Risk it all Chapter 2

Why would a person like me risks everything,

When we had absolutely nothing.

From our town to the next town over. We were crossing I-40 and just awhile ago, we passed a small creek.

So, I told you I couldn't trust anyone. Not even adults. Trusting adults would end in a dead end. But I had two other people, Amu and Yaya. They were the only ones that I've known that didn't judge. Amu was the same age as me. She believed anything was possible. Yaya was about the a year younger than us and at the moment, she was clinging to my arm sleeping.

"Rima?" Amu called out.

"What now?"

"Aren't you excited? We finally get a new start!" She said as a smile slowly invaded her face. Her eyes started to glaze over, her smile growing as we passed a speed bump.

"What's so good about it? Nothing will change." I replied in a monotone voice. Normally, someone would get discouraged by me. But with Amu, that rarely happens.

"Well, we get to change, start anew!"

"How do you suppose the change will happen?" I asked, crossing my ankles together.

"We become new people, you know! Our outer characters molding into our real ones, so we are who we wanna be." She said, her eyes going into a dreamy state.

"That's just lying not only to yourself, but to everyone around you." I pointed out.

"No, It's called changing. C-h-a-n-g-e." SHe retorted. Sighing, she took the hint that I gave up talking to her about it. Looking outside, bunches of buildings came into view. Spotting a medium sized building, we pulled up to it, and minutes later we were inside.

The building smelled like Lysol, and was covered in fake over-grown plants. The first thing you'd see were the marbled staircase. Having been already informed on what to do when we first got here, we dispersed. Before I could ever get to the first step, still carrying Yaya on my back, Amu grabbed my hand and made a mad-dash to the dorms. Picking the one with a walk-in closet, bunk beds, and a single, we collapsed on the floor. Panting for air, I watched as Amu jumped into the air and somehow glided to the top bunk, claiming it as hers. Feeling the weight from my back vanish, I realized Yaya probably woke up in our dash, who wouldn't?

After claiming the lower bunk, Yaya goes to the single. I slowly dazed out, only hearing Amu's squealing about everything softly, like a whisper. Snapping out of my trance, I walked over to the walk-in closet, and thats when a thought hit me. "Why do we have a walk-in closet when we don't even have-," I started saying as I opened the closet door. The closet was filled with bunches of items, clothes especailly and all were the right fit. It was like they knew we'd be here.

"What were you saying?" I hear Amu call out behind me.

"Nothing." I said, turning around to face her and making an 'X' with my arms. Glancing around the closet as I slowly closed it, I spotted uniforms. We had to attend school tomorrow, I thought as i mentally slapped myself. God, I was going to die.

Enjoy the new version! xD Thanks guys!
