"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Tak and Tenn jumped around their apartment squealing with joy. Running around and jumping on the couch and hugging each other, they were so happy. They were both holding large A4 letters in their hands. They both run to the couch and jumped on it sliding down into a slouch.
"This is so great! We've been accepted to military school." Tenn looked across to Tak and smiled.
"I know I can't believe it. Me and you, Tak and Tenn, were even in the same group I mean, is that cool or what?" Taks hands were balled into fists and pressed together in front of her chest.
"Defiantly cool." Tenn nodded as she spoke, agreeing with Tak.
"You know what Tenn?" Tak turnt to face her friend and looked at her.
"What?" Tenn looked back at Tak
"I think were the lucklyist Irkens ever."
"What about our tallest?"
"Hey! When we've got each other, who needs to be tall anyway!" Tak's sentence was a statement not a question. Tak stared at the letter she received moments ago reading it over and over again as if she couldn't believe what had happened. Tenn got up and walked to the kitchen. Tak then looked up from her letter, walked over to the glass balcony door and put her palm flat against the cold glass and looked out to the horizon.
"I wonder if Mar got in?" She said to anyone and no one in a quiet whisper. Tenn heard her.
"Who?" Tenn peeked her head around the fridge door, which was now wide open and looked over to Tak still looking out the window, as if looking for something, someone, her face a picture of wonder and sadness.
"Mar. from the physical exam. He was on our team remember?" Tak sighed.
"Oh yeah I remember." Tenn closed the fridge door with her elbow and placed what she had in her arms on the side. "The weird blue one, he looks weird." Tenn reached into the cupboard and grabbed a loaf of bread and took out two slices.
"Only cos he's different!" Tak spun around and looked into the kitchen at Tenn.
"Hey I never said weird was a bad thing did I? No!" Tenn turnt round and looked at Tak as she finished buttering the bread.
"Sorry I didn't mean to shout at you I just.I wish I knew." Tak looked back out to the glass and put her forehead against it. Tenn finished cutting the cheese and put the cheese wire board to the side. She placed the cheese onto the bread and then put the other slice on top, she carefully cut the bread in half then put it onto a plate and looked round to see Tak. She looked so lost, just staring into nothingness. Then all of a sudden Tak looked up and pointed out the window. Tenn looked over noticing Tak's movement and took a bite out of her sandwich.
"There he is! It's Mar. And he's got a letter. He must be in to it has to be!" Tak pushed the door open and stepped onto the balcony. Tenn placed her sandwich back onto the plate and put it on the side, then came over to see.
"Hey Mar!" Mar looked around him and saw nothing. Then he looked up and saw Tak leaning over the balcony. He smiled then he waved.
"What are you doing?" Mar shouted at Tak with a concerned look on his face. Leaning over a balcony could hurt if she leaned over too far and fell.
"Coming to see you silly!" and with that Tak started to climb over the railings and then extended her spider legs for safety and started to carefully scale down the building using the other balconies like steps.
"Tak be careful were on the 9th floor!" Tenn shouted from inside as she rushed out to the balcony.
"I am being careful!" Tak turnt round and shot Tenn a smile. Tenn put her hands over her eyes, she felt couldn't watch, but the curiosity was there. She opened her fingers oh so slightly and peeked out. When Tak reached the bottom she jumped down to the floor and ran over to Mar.
"Your crazy Tak! You could have killed yourself!"
"Ahh that'll never happen. I'm always careful." Tak threw her arms around Mar's shoulders and hugged him, and then he hugged back. Tenn put her elbow on the railing and rested her chin on her hand, and then she let out a sigh.
"They look so sweet." She nodded, agreeing to herself. Back on the floor Tak and Mar stopped hugging.
"So? Did you get in?" Tak looked up into Mars eyes.
"Yep. Squad 27A. What squad you in?"
"I'm in, umm.I can't remember." they both started laughing and Tenn couldn't help but wonder what it was all about.
"I'll go see." Tak went to walk of and then turnt around.
"Hey wanna come up while I get my letter and find out? Tenn won't mind." Tenn wondered why Tak had motioned her head up to Tenn. Then they stopped and then Mar started to walk with Tak to the building.
"Sure!" Mar put his arm round Tak's shoulder. Tenn looked as they walked through the main entrance.
