LEANING FAST

On entering the laundry room and looking around the whole room was deserted, with rows and rows of empty buckets piled up and clothes lined up on lines, all clothes in a particular line had the same colors.

But the thing was that the class who were supposed to be doing the task of laundry today were the middle class, and because they were leaving the question on everyone's mind was "Which class would be picked to take up the task of laundry? "

Sage strode into the laundry room after Flint and gave a once-over of the laundry room, She passed by where the children were standing near the door and made her way to the very end of the room.

There was a large brown double door, with the upper part covered in glass which made the inside visible from the outside.

Pushing the door open unceremoniously she walked in with her low wedge making a clicking sound from its contact with the tiles. "Follow me" Trowing those words behind her, she continued on her way in.

Inside the room, there were rows and rows of cabinets covering each side of the wall, walking to the wardrobe closest to her right she pulled it open, peering in it was filled with rumpled folded clothes, that seemed that the folder was in a hurry glancing over the clothes, shaking her head and closing it back, it was filled with work clothes for the children of the compound.

She shook her head, "There is no way they are taking such distasteful clothes with me" Sage said and moved to the next cabinet, repeating the same process, but still what she found inside was not what she was looking for.

Inhaling and taking a deep breath she calmly moved to the next cabinet, upon opening it she found it was filled with linen materials... Closing the latest cabinet with a loud bang.

Well, she was not someone known to have a great line of patience, turning around she found the children looking at her a bit scared. 'Ah the last thing I want to do is deal with scared students'

"Flint!" Sage called out.

"Yes Black" Flint said stepping forward.

"Where can I find clothes that..." Sage paused her words as she didn't know what exactly to tell her to look for "Something better than what you are wearing"

Flint just stared at Sage not knowing what to answer her, They didn't have any other clothes apart from their sleep ware work clothes and what they were putting on right now. "umm... Black we don't have anything better than what we are putting on right now" Flint replied.

Making Sage take a good look at what they were putting on, The brown tasteless clothes which were bothering on the line of light brown due to how many times it has been washed and the little patches of holes scattered all around the clothes with the worn-out edges.

If Sage wanted to be honest with herself these clothes they were putting on were no better than rags in look and just had the shapes of sacks. Sage twisted her face.

Flint was feeling a bit self-conscious with the way Sage was scrutinizing her under her sharp gaze.

Sage turned around and just started wondering what exactly Clara has been using all the funds pumped here for. They were embarking on a journey in some hours' time and the kids can't leave in these..... clothes that could not even protect them from mosquitoes least of all the harsh wind outside at night, she was at a loss for words at what to call what they were putting on.

It would take them at most five days with one stop a day by the Mussel mobile to make it to the Training camp. "Hmmm, what to do..what to do?"

Sage repeatedly said all the while tapping her chin. "Okay we would do it this way" Sage said out loud with her face brightening up.

Moving closer to where the children were hurdled together. "You, you, you, you, and you, step forward " Sage pointed at five boys to step forward.

They didn't hesitate and moved to stand close to Flint who was standing at the very front.

"You five go to that cabinet over there and empty all the linen there and take it to the female sleeping quarter, when you are done remain there"

"Yes Black" The five boys answered.

Sage nodded her head, 'it seems this set has a lot of fast learners good for them, they would need it to survive the training camp' She thought.

"The rest of you follow me" Saying this she started to move out the door with the children who were standing and obstructing the passage spreading out and creating space for her to pass with Flint following two steps behind her.

"Hey Sarah, what do you think we would be using that linen for at the females sleeping quarter?" Ulanni said through the mind link.

Ulanni's voice intruded Sarah's line of thought. "I am not sure about that... I guess we would find out later." Sarah replied her.

"Now common we have to follow the rest out" Sarah said taking Ulanni by the hand. It seemed that if she didn't remind Ulanni she would just stand there and bothering about something she should not be beating herself up about. She was so easily lost in her thought.
