Wild 9: Conflict and Chocolates

"I can't believe her!" I exclaimed, slumping on my bed. My head ached so bad I might as well just spend the whole day sleeping. But that wasn't an option. I had to finish my works and I've got this conflict with Hanji I couldn't seem to understand. "Can you believe it, Sasha? She's avoiding me because I apparently had been smooching with Captain Levi!"

Sasha looked down at me reluctantly, her uneasiness evident on her face. Gosh, that was bold of me to bring people in my problem. But I really needed someone to hear me out, I feel like exploding in both fury and confusion. I just don't understand Hanji at all.

Does anyone ever? It's been 2 days since that scandal we did in the mess hall. During those days we were both fine, still working on her experiments and doing bunch of paperwork which I may add, are additional stress to my already stressful life. Then just this morning after breakfast, when I visited Captain Levi to catch him up what we've been doing during training; Hanji called me out and told me it's funny how I couldn't do paperwork because I was busy flirting with Captain Levi.

She was so upset she basically avoided me all morning. I wanted to confront her an hour ago, but it seems as if Hanji knew what I was gonna do that she left the headquarters early, claiming she was going somewhere with Moblit. So here I am, with Sasha in our room-- finishing off the papers Hanji handed me this morning.

Sasha hesitantly grabbed the leftover lunch I brought, eating it while muttering audibly, "I don't know, (Y/N), I really just went to finish your lunch." She smiled sheepishly I couldn't help but giggle at crumbs she got between her teeth. This girl never knew how to chew. 

After finishing off my food, Sasha stayed and sat beside me, her light brown hair that's coincidentally tied in a high ponytail made me remember of Hanji. I sighed at the thought of her-- yes, I wanted to solve our conflict as soon as possible, but I really wanted to rest and brush it off. I have a scorching headache the recent accident caused and a hungry stomach because I spent my lunch looking for Hanji.

And it was rude to stop Sasha from eating as that's her lifestyle, plus she did seem more starved than I do. I figured I'll just satisfy my hunger during dinner. Only, having a headache and an empty stomach doesn't give you much of an energy; my eyelids were practically closing on its own as I try to keep up with the papers I had on my nightstand.

Sasha didn't fail to notice, "Oi, (Y/N), you look tired. Maybe lay off for awhile?"

Hmm. That was appealing to think of. I just couldn't until I finish though, I wouldn't want to upset Hanji further when she comes back. She might even assume I spent my time with Levi that I couldn't complete my task. You never know what goes on in that mind of hers.

Hanji's complicated. No doubt.

"I'm fine. Don't you have better things to do?" I asked, trying to change the topic. Sasha was the one who never stops talking, she was always lively and cheerful. A friend you'd need when things go down. It was Sasha-- that's why I needed her to keep talking to keep me awake as I was practically drifting off. Just don't trust your food with her, though. One moment it's there, the next it's already been chomped down by her.

She shook her head no, settling herself on my bed. I wouldn't lie, the bunk bed we've been given was pretty hard it gives us a stiff back in the morning. "Nope! Well, I did. But I wanted to check in on you... and your leftovers." Sasha grinned.

I snorted at that, still reading the papers. It was another of Hanji's ideas, it was one of those papers I need to rewrite as Hanji's hasty handwriting was almost unreadable for others. Luckily it was easy to decipher for me, it was awfully the same handwriting my... well, you can say close friend, had. So I never really had much trouble in reading it. Only, it's tiring to rewrite that there are times my fingers end up sore.
