The Apple Test Novels & Stories

"I've never agreed with Tavish's enthusiasm before. But this time, Alpha. This time, he's not wrong." I let the silence stretch. An apple sat on the small table beside me. A knife was there too. I reached for the apple.Rolled it in my palm. Then I picked up the knife. Tavish’s agitation hadn't faded. "You're not listening," he said. "Did you hear what I said?" I set the blade against the apple's skin. Peeled. The strip of red curled away from the white flesh beneath. "Did you make sure?" I asked.

Alice’s expression turns sour, and red fury creeps up from her neck to her cheeks and ears as Elara looks confused. “What he means,” Axel steps in, struggling as much as I am. “Are you sure?” “What the fuck?” Alice scoffs, snatching something out of her back pocket – a pregnancy test. “I’m sure.” Fuck. “I can’t believe you asked me that,” she shrieks, on the verge of hysteria. “Aren’t alphas supposed to be dignified and shit? Now you’re acting like bitches and questioning me as if we never slept together.” “That’s not …”

Every student immediately pulled out their phones and started refreshing the results page frantically. "What the hell? How are my scores so low?" "Hahaha! I made it!" "Refresh already, you garbage phone!" Cheers and cries filled the air around us. Sweat rolled down my face from the nerves. Finally, my results page loaded. I did it. I immediately locked my screen. 'Damn it! How much did this pathetic simp score? I didn't even see it.' Shirley clearly hadn't seen my score. She eagerly asked, "Keith, what did you get?"

Her fingers curled slightly at her sides as she shook her head. “No,” she said again, though this time her voice lacked the same certainty. “I took a test last week… it was negative.” The memory of that result still lingered, the quiet disappointment that had followed refusing to fully fade. Looking back at Scarlet, she tried to brush it off. “I think your hormones are getting to you.” Scarlet didn’t argue, nodding easily as she swallowed another bite of her apple. “That’s possible,” she agreed, her tone light, before adding with a faint glint of amusement, “but I do have a few extra test kits.”

“Enjoy it, guys. That's probably gonna be the last time you're going to eat apples. Once we are back in the base, we're back to hard bread and thin noodles.” Ken choked, "Do Agila still accept people..." Gracea gave him a side-eye and sneered. "They do, but I heard there's a test before you get accepted." "Test? What test?" "Test like throwing you into a ground with thousand of zombies in it, if you survive you pass. If you don't, you die." Ken's face distorted, murmuring to himself. "Forget it... I think hard bread and thin noodles is delicious too..." Everyone snickered at his words.

"It's yet to be released, but it's the Roman Corporation's latest design. And who is better to test it, than my own prima donna and assistant head of PR? Test it, baby, and give me your report." Then the sleazy bastard Alpha of mine lightly brushed through my neck, and the torture began again. Shit, what had I got myself into?

He said. I stifled a laugh, but Cooper shot me a warning glare. I gave him a sheepish look so I clamped my mouth shut, but on the inside I was dying to laugh so hard. The lady bent down a bit, "Who's there?" "It's me. The apple." "Apples don't talk." "Well, they do now." "Well, what do you want, apple?" "Buy me." "Now, why would I buy a talking apple?" "Because talking apples are awesome. You can talk to it and play with it all day!"

I heard myself say before the rest of my words trailed off when I realized I was literally speaking to an Apple with so much Intent. Maybe I am starting to go Crazy for real this time because what the hell? And I totally blame it all on The A-hole that owns this building. Since I still wasn't reaching, I found the next branch that would elevate me to a point that I would grab hold of that one apple with ease and I smirked at the apple as I placed my foot on the branch and tried to move up with it. It should go down in history, Jaselle Green gave up her life for one apple she never got to have a taste of.

Alice asked and Mrs Johnson raised her brows “How many do you want?” “Like,,ten?” Alice said already eating the first one Mrs Johnson shook her head and went back in,she returned with a full bowl of apples “Thanks mom” Alice smiled “Where’s Kingston?” Mrs Johnson asked and Alice stopped eating “What,,,are you guys having a fight?” Mrs Johnson asked “No,,he’s just,,busy with work you know” Alice let out a short smile Mrs Johnson sighed and went in Alice fold the apple in her hand tightly and the apple froze

TJ’s POV “I am never going to get this” and groan at Lowe and Atlas Atlas smiles at me “You will, you just need to concentrate better. Now try again” They had given me an apple to practise with, because starting small was the way to move forward apparently, but no matter how much I tried, the apple would end up in a different place either in the room or no where to be seen, one apple had even split in two. Lowe had joked that it wouldn't matter if I managed to pull that off with Alice
