Kinkade POV
After the whole cutting scare, Keith slowly became more and more like his usual self. He was still pretty quiet and moody, but he wasn't holed up in his room anymore. He smiled, and sometimes,he even laughed. Him and James fell into their normal rhythm, and a few times they both had some marks on their neck too. He somehow became an even better pilot, but almost ignored his actual classwork. As the year wore on, our classes became more and more difficult. We hung out less and less, especially with Lance and Hunk. Lance also made up some kind of rivalry with Keith, always trying to beat him at everything. When the end of the year came, we couldn't be so relieved. This fucked up year was almost over.
We had EOCs, some kind of fitness test, and a flying test. They were gonna test us in the simulators to see if we still "deserved" our ranking in the class. They'd be putting us in groups, combing the fighter and cargo ppilots. I had James, Rizavi, Ina, Veronica and a few others in my group. Lance, Hunk and Keith were all in the same group, and I knew that there'd be trouble. Keith was sleep deprived and stressed,and Lance was, well, Lance. He was top of the cargo pilot class, and that had made his cocky and arrogant.
When our group went, we all completed the tasks with ease, and waited outside for the others to finish. But they never came. At least, not together. Iverson came out, dragging Keith by his upper arm. He had a bruise forming on his cheek, and blood on his knuckles. When he saw James, he immediately pointed his eyes at the ground. The Crutis came out, holding Lance by his shoulder. He had a bloody nose and looked pissed. James and Veronica's faces fell. They had gotten into a fight. And from the looks of it, Keith had won. But at what cost?
Hunk came out next, along with the rest of the group. "Hunk what happened?" I asked. He looked shocked, and shook his head lightly. "It was crazy. Lance said something, and Keith just went ballistic." "What'd he say?" James asked, voice shaking. Hunk looked concerned cYou don't want to know." "Hunk, what did he say?" James asked, his voice stern. His eyes were cold and his whole body was tense. Hunk sighed "Well, it wont make sense unless I tell you everything that happened."
