“Okay, so not what you want to hear right now, but that was hot!” He chuckles behind me.
“You are an idiot, you know that right?
“Hey, not everyone can be a child genius. Some of us get by on our phenomenal looks.” I just shake my head at him.” What the hell are you studying anyway? I don’t think I had this many books in the whole time I was in high school, let alone one semester.”
“I am a freshman taking junior and senior classes and I missed a month of them. I have to make up for the time I missed. I wish I would have been able to get started while I was sitting on my ass recovering in the hospital for a month.”
“What the hell took a month to recover from?!
My eyes go wide, I don’t even know why I said that. I am usually so careful with my word choices, We walk into the library and I literally am at a loss for words. I don’t want to talk about Kaley or what she did to me, but I cant seem to shake her either, not even this far away.
“It’s not important, it was just really boring and I could have gotten all of this done in that time.” I roll my eyes trying to move past his question. “You don’t have to say now, but you really should talk about what happened to you. If it was that bad, you need to make sure your head is on straight. They make all the warriors who come back from missions go through a mental evaluation, every time. It’s mandatory. We seethe worst of the worst and sometimes that messes with your mind. I know how good you are, you kicked my ass without breaking a sweat, but I also know that you wouldn’t be here yet unless you needed to be. If you need to talk, we’re all here.” I look at him skeptically. “Okay, maybe not all of us, but you get the idea.” I just nodded my head, Sierra said the same thing, so did her parents and even the guys before I really got hurt. I’m just not ready yet. hate how weak I feel just thinking about what happened to me, talking about it makes it that much more real and not just a nightmare.
“I really do have to study, but thank you Wyatt, for everything today.” He took the dismissal and turned to go.
“I’ll come get you for dinner okay? At least you can stand in line with us since you have to sit next to the hardass.”
I nod again. “Sounds good. I’ll take all the relief I can get.”
He stepped out and closed the door. I got everything that is currently due mostly done and made a schedule for getting all the back work done. I’m hoping can get caught up in a week, but adding in early morning and after school training with Audrina is going to cut into my time. I also decide to ask Lillian, Wyatt and Nathaniel about getting an alarm clock so I don’t have to rely on Audrina to get me up until my body clock gets used to being here, Once get a feel for the training schedule and how tired I will be after I can make a better study schedule.
It feels like only minutes have gone by, but Wyatt knocks on the door and sticks his head in before I can even reply.
“Alright bookworm, enough of that. Pack up your sh*t and get your ass out here and you are not allowed to ditch us after dinner either. You need a break.” I just laugh as
Nathaniel and Lillian both walk in behind him. They helped me gather everything up and I was going to store my school books here, but after a very short discussion, he convinced me it was probably a better idea to keep everything in my room so it can’t be sabotaged by Audrina, since this is a common space.
