The door opened and I was surprised to see it wasn't Lieutenant Kavinsky but a lady dressed in the same army outfit as Peter.
   She was beautiful, with shining green eyes and blonde hair.

  Her outfit wasn't baggy though it was kinda loose but it was okay on her.
  "0022?" She asked with a stern voice, looking me up and down like I was you know an ugly disposable bag or something.

  My first impression about her was bitchy, know it all, sassy and two faced and I knew, very soon, time would prove me right. I detested people like that.

"Yes," I replied her, looking into her green eyes starting the staring competition. I won obviously because within thirty seconds she gave up, causing a smirk to appear on my face.

"You looked uglier and fatter than I imagined." She said not even trying to hide her disgust. Why on earth do I have to deal with someone who behaves like a high school queen bee. It was a hard thing enduring Hailey at school because her mum was the principal, now enduring this one because she's with a laser sighted weapon? Now that's going to be way harder than I thought.

"Follow me." She said not uttering another word. Oh she better not say anything stupid again or she'll get it from me.

She led me to the dining hall, were other units were gathered having breakfast. The smell of pancakes and bacon mixed together made me salivate, my stomach rumbled in agreement.

I forgot about the sassy girl who couldn't control her mouth and grabbed a tray, moving to join the line.

"Hey." A male voice said behind me, making me turn my head.
He was a cute guy with a nice haircut, freckles on his face and grey eyes. He was around my age I could tell and I could tell he wasn't good at expressing himself because he was holding his tray and shaking like a rat that was poured cold water.

"I'm Josh, or 0039,"  he said as the line moved again.

"I'm Kate, or 0022," I said giving him a warm sincere smile trying to ease his tension.

"Next!" The old chef shouted before I stepped forward. She put two round pancakes, three long bacons, on my plate a very small bottle of syrup, a bottle of water and orange  juice on my tray, before shouting another next.

We sat on the same table eating in a comfortable silence. It wasn't really comfortable at least not for him because he was still shaking.

"Do you have a cold or something?" I asked. He nodded in disapproval.

"It's just how I am." He said.

"That's how you are? For real?" I asked with my eyes almost popping out of its socket.

"Yes, but once in a while. It comes and goes." Here I am thinking I was making someone nervous not knowing it's a stupid disorder.

"So, how did you end up here?" I asked more interested than ever.

"My mother and I were involved in a car crash and when I woke up, I found myself in a big van with people like me too."

"Sorry, that must be really....uncomfortable for you" I said. I felt his pain because I too had lost a loved one and I knew how it felt.

"Its okay though, I want to talk about it like she still exists and not some kind of....burden." he said with a small frown.

"Kate!" MJ shouted, rushing to my table, with her tray of food in her hand, Elsa following behind.

She hugged me, before taking a seat beside me.

"Oh hey Josh!" She said with a small smile, my mouth dropped. She knew him? Who didn't she know again?

"You know each other?" I asked looking at the three of them simultaneously.

"Yeah," all three of them said together.

"We met, when we were coming from the playground. He was coming from the infirmary. He was shaking so our lieutenant helped his lieutenant carry him back to the infirmary. "

"That explains." I said, biting off my remaining bacon.

"So when are you going for the blood test." I asked MJ and Elsa.

"By 2pm," they chorused.

"Same as me." I said, drinking my orange juice.

We ate our breakfast in comfortable silence, till breakfast time was over, and Mrs. I'm finer than you came to excort me back to my room.

I've been staring at the ceiling for a long time there about thinking. My mind has been racing about the future and I was worried about how mine and MJ's life would be after we take the test. I just didn't want us to be apart of each other. If she was a specimen I wanted to be a specimen and if they wanted to kick her into the army, they should do that to me. I wanted to protect her with my life because I knew she would do the same for me too.

I really needed a book, a magazine or even if it was a  flipping newspaper. I couldn't just stay, not doing anything. I'll run mad from thinking so heavily. Too much thinking wasn't good for the health.

I was about to take a short nap, when suddenly my door beeped before opening, revealing handsome lieutenant Kavinsky.

   I was so happy and smiled brightly at him, which he didn't return, making my smile drop immediately. He can be so rude sometimes.

"I see you have met Lt. Taylor." He said strolling further into the room.
  "Who?" I asked a little bit confused. I didn't talk to any guy this morning except Josh.

  "Lt. Valentina Taylor,"

"I'm guessing you are referring to the bitch that came here this morning. Well I met with her and she didn't really leave a good impression," I said with a deep frown.

"No offence though, I'm just saying my mind." I said putting my hand in a surrender mode.

"None taken. So plans have changed 0022, you take the test now and if you are a specimen, you move to the big Manticore Lab. If you're not a specimen, you move to the Heaven's hill here in Manticore to start your training as a cadet."

"A ca- what?" I didn't want to be anything MJ wasn't. I wanted to be where she was.

"Let's go now!" He said turning around and opening the door, walking out, leaving me with my mouth opened up with surprise.
