the Wall pt VIII

We took off to the meeting hall. I was shivering the whole time. I wasn't cold, I was nervous. I didn't know what to expect.
We pulled up to the spot and dropped off the bicycle. We walked in. I could hear the chit-chat of other people. Liliana Went to the ten year room, while I went to the graduate room. I took a seat next to my friends. My best friend Estiha and my other friend Alli were talking.
"Silenia, are you nervous?" Alli asked.
"Of course." I replied.
A person came up to the pedestal on front of the seats.
"Attention! We have gathered you all here for many reasons. We have gathered you to challenge you, to Help you, to care for you, but most importantly to salute you." The speaker said.
