"Kat! Wake up!"
I was still in bed, hiding beneath the sheets of my bed. "Coming...I'll be there in five minutes..." I murmured. "That's what you said five minutes ago!" That was my mom. She wanted me to get up early today because I was going to go on an adventure in the outdoors. I haven't been outside in a long time. Plus, my dad kept on bugging me about this thing called the Hunter Exam. I mean, it sounds easy, knowing that I know about Nen and all. (A/N: Yeah, I know about Nen in this story. And probably in other stories as well.)
"Alright..." I rolled off my bed, and landed on my face. Then, I set up my sheets and arranged my pillows. Then I walked off lazily to the door. "Why do you guys even want me to take this exam thing, anyway?" I asked then sat down at the table. "Well..." My mom started off. "You might find kids your age, and befriend them. And you don't have to be stuck in our house and, you know. Explore the outdoors?" My mom nudged me then poured the milk in my cereal. "Mom...how am I supposed to find people that are twelve years old? I mean, even if I did find kids my age, they probably wouldn't even know Nen! The kids in our neighborhood do-"
My mom interrupted me. But that made me feel better a bit. "Your dad met a few kids his age when he took the exam. You don't have to worry about it."
I sighed, then nodded. "Okay..." Then I finished eating my breakfast then went off to pack my stuff.
"Okay. I'm ready." I took a deep breath in, then stared toward the door. Then I breathed out. "It'll be alright. You even know Nen! Your dad said that none of the people there even knew Nen yet." My mom said. "Thanks, mom. I'll call you when I get there." I checked to see that my phone was in my bag then gave a thumbs up to my mom. I opened the door, then took a step outside. "Ah...this feels so good!" I haven't been outside in a while.
I turned back to the door, which was already closed. Then I took a few steps forward, then increased my pace, then ran to the ship that was headed toward the exam. I felt the brisk ocean breeze, then went up the steps to the ship.
"Hey! Little girl! Are you on your way to the exam? Because you might be on the wrong ship!" The person called out to me while snickering a bit. I then sighed then stared at the person like he was dumb. And he was dumb, messing with a Nen-user like that. I just ignored him, then walked around the big ship to explore. Then I felt the ship shake a little. I guess the ship was just about to depart.
I walked off to the side of the ship where I could see the ocean. "The view is so cool, right?" One person said. "Y-yeah. It is." He looked about the same age as me. I mean, we were about the same height. He had spiky black hair, and wore green clothes. "I'm Gon! Nice to meetcha!" He stretched out his hand toward mine. "I'm Katelyn. But you could just call me Kat." I shook his hand. Then, he grinned at me. I guess a new friendship was about to start.
