Chapter 57: First encounter

<8 years ago, Kim and Reia's first year at the Alteryx military academy> 

Sitting in a theatre-like classroom, Reia and Kim sat in the middle row waiting for the results on who will be the class representative. 

At the back of the classroom, Lou put her feet up on the desk and a few girls leaned into her, not paying attention to what was going on. 

"I hope I don't get it." Kim whispered to herself as she hated the idea of being a class rep, but her parents forced her to apply. 

"I'm sure it's okay Kim, there are plenty of good candidates, plus they did a lot more advertising so I doubt you will get it." Reia heard Kim and tried to comfort her as she had stayed completely out of sight and should have no chance of winning. 

"Mhm." Kim nodded and waited for the teacher to speak.
