Fight - Abbey Loraliene (best books to read TXT) 📗

me to a bunker room, where he showed me my bunk and told me the rules. I nodded and he walked out of the room. " Newbie, huh?" A girl's voice said from above me. She popped down. "I'm Zoe." she said to me. "Alexandra." I told her back. " So, is Cody your boyfriend?" she asked me in a teasing voice.

 

"No, no he's not." I replied, shyly. "You don't have to be shy with me, I'm cool, and every girl wants to be with Cody, and I mean every girl. You'd better watch out." Zoe said. I smiled, and then laughed. I don't like him. He was just trying to help." I said, laughing. " Right." Zoe said, sarcastically. "Can I go to bed now? I am super sore from the paralzing medicine." she nodded and I rolled over, thinking about how worried my mom would be.

 

I woke up, to a loud buzzing noise. I stood up, looking for Zoe or Cody. Everyone was up, standing by their bunks. I did the same, and saw Cody walk through the aisles, inspecting every single bunk. When he went past me, he glanced and winked. I smirked a little, and he looked away. Then an older man came, and yelled at us. "What is your name?" he asked me strictly. "A-Alexandra." I stuttered. He frowned, and yelled, "Your new name is Alex." I nodded slowly, and he yelled, " Dinner is at 8:00. Training is at 1:00. Until then, you need to study." "Yes, sir!" we all exclaimed. Then I watched him leave. It started buzzing. "Training?" I asked Zoe. "Yeah, to fight against Costaine and Insedious. You know, the war. We have to do it every day." she told me, smiling. I sighed, and followed Zoe to the study hall.

 

She gave me a thick, dusty book. I coughed, and brushed it off. "Here. study this, until one." she said, taking a seat next to me. I opened it, and read the first chapter. It was silent, and soon I felt someone brush my arm. I looked up, seeing Cody smiling at me. I was relieved to see him, and let out a sigh of relief. He smiled, and whispered to me, " Hi. It's been a while since I've seen you. How do you like it?" I chuckled softly, whispering, "You saw me this morning, and I hate it." he smiled, and got back to studying. I did the same, resting my head on my hand.

 

Finally it came around to 4:00, and we all got up, putting our books away, heading to Training. We all stood in a line, silent. "Alex. Why don't you show off your fencing skills." the Sergant said, looking straight at me. My eyes went wide, and he called another boy named Aaron with blonde hair and huge muscles to duel. My legs started shaking, and we both got swords and stood in an attack position. He attacked me full- on. I blocked his first stab, and tried to stab him back, but he blocked his. He stabbed me in the arm, and I could feel the blood coming out. I stabbed him back, but I barely made a dent in his huge biceps. He stabbed me again in the leg, and soon I was bleeding all over the place. Cody ran in, helped me up, and called for gauze. "Are you okay?" he asked me. "No, what does it look like?" I said, holding back tears. He picked me up, looking straight ahead and pushing past the Sergant when he tried to stop him. "She needs a doctor." he said through gritted teeth. He took me to a hospital, and soon I was out cold.

 

I woke up with a young girl next to me. I opened my mouth to say something, but she hushed me and said, "You are alright. I'm Hope. I also go to school here, except they put me as a nurse. We had to do stiches on your arm and leg, but now you are alright." she said, smiling at me. I just smiled weakly back, and tried to get up. She just brought me a dark red wheelchair and put me in it, even with me insisting that I was fine. Hope wheeled me back to the bunks, and I jumped into my bed, and watched Hope leave. Soon Zoe hopped down, her eyes wide. "What happened? I can't believe that Cody talked back to President Smith like that." I cocked my head, confused. "What do you mean president?" I asked her. "Oh, the seargant is President Smith." she said. I nodded my head in understanding. I was tired, so I motioned Zoe away. 

 

I slept for about five minutes until a loud whistle blew. I jumped up, startled, and saw Cody blowing the whistle, telling us it was dinner. "Really? Is it that late already?" I wondered. I got out of my bunk, and we all followed Cody in a single file line to dinner. We ran into Aaron, the boy who almost killed me. "Dinner." Cody told him, but he glared, and pushed Cody. "You tryin' to tell me what to do, pretty boy?" he said, grabbing his shirt. "Yeah, actually, I am." he pushed Aaron back, and soon they where wrestling each other on the floor. Cody had a black eye, and Aaron was unharmed. Aaron continued to beat Cody to a pulp, when finally I could not take it anymore. I pulled them apart screaming, "Aaron! Stop it! You are going to kill him!" Aaron looked at me, and agreed. "You should be glad I didn't pretty boy." he walked off. Cody was laying on the floor, clearly in lots of pain. One of his eyes was swollen shut, and the other was becoming a dark purple. "Cody!" I knelt by his side. "I'm alright, Alexandra. Help me up." I took his hand, and pulled him up from the floor. "Thanks, Alex." he gasped. I helped him to the cafeteria for dinner.

 

What we ate were some fruit that I just could not name, bread, and other mysterious stuff. "Zoe, what is this stuff?" I whispered next to her.
