Prologue *4 years ago*
I didn't like it. I didn't like it one bit. I was at the airport with my closest friends who were also miserable. Marcelle, Annabelle, and I stood in front of our parents with disbelief, anger, and mostly confusion. Marcelle Abigail Epps is my best friend since I could remember. We were inseparable since we were first introduced to each other. She has dark skin and long black hair and dark brown eyes. She is also very religious and gets very angry if you curse, drink or do anything bad. She's usually laid back, calm, and always has a poker face, but we could get her to crack a smile. Mars is kind, but if you get on her bad side, you may want to avoid her at all cost. She wore a purple shirt with a Kool-aid face on it, black jeans, and white jacket around her waist and black converse. Her hair was put in a high ponytail. Annabelle Jamie Lennox is also my best friend since I could remember. She was shy when we first met but started to come around to talking to us. Ann has light skin but she tans easily. She has brown eyes and long dirty blonde hair. She's mostly quiet but when she's comfortable around people, you can't stop her. She's really friendly, smart, rarely gets mad, and always looks out for us. Ann wore a green T-shirt with a sun in the middle, blue jeans and tan sandals. She had her hair in a bun with sunglasses on top. Then there's me Alexandra Chase Witwicky. I love my friends to death and would protect them with my life. I have light tanned skin, brown eyes, and long blonde with brown streaked hair. I'm described as the obnoxious, mean, loud, and adventurous friend. My friends say I'm funny, weird, and kind, but overprotective. I was wearing a red T-shirt, a white cut short jacket, dark green shorts, and black flip-flops. My hair was in a low ponytail. The three of us were looking at our families: Mr. William and Mrs. Sara Lennox, Mr. Robert and Mrs. Monique Epps, and Mr. Samuel and Mrs. Carly Witwicky. Our fathers have been friends since childhood and are in the military on the same team. Our mothers were their childhood sweet hearts and were married apart. Ann's father married first, then my dad and then Mars' dad which means Ann was older than me and Mars. She was 18 while Mars and I were 17, but separate we were separate by one month.
"So let me get this straight," I asked for the 30th time, "you are sending us with General Morshower to some military training camp/school to help and improve ourselves because some friends of yours aka the people, who have been with us since we were kids, decided its best even though we're your kids and not theirs?"
My dad sighed and rubbed the back of his head, a horrible habit that meant he couldn't do anything about certain situations.
"Alex, as much as I want to say no to this, but we thought it over and thought it would be best to help in protecting yourselves and improve your fighting skills."
Mr. Lennox and Mr. Epps nodded but we knew they didn't like this either. My mom stepped forward and touched my dad's shoulder. He nodded and handed me my ticket and a couple of 20s. My mom hugged me tightly and let go to cup my face. She had tears coming down her face.
"Be safe and listen to orders," she said with her British accent. I nodded and felt a tear or two coming down my face. I hugged her and she kissed me on my forehead. I turned to my dad; his eyes were puffy and red. He always was a sensitive guy but would never admit it. I hugged him back and he did too tightly.
"My baby girl… God, I'm going to miss you." I chuckled.
"I'll miss you, too, daddy." I gave him a peck on the cheek and he smiled. I looked at my friends; Ann was in a group hug with her parents and Mars was being asked by her worried mother if she wanted to back out and stay home, but I knew Mars was going through with this. Because one she always did want to join the army and two even if she did say no Mr. Epps was going to make her go anyway. Mr. Epps was just shaking his head and say something to his wife but after a minute he separated them and gave Mars a huge bear hug. She tried her best to hug back and free herself but Mr. Epps being Mr. Epps lifted Mars off the floor and twirled her around much to her laughing protest. We all laughed and some people gave us glances and stares.
"Ha ha ha! Okay Bobby! I think Marcelle has had enough love from Bob the Bear and their plane is probably boarding," Mr. Lennox said.
"Ha ha ha ha! Alright, alright!" he said while putting her down. She punched him in the arm.
"That's not funny, Dad," she said although she was smiling from ear to ear.
"Ha ha ha! Yeah sure it wasn't just like you're not smiling." We all laughed. He sighed and messed up her hair to her dislike.
"I'll miss ya, kiddo." She smirked.
"Yeah, I can totally see that." They hugged properly and we said our good byes. The three of us walked through security and made it to the boarding station. We sat down for 5 minutes and then boarded the plane. We all sat together; I was at the window; Ann was in the middle; and Mars was near the walkway. When I put my bag under me, Ann handed me some pills.
"What's this?
"Airborne sickness pills." I pouted.
"I don't need them."
"Yeah, you do," Mars said while reading the flight procedure manual.
"Oh! Come on, guys! It's not that bad… Is it?"
They both looked at me with blank looks and bluntly replied, "It's bad."
I sighed and took them. At least I don't get impatient or get bored while watching anything and everything on a plane. I thought while pouting and looking out the window. Well, at least we're staying in Qatar for 3 years. I guess it won't be so bad…
