I'm sorry, I had to start off with my baby ;) I just couldn't help it!
I took a bite of the cold stew they had served us for dinner, ignoring the bland taste. I had grown used to the food by now. Across the table from me was Sasha, who was practically drooling over the stew. I laughed.We had been best friends ever since the second day of training. The first day I couldn't really talk to her, since she was running laps the whole time.
"Hey, (Y/n)?"
I looked up to see Marco Bott, who was holding a tray of food.
"Can we sit here?" He asked, motioning to him and Jean, who I not-so-secretly had a crush on. My cheeks flushed pink the second our eyes met, and I looked away.
"Y-Yeah, sure," I said, and scooted over to they could join us. Marco sat down next to Sasha, and Jean sat down next to me. Our shoulders brushed as he settled down next to me, and my blushed flared up once again as sparks went through my arm.
Thank goodness the lighting was dim in here, so it wasn't as noticeable. At least, I hope it isn't noticeable.
"So, how did your vertical maneuver training go today?" Marco asked. It took me a minute to realize that he talking to me, since I was so focused on watching Jean eat.
"Oh, um, it went well. I didn't fall this time," I said, cringing at the memory of me dangling from a tree like a living piñata. That might've not been quite as embarrassing if I hadn't crashed into that tree before I fell.
At least my wires had caught me. I could've broken a bone from that height!
Sasha laughed. "Yeah, that was pretty funny!"
Jean laughed, too, and my face turned an even darker shade of red. Oh yeah, he had seen that. Great. He was a master at using his gear, and I couldn't even dodge a tree!
"You know, (Y/n), if you ever need help, I can show you how to maneuver better," Jean said, nudging me with his elbow.
"U-Uh, thanks," I said, looking down at my half-eaten food.
"I can help you, too, (Y/n)!" Marco said, smiling brightly at me. He really was one of the sweetest guys I knew, and I wasn't surprised he offered to help.
Jean snorted. "Oh please, you aren't half as good as me."
"I'm almost as good as you," Marco protested, and Jean gave that sexy, cocky smirk of his and I felt my heart beat quicken.
"Yeah, sure. Just admit it, Marco, I'm better. You're good at...other stuff."
The two began to bicker, though I could tell it was just friendly arguing. Sasha and I shared a look before going back to our meal.

After dinner, I decided to take a shower before everyone else finished dinner. I was in the middle of stripping when the door opened.
I assumed it was Annie, since she normally showered early, too. She liked to avoid people as much as she could.
I heard a chuckle behind me, and I gasped when I heard it. First of all, that was not Annie. I had never seen her crack a smile, much less chuckle, and second of all, that was most definitely a male's chuckle. Why was there a boy in the girls shower room?!
I spun around, my jacket clutched over my bare chest. Thank goodness my pants were still on!
To my surprise, when I turned around I was met with a pair of honey brown eyes, only a few away from my face. That classic smug smirk grew on his lips when he saw my cheeks flare up with heat. I was too stunned to move.
