I rolled my eyes. "You think I care? Plus there was a guy-"
"YOU WHAT!" he screamed.
"Yea and he called the police." Timmy said like it was an accomplishment.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOURSELF IN!" he yelled.
"Yes I do, and that's why I gave the guy a bloody nose and ran. I know what I could have gotten myself in, but I didn't, so relax. I don't need a lecture ." I walked past him, Timmy and Joseph followed me.
"I swear they pick the most worried guards to guard the door." I said
We walked down the hallway toward the Clinic. This is where we live. When the adults turned on kids, we ran. Luckily some adults wouldn't give in to the government and ran with the kids. Those people were doctors, teachers, and other people that loved us kids so much. Those adults created secret places for us to grow up. Those adults passed their knowledge onto the kids and those kids grew up and are the adults of this generation.
I opened the glass door with the words CLINIC painted on it in red. The disgusting hospital smell reached my nose, making me gag. I hate that smell. I hate hospitals. I've trained myself to fight well so that I don't get hurt and end up here.
"Alexis! You're a little late, why is that? I see your mission was successful and you retrieved the medicine. Good!" said the doctor. The doctor is one of the adults here.
"It's Alex, and we came into a little trouble, no worries." I said. I hate it when people call me Alexis. We dropped the duffle bags and headed to the door.
"Thanks much, Alexis!" he said. I ignored that.
"I'm going to report that we're back." Joseph said and left. He doesn't say much, but he's the smartest guy I know.
"I'm hungry." Timmy said yawning. "And tired." Timmy on the other hand wasn't so smart, but he could turn any serious conversation into a joke.
"Same here." I said following him to the cafeteria. There was about one or two adults that cooked in the cafeteria, the rest were small children who loved to help. They always had food out, ready to eat. I grabbed a plate of what looked like macaroni and cheese and sat down across from Timmy. Timmy had a feast displayed before him. He had two helpings of macaroni, a bag of chips, chicken, and a fruit cup.
I raised an eyebrow.
His mouth was full of food when he spoke, "What? Told you I was hungry."
"We ate before we left. How could you possibly be THAT hungry? I will never understand boys." I said pushing my half eaten bowl of macaroni to the side.
"See you back at the room." I said taking my bowl to the garbage.
Once you turn twelve you are assigned a team, depending on which job you want. I chose the job of a supplier. A supplier is a person who goes out into the world to get supplies. Your team is your family. You share the same room, you are given the same missions, and you live together.
But why oh why was I put with two guys? These guys are my best friends. That's why.
I walked through the hallways until I reached our room. There was a dent in the door from where Timmy got really mad and took it out on the door. I pushed the door open. There were three single beds, a table, two chairs, and a bathroom. On the table was the picture of us three when we were twelve. I was in the middle with a hand over both the boys' shoulders. We were laughing our heads off.
I decided to take a shower. The hot water felt like Heaven. When I was done I sprawled out on my bed and quickly fell asleep.
