"Let's go" I told Ronan because we really had to get ready for training now if we wanted to make it on time.

It was Friday and by the looks of it there had been a huge stash of paper waiting for him this morning which he had spent the whole day on.

Only about half an hour ago I had been done with the other rooms and was able to finally get the treat I had waiting for all day:
Causally walking into his room as if I was cleaning when in actuality I was reveling in his presence and talking none stop.

Like the rest of the week I was tired but I had managed to hide it from him for now. In conclusion it couldn't be too bad since it was still manageable.
I just needed to work really hard now that I had all of these duties.

"Fine" he replied before organizing the papers on his desk quickly.
I noticed that he was still wearing his usual clothes and had yet to put on his uniform. Actually it was the same for me so I really needed to get my butt up and leave instead of watching him change.

Yes, that was the rational decision.

"I'll leave first and go change. See you soon!" I called out while ripping the door open, almost fleeing before it was too late to turn away from his abs.
Life was tough...

Energized by his presence I skimmed down the stairs, careful not to hurt myself before the training had even begun.
When I rushed into our dorm room I met Daisy who was probably getting ready for dinner.
I had to admit that I was a little jealous since my stomach had been rumbling for hours.
But for the sake of my job and training I had to push my bodily needs back a little.

"I love your hair" I told her because she was wearing it open now that she had finished work. She sent me the cutest beaming smile before shyly brushing a few strands behind her ears.

"Thank you. Are you coming with me today?" She asked almost hopefully. I immediately felt guilty because I had to reject her once again.

With a scowl I pushed my lips together before replying "I'm sorry, training starts in twenty minutes".
Understandingly she nodded before her face grew concerned.
"Don't you think that there's a little too much on your plate right now? Even for you it's a lot, right?" She asked, small creases forming in between her brows.

During the last week I had pushed the thought so far away that I didn't know an answer at first. It wasn't something I could decide, it was something I just had to do.

"It's fine, I'll grab a bite afterwards" I told her with a huge smile that would hopefully smoothen the creases on her forehead.

"Fine, just tell me if you need help" she said which reminded me why she was such a great person and friend.

"I definitely will. Thank you" I told her before remembering why I had actually come back here.
I needed to change.

Before she was out of the door I had already begun stripping, throwing my clothes everywhere in order not to lose time. There was no clock in the room so I had no idea how much time I had left but it couldn't be a lot.
