Chapter 4 - Pressure

I was walking in a hallways when all of sudden someone pushed me onto the floor and before I could get up I felt something getting poured onto my head.It smelled rancid,after looking at it I realized it was spoiled milk and before I could say anything

"what the he-"

I turned around but before I could finish my sentence

someone who was holding an empty carton of milk shouted

"everyone look at this loser!" as he said that more people started looking in our direction and started laughing

"hey what's your name"

"Damian" I said

"nice name I'm Kayden"

he said while holding his hand out

I went to grab it but right before I grabbed his hand he suddenly slapped me on the face.

"did you really think I was going to help a loser like you"

he said, after hitting me a few more times everybody had lost interest in what was going on,

and Kayden started to walk away but right before he was out of hearing range I heard him say

"you're a freak Damian...Damian...DAMIAN!"

I quickly sat up after being startled awake. I looked at the person who woke, it was Dylan

"You okay,you were sleep talking"

"yeah I'm fine"

I said

"okay, anyways look a like we will be getting to the training grounds soon" he said while pointing at the small screen on the dash board I looked at in it and saw that it read "estimated time till arrival 00:30:12" "also could you wake up Cindy?" he said while pointing at the seat infront of me, at first I was confused as to why he couldn't just yell at her the same way he did to me but as I looked at her seat I noticed she had headphones on after understanding why he didn't do it him self I decided to kick her the back of her seat.

"Thud"

immediately after I kicked her seat a voice came from it

"ouch what was that for?"

Cindy said as she turned around while taking off her headphones

"how loud was the music the you were listening to that you couldn't here Dylan yelling at you" I said.

"what do you mean? these are just earmuffs if you were to speak in a little louder of a tone than if you were in a conversation than I would be able to hear you perfectly fine." Cindy said while looking at me with a confused face, putting two and two together I realized what was going on.

"So, Dylan does that mean that you made me do what you could have easily done because you were to lazy?"I said with a slightly annoyed tone while I turned around to look at Dylan

"sorry okay, but look at it this way all you had to do was kick the back of her seat it's not even that hard if you're angry that I made you do something as small as that doesn't that make you the lazy one?" he said with confidence, silence filled the room for a second before

"shut up" I said as I hit him on the head.... lightly.

30 minutes later

"your destination has been reached, lowering roof"

an A.I voice rang out in the vehicle just then the roof started lowering and I could see other students getting out of the other vehicles I then noticed that there were other people who were our age

'looks like these people got here before us' I thought there had to be already 1000-1500 people here but what stood out the most was the gigantic lineup up in front of the bathroom I also noticed some of the people from our school were in the lineup too I decided to make some small talk with some other people there

about an hour later the door standing standing in the back of the room with a sign saying staff only opened and out came Xavier and a few other people I didn't recognize when the door opened everyone lined up in rows of 10 I followed suit later every one lined up instructor Xavier opened his mouth.

"as you can see there are many people you probably don't recognize that's because they are from different schools, anyways I will now be explaining the first test now and you have probably been told that the first phase is a pressurized water test and that is the test you will be taking today, okay the first 10 rows of people please come with me." About 10 seconds after he said that 100 people had left the room, after about 7 hours it was finally my turn to take the test

after following instructor Xavier through the training grounds for about 5 minutes we finally arrived to a door labeled "pressure."