"Oh god a boys coming in and I'm still not dressed! It's 10:30, god this makes me look so lazy. I've got to get dressed!" Tenn ran into her room and quickly started to get dressed
"AH! Where's my other glove? I can't find my glove! Eep." Tenn looked franticly around her room and then saw something black peeking out from under the bed. It was her glove. She pulled it out and brushed of the dust, she really meant to hoover but she just hadn't got round to it yet. She pulled on her glove and ran to the closet. She got out her boots and quickly put one on. "Oops! Wrong foot." Tenn put her boots on the right foot and rushed out to open the front door. Just as she opened the door 'ping!' the elevator doors opened and Tak and Mar stood inside.
"Wow nice timing Tenn." Tak gave Tenn thumbs up and her and Mar walked in. Tenn closed the door behind them. Then she realised, Tak was still in her nightie, and she couldn't care. Tak never cared what people thought about her. Tenn giggled to herself and walked over to the couch, sat down and picked up a book and started reading.
" I know its here somewhere I just need to find it." Tak picked up things and put them back down searching but not finding. Tenn looked to the empty seat next to her and saw Tak's letter. She smiled and picked it up and started to wave it in the air like a flag. Mar saw what Tenn was doing and started to laugh. Tak turnt around and looked at Mar.
"What?" She looked confused but then she saw Tenn with her letter. Tak walked over and took it and Tenn just laughed as did Mar.
"Hmmm lets see, dear Tak, blah blah blah congratulations blah blah. Oh here it is. You have been assigned to squad 27B."
"Damn!" Mar looked disappointed as he stared at the floor.
"What Mar?" Tak looked confused.
"Im squad 27A your 27B."
"What? Really?"
"Sorry." Mar looked as disappointed as Tak did. Tenn looked over the back of the couch and sighed. She felt sorry for them, she knew how much they liked each other.
"I think its age." Tak and Mar looked round at Tenn who was kneeling down with her arms crossed on the back of the couch.
"Huh?"
"They sort the groups by age. Mar's four days older then you so that's why he's in squad 27A. Were younger putting us in squad 27B with people like Ark, Fik, Rozz and. oh no." Tak and Tenn looked at each other with disappointment. They both spoke at the same time.
"Zee!" They both sighed not believing their bad luck.
"Lets hope she didn't pass." Tenn said crossing her fingers.
"Right." They both sighed as Mar looked down on them confused. He scratched his head.
"Take it you two don't like her then?" Tak and Tenn looked at him,
"NO!" they both raised their voices and shouted at him. Mar didn't dare ask their reason for not liking her. That could wait until another time.
Tak and Mar sat on Tak's bed. Tak looked sad and Mar was silent, looking to the floor. Tak turnt to look at him.
"This won't change anything will it? I mean we'll still be friends right?"
"Of course we will. Its only three days a week. We'll see each other on the days we got off. And we'll still see each other in the late afternoons and evenings even on training days." Mar looked into Tak's eyes, and watched as they softened at his words.
"Your right. I'm just being stupid."
"Awww no way. I think it's sweet that you care so much." Tak blushed and turnt away, she hated people seeing her blush, it was so embarrassing. Mar reached out his hand and touched her cheek, she felt the heat rush to her cheeks, and she was blushing more now.
"Look I better be going, I told Kray I'd only be an hour and I've gone way over. I'll call you or something later k?"
"Yeah." Tak turnt round and looked at him, somehow she knew he wasn't lying.
"Mar?"
"Yeah?"
"Never mind it doesn't matter."
"You sure?" Tak nodded as Mar got up and started to walk to the door. Tak ran after him and opened it for him, he smiled and walked out without saying a word and headed to the elevator. Tak watched as he slowly walked away. He pressed the button and waited for the doors to open. Then it came, a ping was heard and the doors slowly glided open. Mar turnt around.
"Guess I'll see ya later then." He went in and pressed the 'g' button.
"Guess so." Tak put one leg behind the other and tapped her foot on the floor.
"Uh.Bye."
"Bye" Tak's voice was a quiet sad whisper. She raised her arm and went to wave just as the doors closed.
"WAIT!" Tak dashed and hit the button. 'Ding!' the doors slid open and Mar stood there looking confused.
"I thought it wasn't moving. And I was right, it wasn't." Tak stood there and smiled at him, the smile that Mar now loved. As the doors started closing again Mar pushed the hold button and Tak walked in.
"We need to talk." And with that the doors closed.
**3rd chapters up. Chapter 4 is on its way very soon as it's already written. Just need to change a few things.**
