Who am I?

Chapter 2

This morning I woke up to Amber singing in the bathroom, I guess I'm not the only one who does that. I sat there on my bed for like 10 minutes, I felt a bit tired but I will be fine. As I was sitting, I looked around his room. There weren't much decoration not color, It's mostly plain colors but what caught my attentions most are his closet and a desk near the window.

I walked up to the desk first, I saw a cologne, It was half full. I picked it up and tried to smell it, It smells like his bedsheets. I decided I would bring it with me since no one would notice it anyway if I used it. I then walked over to his closet the first sense that hits me was the cologne, not too much surprise there. I took out some of his hoodie, it felt warm and soft. I kept the hoodie and the cologne on my bed, I didn't want to take it without permission.

I then rushed downstairs to meet Amber, She was making breakfast, it's smell delicious. My stomach began to growl, I was really hungry. I grabbed a towel and rushed into the shower. For some reason she didn't even notice me.

"Hey? Um... May I borrow some clothes?" I said kindly while walking out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around me.

"I'm sorry but I don't have any left, after we packed yesterday what I'm wearing now is my last pair." She said.

"Oh ! Well if you don't mind may I use ur brother clothes then?" I said.

She nods and turned around to continue what she was doing. I felt bad that I'm at her house and I couldn't help her with anything.

I put on his hoodie and sprays the cologne on it. I grabbed the bag I packed from yesterday and run down the stairs toward her to see if I could help her with anything but she's already done.

" Come and join me, I made us an English breakfast. I hope you like them. Me and my brother used to eat this almost every morning until he left, There aren't much time so we will have to hurry." She said.

I tried to eat very quickly so I can do the dishes instead of her but we both finished at the same time. We both got up and helped each other clean the dishes.

" So... Um... I found this half used cologne of your brother. I really liked it, if you don't mind, may I have it?" I said. As I was that, I realized I'm asking her for so much things. I didn't even do anything to help her in return yet. The guilt punched me in the stomach but I try to ignore it.

"You can take it if you want to, I don't know how are you even smelling this. I don't like it but my brother wouldn't stop using it, he loves it" she said.

I put it in my bag and walked outside of the house for the first time. This neighborhood still looks scary in the morning, there are many dark road that leads no where. When we walked pass it, there was a whole bunch of people standing in line. We decided to join the line too. As we were waiting in the line, we made friend with a boy named Andrew.

He had blond hair that goes well with his sky blue eyes, his almost pink lips and his jawline. I would say he is attractive but I still wouldn't develop a thing called 'Crush' on him but I can tell something is going on with Amber, The way she looks at him, how she can't stop smiling, how she's paying so much attention toward him.

I didn't say anything while I was third wheeling them, I knew I wouldn't last long here anyway. When we got to the front of the line, we were supposed to get on the train and ride to the army camp I guess. I stared out the window the whole ride, I tried not to focus on whatever everyone is talking about. The sense of this hoodie and the views is perfection that I can't pass on.

We finally got to the place, It's very big. It has camp fire, gun shooting area, archery places, boxing rings, knife throwing board and stuff like that everywhere. As we walked in, we seem to catch people attentions'.

Amber rushed to hug a tall, handsome, good looking man. I think that's her brother since they have the same face structure and the same brown hair. She turns around and pushes me to meet him. He stares at me, I just realized why. I'm wearing his hoodie and his cologne, he must have think I'm weird or crazy obsessed with him.

" Hey Laurin, This is my brother, Zack. Zack, this is my friend, Laurin." Amber said.

We both didn't say anything. The silence was very awkward and he decided to break it.

"Um.. Is that my ho-?" He tried to say.

"Sorry to cut you but yes, yes it is and yes it's also your cologne. I really liked it, Don't mind me. I'm not crazy obsessed with you or anything." I said quickly.

A voice in my head says" I hope they hear me, I hope they hear me." Repeating inside my head over and over again.

"Okay, I will be your trainer from today, everything you do you have to tell me and you have to do whatever I say.I shall show you where you will be sleeping." He said. His voice is deep and very... Very... I don't know but I liked it.

We followed him inside the room, there aren't much space, there were only 4 beds. It must be special. He gave us the rest of the time to sleep and told us to wake up tomorrow morning to explore the place.
