"So i did, and guess what?!"

Nova felt a grin creep on her lips.
"What?"

"He was not satisfied again!"
"Well, obviously he wasn't, Mel, i can't believe you didn't see that coming."

"I just don't get it. How come he's such an asshole?!"

Nova snorted, hanging her head in disbelief, but hurried to regain the balance she lost doing that. She has been jogging on the treadmill for twelve minutes now.

'Three more to go.'

"Yeah, so, let's start of the obvious part: he's a man." Brunette shot a look on the screen to her left, on a wall. Her eyes met with deep green ones of a girl her age, who she was on call with.

Melanie on the other side of the screen cackled skeptically, stopping her treadmill. "Oh right, how could i forget." Mel rolled her eyes, annoyed, and aggressively grabbed a water bottle. After chugging onto her drink, she shook her head, her copper hair flew around as she did that. "I'm dumping him."

"Mel, he's our history teacher, you can't dump him."

Red headed girl on the call grunted, harshly wiping sweat off her face. "I know. You can't imagine how frustrating that is!"

"Yeah, lucky me..." Nova lowered her gaze to look at the timer.

|15:06|
|The planned distance has been covered|

She tapped a touch screen, stopping the treadmill. While moving tape started to slow down, brunette took her own bottle with a logo of Cyberlife on it.

Taking careful sips, she now checked her heart rate.

|♡ 169 bpm|

'Nah, it's fine.'

"I think my legs will fall off." Copper haired girl whimpered as she sat right in front of camera. Well, not just sat — collapsed in front of it.

"I'll make sure to make you a pair of new ones, no worries." Nova grinned. She took a light robe and swung it on her shoulders, covering her training top. She then stopped by a bar in her gym to leave a bottle there. She stretched her arms, feeling her tired muscles wailing not to do that.

"Aw, that's sweet, hun, thank you." Mel returned her a grin, while unraveling her ponytail. "Hugo suggested a movie night, so what cinema you'd like to go to?"

"Home. I'm not going anywhere."
"Aw, come on, you've been working your ass off for two weeks now!"
"I've been assigned for a new project. A huge one. And here's the catch: every single project in Cyberlife is huge. So, obviously i've been working my ass off."

"My god..." Mel chuckled, disappointed. "I feel like if you die out there, we won't even know."

"Oh, trust me, you will. Cyberlife will go completely downhill and deviants will take over the world."

Melanie trembled theatrically, as if she was in pure horror. "Already thrilled!"

Nova smiled widely, shaking her head, amused. She approached the bar, taking her phone.
