CHAPTER SIX

James

The fact that I'm in some weird looking classroom is so confusing. I hardly wanted to go on this trip to Tennessee in the first place.

"You'll get a piece of paper and fill it out right away!" the man in a suit yelled.

Why do I need to fill out a paper? I'm not at the doctor's office or anything. Also it's summer so there's no tests until the fall.

He walked over to the desk and got the paper before giving it to us he held them and sighed. Then he went to each of us and gave us a paper turned where we can't see it.

"Fill out the paper now! " he screamed.

I really didn't want to do this test. It's summer and it's not the time for that. Plus I'm not supposed to start high school until another month and I certainly don't want to start now.

"Also I'm supposed to let the first one to finish leave so feel free to hurry up if you want to go home" he continued.

I turned around my paper and quickly filled it out until I got to the third and final question. What is overpopulation? What is that supposed to mean?

"It's a thing where there's a lot of people and not a lot of space" the girl next to me whispered staring at my paper.

"Oh thanks I know" I replied.

"No talking!" the weird guy shouted as the first person turned in their paper.

Looks like I'm not gonna be the first anyway. This whole thing is becoming more and more crazy.

After everyone finished their tests or whatever that was we got to leave and go to the auditorium.

Celia saw me in the hallway and ran up to me to give me a hug. She was crying and looked really happy.

"Why are you so happy?" I asked.

"I get to leave! I was first to finish the questions" she replied laughing.

Does she know that although I am the fastest at writing I was still third to turn it in? Even though I'm happy for her that means nothing good for me.

"That's great Celia!" I smiled as I walked away.

"Aren't you coming with me?" she asked confusingly.

I don't know how to explain to my older sister that I'm basically stuck her.

"I'm stuck here" I said.

She looked at me and sighed. Then she took off her weird badge thing she was wearing and thew it in the trash.

"Looks like I'm not going anywhere then." she sighed and headed towards the auditorium.

"Wait why?" I asked confused why she would just throw away here ticket out of here.

"I'm not leaving my little brother duh" she said as she walked into the auditorium.

Not lots of people were in here at first but then after a little while it started to get crowded inside and darker outside.

Right before it was too packed for anyone to move the intercom. Rebeca had found us and she was sitting in Celia's lap.

"ALL BOYS HEAD TO THE GYM!" the intercom said.

I said bye to my sisters and rushed out of the auditorium desperate to finally get some space. The auditorium was way too crowded.

Before heading to the gym I used the bathroom so once I got to the gym everyone was pretty much there.

"You guys are sleeping here tonight." the guard said in the microphone followed by a bunch of "ugh's" and groans.

This is not my ideal place to sleep and I definitely won't be getting any actual sleep but alright.
