June 21st, 2037 8:46 Am Testing Day ———————— I get up from my bed made of rags and ragged bedsheets. I feel the tiny nemonic device in my wrist beep and I jump up out of my bedsheet.
"Klynn!" A girl yells multiple times. I go over to the balcony and I see my friend Charlie waving at me to hurry and come so we can go to the testing building.
"Estimated walk time to testing building: 25 Minutes." The device says aloud. I slip on my shoes, leave on my pj's and start running down the stairs.
As I open the door, Charlie grabs my arm and I fly off my feet. I pray I don't fall, and try to keep up her but she's going so fast.
We reach the top of some stairs and we admire the big white building that is going to grant us our freedom to a better life.
"You ready?" Charlie ask me. I hesitate as this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. "Yep, I guess.". She grabs my hand and squeezes it tight. "May god be with us through the testing and giving us faith and strength throughout it all." She says aloud. I nod my head meaning "Amen."
We head inside the building and immediately we get asked to take off out clothing.
"The uniform we are giving you has special detectors for the three main parts of the test itself. Mental, physical and Adapting. The last one is the other two combined." A woman in white appears out of nowhere saying.
Everyone looks at one another, confused. I just shrug. "So lets get to it, chop chop!" And I hear footsteps moving. I swiftly put on the uniform, just some black leggings and a black shirt.
I stuff my clothes into a container. I think they're for when you get eliminated, you get your container back form the machine and leave.
I clench my hand around my container. I am not gonna see these clothes ever again. I get up to put the container into the machinery and sucks it up and falls into a spot just for the container.
I start walking back to where I was getting ready for the test, when a boy bumps my shoulder. He's tall and lean and has blue hair and has a really cheeky eyes and just a soft and reassuring face.
"My bad." He says. I smile and nod, "It's okay." I sayHe smiles and I almost completely swoon over him. "Nope, I'm here to get to the offshore and get a better life." I mumble.
The lady in white appears again and she makes everyone jump with her loud yet firm voice. "Everyone please, get ready for your first test." And she disappears again.
Everyone just starts walking up the stairs to the first testing room. I get bumped in the arm by so many people and I start getting annoyed.
I try to catch up with Charlie and she notices how much I'm being trampled. So she grabs my arm and pulls me from the crowd. I laugh, from hysteria and because I'm so nervous.
We all reach the doors. I overlook how many off us there are. Thousands, maybe millions. That makes me even more nervous.
"It's going to be okay." Charlie says to me. I smile, but on the inside I'm scared as shit.
