Combat Training

     I woke up to see Clara shaking me like crazy. She was yelling and finally she pushed me onto the ground. Clara was wearing a uniform like I had seen boarding school wearing only she was wearing pants and not a skirt. She pointed to the outfit on my dresser. My eyes snapped open at what I saw.

     "Why do I have to wear a skirt? You get to wear pants." I pointed out.

     "I never thought of you as the type that would refuse a skirt but here." She tossed me a pair of pants. I got up for the ground and dressed. Almost immediately after, Clara took my hand and rushed me out of the room. For some reason, I heard her curse but when I asked her why, she refused to answer. Clara opened a door to another room where I saw Zack lying on his bed.

     "It's about time you got here. We're going to be late." He said.

     "Well, Oaks woke up late and I can't run here without killing her. Let's go." Clara answered and the three of us began to walk. I noticed that her hands were twitching and I suspected that she always had to be doing something. Zack opened the door to another room that had a huge runway in the middle.

     "Welcome to combat training." he said as a teacher came running up to me.

     "Hi, my name is Mr. Roschay. I am the teacher of this class. You may take a seat anywhere we are just getting started for a small competition. I nodded my reply while taking a seat in the very back next to my friends.

     "Zack, how did you get here?" I asked him while the teacher started an introduction.

     "Oh, my parents couldn't understand my power and they were afraid that I would manipulate them. What about you? After that fire, I never saw you again. I thought you were dead." He suddenly seemed interested in me.

     "I ----"

     "Miss Carolina, would you like to share your discussion with the class?" Mr. Roschay interrupted me.

     "No, Mr. Roschay." I shifted uncomfortably in my seat.

     "Well then, maybe you would like to go first in our little competition. I would like you and Miss Carter to step up to the platform." 

     Reluctantly, I faced the girl. She smirked, put her hands on her hips, and mumbled something about the competition being easy.

     "Now, girls, I want you to simply knock each other out or off of the platform. You may begin once the timer rings in five seconds." Mr. Roschay explained. I glared at my competitor and let my anger grow. The timer rang.

I am interested to see what happens next...but I find myself more interested in her and Zack's past then who gets knocked off the platform.
