"Aiden! Wake the fuck up!" Kai yelled, shaking me awake.

"Mmm, what?" I groaned.

"We're late! Wake up!" He turned to grab our outfits and threw them at me.

"Dude chill." I sat up and stretched out. "Where is everyone?" I glanced around the room.

"AIDEN! WE'RE LATE!!"

"Huh? Oh- OH!" I finally registered what he said and quickly got ready.

When I was done changing, we both quickly ran out. Kai was the first one out so the Drill Sergeant saw him come out first.

"HEY! FREEZE! Aren't you supposed to have someone with you?!"

Without skipping a beat, Kai replied, "The Force is always with me, Sir!"

He groaned. "Ugh, shut it and get in line!"

This was my time to sneak in line. I crouched down and started my way to my spot. He quickly saw me.

"Well now hold on a fucking second, whos this fucking big shot walking around like he owns the place? You the new top? Do you think you're special?"

"No Sir! I'm The Force."

Some people tried to retain a laugh, some failed to do so and some just scoffed.

"Hey! Shut it!" He turned to everyone. "Just get in line Private." He shook his head in disbelief.

He continued to scream at everyone and teach them a new aspect of Basic Combat.

As we were training, rain started to sprinkle on the ground slowly. Before we knew it, the rain came down hard.

The last thing that we had to do was march, in the rain.

"Ten-Hut!" He screamed. We all got in formation.

He turned around and started to walk forward.

"Left, left right, left!" He continued to scream.

We marched around for about 30 minutes and then we all got to go inside for lunch.

Before me and Kai sat down, we both went to the washroom and grabbed a towel to dry ourselves off.

"Dammit. I'm freezing." Kai shuddered, drying his hair.

"Me too. I can't believe he made up march in the rain." I shivered, throwing the towel in the basket.

"I guess it's a part of the training." He threw his towel in with mine.

"I guess so. Let's just go eat. I'm starving."

He agreed and walked out behind me.  We both chatted until we got into the lunchroom.

I stopped in my tracks.
"Aiden, why'd you stop? I'm hungry." Kai whined and looked over my shoulder.

Noah was sitting in our seats with his little gang.

"Oh- Well, we can sit somewhere else. Let's go." He grabbed my sleeve and tried to drag me somewhere else but I jerked away.

"Aiden, c'mon!" He angrily said.

"I just need to have a friendly chat with him." I walked towards him as Kai chased behind me.

"Hey! What are you doing in our seats?" I cocked an eyebrow at him.

"I just wanted you to apologize for my finger." Noah smirked.

"I'm not apologizing. The fight was your fault in the first place."
