Chapter 2- Fitting in

 

“Crap! I'm late!”

I was late to class again. Running as fast as I could to get there, and I had a test that day.

“Well class, you may begi—“

The teacher would have continued had I not came crashing through the front door.

 

“I'm so sorry, I'm late!”

 

“Marya good of you to join us.”

I simply apologized again for being late, and took my seat.

“Now class, begin the test!”

 

Three hours later, I walked out of class, having failed the test again. I knew I had failed. The academy was the best. My problem was it was really hard. I had given the academy 3 months at least, and hadn't made a single friend, and I had tried, other students found me weird, others thought I was too young, and weak that I wouldn't survive some of the training here. In most of my classes if not all, I was failing. The only class I was passing was my flight training. But at that time I was just barely passing that class. I began to give up, and thought about giving up. During these three months I hadn't seen james again. I went back to my dorm, laid down on the bed, and I wanted to cry. My T.V. was still on from when I had turned it on earlier. I wasn't paying attention at all as I grabbed the remote to turn it off. Then I heard that name.

 

“James McCloud, would like to now address the people of Corneria.”

 

James… it was that name again, I sat up in my bed and turned the volume up on my T.V.

“I have news for all of Corneria. Recently, I've mostly just been helping with small things. Small things like gang activity, I started out doing what I could to protect people. I realized I can't do this anymore.”

 

As I was watching what he announced, others around him weren't happy with what he had said. Reporters couldn't help but ask questions.

 

“James are you turning your back on Corneria?”

 

“Why are you doing this?”

 

“Do you feel it's enough?”

 

“It's not enough!”

 

After he shouted that out, all the reporters went quiet, which sort of surprised me.

 

“It's not enough, I've decided to form a mercenary team. It will be a team of three, including myself. I will be leading the team, peppy will be on the team, and I will be putting up auditions for talented pilots from the academy in order to choose the third pilot for the team. Who ever is chosen will become a member of the Starfox team. Any planet within the lylat system, or out of this system, my team will do what we can to help. You and anyone else can depend on our team for help. Thank you.”

 

I sat there for a few minutes as I let this all sink in. The Starfox team being under James, what if I was chosen to be on the team?

 

“What am I thinking? I'd never be that good. I must be dreaming.”

 

I turned off the t.v. and just went to bed. As soon as I came out of my room, it seemed like everyone was talking about the tryouts, and wanted to be chosen. As I came out I overheard some of them talking.

 

“You signed up for the tryouts, right?”

 

“Yeah hopefully you or I will get the spot.”

 

“Yeah, not like other's who don't belong.”

Others who don't belong… as I began to think to myself, do I belong here? In the end I just shrugged it off and went to my classes. I couldn't help but wonder what being on that team would be like. I thought about it so much, I couldn't concentrate during class.

“Marya answer the next question for us.”

 

That team travels alot I wonder what that would be like. Would the team mates like me?

 

“Marya?”

 

What if they're just like everyone else?

 

“Marya?!”

 

No, I shouldn't be thinking of things like that.

 

The teacher walked next to marya's side, as marya was still deep in thought.

I should think of it---

she suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder from her teacher, and it snapped her back to reality. She jumped up out her seat saying “What?!” out loud before realizing she was still in class. All the students were staring at her, and began laughing.

“Nice to know your with us marya.”

all I could bring myself to say was sorry.. As I sat back down in my seat, when class finally ended, my teacher pulled me aside.

“Are you ok Marya? It's not like you to daydream during class, like that.”

 

“I'm sorry it's just I've been thinking about those starfox tryouts.”

 

Needless to say, my teacher laughed at me, and didn't think I should audition, I guess on the plus side, she didn't think any of the students were really ready for this team.

 

Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
