I jolted awake with a pounding headache. My alarm was blaring in my ear and Ena was still fast asleep in the bed next to mine. I stood up and slammed my fist down on the screaming alarm to shut it up. I was always irritable in the morning, mostly because sleep was the only thing that saved me from my constant headaches.
I pulled back the current on the only window in our bedroom and groaned. It was raining, and the sky was dark and smeared with clouds.
Rain is quite possibly the worst thing that could happen in Amarillo , Texas
“Ena!” I screamed. She jumped a little but not enough to wake herself up. God, she is a heavy sleeper! I thought. I sighed and kicked her bed. That definitely got her. She turned and gave me an angry look. I responded with a sly smile and one more kick to her bed. “It’s raining. Get up.”
“That’s just great!” she screamed as she smacked her hands down on the bed. “Oh, don’t be such a baby.” I joked.
“I wanted to wear those new boots my mom bought for me.” She complained. I laughed at her and slumped into the bathroom. I took a long shower, letting the hot water sooth my headache ever so slightly.
It was going to be a long day, I could tell. Ena was working just as slow as I was to get ready for school. We weren’t exactly excited for another boring day in military school.
The rules were strict and the teachers were monotone enough to make even the smartest people drool on themselves in class.
After pulling on my blue and grey uniform I looked into the bathroom mirror. My short black hair fell perfectly into place over the one scar I earned as a trophy from surgery. It started at the back of my neck and ended at my left eyebrow.
