Lance POV

The bell rang, and we all left the cafeteria. I can't believe it. I ask James one question, and he death stares me for the rest of breakfast. And poor Hunk had to sit there watching us, and, like the cinnamon roll he is, try and start a conversation. I shook my head and pulled out my schedule. Me and James will never be friends. I scanned my paper, looking for my first class. "Flight simulation" huh, that sounded interesting. On my way to the class, I spotted Keith. "Keith!" I yelled, running over to him. He turned, saw me, and smiled "Hey Lance." I stopped next to him "Hey man. I-uh, just wanted to say thanks. For standing up for me last night." His smile fell "You heard that?" I nodded "Yeah, but it's no big deal." "Cool. I uh, meant what I said. About, you know, you being a good person." I smiled and ruffled his hair "Thanks Mullet." he smiled "No problem Loverboy. Where you headed?" "Flight simulation." "Ooh, I have that too! I've been in them before, you'll love it. It's really fun!" I raised an eyebrow "The emo Mullet is excited? Must be really cool." He frowned at me "I'm not emo. But they are cool. I got to help test them out this summer." Crap. Ronny was right, he did get to practice with them. We walked into the classroom, and I smiled brightly. Hunk and Kinkade were also there along with..James. Ugh. I nudged Keith "Hey look, the others are here." He looked around the room before his eyes landed on them. He smiled and grabbed my arm "Come on, lets go." He pulled me along with him to the others. I snuck up behind Hunk and yelled "BOO!" in his ear. He jumped up and turned, glaring at me "Lance! stop doing that!" Keith and Kinkade smiled, while James frowned. "Lance, he doesn't like that so stop." I rolled my eyes "Come on, what's a joke between friends?" Kinkade smiled "Yeah, and it's not like you haven't tried doing it to me and Veronica." James frowned at him and walked away. Keith stared at him "What's his problem? He looked fine a couple seconds ago." he asked, and Hunk and Kinkade shrugged "I don't know. He's been pretty moody all day." Hunk said with a shrug. "Maybe there's something we don't know." I said. "Maybe he's gay." Keith whispered, and Kinkade nodded solemnly "Maybe." We all burst out laughing, which earned us a few odd looks. A girl with light brown skin and dark black hair, that looked purple walked over to us, with a girl with light skin, freckles, and a short blond bob. "Hey guys! I'm Rizavi and this is Ina. Whatcha guys laughing about?" the purple haired one asked. Hunk shook his head "Inside joke. You wouldn't get it." She shrugged, then looked at Kinkade "Wait.. I know you. You were in my math class!" Kinkade smiled at her "Hi Riz. Long time no see." She smiled at him. Keith piped in "Uh, yeah, who are you? Sorry I zoned out." She shrugged "Happens to the best of us. I'm Rizavi and this is Ina. Aren't you Shiro's little brother?" Keith sighed "Yeah. My names Keith." "Nice to meet you Keith. Shiro talks about you a lot." "He does?" she smiled "Oh yeah. He also has a bunch of pictures of you and Mr.Adam on his desk. I have him for Robotics." Keith cringed "What kind of pictures?" "Lot's of ones of when you guys are presumably younger, probably when you're 8 and he's 16, 17. One has a 35-36 year old man in it." Ina answered. I just stared at her, along with Hunk. Kinkade and Rizavi laughed "Yeah. Ina's a math wiz. She helps Crutis tutor and make the class work." Ina just stared, no emotion on her face. It was kinda creepy. "Alright cadets, time for class." Someone yelled out, and Keith smiled. I turned to see Shiro standing in the doorway, with a serous expression on his face. "Line up." We all scrambled to form a line, and once we had, Shiro walked from one end to the other talking. "You're all here because you want to be pilots for the Garrison. Some of you will be cargo pilots, other fighter. Here you will see wether or not you make the cut. Only 30 of you will continue training for fighter pilots. The rest will either be cargo pilots, or be reassigned." he gestured to the gray pods stationed around the room "These are the simulators. They're basic, but as the year goes on, we will receive newer, harder simulators. Your flying skills will not be the only thing judging wether or not you continue with your training. Grades and behavior will also play a major role. So I strongly suggest that you don't get into any fights." It seemed like he was staring at me and James on that last part. "SO." he said with a smile "Who's ready to start training?"

-Time skip- its dinner time

After I grabbed my tray, I went over to the table where the others were sitting. I set my tray next to Pidge, and sat down. "Hey Lance. How was your classes?" I smiled 
"They were great. For my first one I have "Flight Simulation", and you and Ronny are the only ones in our group that aren't in the class." Pidge shrugged "I'm better with computers. Give me a broken engine and I'll fix it in minutes. Give me a ship and it'll crash in seconds." Hunk nodded "Yeah. And I'm only in the class because the engineer is supposed to be able to fly in case of an emergency." Kinkade smiled at him "Oh come on Hunk. Flyings not that hard. You did good." "Thanks, but I'd prefer to be in the back. I get motion sickness sometimes." Keith sat down next to me "That sucks man. But how are you going to be an engineer on the ship if you get sick on the ship?" Hunk stopped eating. "Wow. I-uh, hadn't thought of that." Keith shrugged "Maybe you should talk to Iverson. If you don't like the class I'm sure you can get it changed." "What? No! Almost our entire group is in that class! Come on Hunk, don't leave." Hunk smiled reassuringly "I'm not leaving." I sighed in relief. Two more trays appeared on the table, and Ronny and James sat down. "Hey V, tell them what we did in robotics. " Ronny smiled and nodded "So, we had to start a semester projects, which were to build a robot that can perform basic tasks aboard a ship. So today we got the head done. And it has lights and sounds, and Pidge programmed it to play Thriller and do disco lights." Everyone laughed, except for James, who just stabbed his food.  "My dad didn't even react. He just waited for it to stop and told us not to do that again." I forgot that Pidge's dad taught robotics. The teachers for each subject seemed to change every year, so I was always getting them mixed up. "Did you see Keith in the simulator? It was amazing." Kinakade said, breaking the silence. Keith shook his head "It wasn't that good. Those machines are easy. The one for later in the year are harder." James glanced up from his food "You got to test them?" Keith nodded, along with Pidge. "Yeah. The Holts made them, and me and Shiro tested them." Pidge laughed "They did races, and you should've seen the look on Shiro's face when he lost. It was priceless." Pidge and Keith laughed "Yeah, and then I beat him in the rest of the races, and beat his score in the simulator. He was PISSED." The rest of dinner passed, and all of us were in good spirits. Keith and Kinkade even got James to smile a few times. As I we left to go to our respective rooms, I wondered what was up with him. First he's nice and happy, then he's rude and moody. I would never understand him.
