My‌ ‌first‌ ‌hours ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌academy‌ ‌was‌ ‌amazing.‌ ‌

Everybody‌ ‌treated‌ ‌me‌ ‌like‌ ‌a‌ ‌celebrity.‌ ‌This‌ ‌was‌ ‌because‌ ‌I‌ ‌am‌ ‌a‌ ‌legacy.‌ ‌When‌ Kim‌ ‌a walk around‌ ‌together,‌ ‌sometimes‌ ‌people‌ ‌want‌ ‌our‌ ‌autographs.‌ ‌At‌ ‌this‌ ‌school,‌ ‌everybody‌ ‌knows‌ ‌my‌ ‌name.‌ ‌ ‌

Meanwhile,‌ ‌the‌ ‌agency‌ ‌is‌ ‌doing‌ ‌a‌ ‌search‌ ‌but‌ ‌didn't‌ ‌come‌ ‌up‌ ‌with‌ ‌anything‌ ‌yet.‌ ‌Jonathan‌ ‌was‌ still‌ ‌out‌ ‌there.‌ ‌Kim‌ ‌was‌ ‌right,‌ ‌the‌ ‌warehouse‌ ‌was‌ ‌abandoned‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌time‌ ‌our‌ ‌men‌ ‌got‌ ‌there.‌ ‌ ‌My‌ ‌first‌ ‌class‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌morning‌ ‌was‌ ‌Self Preservation.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was‌ ‌taught‌ ‌by‌ ‌Harper Booth. In‌ ‌Self Preservation,‌ ‌we‌ ‌had‌ ‌to‌ ‌defend‌ ‌ourselves‌ ‌fighting.‌ ‌I‌ ‌was‌ ‌one‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌top‌ ‌in‌ ‌my‌ ‌class,‌ ‌do‌ ‌to‌ ‌my‌ ‌Taekwondo‌ ‌and‌ Gymnastics.‌ ‌Kim‌ ‌was‌ ‌in‌ ‌this‌ ‌class‌ ‌with‌ ‌me,‌ ‌as‌ ‌long‌ ‌as‌ ‌my‌ ‌other‌ ‌group‌ ‌of‌ ‌friends.‌ ‌Basically,‌ everybody‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌Academy‌ ‌was‌ ‌my‌ ‌friend,‌ ‌even‌ ‌second‌ ‌years‌ ‌and‌ ‌above.

Later,‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌mess‌ ‌hall,‌ ‌I‌ ‌got‌ ‌to‌ ‌finally‌ ‌ask‌ ‌Kim‌ ‌the‌ ‌question‌ ‌I‌ ‌had‌ ‌been‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌ask.‌ ‌

"Kim,‌ ‌how‌ ‌do‌ ‌you‌ ‌know‌ ‌my‌ ‌parents?"‌

‌"I‌ ‌was‌ ‌assigned‌ ‌to‌ ‌keep‌ ‌a‌ ‌close‌ ‌eye‌ ‌on‌ ‌you,‌ ‌by‌ ‌your‌ ‌parents,"‌ ‌Kim‌ ‌replied.‌ ‌

"So‌ ‌we‌ ‌were‌ ‌never‌ ‌friends?"‌ ‌I‌ ‌asked.‌ ‌

"My‌ ‌assignment‌ ‌wasn't‌ ‌to‌ ‌get‌ ‌close‌ ‌to‌ ‌you,‌ ‌so‌ ‌our‌ ‌friendship‌ ‌is‌ ‌real."‌ ‌That‌ ‌made‌ ‌me‌ ‌feel‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌bit‌ ‌better.‌ ‌

"Wait.‌ ‌We're‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌age,‌ ‌so they‌ ‌assigned‌ ‌you‌ ‌before‌ ‌you‌ ‌were‌ ‌born?"‌ ‌

"My‌ ‌brother‌ ‌was‌ ‌assigned‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌task,‌ ‌but‌ ‌when‌ I became‌ ‌6,‌ ‌he‌ ‌became‌ ‌a‌ ‌teacher‌ ‌here.‌ ‌Then‌ ‌I‌ ‌enrolled‌ ‌at‌ ‌your‌ ‌school‌ ‌and‌ ‌we‌ ‌met‌ ‌and‌ ‌became‌ ‌friends,"‌ ‌Kim‌ ‌explained.‌

‌ ‌ It‌ ‌was‌ ‌a‌ ‌whole‌ ‌lot‌ ‌to‌ ‌take‌ ‌in.‌ ‌

Out of all of the classes, Physical Education was my favorite one. Because it was normal. Well, as normal as things got at our school. We had to do multiple obstacle courses while paint guns were being shot at us. I excelled in this too, and was doing well in all of my classes. My day was going great.

That was, until I got called to the principal's office.

I thought I was going to faint. It was my first day at the Academy, and I was already in trouble. I walked through the hallways slowly, heading towards the principal's office. When the guards posted there let me in, I gaped in astonishment.

The principal's office was huge and luxurious. It had two couches, a large TV, and 1 huge desk. The principal was sitting next to it.

"Sit down Catherine. I need to ask a few questions about Jonathan." I brightened in relief now that I knew I was not in trouble. For about 30 minutes, I was interrogated until I was released.

After‌ ‌all‌ my ‌classes‌ finished ‌I‌ ‌headed‌ ‌to‌ ‌Bond‌ ‌Dormitory,‌ ‌named‌ ‌after‌ ‌James‌ ‌bond.‌ ‌All‌ ‌first‌ ‌years‌ ‌slept‌ here.‌ ‌My‌ ‌room‌ ‌was‌ ‌comfortable,‌ ‌and‌ ‌bigger‌ ‌than‌ ‌most‌ ‌students'‌ ‌rooms(I‌ ‌guess‌ ‌being‌ ‌a‌ ‌legacy‌ ‌really‌ ‌matters‌ ‌around‌ ‌this‌ ‌place).‌ ‌I‌ ‌went‌ ‌to‌ ‌bed‌ ‌at‌ ‌2000‌ ‌hours.‌ ‌I‌ ‌like‌ ‌to‌ ‌sleep‌ ‌early.‌ And, I needed a rest after all the classes and the principal's office. ‌When‌ ‌I‌ ‌got‌ ‌into‌ ‌bed,‌ ‌however,‌ ‌I‌ ‌couldn't‌ ‌go‌ ‌to‌ ‌sleep.‌ ‌

Because somebody with a gun walked‌ ‌into‌ ‌my‌ ‌room.

(Apparently,‌ ‌the‌ ‌locks‌ ‌were‌ ‌easy‌ ‌to‌ ‌pick).
