The Dark Knights - Chapter 2 Chapter Two

Wow only a week till the entrance exams, I feel nervous but so excited. I’m thinking about how amazing it would be to join the academy. I wonder if I could actually make it, if I’m as strong as I think I am, strong enough to be a knight.

Never mind that I can’t think like that, not with how hard and how long I trained. I’m strong, maybe even stronger than some other guys there. I know when it comes down to the physical tests I can do it. When both me and Henry make it, it’ll be awesome. I’ll have finally achieved my dream. When I make it, it won’t stop there I’ll have to continue working harder because I want to have a seat at the round table a seat with all the other strong and loyal knights. This ain’t no fairytale this isn’t Camelot this is real, my life, my future.

For all the work I’ve done I know I’ve got a chance. I deserve that chance. Nothing I do will be considered great because I’m a girl so when I make it to that round table with my own seat everyone who made fun of me for me not having powers and making fun or my dream saying it wasn’t achievable for someone like me, for a girl. Just wait in a week I’ll be one step closer to making them regret all the doubts they had about me. Now I’m not for revenge but sometimes I do think about it, hurting the ones who didn’t believe in me and instead bullied me.

I remember Henry and I met up earlier and he asked how I was feeling, he’s the only one there for me, I don’t know my dad and my mom is never here though she comes home every couple weeks that’s about it she gives me some money but not enough so I work whenever I’m not training or doing school work it’s hard sometimes I barely get an hour sleep each night but for me that’s normal it may not be good but I can’t just stop training and I need the money for equipment and everything else nothings cheap. It’s tiring but I’m getting through it with the help of my best friend Henry. When he asked how I was I told him I was fine but he knew I wasn’t and I said “I don’t know I’m so excited but so nervous and im actually scared cause what if I don’t pass the exam”. He said ” as long as you believe in yourself, you can do anything”. I laughed and said “you’re so corny but

I love it, thanks Henry I appreciate that and when we both make it into the academy it’ll all be worth it all we did”. By that I mean giving up our free time not to relax even though we probably should have and a few school mates they were always inviting us to events that I kinda regret not going to and just having fun for once but that would not have gotten me anywhere, besides it’s not like anyone would be happy if I went no one likes me only a couple kids in mine and Henrys after school karate group that came together twice a week, teaching everyone all the new moves we learned to me that was fun.

Oh god though in a week I’ll be taking that test finding out if I’ll be in the academy I could just scream but also hide in a corner. I don’t exactly know how to express how I’m feeling so that’s close enough.

So wish me luck I’ll be back to tell you how the exam went, if you come and continue listening.If

you don’t believe in me then you probably shouldn’t come back to hear how everything went.
