JEAN

The first day of your Military training took place on a bright, hot, sunny day. You expected nothing else to happen other than to receive your Military uniform and possibly participate in a meet-and-greet. Oh, how wrong you were. Your first day of training consisted of "Initiation," where Commandant Shadis walked around everyone lined up in rows and either screamed in their face, which he did to most of the cadets, or he ignored them, which he did to a small few.

You, however, stood there silently, wondering whether Commandant Shadis would scream at you or let you live. You had no idea but braced your arms behind your backing, ever awaiting sudden death. Briefly closing your eyes, your mind wandered about what training would be like. You had heard stories about the harshness of the Cadet Corp training and heard rumors that there were cadets who had died. You weren't sure what to believe other than that there were some highly handsome males in your class, especially the male who stood in the row before you. You could only see his backside, but you could see that this man would be handsome.

Eyes following the male soldier with copper-blonde hair, you watched as Commandant Shadis started yelling in his face, the rest of the cadets gazing from the corners of their eyes, their ears listening to this Jean Kirschtein who said he wanted to join the Military Police in the Interior. Even before the attack, you grimaced, knowing Shadis was going in for the kill.

On your first day of Military training, you watched as Jean had his forehead smashed in by the Commandant.

Your insides curled, knowing the male's head had to have been seriously hurt to have sustained a headbutt such as that. But it wasn't just the initial assault on the first day that caught your eye. The next day, you watched Jean excel at the weightless ODM aptitude test. He, like several others, made it look so easy. You had barely passed, earning a growl from Shadis that you had done better on the actual test the following day, or your ass would be out of Cadet Corp.

Later that night, before dinner, you swallowed the nerves crawling from your stomach and sought Jean, wanting his opinion and suggestion on what you should or shouldn't do.

Tapping his arm, the copper-blonde male turned around, a small smile forming when he recognized who you were. "You're...Lyla, right?"

You squealed on the inside, loving that he knew who you were without having spoken to him yet. "You remembered?" You asked.

"I did. You...you were behind me when I got hit yesterday, weren't you?"

You tried not to smile. "...I was."

"...damn," he muttered. Shaking his head, he asked, "So...what's up?"

"Well, I was wondering if I could ask you for some help."

"Help? Sure! I mean, we haven't done anything for me to be able to warrant some help, but...eh, what the hell. What'd you need?"

"I...have some questions about the ODM aptitude test. I was watching you today - you were awesome! I can't believe you were able to pass so easily!"
