Chapter 1 - The drafting

After the broadcast teachers rushed to their class and checked if everyone was okay they noticed Ethan lying on the ground with bruises but they chose to ignore him and said until the war is over the school will be closed and wait for the military to reach out to you. Be safe ou there kids.

After 4 hours Ethan opened his eyes but no one was in the class and sirens were ringing all around but his current position was way worse than the outside one he dragged his beaten body across the floor to the nurse office but when he reached there no was around. Ethan got scared but first did some first aid to him and took a breather to calm his mind .But that was disturbed by an message on his phone saying that he was drafted in the military and needed to join this evening at 7:00 along with the location or else he will be killed. What the hell is happening here ? Why is no one here and what the hell is this draft about? To all his questions answers came in another message.

An YouTube video of the alien 23x declaring war and the response of the humans .Shit seriously how long was i out aliens, war am I still dreaming or am i dead . Ethan sat there for 2 hours to clear his thoughts which made the situation worse by dropping the gravity of the situation. He remembers the draft message and saw the time it was 3 in the afternoon and the location was fairly close to the school so he scouted the school for food it has been 2 days since he had some solid food after eating he went to the location directly.

It was a police station but everyone present there was teenagers like him Ethan just went to a corner and waited till the time ends. As the clock touched 7 a lady came up with a speaker. Hello citizens my name is Emily and i will be your teacher for 2 months starting now so ask your questions. Miss Emily if we want to go home can we go ,i am not good with physical activity so I don't think I will be much help. Oh dear even if you are not good at physical then you can help us with technical and for your first question. No one will be allowed to go home before the war ends . Any other questions. Ethan raised his hand and asked how much are we going get paid. Emily chuckled and said the amount will be given equal to your contribution. If there are no questions please follow these gentlemen to start your training.
