Chapter 1 – Months Later - Eva
'And thus, this is how the war ended in 2067 after only a few months of being at war, an amazing record for the…'
I put my hand up. Hey, it was worth a shot.
'What is it now?' my teacher asked me angrily.
Which meant she was kind of fed up about me talking about things that had to do with what happened a few months ago.
'Well, you know, there are a lot worse things than the Crogs out there. I mean, come on! We haven't even explored half of the universe and there may just be a ton of things we must fear more than the…' I explained.
'That's enough Eva,' the teacher snapped.
I crossed my arms angrily. It was true! It wasn't my fault my stupid astronomy teacher didn't like me. Crogs are not the worst thing out there!
'Where was I? Oh, the Crogs are the most feared race we as humans have come across and I doubt there ever will be anything to match them. I do not think like some people, that there are other things out there. That idea is just silly and childish,' the teacher smirked.
Oh, thanks. How much did dad pay for me to go here? A thousand? More? So far it's not been worth it. No, that's an understatement of the decade. Make that century.
I mean I know my dad is the big Don Wei but it's not like I'm a snob. I don't think. Am I? God, no I'm not going through this again. Everyone treats me that way though. Even the actual snobs.
Also, half the teachers hate me. It's not my fault that they were told by a certain someone, who I will personally kill when I find out who they are, told them I set off a stink bomb. In the teacher's lounge. So most of them hate me. Except Miss Robinson, who is the only teacher I bother to actually remember her name.
'…also, Crogs have forced many alliances or even taken over many other planets surrounding their own empire. They also use dangerous technology and even their war ships are used for star racing!' my teacher went on.
This was the only truth she has said all day. All day. I should know. I raced against those ships.
The bell finally rang. I ran out of the room to get first in line for lunch. I know that it's more slop than food but it saves me always looking like a friend-less girl eating my lunch alone. It's something I kind of want to avoid.
I got in the queue and waited for only like a few seconds. I'm the only one who is ever early for lunch. As soon as I smelt the 'food' when I arrived, I kind of knew why.
'So, what's on the death cart today? Just, well, seeing as I'm going to have to eat it and stuff,' I looked at the bubbling mixture.
'Its mystery meat,' the dinner lady dumped a whole scoop of the lumpy stuff on my tray.
What a surprise. I mean, would it kill them to serve something actually edible? I guess not. So I went off and sat down. I made sure to eat in a hurry. Thankfully I had packed that special dust stuff. It's sometimes hard to get but it makes everything taste good. Even mystery meat.
Besides, that stuff was served almost a century ago. You would think that they would change it but some stuff never changes. For the better or worse.
Like the whole 'Avatar' thing. I didn't exactly know if you won that you'd become the actual thing. I wouldn't have raced so hard if I knew. I was trying to bring my mother back. I mean after you get abandoned a few days after she dies, then yeah, maybe you think it will all be better if she's alive again.
It wasn't. I won the race to stop a Crog getting the title. If he had won, then I would be scared of Crogs. Seeing as they could destroy the whole universe. No, I'm not even the Avatar.
I refused. That's when I met Canaletto. When I and a bunch of my friends went to reclaim my position, he managed to stop me from becoming Avatar. So in a moment when I was floating around being useless, Jordan, one of my friends, sacrificed his human ways and became Avatar.
I haven't really forgiven myself. Well, because I was sort of selfish, I almost destroyed the universe. But I also think that maybe some of my so called 'friends' may actually, hmm, I don't know…contact me?
The only person I have since from the race since it ended is my dad. I don't think he has much of a choice which that either. I live with him.
But the rest? Not a single word.
I suppose I can forgive Aikka and Jordan but everyone else? They live on Earth for god's sake!
Also, seeing as I'm only 15, I'm not allowed to race. Until I'm 18. So if I'm caught star racing in the next 2 and half years, then it's goodbye to seeing Nurasia or Oban for a very long time. Which given the current situation, isn't going to happen anyway.
Well, I'm done with the 'food'. I might as well go and do what I always do during the hour of ultimate boredom.
I like going on the roof. It's flat and smooth and no one can bother me form up there too. I just listen to my cat player until the bell rings. I also just daydream. It's kind of nice. I can just be me.
Sometimes I hear some stuff that's even louder than my cat player. Which is really annoying. Could they just shut up?
I took out my headphones and decided to listen. God, I don't have anything else to do, do I?
'I'm telling you, she is a pain!' I could hear one of my teachers.
Yay. Another conversation about me. Might as well.
'Please, calm down. I know she is not an angel but she is having a harsh time around here. I'm sure she is trying to fit in but no one really likes her,' Miss Robinson sighed.
This is why I like her. She knows me. It sucks having no one understand you. She is the only nice teacher around here.
'Well guess what? I decided to send her away on an exchange trip with another planet that has suggested this idea to us. Many schools have refused but I quite like the idea of little Eva going away for a day or so,' another teacher piped up.
Yes! A chance to get out of this hell hole! I'm in!
'So, we suggest to her that she goes to…' Miss Robinson gestured.
'Nurasia. Yes, almost immediately. I know it is Crog-ridden but think of her opportunities!' another teacher pointed out.
Oh yes I am in! Any chance I have of going to Nurasia I will take!
I suppose Nurasia has been taken over by Crogs…but it's not like I'm actually scared of them. And there is the incredibly tiny possibility that I could see Aikka. It would mark off as seeing one person I actually know since the race.
So…I'm in!
