Ginger & Sage

Chapter 10

*One month later*

Ginger POV:

It's been a month since the blow out with sehun and seeing him with Sage, to say I wasn't hurt would be a lie. After that day I started to drift away from Sage and hang out with other people. Bobby, B.I and Yongguk really helped me get through this, especially Yongguk. He's so intelligent, caring and kind-hearted. Plus he is easy on the eyes. He was the only thing saving me from a pit of depression and loneliness.

"RM, Jin, Suga, Jhope, Jimin, V, Jungkook, Bobby, B.I, Sehun, Rosemary, Ginger and Sage, please report to the Training Center."

At this point in the year, the students are unphased by the mention of our names so no one turns to look. Closing my textbook I slowly slide out of my seat and make my way out the classroom door.

By the time I get to the gym everyone is there and waiting. My eyes instantly find Sehun's. I take a deep breath and avert my eyes to Bobby, B.I and....Yongguk? I didn't hear his name being called, but I'll take a seat since Mistress and Coach are waiting for me to do so.

The Mistress' glaring eyes follow me as I settle myself between Bobby and Yongguk.

"Now that you're all here, we can tell you why." the Mistress motions Coach Minho to speak.

"We've been tracking each of you since day one and you 12 are the highest ranking students. Therefore you have been chosen to train for the next 2 months and then be sent on a mission-"

Dr. Jinki takes a step forward cutting him off, "In that time period you will be exempt from class and will follow a different schedule than the rest of the students."

From my peripheral vision I see a hand raise. "Yes Jungkook?" Onew ask.

"So what i'm hearing is that we don't have class."

"Yes Jungkook, I just said that."

"Any more stupid questions?" Mistress say's while rolling her eyes.

I glance around the room to see everyone looking at each other as if we were thinking the same thing, then at once we all raise our hands.

Rolling her eyes again she stomps her foot and storms out of the gym with Dr. Jinki in tow.

Coach turns and analyzes all of us before speaking, "Okay training starts today so you'll need to pair up."

Naturally everyone gravitated to who they wanted to pair with. I threw my arms around Bobby while he glared at me. "Hajima! Hajima! Hajima!" B.I yells while removing my arms.

Were interrupted by Coach's laugh, "Oh you thought you were picking your own partners? Dr. Jinki made your pairs for you based on your.....compatibility." Coach says with a smirk.

"Listen up, I'm not going to repeat myself:

Jungkook & Jin

V & RM

Jimin & Yongguk

Jhope & Rosemary

Sage & Suga

Ginger & Sehun

Bobby and B.I"

Everyone goes to find their partner while I stand back hesitantly.

"Time for you two to go." Yongguk says reassuringly while patting my back. 'Where did he even come from?!'

I awkwardly walk towards Sehun while Yongguk's words replay in my mind 'Correct your mistakes.'

"Hi Sehun." I say timidly.

"Hey..." He nods in response.

I glance over at Yongguk and he sends me a thumbs up.

"Okay class hit the weights, 2 months will fly by fast!" Coach shouts across the gym.

"How should we know?! We don't even have calendars!" Bobby scoffs.

"Good thing I do." Coach replies.

Sage POV:

I'm practicing weapons combat with Suga. Everything was going smoothly till I got distracted by Coach Minho calling my name. At that moment Suga had lunged for a strike, stabbing me in the stomach, 'killing me dead'..........

Or at least I wished that happened.

Things have been weird between Ginger and I ever since the situation with Sehun. I've known her for almost 8 years so I can tell she's trying to distance herself from me, so I let it happen. If she decides to tell me why then I will be waiting.

But that's not the only reason I haven't been around. I've been hanging out with Suga lately and all my earlier thoughts about him changed. I realized that we actually have a lot in common. For instance, we both love music and hate his mom! However I will admit that sometimes it does alarm me at how comfortable I have grown around him in such a short time. The doctor must have noticed because the other day he came up to me and told me to remember that 'sometimes it's good to let new people into my life'.

'Good?! Yeah right the last time I let someone new into my life, I ended up getting arrested!' I think to myself.

Anyways....if Dr. Jinki figured out that Suga and I have been spending time together, that means I need to be more careful. If anyone else finds out it could be really bad. Especially with Ginger and the Mistress. Ginger would KILL me! She may be weaker physically between the two of us but she is definitely the more agile one. And the Mistress....she already hates me, there's no telling what she would do to me if she thought I was "corrupting" her son further.

"Okay class hit the weights, 2 months will fly by fast!"

I turn to look at Suga with a blank expression. "You know that everyone will be watching us because of the fight right?" I state.

"I guess we better put up a good front then."

I'm about to give a retort when we I feel a hand land on each of our shoulders. "I just wanted to let you two know that the only fighting you will be doing will be done under my watchful eyes. If I catch you fighting any other times, I've been instructed to hand you over to the Headmistress herself. Got it?" Without waiting for a reply, Coach Minho gives us a firm pat on the back and heads over to the next pair.

"I don't know what would be worse. Training for this stupid mission or having to deal with my mom?" Suga thinks out loud.

'Seriously, is it too late to pick jail?!' I heave a deep sigh and begin stretching. "I don't know. But I do know one thing."

"And that is....?"

"It's gonna be a long two months..."
