Rachel was climbing upa window. She was very good at climbing, she did it alot before after all. She made her way up to finally see what she was waiting for: Kate.

Rachel has been stalking her for a long time, since she had also joined her school. She was too shy to start a conversation with Kate so all she could do was watch her from afar hoping she'll fall in love with her.

She got distracted staring at Kate and suddenly fell down the window. Good thing it was only a bit more than 3 meters high and  Rachel wasn't hurt. Frustrated she made her way to Desmond's house.

"Hey Des." She called out to him, but he was  no where to be found. For that, Michael was standing in the hallway. "Oh, hey Rachel. Has the boss called you here as well?" He asked her. Rachel nodded. "Yeah, sorry I'm late, I was watching... Pretty things.." She muttered. "It's quite alright. Don't let yourself get caught stalking Kate though... She would think lower of you in that scenario." Michael warned her.

"Yeah yeah... Where is Desmond though?" She wondered her eyes peering through the kitchen. "He's out shopping with Lydia. They're seemingly out of groceries.. Well, do you wanna sit down?" He questioned to which Rachel gave a small nod and sat down down at the table.

"How's your life going Michael?" She asked. "I mean all our lifes here feel like hell but you seem pretty unbothered." She stated. Michael sighed. "I'm just here for the scientific support and because Desmond seems highly interesting for me." He admitted. "You know, just because Kate doesn't look at you, doesn't mean you have to hurt yourself. You have to stop that habit quickly before it escalates." He informed her. Rachel rolled her eyes and pulled her skirt more over her thighs. "Whatever..." She sighed.

The door opened again a small while later. But again no trace of Desmond. Instead who came in was Ethan, the bully everyone despised except for Kate. Since Kate didn't hate him, Rachel couldn't either. "Hey Ethan!" She called out smiling. Ethan groaned. "Now that bastard's gonna make me wait? Ugh. How long have you been sitting here?" He asked sitting down on a chair and putting his feet up on the table. "A little less than an hour." Rachel mumbled clearly a bit annoyed by his attitude.

"Damn, I hope he moves his ass here quickly." He said fixing his monocle. Rachel let out a long breath. "Ethan, could you please put your feet off the table?" She asked carefully, preparing for an argument. "Fine..." He replied putting his feet on the ground. "What do you mean 'Fine'?" Rachel was shocked. "You've never done what anyone told you to.." She mumbled.

He laughed. "Because we're all in the same boat. You people here are the only ones that get how shitty and unfair life can be." He said looking at his fingernails. Rachel slowly nodded in agreement. "I guess that's true." She leaned her head on the table. "Except for mister science over there, he seems more interested in being with Desmond to be honest." Rachel joked and Michael glared at her. "We all have our own reasons for joining. We shouldn't judge us for them." Michael stated and Ethan put an arm around his shoulder. "That's true, mate. Y'all are still better than the rest of the fucking people." He exclaimed. Rachel couldn't help but smile. The people here had really gotten close. For all it felt like a family they've never had. At that Rachel remembered Jette.

"Guys, I'll go look if Jette's okay! I'll come back soon. Don't fight while I'm gone." She teased laughing and left. The boys just smiled in her direction. Everyone in Desmonds army liked having each other around, they were close like siblings which was the nicest thing ever for them. Everyone in the army were their most important people...

While Rachel was down in the basement Ethan sat next to Michael. "Hey Michael, how's it going?" He asked curiously while almost falling off his chair because he tilted his chair too hard.

"Watch it." Michael coldly replied holding his chair safe. "I'm alright. It's not like that's much of your business though." Michael mumbled and opened a book he took with him to read. "Of course it's my business, mate! We're friends!" Ethan stated leaning his arm on his shoulder. "I don't remember being friends with you." Michael coldly replied. "Well too bad, I do. No there's no way out of this friendship, dude." He teased and then stood up.  "What's that you're reading anyways?" Ethan wondered staring down at the book.

"It's a science book." Michael informed him. "God, you're such a nerd." Ethan mumbled and sat back down.
"What's taking Desmond so long?" He groaned as the two continued to wait while Rachel looked after Jette.
