Training and desperate

Monday came around the bend and I, along with Dylan, was expected back to S.H.I.E.L.D to start training. Oh course I didn't want to get up at 6:00am but when your dad plays the trumpet stomping around your room. It's a little hard to continue the dream about Chris Hemsworth. I put on some exercise attire. Baggy volleyball t-shirt, spandex, and a pair of black Nikes. I pulled my hair into a high ponytail. And walked down from my bedroom to grab a bite to eat.
I had toast with peanut butter and cinnamon. A glass of milk and some strawberries. After I got done eating I put my dishes into the sink and filled up a water bottle, kissed my mom goodbye and walked to the car with my dad.
We drove to headquarters almost completely silent. I was tired and didn't feel like talking and it didn't seem like he had anything to say.
I went down to the training room. Sienna was practicing on a dummy when I tapped and on her shoulder and received a fist in the stomach. I had the wind knocked out of my and the next thing I knew I was on my butt.
"Oh my I'm so sorry. You scared me and I thought you were Zach." She said offering me a hand. I took it and she pulled me up.
"It's cool. I should've know better." I cracked a sideways smile.
Dylan walked into the training room. He looked tired. I walked over to him.
"Hey Dyl how was your weekend?" I smiled at him. I turned to me, pushing his glasses up and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Good. I mean I kinda missed you." He slung an arm around my waist.
"It was three days. You're a big boy I think you were okay." I laugh. He kisses me and I pull back slightly.
"What's wrong, my breath?" He asks cupping his hands and then breathing into them.
"No, no it's fine. I just kinda feel bad I mean I feel like we are being bad friends to Cass. She liked you first and I was a bad friend for going after you." I raise a hand to my forehead.
"Cass is a good person she'll understand." He assures me. I smile.
"Well I better start training." I peck his cheek and walk over to Sienna who gives me a questioning glance.
I leaned basic techniques on fighting methods, and let me tell you. That stuff ain't easy. I head to the cafeteria for lunch and plop myself next to my dad.
"Hey A.J how's training going." She smiles taking a bite of his sandwich.
"It's brutal, Sienna is kicking my butt." I crack a smile and he laughs. The Starks sit across from us. Lunch goes by pretty fast, until I feel a vibration coming from my pocket. I look at my phone to see Cass is calling me. I excuse myself and walk out into the hallway and answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Al what took you so long. I have grade A news to share with you!"
"What is it Cass. Spill."
"Okay well. You know how I REEALLY like Dylan?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Well I'm going to ask him out to get a bite to eat or go to a movie."
I bit my lip. There was a silence.
"Cass I have to tell you something."
"Make it quick 'cause I'm calling Dylan soon."
"Dylan and I kissed. I really like him a lot actually." For a second there I had diarrhea of the mouth. Everything came out. Cass's end of the line was completely silent.
"HOW DARE YOU! YOU KNEW I WAS PRACTICALLY IN LOVE WITH HIM AND YOU TURN AROUND AND KISS THEM. I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG!" She screams into the phone and then hangs up. I wipe a tear away and walk back into the cafeteria. I throw my garbage away and turn to see Dylan behind me.
"Al what's wrong?"
"I told Cass and she isn't happy. I don't think we are friends anymore. Dyl I lost my best friend!" He leads me into the hall. I cry harder and he pulls me into his chest.
"Shhh it's okay. It's okay. You'll be okay. You're always okay. Shhh" she rocks back and forth slightly reassuring me in a soothing voice. I wipe a couple of years from my face and kiss him lightly on the lips. He puts an arm around my waist and pulls me in closer to him.
"I won't let anything happen to you. If you're ever feeling sad. Count on me to make everything better. We have to depend on each other for support." He smiles. I nod
"Ditto." I give him a sad smile.
***********************************
About and hour later we are aloud to go home. We take the bus to Dylan's house. We make cookies and watch a bunch of eighties movies until I notice the sun is starting to set.
"I'll call my dad." I pull out my phone.
"You don't have to. Just sleep in the guest bedroom like you've done a thousand times." He suggests.
I nod texting my dad. Luckily, we don't have to go in tomorrow. So I can pretty much bum around all day tomorrow. I change into an old guns and roses t-shirt Dylan gives me and I head to bed thinking a about everything. The problems with Cass. Dylan and I. Being the new recruits. And most of all I think of; what happens when Dylan and I go out into the field?
