CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: HEADBUTT
"She's going to be fine," said an unfamiliar voice. "The lieutenant handled her quite well." Then, I heard footsteps walking away.
I opened my eyes and saw Loki and Ace standing by the foot of my bed. I sat up. Loki grinned at me, and Ace just pursed his lips, looking a bit stern.
"What happened? Why am I here? Where's Minnie?" I asked. I was about to jump off the infirmary bed when my neck throbbed.
"She's still unconscious. She's resting in the room right next to yours," Ace answered and folded his arms. He leaned back on the wall and watched my reaction.
"How is she?" I asked.

We walked towards the Great Hall, and Ace still couldn't get over the idea that I was harboring a pet. It appeared that Ace didn't notice what it was I handed over the aide weeks ago at the infirmary. "This is totally unfair!" he yelled. "How come you get to have a pet?" "The lieutenant said that it is a reward," I mused, grinning. "What kind of cat is it?" he asked. "It looked nothing like an ordinary cat." "It's a cat," I said. "A Bengal, maybe." "It's black!"
Children Not Soldiers CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: NEW CLASS
The Clique We walked further inside and up the great hall. We were welcomed with a carpeted floor and hotel-like ambiance when we reached the third floor. "That way is the Captain's quarters and office," the Sergeant said. "They made it look grand because sometimes, the country's leaders visit us. We can't make it look barbaric." I stared at the door a couple of meters away from us. The Sergeant signaled us to follow him. We found ourselves in the middle of another hall. I looked to the right, and there's a door, t
Children Not Soldiers CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: FIRST DETENTION
I was asked to strip off my clothes and wear the white, tight, thin suit. I did what I was told. I looked around. The lieutenant escorted me in here. I am now inside a small room, which appears to be the changing area. I tied my hair up in a tight ponytail, noticing how long they've grown since I got here. I focused on my breathing, calming my nerves. I can't calm down. I can't calm down when I know I am up against something I cannot kill. I want to run. There was a knock on the door. Slowly, I walked towards the door and stepped out. A guy in a lab gown welcomed me. "This way," he said. I strol
Children Not Soldiers CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: FLIGHT AND BOMBS
Minnie walked beside me as we headed to the underground classroom. She's commenting about how we would learn to fly war planes underground. She's also talking about how Bee's starting to get on her nerves again. I stayed quiet the whole time. We met with the other guys on our way. Loki approached me, looking a little confused. "Why are you wearing a jacket?" he asked. "It's not that cold." "Leave me alone," I told him, and he shrugged. At last, we've arrived.
Children Not Soldiers CHAPTER THIRTY: SO WHIPPED
The lieutenant found me wearing the suit from last week's detention. She stared at me for a second and sighed in defeat. I saluted. "They said a kid's up for detention," she told me. "I should've known it's you again." "I got really pissed off with my bomb," I told her. "Whose ass did you save this time?" she asked and turned right. "No one," I said. "It's all me." I looked at the room where I was electrocuted and frowned. "Where are you taking me?" "The captain must've heard that it was you again, so he changed the venue," the lieutenant looked pale. And angry. "He's not gonna cut my fingers, is he?" I asked and cleared my throat. &
Children Not Soldiers CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: MUSCAT
As soon as I opened my eyes, I realized that my nap had taken longer than I had planned it to be. It's 4 o'clock in the morning, and my back feels like it's gonna cave in. The jelly pads must've worn out. I stood up and limped my way to the shower room to wash my face and brush my teeth. I turned around and lifted my clothes to check my back. The deep blue pads had faded to a whitish blue. I fought the urge to remove them and look at how grave my wounds were. I lost and succumbed to curiosity. "Awawaw," I muttered as I lifted the corner of the pads to take a look. I watched my reflection as the weight of the situation dawned on me. I looked at my half-exposed back with self-pity and
Children Not Soldiers CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: BEE AND AMETHYST
Another month passed by, I managed to avoid seven detentions and survived three. The first one was when Eagle and Howler snuck into one of the warplanes parked outside. Bee punched me in the gut when I asked her to tell the superiors that I made them do it. The captain and I made a happy reunion and later drowned me. I had also started teaching Muscat some tricks like stay and fetch. Minnie said I was mistaking it for a dog, but I ignored her. As long as I can prove that it's atrainedcat, who would argue against it? It had also refused to eat cooked food, so I do covert burglary missions to the kitchen for Muscat's everyday food source at night. It's either piece of meat or a whole fish. Even Minnie doesn't know this. The second time was when Reaper, Barrel
Children Not Soldiers CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: FEELING CRUSHED
Bee became the highlight of my life, diligently helping me avoid detentions. During the past few days, the class managed to escape detentions with her wits, thus making my wounds heal in peace. One of these days, I'm going to thank her. Still, Lieutenant Margaery is nowhere to be seen, twice the sergeant had personally gone to me for information, and twice I told him I didn't know where she was. We were in the middle of Flight Lessons when Victor got pissed off and attacked Viper, his co-pilot. Roses stood up to watch them brawl. Private Lowell found them rolling on the floor, kicking and punching. &n
