Shephora's POV*
ugh it's bright .... It's so annoying ughhh . Why does the sun have to be up so fast ? I frown with my eyes closed and let out a big yawn with exaggeration as I stretch my arms as far as I could . I slowly open my eyes rubbing off the boogers in my eyes as I find myself in a completely unknown room . My heart rate fastens and I desperately try to remember how I ended up in this place . I breathe heavily as my head is clouded with a lot of thoughts . Ohhh , that's right. I'm a trainee in the mafia organization .
That's weird .
I change into the clothes that Samantha picked out for me yesterday . Revolutionary , she called this outfit revolutionary. That's quite a bit of exaggeration if I may say so but 10/10 for being so considerate to me.
I quickly head downstairs because I totally forgot about my toothbrush . I ran away from home without a toothbrush and forgot to get it at the store .
"Samanthaaa!! Are you here ? " I call out .
*THUD*
*heavy breathing*
*THUD*
wait , what . who is it and what are hey doing?? I run over to see what's happening
" You son of a bi---" I hear as I watch a beat up Ryan running over to Samantha with his fist up in the air .
Before I could think about it , my reflexes took action . And now there was a very confused me , a shocked Samantha and a knocked out Ryan in the kitchen .
Samantha didn't speak a word for a few seconds .
"What's going on?? Are you okay? " I ask her . She looks at me for another few seconds and then proceeds to laugh frantically .
Wait , what?
" Ryan's gonna be so embarrassed when he wakes up . Wait till he hears that it took only a punch to knock him out . We haven't told you , have we? We train every morning in the dungeon but since today is your first day , it's a day off . So, we're just doing a test fight ." Samantha says without batting an eye.
oh yeah , I completely forgot that we had to train, I thought it was more of a bullying thing . I'm not sure though who was being bullied because Samantha seemed to not have a scratch on her body. I feel bad for Ryan now. I should've read the room before taking any action.
" I'll get him on the couch . Meanwhile can I get a toothbrush , please? I forgot to bring a toothbrush. And I guess a first aid too " I say to Samantha and she simply nods
I take Ryan's arm , put it over my shoulders and grab his waist with one arm and hold his hand with another . God , he's heavy . I partially drag him to the couch in the living room and gently place him on the couch . Did I punch him too hard?
"here you go" Samantha hands me the first aid and a toothbrush . I do the first aid as Samantha sets up the table for breakfast .
"Where's Jason?" I subconsciously say my thoughts out loud .
"Here . Good morning " Jason walks in and goes inside the kitchen . My eyes follow him around without knowing . Ugh he's beautiful to look at . I let out a sigh , my eyes still not wanting to let go of Jason's silhouette . I watch him place his hands on Samantha's waist and place a kiss on her lips .
My heart stops . It's like I've fallen into a dark pit . I gasp without realizing and place my hands on my mouth . They're dati---
* Ryan frantically coughs as he wakes up*
" ughh . where am I? " he wakes up in pain
"oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hit you that hard . I'm so sorry"
" On your first day , you tried to kill a fellow comrade . That's disappointing " he shakes his head . Oh my god talk about bad acting skills . What the hell was that cheap ass performance??
I giggle at the amusing response.
" It only took her a punch to knock you out though" Samantha says from the kitchen .
" That doesn't mean I'm weak . It means she's strong " Ryan says without batting an eye and looks at me
For some reason I feel reassured . It felt like he wasn't telling that to Samantha but to me. And it felt really great knowing he believes in my strength and technique .
" I think I found myself a new training partner ." Ryan says.
" No Ryan you'll train with Samantha like you always have ." Jason says firmly .
" You're so rigid. Well then , let's ask her who she'll train with then . "
okay this is not happening , is it ? I shouldn't be with Jason . I know this better than anyone . I look up to Samantha . Her eyes are screaming to choose Ryan .
Even though there was nothing between Jason and me from the start and it was me with my one- sided crush thing , I still felt bitter and right now all I wanted to do was avoid Jason .
" Hey " Ryan says . " I'll make it worth it , don't worry " with a smile.
" let's train together then . I'll forward to it" I say as I held my hand and he shakes it , pulls me in close and whispers in my ears
" I know, it's just the kind of person he is that compels you to like him"
