Rina's First Training Day

"Morning Rina!" I shout. Excitement seeping off my tone as the tired black haired girl drags herself into the pack-house kitchen.

Judging by her appearance, she probably hasn't looked in a mirror. Her bedhead is not looking too good right about now. A few hairs seem to not know their place as they fly off her head in complete different directions. Her dark eyes are droopy with exhaustion.

She yawns covering her mouth partially, "I can't believe I'm awake right now."

I smirk and open the fridge, "Well you better start believing it. We start training in thirty minutes."

Scanning through my options, I decide to grab some eggs. I plop the carton on the counter and grab two for myself.

"Want me to make you an omelet?"

"Um," she sits down at the island, "sure. An omelet sounds good."

"All-righty then." Grabbing two more eggs, I return the carton to its designated place in the fridge.

Pulling a pan and the Pam from the cabinet, I turn the stove on. I tap the first two eggs on the edge, cracking it into the pan that's lined with the non-stick spray.

"Morning Captain." Someone shouts from the kitchen door.

I turn around in enough time to see Raymond, Ruben, Greyson, Leo and Derek walking in. I smile at them. It's about time they all got down here. From the corner of my eye, I see Rina freeze. Quickly she starts to fidget with her hair, combing it with her fingers.

"Morning. You guys ready for training today?" I ask, turning back around to tend the eggs.

"Of course. I just need to get my daily protein ready." Ruben says as he goes through the cabinet searching for his powder.

"Maybe you should have two scoops today, you're starting to look a little saggy." Raymond recommends to his brother with slight disgust in his tone.

Ruben glares at him angrily, "Shut up Raymond. If anyone here is getting soft it's you."

"Go fuck yourself Ruben. If you really think I'm getting soft, why don't you come over here and confront me like a man."

Ruben slams the protein container on the counter, glaring at Raymond. He storms over to his brother, shoving him. Raymond lets out a low growl and shoves Ruben back roughly. With that last push, Ruben gets fired up. He wheels his right arm back, aiming for Raymond's face.

To Ruben's dismay, Raymond dodges the punch. Then Raymond quickly slaps the back of his brother's head, causing Ruben to fall toward the ground due to the force of his brother's punch.

"You're a dick!" Ruben yells then proceeds to elbow Raymond in the gut.

"Oof."

I growl, "Enough already!"

Sadly, they don't listen. Raymond grabs Ruben in a head lock and they begin to scream at one another. My eyes grow angry as I storm over to their little quarrel.

Raymond sees me coming. His eyes grow wide. As he is about to let Ruben out of the head lock and run, I reach up and grab his ear between my pointer finger and thumb.

"Oww!" He screams as he releases his brother.

Ruben falls toward the ground coughing. I reach my left hand down and grab his ear, dragging him back up to my level.

"Ouch, quit it!" Ruben shouts loudly.

When he finally notices it is me holding him, he quiets down. My frown deepens. These two are such troublemakers. I can't have a simple breakfast without them making a fuss.
