The instructor furiously tried slapping the boy. He evaded and watched the instructor fall to his knees. The instructor furiously left the place. I walked over to the boy, he looked at me and smiled a bit
. "Do you happen to know where we are?" He asked a bit confused
. "District 9." I answered
. "I know that but, I mean my body is always doing things I don't. Want it to do."
He complained then looked at me."
but for some reason I'm in full control now." "Are you under their control?" He asked. The others stared at us with their dead robotic like eyes. His eyes were different. "
Do you even know my name?" He asked
. I put my finger against my lips. "
Keep quiet. We can't get found out. Just act like the rest of them. I'll tell you later what's up here okay. And by the way, thanks."
I said to him as I walked him back to his post. I walked back to mine and we started working. The instructor returned with armed men dressed in black. "
I believe those two are having defects, he stopped me from punishing the first defect." The armed men pointed a gun at me and the other boy. His tag read 3435. "
Come with us defects. Arms above your heads." We put out hands above our head and walked to the same place I had woken up before. Dr. Lee sighed when she saw me as if disappointed. " What has happened instructor Welks."
"Defects, one fought against my orders. Those other one caused the items to get distracted." She nodded. "
I'll check what's wrong with their chips and have them repaired. No worries."
The armed men left and so did the instructors she made us sit in the white tables. "
Y/n what did I say? Act like the others don't get yourself caught as a defect." "
Sorry mo...Dr. Lee."
The other boy looked at us in slight, I mean total confusion. "
Could I get an explanation of what's going on? Who am I? Why am I here?"
After Dr. lee explained it to him he nodded. "
So we must escape from this place. Why?"
Dr. Lee sighed. "
You guys see this place, the head of District 9 believes it's a utopia. It's not it's a terrible reality where youth are being treated as items. Escape from this place, save yourselves take as many with you. I don't want to see the youth get wasted in this place."
The boy looked at me. "
So, y/n. Let's try to get people to wake up and let's escape together Alright." "
Yes."
He smiled then scratched his head. "
No fair. I don't have a name."
I raised my hand. "I'll give you one." "
Okay. Sounds good." He said while looking me straight in the eye. "
"Felix."
"Felix. Doesn't sound bad, Mate."
Dr. Lee smiled and hugged me tightly
. "Now both of you behave yourselves and remember, the plan."
We walked back out to the outside, the others were still working. We walked to our posts and worked. We kept quiet and did our work. The instructor came to check on us. He nodded as if satisfied with our silence and hard work.
"That Dr. Lee she's a miracle worker."
He walked away. Felix glanced at me, then went back to work. A weird bell ring making the others stand straight and go into lines. I went behind my line. I watched Felix go to his line. He glanced at me and mouthed what now. I lightly shrugged then mouthed back. Just follow along. The lines then separated ourselves into a line of women and men. The men walked to the  left while the women walked to the right. I watched Felix go with the others to the left. We walked to an outside place. It was clear, no plants, no dirt. Just white concrete floor. Something about this gave me the chills.
