Nick Wright's Story

Mia

I glanced at the passing figures that went through the filled corridor. All of them were new and all of them were male. Both of which happened to intrigue me. (If you went to a school for girls where all you do is search on computers and learn to kill and kick-ass then you'd be interested in it too) I had to crane my neck because I'm not quite tall enough to see over the heads of my classmates without doing so. Some of the boys were tall, most were strong and all were handsome.

One in particular caught my attention. He was about average height for a boy (maybe 6'3" which, compared to my 5'4" is tall) and had light blond hair falling into his eyes, only a shade or two darker than mine, with startlingly blue eyes. His left ear was pierced and a small white scar stood out against the pale skin on his right knuckles. He was talking to a boy that was about an inch taller than him with light brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. The brown-haired one must have noticed my staring because he nudged his friend who quickly looked up.

I widened my eyes and ducked behind one of my classmates who stared at me like I was the dumbest blond in the world. I just shrugged at her because that's how I feel.

I thought of the most intelligent thing I could do then and went off to do it.

Find my sister and go into a rant.

I squatted further into the tree to hide from the early morning light as the sun began to rise. Right when I shuffled to the side I noticed a shimmer off to the side. Positioning my paintball gun in the direction of the shimmer I noticed that it was the boy from yesterday and an African American boy with him. He motioned for the other boy to stay where he was while he took a few steps forward. The moment that he stepped forward I shot one of the green colored paintballs at him, aimed for his chest. He side-stepped it easily.

Needless to say, I failed in Guns and Ammunition.

He raised his gun and shot it at me through the leave. I clumsily slipped away from it, causing me to fall out of the tree and right on my dairy-air. He raised an eyebrow at me before shaking his head, probably trying to figure out how I was in a school like Sanguis. He raised his gun and pointed it at me but before he could pull the trigger a blue pellet hit him in the side of the head. He shot an angry glance at who ever shot him.

Thanks, Darcy.

"The lion has the key!"

I held my hand over the comms unit inserted in my ear as Selena whisper-yelled into it, I glanced over at Darcy and she nodded. Both of us shot in the direction of our base, leaving two boys confused and a bit dazed for barely a moment before the one who Darcy shot gestured for the other one to follow us.

I looked over my shoulder and saw that he was barely on our tail. Must be new, he isn't running very fast and he's holding his gun wrong, I thought. I snickered as he shouted for us to stop, then pretended to fall and hurt his ankle. That made Darcy laugh loudly. By the time he had gotten up and was chasing us again we were already gone.

Well, not gone but hiding in the trees with our guns pointed at his head.
