CHAPTER ONE- JUST FREINDS
I was walking to the training school; my father had taught me how to throw knifes. Perfectly. Not to sound, modest but, i am amazing, the best you have ever seen.
But no I had to go to school to learn anything my farther thinks he has missed on teaching me.
I'd been going to this school for a year now and today were being moved into an older group just liked you would classes at a normal school, I was going into year 10.
I was walking down the path cover by trees to the school,
"Another day's torture" I say under my breath.
I hate having to walk to school, I have my sling bag on my shoulder and I'm about to walk into my school when I hear my name being called.
"Clove!" I turn around and see its Cato.
We've been friends ever since I was little he's a year older than me he was 16 and he would be going into year 11 but the higher Year 10's get to go into the year 11 class, so this year I was in the same class as Cato.
There was a bunch of girls surrounding him holding onto his arms and all trying to get to talking to him, "I've got to go girls" he says and jogs towards me.
"Bye Cato!" they all yell, he rolls his eyes to me when they can't see him.
I laugh at him and we walk inside.
"So I heard you're in my class this year" he says to me.
"Got that right, better be careful you might lose your top place in this class with my amazing knife throwing" I say to him with my hand on my chest,
"I know you better not show me up midget" he says to me.
I kick him in the shin and smile, "oww! That hurt!" he says.
"Aww is baby Cato ok" I say in a baby voice and he smiles at me.
"Fuck off" he says and smiles at me.
I laugh and we both head to the year 11 block taking notice of were I'm going because I haven't been allowed in here; Cato has since he was here last year in year 10.
"Right, watch midget" he says to me which makes me scowl at him.
"You always need to scan your thumb before you walk in, because if you don't them think someone younger is trying to get in and as you know that isn't aloud" he looks at me and raises his eyebrows.
Last year I tried to sneak into the block and failed, the equipment I way better in there, ours is shit in the lower block.
"Haha very funny" I say to him and raise my eyebrows,
He scans his thumb and it shins red over were his thumb is and then the machine says "Cato Night, please enter" the glass doors open and he steps though them.
"Your turn" he says through the glass and nods his head to the thumb scanner.
I take a step over to it and rest my thumb on it; I cross my fingers hoping that the alarm doesn't go off when I tried to brake in last year.
"Clove Silverlight, please enter" says the voice, I let out I big breath of air in relief and walk through the doors.
Cato claps as I walk in "shut up you dick" I say to him,
"Ohh! Name calling are we?" he says, I just roll my eyes at him and walk up the corridor.
We keep walking down until we have found you training room were in,
"Here it is" he says and walks through the door and holding it open for me.
I walk through and there's loads of them, they were massive, all the boys must of at least been over six foot and all the girls but of been of been a few inches away.
I don't act scared though I can't be scared because that's how they brake me down.
As soon as we walk in Cato's friends from here walk up to him.
"Hey Cato" they all say and then turn their attention to me,
"Who's she?" some girl asks,
"that is the famous Clove" one of the boys tells her "This is the girl Cato's been on about, the one who is amazing at throwing knifes, I mean seriously do you ever listen to what anyone is saying if it's not about you" he says.
The tall girl scowls at him and goes to stand next to Cato.
"I'm Sam by the way" the boys says to me,
"Hi Sam" I say and he smiles at me, and I lean in to ask him "who's the wicked witch then?" I ask and smile,
"That is Elle, She's the most controlling, self absorbed bitch you will ever meet" Sam says,
"I see. So, that must be a sign to get away from her then" I say
"Pretty much so" he says and smiles.
"Cato, you never said your friend was so hot!" some other boys says
"Shut-up Collin" says Cato,
"What I was just saying! She is! Fancy meeting up later babe?" Collin says,
"First of all Collin doesn't call me 'babe' and why would I want to meet up with you?" I say and raise my eye brows.
"Wow ok, feisty one you are" He says,
"Yeah I fucking well am" I say
Before I can say anything else the instructor walks through the door,
"Right, shut the hell up and sit down" He says
As I'm going to sit down Cato grabs my arm,
"Nice one midget" he whispers in my ear
"All in a good days work" I say and smile.
We go to sit down and I sit in the middle of Sam and Cato, Elle is still linked on to Cato's arm.
"Right, today you have all moved up into year 11" the instructor begins, "Now you are here I expect best behaviour, which means no fights, no swearing and no laziness" he says,
"For you who do not know I am Mr. Julian but I can't be arsed with stupid last names so call me Richard".
Great we get the grumpy instructor, well if he's grumpy he might be good he's strict at least we will get somewhere.
"And there was only one year 10 who was skilled enough to get into this class and that is miss Clove Silverlight" he gestures his hand forward to me and everybody looks.
"Right now bugger off to your stations and train".
We all stand up and obviously I go to the Knife throwing to show that I am strong, just because I'm small doesn't make me weak.
I get there first and dump my bag on the floor and pull out my knifes in there rolled up cloth all in size order, I pull out three of my knifes since there are three dummies.
I put each blade of the knife in-between the gaps of my fingers,
"You're never going to achieve that, it's for higher trained careers" Elle says,
I swivel round on my feet "Watch me" I say,
I turn back to the dummies look down the end of my knifes and throw them all at the exact same time like I was throwing a Frisbee. All the them hit the target. Right in the centre.
"Sorry you were saying something?" I turn to Elle with her mouth open.
I let out a little laugh, I turn towards the dummies and walk over to them and pull out my knifes out of the little red circles in the middle and walk back.
"Your turn" I say and give a smirk.
She try's the same thing as me, and doesn't even hit one near the little red dot.
"Pathetic" I say "Now, move out of my station"
I turn to right and see Cato with his swords and smiles and shakes his head and mouths the words
'You're in for it now'.
