CHAPTER TWELVE

Our meal was served in a mess hall twice the size of the dining hall back home. The recreation building looked like an hold airplane hangar, separated into lounge areas, a media center, and the long narrow hall for communal meals. The more time I spent on campus, the more I could see why Ryland hadn’t wanted to leave. Everything was immaculate and modern.

We entered two-by-two; Phylicia was to my right. Luke and Ryland were behind us. I was relieved when Luke finally came to the dormitory. He was tired and cranky from shipping all the students across the country, but he could at least intervene if Ryland’s presence stirred up more trouble. Their friendship was a tangled and confusing one, but I couldn’t judge, especially when I thought about my love life.

Warmth was radiating from the dining hall; it was large and simple in design. Long metal tables stood in rows, with metal benches for seating. Dinner was waiting for us in covered metal dishes.

We were ushered in by a volunteer student from the west campus. Each campus was required to sit together. West campus took up two long rows of seating, with the other three only taking up one. Thankfully, we were directed to a seat closer to the front, where a temporary stage had been erected.

Once we were seated, the east and south campuses were let in one by one. I was impressed by the discipline. Everything here went as smooth as clockwork.

My stomach cramped at the smell of food. I stared at the covered dinners, feeling more like an animal than a human. Breakfast had been hours ago and the added three hours only made my gnawing hunger worse.

Luke sat across from me and I noticed his hands were shaking.

“You ok?” I asked.

Luke met my eyes. “Exhausted. Don’t worry about me.” He forced a smile.

“Well I’m starving,” Phylicia added. She was watching the last of the south campus walk in, drumming her fingernails on the metal tabletop. A small flame flicked across her knuckles.

Finally, once everyone was seated, a tall man in a gray suit took his place at the podium. “Good evening everyone,” He said. His voice boomed, amplified by the microphone on his lapel. His eyes were cold and his face looked like it was made out of stone. “On behalf of the Federal Psychic Academy, I am pleased to welcome you to West Campus.” He gestured to the rows one by one. “If the representatives from each campus could stand for recognition?”

A woman stood up at the tables closest to the door. “Good evening. I am Dean Brier, and on behalf of the east campus, thank you for having us.” She spoke with a Boston accent. She was beautiful and fit for her age and her salt-and-pepper gray hair was cut short. The east campus students wore black training uniforms with a golden stripe across the chest.

The south campus stood out the most, dressed in shades of gray and army green. A man stood up, looking a bit too young to be in charge of the second largest campus in the country.
