Who am I?

Chapter 3

I woke up early this morning, I had a nightmare last night, I didn't had much sleep either. I didn't know what to do this morning since I was the only one awake, I forgot Amber's brother name that he told me yesterday. He might think I liked him although I didn't.

I walked over to Amber's bed, she still asleep, she looks very calm. I can tell she is having a good dream since she is slightly smiling. I didn't want to wake her from her good dream so I decided to go for a walk outside the room. I closed the door quietly hoping not to disturb anyone.

When I left the room, the hallway I was in was pretty dark, no lights were turned on. I walked over to my right, toward a place that has light so I can see better. This place was huge, I think there might be echoes here.

I walked outside, I'm in daylight again, my body feels fresh. The cold air brushing against my body, I shivered. I breathed in and out from the fresh air. After a while I felt footsteps walking towards me from behind. When I turned around, It was my trainer, Amber's brother. He looked at me for a while, I couldn't keep the eye contact, I don't like him but something about him makes me nervous so I tried to break the silence.

"Good morning" I said.

"Morning, What are you doing out here? Why aren't you getting ready yet?" He said with a straight face.

"Oh, um... I didn't know much about this place, I'm afraid I'll get lost" I said with a shaky voice.

He looked at me, His face looked like he was shocked to here me say that. I think it's because I told him I didn't know this place maybe everyone around here knows this place well.

"In that case, you must be new. Where did you came from? Are you a spy? By the way what's your name?" He said.

"What spy? And yes I am new here. I didn't know how did I get here. My name is Laurin." I said trying not to sound awkward.

He must have forgotten my name like I forgot his name too.

"Alright I'll believe you for now, go back to your room. Amber will show you around when she gets up." He said.

I began to notice that he sounded sleepy, I giggled to myself. As he was walking away I realized that I forgot his name so I ran towards him and grabbed his wrist. He looked at my hand on his wrist then he looked up at me. I must be an idiot to do that but I reacted too quickly without thinking. I quickly released his wrist, I tried to look at him but I felt a bit weird.

"Umm, I'm sorry, I reacted too quickly." I said with an awkward voice looking downwards.

"It okay, just think before you act next time. What do you want to ask anyway?" He said with a slight smirk on the corner of his lip.

The way he smirked at me and the tone of his voice while saying it send a pang to my stomach.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again. I forgot your name when we first met. Mind telling me your name?" I said.

"Lets just hope so, My name is Zack." He said.

I waved him good bye and walked back to my room. I began to notice his eyes, they are beautiful blue glistering against the sunlight. I laughed at myself and continued walking.

When I opened the door, Amber and her boyfriend I supposed were already ready. I walked over to Amber.

"I thought you left us when I woke up, where were you anyway? You should probably go get ready now." She said with a relieve sigh.

"I woke up from a nightmare and I couldn't continue to sleep so I decided to go for a walk. I met your brother and he told me to ask you to you show me around the building." I said.

"Alright then, get a pair of clothes. I'll show you the shower and around the rest of the building." She said with a smile on her face.

I nodded. While we were walking towards the shower room, I noticed how simple this place is. It doesn't have much color and not much decorations either. It's plain but it looks very warming.

I got into the shower, I was smiling in the shower for some reason. Why am I happy this morning? I'm not usually a morning person. I tried to keep myself from singing. When I got out, I got dressed into my new clothes. I feel clean again.

As Amber was showing me around, I remembered somethings around here. From my room, to the right is a field but to my left leads to the center of the whole place. To remember the center place, there is a statue of knives, guns, a flag ( maybe representing the clan or group or camp ) and a bow.

There were a couple of path that leads elsewhere like the cafeteria, the shower, the boxing ring, the gun field, the bow field, the knife throwing field and one big path that leads to the control room that we aren't allowed to go to.

At breakfast the three of us sat together. I looked around and spotted Zack sitting with a bunch of other trainers ( I think ). His muscle looks relax and calmed. When I turned back, I noticed that Amber was looking at me the whole time. She smiles at me so I smiled back.

After breakfast Andrew went to the room first. Me and Amber were walking around the field I was in with Zack this morning.

"I saw you looking at someone this morning at breakfast. Are you interested in someone? You can tell me, you know?" She said with a bright smile.

"No No, I'm not. Well I was looking but I wasn't interested in anyone. I was just trying to explore the place." I said quickly.

"If that's so, Well it's fine. I'm just letting you know that you can trust me." She said.

I can tell that she doesn't believe me. I hope I didn't accidentally blush or something.

"By the way, My brother said we aren't doing anything yet today. He also said that since it's just day two, we should try to get use to this place first, training will starts early tomorrow morning" she said.

I nodded and gave her a small smile. I didn't know what to do for the rest of the day so I just went to bed to let time pass.
