I looked at the general, then at the new recruit. How can a scrawny boy like him join the YTS? "Now Kristen, don't be rude. He may not have the uhh... physical appearance of a trooper but hey, anyone can be a trooper, right?" General Hooly said before chuckling. 'yeah, dream on general. ' I said to myself.
" Well Kristen, this is Alex, Alex this is Kristen." the general said.
"Hiii," he said, staring at me. How can you be so perverted and stare at a lady like that when she's right there in your face?
"Hello" I said back coldly. I wasn't looking at him but I could tell he was still looking at me. He was making me very uncomfortable.
"So!" said the general, breaking the silence, " how about Kristen show you around the YTS? How does that sound, Alex?"
" That sounds great." Alex said, finally turning his focus to something other than me. The general nudged me, so I reluctantly got up. " Follow me" I said emotionless. He quickly ran after me. I walked to the main room where the troopers were happily chattering. The minute they saw me walk in, they hushed up. "Okay troopers!" I said putting on an extremely fake smile, " This is our new recruit, Alex Trivosa." Everyone turned their heads. They probably thought it was a joke. A lot of them started whispering. Only the other wimps, like Tyler Crow and a bunch of others, were grinning. "Listen, I know he's not exactly the trooper you might think of, but still, general said we should welcome him. Now I order you to clap!" I shouted. They immediatly started clapping. After my "speech" I was about to talk to some troopers when someoe tapped my shoulder. I turned around to see Jason. Ugh. This perv. He's the last person I want to see.
"Hey sugarbaby," he said.
"What do you want?" I asked rudely.
"I just wanted to see if you were ok. By the way, you look smokin'." he said, moving closer to me.
"Go away." I ordered sternly.
"Why, cause you don't want to admit that you love me?" he asked, trying to kiss me. I pushed him away and slapped him in the face. " If you touch me one more time I will make sure you never see the light again!" I shouted. Then I walked away furious. How can Jason be so stupid and take advantage of me like that. ME?! He better watch out cause I'm not some easily flattered girl like he thinks I am. Idiot.
"He's a jerk, isn't he?" Jenna said. Jenna is one of the most dedicated people I know. She is my best friend, and we share everything in common. Hey, just because I"m strict doesn't mean I can't have friends!
"Tell me about it." I answered.
"So what about the new guy? Has he ever even lifted a weight in his life?" Jenna asked. I laughed, although that statement could be true. I mean, has he lifted anything? I just really hoped he wouldn't mess anything up. I checked my watch. 7:30. "Ok troopers," I said, "time for breakfast!"
