Chapter 5 - Enrollment and Mother's decision pt2

"You see the leviathan's pace and the number that they're attack-in are growing with the way they are right now 70% of humanity will be or can be at risk, pushing us towards extinction or on it's door. With in 5 months time our population will only be between 30%-20%. Being that we will also have to calculate humans casualty.

Which is why the policy to implement us to be having high schools and colleges be the first places to start with, which lead us here for yours to be the first to ever be made. So starting tomorrow your usual high school days will be like normal, but you will start to have military lessons though you will not have to worry with military lessons. For actual training for the military won't start till halfway through the week.

Meaning your usual lessons that you will be learning would be mixed with military lessons such as learning about it's history, past wars, leviathans, martial arts, and etc with your day to day lessons from your usual high schools classes.

The befits start today along with your ranks will be in effect as of now, making you all officers of the army till you will be able to learn what branch your all to be joing. As you all can pick whatever mansion you want from what has been offered from us, which is all in the documents that you have received.

Your payment is also starting today but due now that it is based off your rankings, so everyone has an different rank based off of stars. Which will be told more by your home room teachers when you start tomorrow.

Also your family cost for living will be taken care of by us till your no longer an officer also for those that think they don't have to rank up, the punishment for not being able to improve your standing.

Your family will be moved to the frontline to live in the manual labor camps that are at the frontlines that will have high chances to be attacked by leviathans, and rebels as this is to be punishment to be severed by 2-3 of your family generations of yours without a chance for appeals."

Hearing that I could see the terrified looks on families faces an the looks of despair if they were to be the ones to receive such an awful outcome for an punishment to be severed.

Turning to look at mom to see her reaction I'd saw her looking at the documents while she's reading about the leviathans. Seeing her biting her lip with the look that I'd only seen when she's worried or scared being that I'd only saw it a few times. We are well off but barley, so these benefits help us a lot even though mom likes to try to make it seem that we're not tight on money and lets me spend what I want.

But it comes at her expense which is why she always at work with few days' offs, so to see it on her face means she's absolutely going to join the military with me. Sighing I hold her hand to let her know that everything is ok, while I give her a kiss on her cheek to reassure her. Before turning back to listen to what Richard was saying.

Richard: "With what I said before you can also not be in this program as you and your children will be removed from this school and moved to the civilian's part of the city to live the rest of your lives.

But you will not be receiving anything from the military for you will not be facing any form of punishment with all you have to do is talk to the principal. And those that show up tomorrow will be taken as accepting to be part of this new policy program and those that don't we will take it as your decline.

That will be all for today and i hope to have received a good report about who is to stay or have left tomorrow with the ones to stay will have class as usual."

After a few minutes others start to get up and to leave with me an mom joining them while I'd took my last glance to look at Selene and Beatrice before leaving. When I did my eye's met with the both of theirs while they're staring at me. Making my heart skip a beat, before seeing them turn to leave the stage with me and mom leaving the gym.

(At the hotel)

Taking my bath, I come out to see mom with a smile hiding something behind her while I'd walked pass her to grab my clothes on the bed.

Paula: Turning to make sure Zola didn't see the gift behind my back while she walked to the bed to grab her clothes. Waiting for her to get dressed I take the box from behind my back showing it to her when she'd turned towards me. See the expression on her face brought a smile to mines "I know you wasn't exactly up for a celebration, but I had these made for you last month to give them to you for they'd was ready just before we had left to go to the airport."

I covered my mouth with tears starting to make my eyes glossy before they left my eyes to go down my cheeks due to the necklace and earrings pair that mom had gotten me, that had mines an hers birthday stones on them. Reaching out for them after I heard what mom said, "you really didn't have to get me these for me" I look closer to see our pictures in both of them."

Making me cry more "mom these must have been expensive for you to get so they have our pictures to be embedded in the both of them. Is that why? you were working so hard that I barely saw you last month, beside when you came home in the morning to see me off to school."

Paula: Smiling, while I was also crying seeing how much that she truly value them "I know but I... this is to show how much I care for you not only as my daughter but also for being the one that is bringing meaning to my life, as well too being my daughter. I'm glad to hav an daughter such as you.

And i know that no matter what I say you'll still join the military, so it's not worth me even trying to stop you I just want you to know how much you mean to me."

Here let me help put them on, taking them from her as I take the ear rings out first while I'd put the box on the bed before standing up and moving her hair out of the way.
