Chapter 2: Shadow's P.O.V

"Hey, come on!" I heard Stestial call me. We were in the cafeteria with over one hundred other students.

"Coming," I called back. I got up, threw my stuff away, and went to stand behind her. We're currently standing in line to go to combat training. I asked Stestial why everybody listened to her the day previously. Her parents forced her to have simulator training instead of actual combat training because she was past the skills of her fellow students. So, she won't be on the field but her instructors granted her permission to watch since she wants to see who will be her biggest competition.

"Great, guess what? And I mean you actually have to guess." She really wanted me to answer so I said something stupid.

"You're pregnant," I said casually.

"Yes, wait what?" I started laughing as her face suddenly darkened in anger.

"What's so funny?" She asked hotly.

"Nothing, please continue." I say through bouts of laughter.

"Um... okay," she said with the same look of anger. "There's a new boy in school!" She said excitedly.

"Great, what's his name?" I asked without the same excited tone.

"His name is Mikal," she said happily with a smile.

"What does he look like?" I asked before she started squealing.

"Well, he's tall with dark brown hair, icy blue eyes, well tanned skin, and he's so hot!" Stestial said admiringly.

"Question?"

"Yes?"

"I forgot how you know so much about what other students look like so can you please remind me?" I asked in confusion.

"Because my family is the welcoming committee for the entire school." She said as if common knowledge.

Now we were all standing on the field waiting for the instructors to speak. "Everybody ready!" Came a shout from the instructor who I recognized as, Amorga.

"Ready!" Everybody shouted back in unison.

"Great, Shadow and Mikal!" For the new guy everybody already new his name. "Fight!"

I walked to the middle of the field and began waiting for Mikal. He still wasn't in the field yet and we had been waiting for minutes. "Mikal!" I heard an angry Amorga yell.

"Sorry, coming." A nervous voice replied.

"Next time don't be late!" Amorga said sternly.

"I won't let it happen again!" The kid said firmly. Then, he headed out to the center of the field; we began sizing each other up. When Stestial said that he was hot I didn't realize how true that statement was. He probably made ice melt when he walked into a room; get over it Shadow, it just can't happen!

"I'm sorry," he said when suddenly his nervous demeanor changed. Now he was confident and sure footed. First, he lunged at my waist but he missed by mere millimeters. He then, tried to get me by using a tackle position but I side stepped again. He was ready for me to try and side stepped so he also side stepped and tackled me. Now we were both on the ground wrestling. He was winning but our time wasn't up yet. I started using my brain and forced him to get off me so I could stand up. He was breathing heavily but I was perfectly fine.
