The Eight

2

When we get down town for my send-off there are a lot of people I have seen at the rebel meetings.

I am wearing the clothes they provided for me, black pants, white shirt, and I have to wear a sunflower in my hair. I was told I could choose my shoes so I just grabbed a pair of old flip-flops I have had for years and you can tell.

I go to say goodbye to my mom first. "I know your dad finds this business but I want you to have fun and try your best. Also, be careful. I love you and I don't want anything to happen to you and please keep your opinion to yourself." She says tears falling.

"I love you mom and I will do my best, be careful, but I can't promise the opinion one, sometimes I act before thinking." I hug her and move to the triplets.

"Are you gonna be in the castle?" May asks. "Yes."

"But I thought the castle was a no. I thought it was a prison that should be destroyed." Matt said.

"You are so smart. I'm going to do a job in there. I will miss you all." I hug them and move to Miles and dad.

"Remember stay on the down low." Dad says hugging me. "You don't know me that well do you?" I tell him. "Bye Miles." I hug him. "I'll see you when we attack. You have nothing to worry about so you will look tough." He says squeezing my shoulder.

When I finally make it to Miley we hug each other so tight. "I will miss you so much." She says. "Don't say that I'll be coming back soon." I tell her. "Not too soon." Dad says sternly. "Bye, love you." We said at the same time and laugh.

I walk to the front of the crowd and wave to everyone then hop in the car that's taking me to the airport.

I am the first one to the airport. Then two girls come at the same time. "Hi, I'm Ashley!" She holds out her hand. "This is Morgan." Ashley says and I shake Morgan's hand. "We are both Fours."

"Hey. I'm Molly I am an Eight."

"Oh my gosh your the eight! I heard there was one. You are the lowest caste, there are some fives and sixes though."

We all sit on a curb. "So why ain't we leaving?" I ask them. "There is suppose to be someone else I think." Morgan says.

"Well I vote we leave her." I say standing up. "And why would you leave the only one with class and the next queen. I'm Bianca" Says a girl with long blonde hair and about a whole stick of lipstick on. She clicks with every step in her heels.

"Yes all make way for the queen of fakes and sluts. I thought you had to be a virgin." I say curtsying while Ashley and Morgan laugh. If looks could kill, Bianca would have had me six feet under with her stink eye.

"Come on girls." The pilot of the plane says. I follow Morgan and Ashley on. When I am walking on Bianca steps on my shoe so I trip and my flip flop breaks. "I guess you should buy stronger shoes." She steps over me.

I take off my shoes and throw them at her. "Ew" she flings them off her to who knows where.

"Where are your shoes?" Ashley asks me. I shoot Bianca a look and she nods her head. "I have an extra pair." Morgan says and then sorts through her bag. She throws me a pair of sneakers.

"You can't help her. They don't even match." Bianca whines. We just roll our eyes. "Thanks Morgan." I slide the shoes on and they are the best things I ever had on my feet.

The ride to the palace is full of chit chat, I got stuck sitting by Bianca. "Do you have any siblings?" Ashley asks us.

"I have one sister." Morgan says. "I have an older brother, twin sister, and younger triplets." I tell them and everyones eyes widen. "What are your parents doing starting they're own army!?" Morgan asks and everyone laughs.
