She smiled as he then introduced himself and then went on his way. A bit intrigued by his way of speaking and his mannerisms, Jade wanted to ask him a couple more questions, but she let him walk away. Jade quickly returned to Mora and Lauren with a less harsh look on her face. The small girl had felt the girl's eyes boring into the back of her and immediately cut them off before they could make any quirky comments, "I went to thank him. Nothing more." Her face felt red again as she knew she'd get hell for going off and talking to a stranger, a boy much less. Lauren and Mora had both made it a big deal for Jade to let up in the past, yet she had refused countless times to socialize. "Come on. We need to get to our cabin so then we can go eat. Believe it or not I'm actually hungry," it was a simple attempt to prompt the girl's to get moving which happened to do its job. "I wonder if sergeant asshole is going to be like that all of training." It was a comment made out loud more to herself than anything, even though she knew the girls would hear as they neared the others. Keeping close to her friends, Jade began to look at all of the cadets. There were several faces that she had seen in the past. Some she remembered more than others like Reese and Gabriel. She lingered on the tall boy's face; it was one that she would never forget. All of the faces of that damned day she would never forget. A frown formed on Jade's face, with her bottom lip slightly pouring out. She seemed as if she was about to cry, and for a second, even she thought that, but to cry was to show weakness. They young girl pushed the thoughts to the side and cleared her throats quickly before changing her facial expression. A small smile accompanied by a wave was all she gave Reese, Gabriel, and the rest that accompanied them, before looking down and scowling at the ground. [i]'I don't need them sticking up for me. I don't need anyone sticking up for me. I won't depend on anyone.[/i] In the corner of her eye she saw someone arrive from the direction that two of the boys had gone off to run. The first one to make it back was the other boy that had been called a midget. Jade felt sorry for him having to go off and run. He looked dead. She made a mental note to meet him later on, and make sure that he didn't let the midget comments bring him down. They both were small, but at the end of the day their height wouldn't determine if they made it out alive. It was their ability to learn and adapt that would determine it.
