Chapter 30: Courtney
The third roommate had an haughty air around her as she walked towards where Allison and Helen standing. She looked at Allison as though she was appraising her before she spoke,"I came here once I heard that a new girl was going to be sent to my room. You're nothing special and yet Alex brought you here?"
Eleanor rounded her eyes in shock and whipped her head to look at Allison. "Agent Walters was the one who brought you?"
Allison didn't understand what the big deal was so she casually responded "Yes"

However, the other girl in the room didn't like her attitude. "Look here, new girl. Just because Alex brought you doesn't mean you can talk casually to me. In terms of status, we are far apart.You can never amount to anything here, terrorist". Her main reason for coming to the room in the first place was to threaten and intimidate her.

But Allison didn't look intimidated and despite the silent signs that Helen was giving the girl not to confront her, Allison still walked up to her so that they were looking eye to eye. "When Alex was introducing this place to me, he didn't tell me that you were my superior. You are not the boss of me. And my name's not terrorist. It's Allison. Get it right".

The girl huffed and walked out of the room, slamming the door with a 'bang' behind her. Once the tension died down, Allison turned to face Eleanor "What was that about?"

"That's Courtney Anderson. The queen of Shadow and our last roommate. Don't pay any attention to her. In my opinion, she just feels intimidated and inferior to you".

"Why would she feel that? I barely know the girl"

"What a question? Have you looked at yourself in a mirror before? With those blue eyes, blonde hair, height that is neither tall nor short and perfectly defined face and figure, any beautiful girl will inferior. Which beauty product do you use?"

"I don't use any", she said before hastily adding,"Why would she feel threatened by me?"

"For one, Agent Walters till date, has only brought two people here. You and Courtney. Courtney is in the first group but she wasn't born here. Agent Walters brought her here as a baby and she was adopted by the Anderson couple who were in desperate need of a child. They're top ranks around here. Remember what I said about the different groups here? Courtney started it. She felt out of place because she was adopted and I tried to talk her out of it but she wouldn't listen".

"Wait, you guys were friends?"

"We were childhood friends but since I decided against her ideals, she cut me off and surrounded herself with girls that were just like her. Seeing the way Courtney looked at you, any fool can tell she already considers you a threat."

"I can't believe all these are going on and the adults don't notice it."

"It's not a big deal since no one gets hurt. We're already used to it. But I have to warn you. Courtney has already set her sights on you. The place she will play around with you the most is during training. Courtney takes fighting lessons from both her parents but she's still fairly good at fighting. I just hope you're good. She's gonna kick your butt to prove herself".

Allison nodded before the full understanding of what Helen said came down on her. "Wait, what?!"
