Not Just Another

seventeen

Sydneys POV-

      I run over to Quinn who is nearly passed out on the floor and begin to shake her. Her eyes begin to refocus and she slowly sits up. "Quinn are you okay?" I ask her worriedly. She nods slowly. "Yeah, I just got shocked a little more than you guys." "A little more," Steven says "More like a whole lot more" "Yeah what was he thinking doing that?" Daniela chimes in. I even notice Caroline shaking her head. "This is just ridiculous," Corbyn says. We all nod our heads in agreement.

      "Well, now where are we going?" Tommy says "I don't know, they'll probably tell us soon." Daniela says. As soon as she says that we all hear a voice in our ears. "All trainers may report to the lunchroom" "Guess that's where we're headed," I say. We all leave the training room and head downstairs to the lunchroom. We get in line and quickly get our food since we were some of the first kids to get down there. We find an empty table and sit down, but none of us touch the food. "Guys there is no possible way we can stay here." Steven says as he glances down at the disgusting food that they had served us. "Yeah, that much is obvious but how are we supposed to leave?" Quinn adds. I glance around the cafeteria to make sure no is listening to our conversation. "Well, someone at NJA had to have noticed that we're missing right" I say leaning in so everyone can hear me. "Yeah, but they might not know where we are or who took us," Corbyn adds in, telling everyone the truth of the whole situation. "Well, right now the most we can do is hope people at NJA know where we are, and try to make an escape plan of our own."

             The voice once again speaks to us in our ears. "Lunch time is over. All newbies will report to training room 5." We all look at each other, not the least bit excited for even more training, but we stand up and head to training room 5.

          Once we get there, there is a girl who seems to be a little older than us standing at the front of the room. As soon as we walk in she gives a glare. "Well, take your seats," she says to us. We each sit in one of the chairs in the front of the room and wait for the girl to begin talking. "Hello," she says without the slightest hint of a smile on her face. "My name is Abigail, and I will be dealing with your emotional training." I turn and look at Tommy confused and he returns the face. I didn't quite understand why we would need emotional training of all things.

      Abigail eyes each of us up and down. She suddenly points to me. "How about you come up here." I slowly stand up and head to the front of the room. She begins to circle around me like a lion circling its prey. "I wanna see just how weak you all are." I'm confused by what she says when I suddenly get shocked like I had earlier. It catches me by surprise and I nearly lose my balance.

     "Weak, but that's what I was expecting from you all." Abigail said while shoving me back to my seat. I sat down and turned and looked her straight in the eye without breaking eye contact.I could tell that I was making her uncomfortable and stopped, pleased with myself .

      "You all are weak," Abigail said for the 50th time and stared us all down again. "You wear your emotions on your sleeves and that leaves you all vulnerable." "And what does this have to do with anything?" Caroline said crossing her arms. "Did I say you can ask questions?" Abigail whispered and slowly walked towards Caroline. Caroline said nothing and just looked away.

      "Anyway, you all need to be trained to become cold. No one must ever know what your feeling, and I will make sure you all achieve this." She smiled at us all creepily. "And I'll start with this." We all got shocked again with a little more intensity than normal. We all jumped at the sudden shock and our faces twisted in pain. The shocking ended and Abigail shook her head. "This class will continue tomorrow, I have a lot to work on with you all, you can all go." We quickly stood up and left the classroom, happy to get away from her.

     "All of these classes are ridiculous, what are they trying to do?" I said while shaking my head. "I don't know but all this shocking is just painful," Quinn said. "Well, there's not much we can do, try anything and we get shocked. We'll probably get worse for something serious." Corbyn said once we got to the elevators.

     The boys turned to us. "We have to go up to get to our bunks." Corbyn said. "Looks like we'll see you guys later then" I said.

      We waved goodbye to the guys and headed down the hall while they headed up. When we got to our bunk there were two security guards standing outside. "Gosh, what are they trying to do now?" Daniela said while rolling her eyes. "Looks like we need even more protection, if that's possible." Caroline added.

       We stood in front of our dorms and looked at the guards. They looked down at us and didn't speak for a while. Finally, they stepped away from the door and one of them said, "This is being put in place so that you all don't try anything." We looked at each other confused about what he was talking about, but headed into our dorms.

      We opened the door and there was a table sitting in the middle of room. We were confused until we saw the president of P.F.U, Conner Vast. He turned around and smiled at us four. "Hello girls, I believe we have some things that we need to discuss." He smiled at us again and we looked at each other worriedly. "Here take a seat," he said. We all sat down in one of the chairs around the table and he stood next to it.

           Once we sat down the smile suddenly vanished from his face. "We've heard that you and those other boys from NJA have been talking about an escape plan."
