but also worried.
tagged: a lot of people.
with: a lot of people.once i had finished shouting, i stood in the same spot for a moment longer, embracing the stillness of the early morning with closed eyes. when i opened them again, i could hear the muffled groans from inside the cabin- i knew with a tiny chuckle that my wake up calls were sometimes un-appreciated. with that, a smirk still on my face, i started walking towards the training area. it was about a quarter of a mile, maybe less, away from the cabins- sometimes she and sterling would make everyone run to the cabins and back four times for a warm up. usually the last was pelted with snow. i wonder if i should do that to them today, but when i imagine all the moans of protest i decide to be kind. it's too cold for arguments. with that thought, i do up my leather jacket, lined with a warm layer of wool. but my legs are actually warm- who ever really runs this camp gives us a massive ration pile, which we store in the shed behind the cabins. once a year. in the first large pile is canned goods, long lasting food etc. the second one has gardening equipment and seeds. although it would be impossible to grow things in here, because it's nearly always snowing, we have a large green house a few kilometers from the lake, it's supplied with artificial warmth and light, and we take it in turns to water and gather et cetera. however, because it's possibly the warmest place there is, most people go there to hang out and get the circulation back into their toes. then there's a weapons pile. a utensils pile. and a miscellaneous pile, full of hair pins and shampoo. the next is clothing. for some reason, they give us our own pile each, like they're choosing our fashion for us. everything fits perfectly well. in my pile, i received two pairs of heat preserving leggings, one of which i'm wearing. every year, we're meant to get rid of last years clothes, we have a bonfire and roast marshmallows while chucking all our old clothing into the hungry flames. but every year, since i was twelve i think, i've kept a hold of this jacket. i may be one of the few who dont remember the real world, but something about this jacket screams recognition. its now, obviously, a bit small and warn, it still fits around the arms, because when i first got it the sleeves were rolled up as part of the style, so i just undid the stitches. but the body of it only goes down to the bottom of my rib cage, and i can only do up the bottom button- as i had no chest when i was twelve. so under my jacket i wear a thick white top that clings to my body.
i walk into the training area last, probably too busy thinking to walk fast. everyone turns their heads towards me, and i hold up my hand in a kind of wave. i walk over to Storm, my best friend, more than that, we were the first two and he means the world to me. everyone thinks we're girl friend and boy friend, or at least should be, but we're just friends...really. well, i can't say i dont have deeper feelings for him, but it would mess everything up if i told him. most people just assume we're together because we stand closer than most, or are always whispering and giggling- he may be one of the only people who can make me laugh. "oh good morning." i mutter quietly to him. "lets get started." i sigh before he can answer, pulling my hair into a high pony tail and walking in front of the group. "okay, so is everyone here? no. well they'll have to catch up. did you all have breakfast? no." i give a fake smile and disappear behind the tree, a small bench has a sack i put there on my way to my early morning meditation spot. i knew that today would be an early start for training, and no one, except perhaps Sterling, would bring breakfast. i carry the sack back to the group. i start handing out the content to everyone, apples. "you can have a proper breakfast when we finish training. or maybe by then it'l be lunch. it depends on how much you suck." i talk loud enough so everyone can hear me. i ever wonder if they grow tired of my sarcasm and un-funny jokes. "eat your breakfast then go and grab a weapon." i add with a smile, nodding over to the table, stacked with goods.
