Weeks have past as I struggle to get boys to listen to me. They are all to involved in trying to look desirable and tough. What they don't understand is they won't be so desirable when they have a gash cutting their heads open.
"Hey, listen up!" Jax constantly yells at them when ever I begin to speak. Jax and I are harsh like General Logan while Alan and Oliver are more understanding and soft like General Hugh.
I finally see why General Logan was such a tough guy. It causes so much pain to get close to some one and then watch them die. I distanced myself from getting close with new soldiers. Most all of them didn't even care about me.
"Attention!" Jax hollers from across the room as the Generals walk through.
"Tomorrow we will be taking a trip into town. Your commanders will be interviewed along with Hex and Storm. Since they are highest in the class they will be treated to that reward." General Logan says and then exits the room.
The boys return to what they are doing as I locate Oliver.
"We have to go through that again?" I refer back to having to be interviewed.
"Calm down, little Athena." Oliver says.
"Did you just call me Athena again?" I ask laughing. He had been calling me Athena all week. First time he said it I kissed him because it reminded me of the first time he called me it at the lunch tables.
"Yea," he nods as Alan joins us.
"Are we calling her Athena now?" Alan ask Oliver.
"Yea," Jax shouts from his work out. Oliver laughs as they begin to all me Athena.
"I think yall just forgot my name." I throw my arms up and walk away.
