It's been a week since I have started training. I really am getting sick of these dirty looks, it looks like I have betrayed everyone, but I haven't done anything to them. I guess the special treatment was just for the first few days, now it is like I am just an outcast and don't belong here. Which is somewhat true.

I walk around the school building until I see a huge crowd of people around the front gate, what is going on now? Not another poster? I walk towards the front gates, everyone seems to be in a happy mood, I wonder what is really going on.

"Excuse me, excuse me," I push through the crowd just enough to see what is going on.

I see three boys, and to be honest they are very good looking. 

One of them was about the same height I was, he had dirty blonde hair and somehow looked messy but perfect at the same time. The other guy was about the same height as the other, around 5'11ft, and had fire red hair and porcelain skin. The last guy clearly was the leader by how he stood. He had jet black hair, and from here I can't really make out his face.

I stare at them as I sense an unusual aura from them. The centre boy looks directly at me before walking forward, towards me. The crowd moves as the boy stands in front of me,

"A girl? in our uniform colours, this is unusual," The boy says as he stares. "I was not informed about you, are you another one of the director's machines, or something," he says as he holds my hand, about to kiss it. Does he mean Ema?

"The director is always up to something, picking the pretty ones to be his slaves," The boy adds,

I rip my hand away,

"I am not a machine. I am a person, a student, and Ema is not a slave," I tell him,

"Is she malfunctioned or something, no realgirl can be enrolled at this school," he says as he looks around.

"I am enrolled here thank you very much. I can tame dragons and have been here since the second week this year," I inform the rude boy,

"Feisty one, what is your name?" he asks,

"Elena Tate,"

"Tate, you wouldn't be related to Jackson at all,"

"I am his sister. Now, who are you?" I ask,

"Where are my manners? my name is Adam, Adam Welton. Behind me is number 5 Axon, and number 6 Damien," he introduces himself and his friends, he seemed like he was all looks but lacked the heart a girl searches for.

"You intrigue me, I have a feeling we could be rather close." He says as he moves closer to me and whispers in my ear, "We could be real close," he slides his hand down my arm,

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I am not interested in you, or any of your little posse of guys," I pull my arm away, "I got to go, I have things to do, bye," I walk away,

"See you later, Elena,"

"I hope not."

I walk back to the training room and fight with the creepy image of Adam in my head.

"Stop simulation!" Ashton yells before Ema stops the simulation,

"Why did you do that?" I ask,

"You seem distracted, what is it?" Ashton asks,

"It's nothing," I lie,

"Come on, tell me or we will stop till tomorrow," he threatens

"It is just... Well today three boys arrived at school, they had an unusual aura, it is like putting a lid on a box that is full, like they were overflowing with power." I try to explain,

"So you met Adam and the others?" Ashton asks,

"Yeah, who are they really?"

"They are called the 10, they are pretty much top of the school. Every year at the duel testing, those who place in the top ten or show an unusual power, get added to their group giving them a number, Damien should be the current 6, and Axon is the current 5," he explains,

"What about Adam?" I ask,

"Well, Adam was number one, but last year the duel testing ended in a... disturbing note."

"What happened?"

"Well Adam was on the brink of losing, so he went over board and sent his opponent to the hospital for two months, he was disqualified and his opponent won by default," Ashton explains,

"He should have been expelled," I say,

"Everyone at the time wanted that, but since he is the son of one of the schools sponsors, we couldn't expel him, he was welcomed back a week later, everyone feared him," Ashton says,

Can Adam really be this strong?

"But it doesn't matter anymore because ever since Jackson arrived here, people are hoping the Jackson takes his place, or is invited to join him and can change him from the inside out," Ashton adds.

"Is Jackson really that good?" I ask,

"Yeah, he is incredible. Out of everyone in the school, I most afraid of Jackson, but at the same time he is most distracted with protecting you so he has no time to mess around with everyone's heads,"

"To think he is this amazing person and I am... well me,"

"You think about yourself like that," Ashton says,

"I have struggled to walk while Jackson is always up running ahead of me with ease, followed by everyone who is anyone. He is smart, strong, a leader, an example of who to be, and I am the example that says, avoid becoming this,"

"You will get there, you have only just started,"

"To be honest, Adam scares me,"

"Well that is common,"

"But he really scares me, it isn't that I don't want to be on his bad side, it is like I don't even want to be near him. I just can't explain why I am never scared of something this stupid,"

"Adam does that to people,"

"I don't even think he is human," I snark,

"Adam is said to be tied with Jackson, and you are not scared of Jackson, right?"

"Well yeah, Jackson doesn't scare me because he has his morals which gives him his limits, Adam doesn't look like the sort who has a lot of morals," I say,

"I am only going to tell you one thing. Stay away from Adam. You're right about him, he doesn't have many morals, and he is a very greedy person. If we want something he gets it, no matter who or what is it. He picks people who are unusual to control because if he isn't in control of you, you become a threat, that is why Adam fears Jackson, and I guess if he doesn't get you, you will be next on his exterminate list."

Ashton has a point, But he has nothing to worry about, I am not going to throw my self at him anytime ever.

"No more depressing talk, we have a lot of training to do,"

"Right..."
