Testing

Caleb

The building was made of brick and had ivy all up and down the walls. There was a large fountain outside the main building which was surrounded by a large grassy area. A man was directing the students to chairs that were all on the grass. When we were quiet the man made an announcement. "Welcome students. We will begin orientation as soon as all the students are here. In the meantime, talk amongst yourselves and we will call your attention when we require it."

The two girls turned to where Jasper and I were sitting behind them. "So?" I asked them with a smirk. "Is it everything you ever dreamed?" I asked making sure to sound extremely sarcastic.

"Shut up Caleb, this is amazing." Ingrid said with a grin. "Can't you believe we're finally here!"

Jasper rolled his eyes. "I can believe it alright."

"Rude!" Ingrid said and they started bickering. I'm not surprised, those two bicker more than Sky and me and we're the siblings here.

Sky and I looked at each other, after 15 years together we have these looks we share. It's almost like we can communicate without talking, it's pretty cool.

She rolled her eyes can you believe these guys?

I nodded, then shrugged, yeah, but they're out friends what can you do about it.

She slid down and a bit and sighed, I guess but it's still kinda annoying.

I smiled a little, I can't disagree on you about that.

She sat up and pulled out some cards, wanna play gin rummy?

I shrugged and held out my hand, Sure, deal up.

We played cards and Ingrid and Jasper bickered until the man from before came back onstage. He tapped the mic and everyone became quiet. Sky put the cards away and turned to the front. The man smiled, "Hello, hello, hello!" He said "My name is Mr. Gills and welcome to Testing!"

So that was a short chapter to introduce you to Caleb's POV. Occasionally I'll have little author's notes and such will be in italics down at the bottom of chapters.

Gin Rummy is a two person card game where the goal is to get three of a kind and four of a kind,( I'm not going to include all the rules for this game. If you want to learn how to play, look it up.) My mom taught it to me when I was little so I thought I'd include that for a game.
