The pure survivors

Chapter 3

The next day Lilly was awoken by an annoying beeping sound next to her ear. When she turned around to see what was making the stupid sound she saw her alarm clock blaring, the numbers reading 6:00. She pressed the snooze button before turning around once more and started to fall asleep again. But unfortunately faith had other plans for her. Before she could fully fall asleep there were a series of loud knocks on her door. "Come on Lilly we have to get breakfast." It was Fox. He was always the first one to get up and help the other people as well. At least his definition of helping. Normally he would go to the rooms of the people that didn't want to get out of bed and start knocking on their doors until they came out. "Fine I'm coming. Go knock on the other's doors." Lilly grumpily replied before letting out a big yawn. Not much later she heard a happy 'okay' before a set of fast moving footsteps that moved away from her door and afterwards a bunch of loud knocks on a door a little further away.

Lilly threw the covers of her body and swung her legs over the edge of the bed, revealing a grey tank top and shorts. She stretched her arms getting a satisfying pop from her back. Afterwards she made her way over to her closet. All of the children's rooms were pretty small, having only one bed, a desk and a closet in them. She opened her closet revealing a bunch of white button up shirts, black pants and an extra pair of pajamas. Lilly stuck her hands in the closet and pulled out a random shirt and pants, there was nothing to choose between so it didn't matter anyway. She also opened some of the drawers which held her underwear, socks and ties. She picked one of everything before closing the drawers once more and walked back to her bed with her clean clothes.

After she had laid her clothes on her bed she started to get out of the pajama that she was wearing. After she had stripped off everything she threw the dirty clothes on her bed before putting on her normal clothes. When she was halfway done another series of knocks sounded on her door. "You almost done?" The hyper voice of Fox sounded. "Almost done, just putting on the rest of my clothes." Lilly answered while placing her shirt over her head. "Okay I'll go back to knocking on Dahlia's door, hurry up though because you two are the last." And once again Lilly heard fast footsteps moving away from her door, before loud knocks sounded through the hallway. This time though it was followed by an annoyed shout from Dahlia telling Fox to stop knocking.

Lilly had finished putting on her tie before walking outside to help Fox getting Dahlia to hurry up. She walked past a couple of doors before coming to a stop next to Fox. "Dahlia, come on. We're gonna miss breakfast if you don't come now." Lilly said and started to also bang her fist on the door. Right then the door swung open, almost hitting Lilly in her face, and banged harshly against the wall. In the doorframe was Dahlia who was just finishing putting on her tie. She wasn't looking very happy, but surprisingly she wasn't mad like some mornings. With an annoyed tone in her voice she said, "I'm done, okay." before the three of them started to walk to the cafeteria. "Yes, thanks to me. Remember that one time I didn't wake you up. You came rushing into the classroom without shoes  on and a tie half way around your head. Plus you got majorly scolded by the teacher afterwards." Fox said  while walking backwards in front of Dahlia.

The trio walked to the cafeteria where they got their food before sitting down next to the rest who were already at a table. Quickly they ate their food because they only had 12 minutes left before the lesson would start. Afterwards they threw away their trash and placed the trays back on the counter. The group then went their separate ways, all having different classes. Lilly's first subject was history, something she didn't like very much. Luckily she had this subject with Willow and Fox so that made things a lot better.

The teacher, Mr. Thomas, was waiting patiently behind his desk checking if every student had come. He stood up from his chair after everyone was seated and started to scribble some words on the whiteboard. When he stepped aside the words 'the flood' became visible to the class. Lilly mentally sighed not really being interested in the topic. "The flood was a natural disaster that hit our planet around a thousand years ago. The flood consisted of multiple earthquakes and tsunamis that flooded many countries and made parts that were once on the bottem of the ocean rise up to form islands. Many people died during this tragic time, but some people survived who created a new civilization for the next generations. This basic knowledge will be expanded upon during the next lessons and at the end will be tested during an exam."
