Back to Barracks

Back to Barracks

When I got to the mess hall Sunday morning, all the others were already there.

I got my breakfast,  and sat by Jesper like nothing happened two days ago. He was acting like it never happened as well. We had one day left of our weekend break, and I was stayimg a the barracks with everyone else. Missy was staying home becaise she didn't feel too good.

The Wolves actually sat with us since we were taking a break from the competition,  so I had Jesper on one side, and Rollond on the other.

Everyone kept asking how my talk with Tursgud went, but only Jesper and Rollond knew what the actually conversation was.

Rollond didn't know about Jesper and Tursgud kissing me, Jesper didn't know about Tursgud kissing me, and Tursgud didn't know about Jesper kissing me.

I had a headache, so I just put my head down.

"Are you ok?" Rollond and Jesper asked. Jesper set a hand on my shoulder, which made me do a full body shiver, that neither he, nor Rollond noticed.

"I just have a headache, and a lot to think about today." I replied quietly, and as I stood up, I saw Jesper turn slightly pink at what I said.

No one needs to know that he kissed me. I don't know why I even told my dad.

I went to my cliff, only to be joined by Missy an hour later.

"Are you ok?" she asked.

"I don't know. I'm confused."

" 'Bout what?"

"Life, Tursgud, and Jesper."

"Ok, what about Tursgud?"

"He asked me out on Friday, then two hours later he kissed me."

"Ok, Jesper?"

"He's over protecting me, he kissed me when I went for a walk with him,  and he's acting like nothing happened."

"Would you rather him go around bragging?"

"No, I'm just confused, that's all."

I went for a walk in town later that day, and was joined by Ingvar.

"What's up, Ingvar?" I asked kindly.

"Just thought you might want some company." he grinned.

"Thanks."

We walked in silence for a few hours, then I headed back to the barracks.

For a while, I was the only one there. About half an hour later, Jesper showed up. Now I was nervous. Surely he won't try anything again, right?

"Hey Cora." he said cheerfully.

"Hi."

"How has your weekend been so far?"

"Ok, but Tursgud asked me out and kissed me on my way home after that walk. You?" When I mentioned Tursgud, he had an angry look flash across his face,  but he quickly smiled again, hoping I hadn't seen it.

"Very loud. You remember my little brother Ben, right?"

"Of course. How could I forget him?"

"Well, he misses you."

"I'll talk to him if you want."

"Please! Anything to get him to shut up at this point!"

"Hey, you don't need to be mean!" I laughed,  punchimg his shoulder jokingly.

We went to Jesper's house, and his mother called for little Ben.

"See? Told you I'd get her to come see you." Jesper grinned.

"Have him back by sunset!" their mother said.

We walked around town with Ben, and when we sat down for a break, he disappeared.

We knew he couldn't have gone too far, so Jesper search one part of town, while I searched the other.

I saw Tursgud's friends standing around, and then, I couldn't belive what I saw next.

Tursgud was pinned to the ground and being beated up by... Yep, you guessed it... Ben. I was trying hard not to laugh.

"Don say bad stuff 'bout my bubby!(Brother. Ben is only 3.) Plus, Cora like ME better than she like you! She MY girl!" little Ben yelled, punching Tursgud's head.

I didn't realize that Jesper had come up beside me and set a hand on my shoulder, so when I looked up to see him there, I jumped badly.

I walked up to where Tursgud and Ben were on the ground, and started laughing.

"Ben, what are you doing?" I asked.

"He said bubby an idiot. He said bubby go die somewhere. He bein' mean to my bubby." Ben said softly, because he thought he was in trouble. I picked him up so Tursgud could get up.

"And since when am I your girl?" I laughed.

"I dunno." he shrugged.

"Then why did you say that?"

"Felt like it. Plus, bubby want you be his girl. Thought that might help him."

I looked over to Jesper, who wouldn't make eye contact with anybody, and he was turning really red. I wasn't sure how to react. Tursgud reacted for me.

"HE WHAT?!?!?!" Tursgud exclaimed,  looking at Jesper as well. The rest of the Sharks started laughing, and so did the Wolves that were near by.

"Oh, wow. Look at the time! I better get Ben home before it gets much darker. Bye guys, see you tomorrow. See you back at the barracks Cora." Jesper said quickly, taking Ben from me and walking quickly away. As he was walking, I could hear what he was saying to Ben

"I told you not to tell anyone that! Just, never do that again. I'm never going to live this down now." Jesper said to Ben.

"Sorry Bubby. I didn know. I twyin to help you." Ben whispered.

"It's ok Ben." Jesper replied,  hugging his younger brother.

I walked back to the barracks, and found that Ulf and Wulf were there.

"What's wrong with you?" Ulf asked.

"What do you mean?" I replied.

"You're pink." Wulf explained.

"You don't want to know, and I don't want to tell you." I replied shortly, going to bed.
