Six Warriors

Boarders - (Sam)

So, after leaving the hospital wing of the academy, it didn't take long for Sam and his friends to be punished again and this time Sam ended up in detention. Of course, they were all separated and even had different punishments. Sam's punishment was basically sitting in a room with nothing to do but stare at nothing, simply being silent with other troubled students while a couple of prefects kept watch over them like they were detainees.

"Oh, that sucks, no!" Complained a girl who had just arrived, but who Sam hadn't paid attention to, "this place is driving me crazy, I'm not staying here another second!"She hadn't been there for five minutes and it was already like this? Ridiculous! Sam had been there for hours!

"Miss, please come back to your seat." said one of the prefects in an authoritative voice.

"Alright man, I fuucked up, but you know what? This is getting on my nerves, okay?"

"Miss, please go back to your seat." Insisted the monitor.

"You better go back" Sam told the girl, "or they'll leave you here longer just because they realize you don't like it."

The girl looked at him and rolled her eyes.

"Oh sshit! More time here, no way!" Saying this, she sat back down.

What Sam didn't tell her, is that she should have already gained more time there, with that little confusion, the series of things she said, including swear words, she should have already counted on more time in detention there. Sam had also gained more time, just by opening his mouth to talk to the girl and let her know.

...

Time passed tediously in that place, so much so that Sam simply followed the saga of a fly that was flying through that room, even gave it a name, since the insect's hum was one of the few audible sounds in the room, Sam named the fly as "Dave". This "Dave" was way cooler than the other loud Dave who had beated him the other day. It turned out that Dave met his precocious end in the webs of a spider that devoured him with enough satisfaction. After all, Dave must have been the only prey for several days. Sam was sad for Dave and could even hear his humming as a final farewell.

"Goodbye, my friend. Wherever you are Dave, I will always remember you, my friend," Sam thought, making a sign of respect for his dead friend.

He and that noisy girl from before left at almost the same moment.

"Hey bro, you added some detention time to let me know I was screwing up, hey, thanks, not everyone would do something like that."

"Yeah... of course."

"My name is Emma, nice to meet you...yeah...so what's your name?"

"Samiel, but everyone calls me Sam."

"Cool, Sam!" She gave a smile. After that, Emma made a kind of magic sign on her Student Bracelet, and an object came flying towards her, she held that thing in one hand and the next moment she climbed on it like a skateboard or something. It looked like a plank, or a little surfboard or a skateboard with a strange appearance, something like that. "See you around, man," she said with a smile, and then that weird skateboard with no wheels or anything, that simple wooden board, started to fly about a foot off the ground and Emma just started surfing with it. around, leaving Sam dumbfounded.

Somehow, Sam managed to follow Emma, interested in that weird flying skateboard. The place was a little close to the field and Sam saw a place with all kinds of ramps and railings, things like that, where young people walked on those strange objects.

"Wow! Get out of the way!" Someone yelled after Sam. He, on impulse, jumped aside. The girl looked like she was about to fall over and bump into something but at the last moment she managed to get around and stay upright. She stopped, then turned to Sam. It was Emma. Sam, in that late afternoon, tried to get a better look at her features. She was about fifteen, with short pixie-chopped hair, on her face a mischievous grin. She had tanned skin, with a slight redness to her face, as if she'd spent a lot of time in the sun and had small ear flares.

"Sam, what are you doing here? Did you follow me?" She closed her right eye and looked at him only with the left, as if she meant to say she was analyzing him.

"Those things" Sam pointed to the object Emma was on top of, "what are these?"

"Cool huh?" She smiled, "The official names are Tenser Gliders, but we call it aerialboard. It was used for a lot of things before, but, well, they started using it for extreme sports and we have some practitioners here at the academy."

Sam watched those teenagers walk on those things that to him seemed more dangerous than skateboards. Most of them didn't use any kind of protection.

"Hey Sam, do you want to try?" Emma asked with a smile.

...

"Hey, who is this loser, Emma?" Asked a guy, tall, wearing a black skull-patterned tank top, black wool cap, faded jeans, and a beard like Ethan's but a little thicker. He held an aerialboard against the ground.

"He's Sam. I met him today in detention. Hey, he's a nice guy, right? Just lend him an aerialboard."

"An aerialboard? For that slob? I don't think so, hey boy, why don't you turn around and make sure you don't get hurt?"

"Come on Eric, no elitism okay?"

"Alright then, let's see what this guy is capable of, that is, if he can even stand up in such a beauty."

"It's simple Sam, you put some magic power in your feet and the aerialboard floats, okay? After that, just control the directions where you want to go, let yourself flow like the wind. It's your native element, right ?" Emma pointed to Sam's bracelet.

Sam climbed on top of his aerialboard and did a simple maneuver. Somehow, it was easy for him to climb on that object and fly on it.

"You is better than I thought" the boy named Eric said "risk one on the ramp?"

"I do not know..."

"Don't tell me you're afraid?" Eric chuckled, "It's okay man, being scared is okay. If you don't..."

"Okay, I'm taking a chance" Sam replied irritated, when he saw Emma laughing too. He did, but ended up taking a big fall and hurting himself a lot. Everyone was laughing, even Emma.

"Wow, you are crazy!" the girl said, helping Sam up. "Alright it goes, I'll buy you a drink later. Did it hurt a lot?"

"No, I'm fine" Sam was the chosen one of the wind, it was humiliating to have to fall because of a flying skateboard or whatever that glider was. The boys continued to walk while music played in the background, Sam, bruised and embarrassed, sat watching everything. Twilight had passed, and it was full night. Emma was very good at walking, but she didn't have any protection, and her shorts were too short, when she fell, she scraped all over her knee.Emma laughed. Sam saw that a boy who looked seventeen came to talk to the other, the Eric.

"Wow, the fall was bad" she said approaching Sam, "look at my knee, bro, it looks like a steak!"

"AAAAAAAAHHH! Wow, thanks. Gosh, I loved steak."

Emma laughed. Sam saw that a boy who looked seventeen had come to talk to the other, Eric.

Eric looked serious as he listened to what the other boy was telling him. When he was done, Eric skated up to where Emma and Sam were standing.

"James got into trouble," he said seriously to Emma, who looked startled when she heard the news.

"When?" She asked.

"Today. The Iron Fist guys got him."

"Iron Fist?" Sam asked, but no one paid him any attention.

"Is he really hurt?" Emma asked Eric.

"I don't know... Caff just warned me... I really don't know."

Emma's face was grim.

"What are you talking about?" Sam asked, confused.

"Sorry Sam, we'll talk later" Emma got up and ran away, leaving him even more confused.

"Hey Emma, wait!" Eric yelled and then rushed forward from aerialboard after the girl.

"What the..." And Sam stood there, looking silly.
