"Oh shit!" Kosi said as he squinted his eyes shielding them from the sun as he stepped out of the car. "What the fuck is that" he said turning away from it. "It's the sun babe" Rue said holding a bag over her head to shield herself from it.
"That's the sun? Alright well it's too fucking bright can we turn the moon on instead" he said holding his bag up over his head. "What? No we can't...did you learn anything in school" she said looking bemused. "Yeah but you know I was just there to see you and hang out with Jude then graduate" Kosi replied with a smile.
"Hey" he said before leaning in and giving her a peck on the lips. "First kiss above ground" he said smirking. "Ugh you're so lame" she replied blushing.
"Alright attention please you're going to be situated in these tents but first you need to get checked up at the hospital so please proceed to the white building behind the camp" the general said to the crowd with a megaphone.
Walking on the hot tar road in the back of the crowd Rue was visibly giddy with excitement. Clenching Kosis arm tightly she bounced around pointing at the clouds moving overhead and a pigeon walking on the side of the road. Eyes wide and shrieking at every little thing Kosi rolled his eyes still smiling at the abundance of joy in her eyes.
Looking around Kosi noticed people peaking out of their doors staring at them. As they walked further and further down the road he noticed more and more fearful and suspicious eyes. His nerves were shaken when he was hit in the side of the head.
"Oh shit" Rue said as she gasped. Turning to where the hit came from he saw a small child standing on the side of the road and a ball between them. Smiling at him Kosi walked over to the ball and kicked it over to the child. A few people from the homes shut their doors.
"What's going on with these people" Rue said now noticing the people staring. "How did you not notice till now?" Kosi asked chuckling. "Oh I don't know, can't lie I don't care I'm just really happy we're up here" she said twirling and throwing her arms in the air. "Oh shit we're really falling behind let's catch up" she said looking at the crowd going off in the distance.
Arriving at the hospital everyone shook and squirmed the second they entered the cold building. "Oh fuck what the..." Jude said clenching his shoulders. "Gah what the fuck" Elise said as she started shivering.
"Okay wait let's do this" Elise said as she grabbed Judes waist and started rubbing his back. "Alright" Jude said as he grabbed her and rubbed her back too.
"W...w...w..why is this room so cold?" Rue said as she sat on a bed in a dressing gown with a nurse handing her some clothes. "These aren't mine" she said looking at the clothes in a plastic bag. "Oh guess they didn't say part of the deal for you guys is new clothes" the nurse said through a mask. "Oh alright thank you" Rue said smiling. "Mkay" he nurse replied as she walked away.
Sitting with his mouth open with fingers in his mouth Kosi awkwardly looked around the room. "Interesting, interesting, oh that's interesting" a doctor said pointing a flashlight into his mouth. Feeling his teeth and looking at his tongue the doctor then pulled his fingers out.
His face souring at the taste of latex in his mouth Kosi coughed. Moving over to look at a clipboard the doctor kept looking up at Kosi who looked back at him awkwardly. "So Kosi what was your diet like" the doctor asked in a large booming voice. "Uh I don't know normal food" Kosi replied nervously.
"Well what's normal food to you?" the doctor asked intently. "Alright well mole meat, canned beans, beetle mix, water and some canned veggies maybe twice a month cause we were running out" Kosi said to the clearly shocked doctor. "What" Kosi said to the confounded doctor.
"Interesting" the doctor said writing down on his clipboard. "Okay so what's so interesting? You've been calling everything interesting" Kosi said as his frustration grew.
"You. Actually it's all of you. You're all such interesting subjects. You should be dead right now, you should be brittle boned and thin as a sheet but you look and seem normal. Your parents did a great job providing for you given the circumstances. Where are they I'd like to talk to them with you" the doctor said looking at Kosi intently.
"They're dead, can I put my clothes back on yet?" Kosi asked looking around the room. "Oh your clothes are gone a nurse is going to bring you some new ones. Sorry for your loss, a child should never have to lose their parents so young. Truly a tragedy" the doctor said mainly focusing on his clipboard. "Yeah why would anyone do that to a child" Kosi said in a bitter tone staring a hole through the doctor.
