"I am Eleven
El
When I walked into my room. The boy who had been watching me with Papa was there.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"I asked first." I said.
"Mike." The boy said. I studied him for a moment. He was beautiful. Dark thick hair, dark eyes, freckles and a wary expression on his face.
"I am Eleven." I said. I held out my arm. 011 branded into my skin.
"Is that real?" He asked.
I nodded.
"As real as yours." I said.
He looked at his left arm.
012 branded there.
"What the🌷" he muttered.
"How did you do that thing in the room?" He asked. Still staring at the tattoo.
"Did what?" I asked.
"What?" He guffawed.
"You threw a table against the wall with your mind!" He said.
"I've always been able to do that." I said.
"Really?" He asked.
I nodded.
"What's your real name?" He asked.
"Eleven." I said.
"No,no your birth name." He said.
My brow wrinkled.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
Mike
Was she serious? She didn't know her own name?
"You don't know do you?" I asked.
"I don't know what a birth name is." She said.
"It's the name your parents gave you when you were born." I said.
"No, I don't know my birth name." She said. Her voice small.
"How long have you been here?" I asked.
"Forever." She said.
"How would you like a nick name?" I asked.
"A nick name?" She asked. Taking a seat on her bed.
"Yeah, a nick name is something people call you but it isn't your name." I explained.
She nodded. "Ok." She said.
"How about I call you El, short for Eleven?" I said.
"I'd like that." She said softly.
"Glad." I said. She smiled.
She was pretty. No she was beautiful. Her hair was short and curly. Like a child's, it gave her an air of innocence. She had dark brown eyes.'unblemished skin and like him she wore a hospital gown.
"What do you like to do?" She asked.
"Me? I like to ride my bike." I said. " what about you?" I asked.
"I like to read." She said.
"You can read?" I asked.
She looked hurt.
"Yes." She said.
"What do you read?" I asked.
She pointed at the book on her nightstand.
Advanced Physics and Basic Physical Sciences
"Wow." I said.
"I can only read science books. But I enjoy them." She said.
"So Mike will you tell me about, outside the lab?" She asked. Eager.
"You've never been outside?" I asked.
"No but I wish I could." She said.
"I'd love to." I said.
