Ten has to gain their trust

Chapter: Ten has to Gain Iris's Trust to get Close to the Others

"Right. You need to stop acting so nervous." Ten snorted at Iris's shaky form.

"I've never heard that one before." Iris rolled her eyes.

"I can tell."

Chapter: IDK

"This is where you and your friends meet?" Ten asked, grabbing a book from one of the workbenches and looking it over.

"Yeah, I guess we hang out here. We should go."

"Aww, why?" Let's stay and invite them to come train, it will be more fun." Ten cringed at the fake tone in her voice.

"I don't think they'll want to. Come on, Ten." Iris urged desperately.

"You don't think who will want to go where?" The girls turned to find Magia standing in the shed's doorway.

"I don't think you guys want to come train with us." Iris answered quickly.

"You've been training with her?" Magia scoffed.

"Well, none of her friends were helping her. I am first ranked in the academy and in Iris's level, so who better to train with, Magia?" Ten shrugged.

"How does this little creep know my name? And what is she doing in my shed?" Magia glared at Iris.

"You were upset by being outranked by me and your friends. I figured it out from there." ten shrugged again. Magia was quick to remove the space between herself and Ten, grabbing the smaller girl by each side of her hood.

"It is not my fault they are better than you." Ten rolled her eyes with a grimace.

"Magia! Let her go!" someone yelled pulling Magia away so forcefully she toppled backward. Everyone looked in surprise at Matheus.

"Woahdude." Grayson blinked from the doorway.

"What was that for?" Magia jumped to her feet enraged.

"If you keep getting into fights we are going to attract the guards' attention and have to stop races again." Matheus said quickly.

"Why are you here, anyway?" Magia snapped.

"We were sent to find Iris and send her home." Grayson answered.

"Oh thank goodness. Sorry, Ten, we'll have to train some other time." Iris waved and rushed out of the shed. Ten moved to leave too, catching Matheus's irritated gaze as she did.

Chapter: Solar board stuff

"I think I can do it." Iris gave Axel a big smile from where she sat on his workbench. He was searching through a stack of old books and articles dedicated to boards like the one sitting beside him.

"Awesome." She set down the one she was pretending to comprehend, "Will it be ready by the next race?"

"You've got a big mouth, Iris." Iris flinched at the sound of Magia's cold voice. She stood just outside the shed. Organized races are super illegal. Magia pushed passed her and pulled the book away from her brother to see what they were up to. "That again? C'mon." she handed it back and instead took the board to her own workbench, sensing Axel's glare she sighed.
