You decided that since he's already there, why not right? What's the worse that could happen.
"So hey." You said, which sounded weak. "You talking to me?" Derick ask, not looking at you. "Yeah... I have a question for you. Did you transfer from another faction or are you Fearless born?" You continued, looking back to surprised and gasping looks from your friends. "What right do you have to ask me, peacefreak." He says monotonously, he walks off without finishing his food. "Wow, you have a death wish don't you?" Cynthia says, chuckling.
As you and your new friends walk back to your bunk, you see the guy who started calling you a peacefreak glance at you, before continue talking with his other friends. "That's Joe Parkson, an Erudite-transferred initiate. The girl to his left is Jessica Qwinson, Erudite transferred as well. The guy to his left is Don Mikell, Clarity transferred initiate." Mindy says, sounding particularly annoyed with them. "I heard that Joe learnt how to fight since he was six years old. The only reason Jessica came is to try and get together with him, but she isn't weak. She's quite fit." Cynthia continued, looking at me and Jacob. You walk towards your bed and Jacob climbs to the upper bed.
You fall asleep.
"Rise and shine, you guys have 10 minutes to prepare and then we'll start training." Derick shouts, before walking towards the training room. The training room is a large hall, each side is something to train muscles and agility. At the middle of the room, is a boxing ring, where two people will be pit against each other. There's a chart to the left of the ring that shows who will be fighting against each other. You start to prepare and walk towards the training room alone.
"So how did you sleep?" Jacob ask, yawning. "Fine, nothing special," you reply, stretching. "There will be two groups of people, the first group will use the punching bag while the other will start with the gun training. If you hear your name, you're on the first group." Derick says, with his monotonous voice. "Alissa, Shanice... Joe, James. All those called will do the punching bag first. These will be your permanent grouping. You may see the chart later to see who you'll be pit against." You look towards Joe, who doesn't look at you. But you can see that he glance at you every so often. "Are you going to be fine with Joe, or do you want me to switch you with someone else?" Derick asks, standing in front of you. You get shocked, and turn to face him. "No, I'll be fine." You reply weakly, and he walks off.
"Will you really be okay with him in the same group?" Jacob ask, concerned. "Of course he will, he's not some kind of pussy right?" Joe says, interfering. "You better not bully him, or else." Cynthia says, sharply. "Or else what, you gonna slap me with you little purse?" He laughs, and walk off. "He's such an asshole." Mindy says, staring at him. "Thanks guys, but I'll be fine, I'm sure." You say, trying to sound confident.
At the punching bag, you use your elbow and try to strike it. "Your technique is wrong, here let me show you how it's done." Derick says, grabbing your arm. You feel him get close to you, until your back and his body starts touching as he directs your arm and elbow. "You're pretty fast, if you're able to strike first you have a chance in winning." He says, before walking away.
