Getting everything that trainees needed took her some time.

For the third time going to the quarters to put everything in their rightful places, she was finally done with it.

Where was everyone?

Pulling down the sleeves of her jacket that she had rolled up sometime earlier, Sophie rearranged it and reached for her heels that she had kicked off, so she could walk around faster.

And as she was putting on last remaining heel the doors to quarters opened and a lot of people came in. Both parties freezing in their spots.

By the appearance of the people opposite her, Sophie assumed that these are the trainees that had some fun time drowning.

'I wonder who the smartass that saved them was.'

"What do we have here?" one of them said.

Sophie's eyes shot to the person speaking. Slowly letting her eyes drop down back to her shoe, she finally managed to put it back on.

"Look, guys, I think we have a new competition. Very pretty competition, might I add." the same guy continued which was followed with some snickers.

"Shut it, Charlie." some girl said. Sophie recognized her from earlier with Percival.

"Who are you?" the boy, whom she now knew as Charlie, asked.

Sophie straightened and cleared her throat, and keeping her head high she answered:

"Not a person you should be questioning. I suggest for you to change if you don't want to die of hypothermia."

"Such a pretty girl, but way too stuck up. I wonder where did they dig you up?" Charlie laughed.

"That's enough, Charlie." girl from earlier perked up again.

These must be the weirdest trainees she had ever endured.

Not answering anything, Sophie made her way to the door, just to be stopped by Charlie grabbing her hand.

"Will you excuse me, I have more important matters to attend to." Sophie said slightly irritated.

"What can be more important than our company?" Charlie asked and looked at Digby and Rufus.

"Pretty much everything." Eggsy answered.

"What was that Eggy?" Charlie stared daggers at him.

"I said that pretty much everything is more important than your stupid company." Eggsy answered and walked to his bed to retrieve a towel.

"You don't think that do you?" Charlie looked at Sophie.

"Just let her go, bruv." Eggsy said and dried his hair.

"Or what?" Digby asked.

"Or I'm pretty sure, she'll make you funeral suit." Eggsy said and sat on bed. Sophie shot him a look, small smile gracing her features. Charlie just snickered.

"You know we're not allowed to interact with other people right now." Roxy said and grabbed towel herself.

Okay, Sophie was done with this. She had more pressing things on her to do list today. With a hard push into Charlie's shoulder, Sophie stepped around him.

"Some of us has work to do." She gritted and turned around to look at all the trainees. She was probably the youngest one in the room, but felt most mature from all of them.

"Good luck with your training, you'll need It." she addressed everyone, then turning to Charlie, she continued:

"Let's just hope that I won't forget to make sure your suit is made correctly." and with that she went out.
