' I ask dumbfounded.

Everyone nods and I start crying I thought I failed!!

Autumn comes over and hugs me making me feel a lot better ''What's wrong Sweetie?''

''I thought I was going to fail and lose my only friends here'' I stutter.

''Well let me slow it down'' She says kindly but kinda cheekily.

''You passed Sweetie!'' She laughs ''Now you're going to have to go home and tell your parents you'll be coming with us''

I nod and Drake comes over and takes my arm ''Come on i'm the one escorting you so lets get going''

We all leave to tell our parent each with one governor.
