Next day, same stuff to do.

The buzzer was painfully awakening to us. I guess all those times we didn't sleep is finally kicking in.

Same food. It disgusts me now not just for one reason. As I see it I realize we'll be eating for a long time, maybe until we actually die. Secondly, the sight we saw yesterday, the guard getting killed, filled my mind. It kept playing in my head over and over again like a broken CD.

I just imagined my days at the orphanage as I tearfully tried to eat. Those blissful days we ran around, not like yesterday's race. Those pancakes and oats we shared tasted nothing like this. I wish I had a time machine to go back there.

I opened my eyes as I started to quicken the pace of my spoon. I looked at the clock and started to panic. Two more minutes and I'm not done yet. I don't want my head to blow up now. I scoopes it all up and got to finish it just in time.

My heart relaxed. I had just escaped death somehow. It feel great. I had some streaks of food dripping at my chin, but I didn't care. Being alive is a good trade for losing my beauty here. Not that I believe that I actually have it.

I grew up not liking who I saw in the mirror. I hated the girl. She's fat.

We were then led to the building where we took that test. Gosh I don't want to take it again. My head will probably explode even if I just look at it.

Thankfully it was not a test, but a lecture. Two hours worth of taking down notes, and listening to a professor. She babbled about technology. I wasn't really interested but I had to keep my eyes and ears open if I want to survive. Good thing her voice wasn't the type to make you want to sleep.

One thing I've noticed here though, is that people don't tell us their names. They just go by Professor, Doctor and all that stuff. Maybe they'll tell us soon?

After that we had a short break, they gave us some fruit to eat. Just to keep our energy going.

Back to another class. A male teacher. He was old. And he really made us want to sleep. He was the type who had that voice to make you sleep like a baby. What was this t*****e?

He even had a great subject. Psychology. I didn't really also like it, but he gave us a trick to take away our sleepiness. Which actually worked, I'm surprised. And that really made me hooked on this class. It was fascinating to see how we could easily trick other people and actually understand them in just a matter of seconds.

The brain is a powerful weapon, but if it is not used in the correct manner, or if you are not aware of how to protect it from manipulation, it is but a dull sword.

Those words really stuck to me. And they will forever. I knew I wad gonna be studying this more than anything else.
