Short Chapter Sorry
Chapter Theme Song (You will see lots of Taylor Swift songs): Demons by Imagine Dragons
Today, failed initiates will be joining the factionless. 2 Sharps, 2 Lions. My morning started normal. I had cold soup, harvested and hung out with Sam and Jake. We're waiting to see who they are. The giant gate at the fence opened. In came 2 girls and 2 boys. They walked towards us. I think I recognize them.
"Hello. Who used to be Sharps and who used to be Lions?" Jake asks.
"I'm Mikayla. This is Winston. We're from Sharp." One of the girls said. The boy beside her looked nervous. The other 2 introduced themselves as Carly and George.
"I know them." Sam whispered in my ear.
"Hey, you used to be 7500, right?" Mikayla asked.
"Get away from me." Sam said.
"Guys, chill." Jake said.
We walked together back to the building where the leaders explained everything. I called Sam to corner. I needed answers.
"What's up with you and Mikayla?"
"She and I have a history. She was the bully, I was the victim." Sam confessed.
"Oh." I was expecting much worse. I held his hand. He must feel so uncomfortable around her. "I'll protect you."
He smiled.

My eyes fluttered open. Carly and Sam were standing right beside me.
"Guys stop crowding me." I said rubbing my eyes.
"We need to get Mikayla back for this." Sam was saying.
"Back for what?" I asked. Carly held up a mirror. I stared at my reflection. I had a moustache and a goatee drawn on to my face. "What an amateur prank. Help me get it off." We wiped as hard as we can. Luckily, I was facial hair free when we finished.
"Thanks guys. Group hug?" We hugged each other. We headed to breakfast. Mikayla approached us.
"Eww, Free. What happened to your face? It's all red." She said.
"An amateur prank happened. I think it was some preschooler who did it." I said.
"Are you calling my prank amateur?"
"Are you admitting that you did it?"
"I'm not ashamed to admit I have a sense of humor and you don't."
My fist was ready but I held back. I can't let her win. Sam had other plans. I watched as he started punching her.
"Sam! No!" I said trying to pull him back. I was too late. The damage was done. He finally got up.
"That was for all the years you bullied me." Sam said satisfied. All the factionless looked at him. They believe in peace, not violence. Ruby walked over towards us.
"Sam, the leaders would like to talk to you."
The last I saw of Sam was him being led by Ruby into a small room.
"You're being kicked out?" I gasped.
"Well yeah. I'm being sent out of the city because I was violent. I'm a factionless factionless." Sam said.
"How long do you have?"
"2 months to prove my loyalty."
"Then you better prove it."
I can't imagine living without Sam. He's my best friend. He means so much to me. I love him. No, not that way. Or maybe? No. Definitely not.
