Description
There's a test. There's a mistake. There's two girls on the run. As Emma watched the screen, waiting for her results, her heart beat uncontrollably in her chest. She looked around at the guards outlining the room. Next to her, Rosie was staring at the blue door. The failure door. "We'll make it, Rosie. We always do." But even Emma knew she sounded unsure. Rosie nodded, forging a smile anyway. In a flash the lights went dark and the screen began to brighten. Simultaneously, there was a chorus of sighs, and an army of gasps. Emma held her breath searching for her name, and finding Rosie's. "You did it." "So did you!" Rosie pointed to the bottom half of the screen. Emma quickly found her name and the blocked writing next to it. PASSED. Behind them a gunshot pierced the air. Chaos erupted. The guards panicked and the room was plunged into darkness yet again. This time when the screen lit up, it held a different result. For everyone.
