I read a book about 10 years ago and when I recently described it, someone told me it was Orson's Ender's Game. I haven't gone to pick up the book yet from the library to find out if it indeed is. The story I remember has a main character that I thought was told in first person detail. He goes off to space school. I do not remember him being only 12 years old. He has 2 best friends. One is a boy, the other girl. His best friends don't really get along. They're all on this sports team for the school. I don't remember it being so much a "war game" but I remember something about different colors. Like, some sort of belt they had to wear. And in the end his 2 best friends actually sorta like each other. And I think the main character has someone he's interested in. Can anyone at all help me figure out what story this could be? If NOT Ender's Game? Thank YOU.

What you said really does remind me of Ender's Game, that was a good book.

The book you describe is NOT Ender's Game. There are some similarities, but Ender's Game is not in first person, he does not get close to anyone, and the story takes place over such a long period of time that the characters are not just one age. I think (but I'm not sure) that the book you are describing is Starship Troopers, by Robert Heinlein.

Ender's Game is a very good book. Author is Orson Scott Card.
