When we got on the train, we finally talked. We talked about how bad we felt about left our families. Well we always said we had one family, because we were all so close with each other.
When we sat down, we hugged for a little while. We knew it would be a long ride so after we finished hugging we got really comfortable (it was easy seeing how it was a luxury trian) and I fell asleep leaning on him. His head was on my head too. We were soon both fast asleep and we're asleep until we were an hour off from out destination.
When we woke up we were excited for the time ahead of us and we were getting restless.
*one hours passes and they get to the TSO*
"Woah this place is huge! Jeez I'm super psyched for this!!" Said Daimian, jumping up and down.
"Eheh yeah. It's almost daunting" I say with a slight hint of nervousness. Daimian hears this in my voice and puts his arm around me "It's ok, as long as we have each other we're-" he was cut off.
"Ooo new comers." A girl walks over to us. "My name is Kate. There's supposed to be a test to see who's worthy to be here so.. uh.. good luck." She stops for a second then really looks at Daimian. "And.. uh.. there's.. two parts..-" she's practically drulling now. She shakes her head and looks forward and continues "there's two part. Writen and physical. If you get good scores on both your most likely to get in."
"How do you know this?" I ask
"I'm a very sneeky girl so I.. uh... over heard some people talking about it.. heh." She says rubbing the back of her neck.
"Why? You don't think they'd tell us?" I say hesitantly.
"Well.. yeah. But.. uh." She can't think of anything to say back so we all just walk into a small side building and put our back-packs down and "settle in".
After we adjusted to where we were at that point in a tall woman walked in. "Hello children. Or should I say space cadets. You are to follow me and I will take you on a tour. Tomorrow you will also be tested." I glance at that Kate girl with a 'dude why?' Mixed with 'told you so' look. She was too busy looking at Daimian to even bother noticing me. "You will be split" that word made me shiver and I looked at Daimian and he looked at me too. We we're both OK with it as long as we both passed.
When she finished explaining everything that needed to be done she said she needed those pieces of paper that Sir told us to give. I had a brief moment of pure panic. Then it went away as soon as I took it out of my pocket and looked at it the panic flooded away and I took a reliefed breath. Aparantally it was loud because Daimian look at me "You ok there? That was a loud sigh"
"Huh? Yeah I'm ok. Just thought I forgot the papers. But I got them" I say smiling and I show him. "Good because if you get kicked I'm not going to stay. Heh" he smiles too. When the lady takes our papers, she smiles at us and says we can relax and explore for the rest of the day. It was about three o'clock and we were both excited and exausted. "I don't wanna move but I wanna explore. Ya know?" I say calmly yet in a whine.
"Yeah me too. You wanna go meet people?" He says hopefully. I give him a death stare.
"No way. But you can. I'll just be here"
"Aww no fun. Common please? Come with me." He pretends to pout.
"Fine. But-"
