Genevieve's pov
We walked down the hallway leading to the indoor gymnasium of the school as I hear the growing noise in the gym caused by the students.
"I heard that if you get picked, they will make you sign an acceptance form to be part of the experiment." Shai whispered to me and I flicked my tongue, hitting her with a bored glance.
"You always hear something, you should stop eavesdropping on people." I said which made Nicole and Elysia laugh beside me.
"So how was your date last night?" Nicole jumped on the conversation, asking Elysia about her situation last night.
Elysia squeezed my arm and cling to it, I sighed and focused on the empty stage in the gymnasium.
"It was so so so good!" She said happily while shaking my arms.
She was about to add something when Ethan suddenly came up from behind her and he put his face beside her face really close which made Elysia frozen in her spot.
He chuckled at Elysia's reaction and he fixed his posture and greeted us.
"Goodmorning ladies." He said with a smile, showing his dimple.
I stared at Ivan standing beside Ethan and my face curled up into a confused face. I kept staring at him ignoring their conversation until Shai cleared her throat and made me go back to my sense.
"You good Vieve?" Shai asked me and the two were grinning.
"Yeah just saw something." I cleared my throat and unconsciously put my hair behind my ears.
"Blub blub." I shoot a glare at Nicole. I know what it means and it's something fishy, we usually use onomatopoeia when we dont want others to get it.
He looks familiar.
"Do you think the scientists are here now?" Shai whispered to me.
I just took a glance of her and shrugged my shoulders.
FLASHBACK
Me and my friends ran from the tagger as she chases us while all of us were laughing and playing tag you're it.
We ran and ran until I ran out of my breath so I stopped and fixed my clothes when all of a sudden Xander grabbed my hands and everything felt like it stopped, like the time suddenly became slow-mo.
We ran fast until Sienna couldn't catch us anymore and she quit and we stopped running, all of us lay on the ground laughing and catching breath and I looked at Xander beside me.
END OF FLASHBACK
I went back to my senses when I suddenly noticed all the students became silent and my attention turned to the people standing in the stage.
"Good morning students! As you've seen in one of our announcements that scientists from Redal State ExperimentalLab are looking for a healthy, perfect and suited for the experiment and it has no age limit so they are allowed to search in schools.." The principal on the stage said and I looked at the three people coming up the stage and they all look like they're 40 years old and above.
The students including my friends clapped and the principal gave them a mic.
"Hello everyone, we are from Redal State ExperimentalLab and I'm sure you all have heard the news. It does sound scary because this one is finally real but we are just doing this to stop the growing cases of crimes that have been happening worldwide with the help of our invented power, we have already searched every student in this school and we only found one perfect for the experiment." one of the scientists said and he looks at all of the students until his eyes met mine.
He whispered on the other two and the three of them looked at me so I looked down, I felt something wrong and my stomach felt uncomfortable.
"That girl over there with a high ponytail and side bangs, come up the stage." I gasped when I heard them knowing that it's me they're talking about.
"Oh no girl" Shai hugged me and nicole and elysia are just worried and shocked while looking at me.
"I don't want this." I said and elysia was about to talk but suddenly I got pulled by two men wearing all black and shades.
"let me go!"
I tried to free myself from them but they were too strong.
They made me go up the stage and all the students looked at me while the three scientists were smiling at me.
"Whats your name dear?"
"G-genevieve." I began to stutter because of nervousness.
"What a beautiful name dear." one of the scientists complimented me.
"Congratulations, you are the fit person to be the first person ever to have powers." The man shaked my hands and I looked at the area where my friends are.
They were all looking at me worried, I took a glance of Ivan and he looks like he doesn't care at all so I looked away.
They only picked me so we went down the stage and they led me to a van and the four of us sat inside with silent.
I looked at the window, watching as we leave my school and I let out a sigh.
"Don't be nervous it won't hurt." the ginger lady sitting beside me assured me and yet it didn't help and I continued to sigh.
"Why me?" I asked and the three of them looked at me.
"You're fit for this that's all." the other lady said
We finally got to the building of Redal experiment lab and the three of them got out of the van. I took a deep breath and came out.
I look over and there's a lot of scientists roaming around, some of them holding chemical stuff and books.
The ginger lady hold my arm gently and the four of us walked to an elevator and she stopped holding my arm.
I saw the man click the lowest and last floor button in the elevator and I suddenly feel like we were falling and yet the three of them looked so calm.
My heart began to beat faster when I look carefully in the buttons of the elevator. The button he clicked looks like it's an underground floor because the buttons looks somewhat like 30 above buttons and he clicked the last.
After a minute the elevator door finally opened and I gasped when I saw that it was a floor for experimenting and its very big.
There were scientists with their desk on the sides working on shits and in the middle there was a glass clear transparent box that could fit me but there were big needles and my heart beat faster than ever.
"You have one day to prepare yourself for this." the man said and I just glared at him and the two men pulled me again and we went back on the elevator.
I don't wanna be here...
