The room was silent now as the general had left. I looked at the head of the person in front of me and managed to find some streaks of white in them, when a husky and beavy boomed through the room, "Everyone, line up!"

I shifted my eyes to his face and saw seriousness clear as day. His face deciphered that he'd be anywhere but here. His eyes sweeped the crowd, everyone tried to quickly line up straight. I found a place on seventh last. Well.

I thought we'd be led out of the room and shown our repected sleeping places but rather he started to name each one of us. "Amanda Smith. Stand here."

He showed her a spot on the ground and asked her to crouch down. Her dyed hair was pulled back in a pony-tail with no make up shit on. She was an african american I guess, but she looked determined and not like the other girls in here. Maybe I could have one friend.

"Down.", Senior Harry's voice siad firmly.

She crouched and suddenly a glass cylinder, circling all around her crouched frame, came up swiftly from the floor and swallowed her beneath in a click of light.

I looked at the floor, inspecting it from my position which was almost impossible. Yep.

"Elen Hudgens". A boy with sleek brown hair walked up to him and the same was done to him.

"Lily Fratt". A quivering girl with pimples and white died hair. Odd. I have no idea how she didn't quit already.

"Cecilia Peter". An olive skinned walked up. She was beautiful for sure but a brat, I could see that as the bright red lipstick and fake eyelashes gave it away. She walked up to him and stood there like a model, posing for her senior. Senior Harry on the other hand, was checking his Ipad for all the names been called, he didn't even acknowledge her as he gestured her to step on the respective place.

"Kelly Rosepants". A cheery girl with deep red curls. Dyed. Yep.

"Um...wait, what is this? Uh, Patience Lloyd?". He spoke the name like it didn't mean anything and was a stupid choice of letters. I gritted my teeth together and walked out of the line and towards the 'teleporting' floor.

He stood at my right side with an Ipad in his hand. But now, he didn't look too busy to stare into it, because he was staring at me. With that annoyance again. I closed my eyes so that he couldn't catch my eye roll, he was my senior after all, I had to become like him and snatch his place next. This thought made me smirk slightly and I opened my eyes to see his narrowed.

After a moment of him studying me, he said, "Crouch". I did as told and just after a second, the glass came up and swallowed me in it. It was a compact place so I couldn't particularly do anything even if I wanted to. I looked up if I could see the place from where we had come, no.

It was like a glass bolt which was taking us to a whole new world. And that is why, like a bullet set on fire, it was starting to heat up because of its speed. Now, I was crouching and my hand were on the glass, nothing covering them so this made me uncomfortable because the blisters were already forming on the skin. But I didn't move because I know this is casual to be expected and they wanna check they had the right people.

My eyebrows furrow as a voice inside the glass spoke, "Jump". It was the same husky voice so I new it was Senior Harry speaking. But all of it happened in such a short timing that I fell on the ground. The other loop was on the freaking ceiling and that's why he said jump. But he was so late. Isn't he supposed to tell me halfway or something?

I fell on the hard metal ground with a thud, my elbow made a slight cruching sound. I grit my teeth and tried to stand up. I have to be quick if I want to survive this place and with the Trivia. And that is that.

I stood up quickly but my elbow was in pain, including my blistered fingers, burning with excessive pain. I shut my eyes and think, think for a moment and when I open them I look around to see that I was in a row of bunks all around. Bunks were to my right and then to my left and then I could see rows of it further too. I looked at my name plate on the top most one and released a heavy sigh. Now I had to climb, there were two bunks beneath me and a ladder at the right.

But I couldn't do it without falling a hundred and one times. And then break my already limp arm. I sighed and looked around to see if there was any senior who could help me.

Some people were climbing their bunks while I stood here waiting for some miracle to hap-

"Um, hey". I turned around to see Amanda Smith standing behind me biting down her bottom lip. I frowned in confusion and then gave her a small smile after saying, "Hey."

"Uh, I was just wondring if you could, maybe, exchange bunks?" She said with a nervous tone laced to her voice. I stared at her in awe and then asked her which bunk was hers? And why she wanted to change?

"Actually, mine is in the row of seniors and one os them is my brother and he has permitted me to exchange becauee I don't like all those rude boys and stuff. And, yeah, if you could maybe help me with this, my bunk no. is 25A, which means a ground level one. Are you okay with it? I mean if you're not than it's fine. I'll fi-" She was rambling obiously and I cut her with a smile and a 'sure'. I needed it, and god presented me a miracle, well.

So, she guided me to her bunk and I realised we couldn't just wander off in the housing department because it was a massive maze with thousands of bunks spread in a room the size of an arena. I sighed as we finally reached her bunk and I found out many seniors were junping here and there, some talking with each other loudly and some laying in their bunks and typing away on their Iphones.

As I was fitting my name plate on the place where Amanda had taken her's off I heard a voice, "So you found one?"

I turned around and saw Amanda nodding her head to a senior who was sitting on the top most bunk on my bunks. The middle one was empty and I could careless to who's bunk it was.

"Oh, yeah, this my new friend," she looked at me to confirm and I inhaled and said, "Patience."
