"Bye, Eliane!" I hugged my nurse and best friend around the neck. She had just injected the last of my medicine, and now it was time to jump. My heart raced with adrenaline as she hugged me back.
"Bye, Immie." She saw the tears that were starting to form in my big blue eyes. "Don't cry. You never cry. This is nothing you can't handle." I buried my head in her chest.
After a few seconds, I backed away, and faced my other best friend, Nathaniel.
"You got this, Immie." He said, and hugged me like Eliane had.
"Thanks, Nate." I whispered.
"Alright, crybabies! Let's get a move on!" I jumped up to see my uncle William standing there, with a stern look on his face. I stiffly walked over to him, and stood straight up. He sharply slapped a neon orange vest onto me, and shook my hand. "Good luck, Immunition." He added, and shoved my no-longer shaking self towards the exit.
"I will not let you down, uncle." He nodded curtly before I heard the blaring robotic voice come from the plane all around me.
