CHAPTER FIFTEEN

“Attention students. There will be a mandatory assembly today at thirteen hundred hours. Do not be late.” A crackling voice echoed through the halls.

I looked up at the speaker and wrinkled my nose. “Thirteen hundred?”

Phylicia laughed. “That means one o’clock in the afternoon. The Major still uses way too much army talk.”

“Oh,” I said with a sheepish chuckle. I felt dumb for not knowing that. I shrugged it off and drank the last of my water. “I guess I’m going to miss some training.” My stomach twisted nervously.

My training was supposed to be with Ms. Blackwell and I hadn’t heard a word about her condition all morning. It didn’t help that Luke was missing from class first period either. His absence weighed heavily on my mind. I forced myself not to think about it. I was making connections where they were none. Stupid anxious thoughts and nothing more, I reassured myself.

Phylicia glanced at my plate. “You’ve barely eaten anything, what’s up?”

I didn’t tell her about what happened last night. I didn’t want to accidentally let loose any rumors about Ms. Blackwell. I shrugged. “Homesick.”

Phylicia narrowed her eyes. “Are you sure it’s not boy trouble?”

I didn’t even have to lie this time. “I’m certain it’s not boy trouble.” I kept my voice as light as possible to elevate her worries; she didn’t press further. “Anyway,” I said after a moment. “I’m going to get changed for training so I can go directly to the facility after the assembly.”

Phylicia nodded.

I hoped that I didn’t offend her. I just couldn’t say anything until I knew for sure what happened.

I ran into Luke at the cafeteria doors. “Luke!” I exclaimed as I literally ran right into him.

Luke caught me by my arms. “Whoa, slow down, Bianca!” He laughed. “I was just coming to find you.”

“Oh? Why?” The feeling of butterflies returned.

“Major Griffiths wants to see you,” Luke said. “Well, see us, I suppose.”

The butterflies curled up and died.

Major Griffiths office was dark and made me feel claustrophobic. I kept my eyes on the carpet as Luke and I waited for him. Luke didn’t know what the meeting was about either, which only added to the feeling of dread.

The door opened with a creak and Major Griffiths walked in. Professor Turner followed him.

“I suppose you might know why you’ve been called in today.” The Major said as he sat down. Turner stood behind him with his hands behind his back.

My chest went tight. Was it because Luke and I were out roaming the grounds past dinner? No, that couldn’t be it. It had to be about Ms. Blackwell.

“Is Ms. Blackwell alright?” Luke voiced my fears.

The Major nodded slowly. “Injured, but we suspect she will recover.”

Luke and I let out a mutual sigh of relief. “Thank goodness.”

“But, there is a more serious matter at hand. We do not know how she was injured last night.” The Major continued. “You two were at the scene first. Do you remember seeing anything suspicious?”

I shook my head and glanced at Luke.
