It was Wednesday afternoon and the day was going by way to quickly for Blake. After school today she was suppose to go back to the Danger room and do another run through. As her last class ended Wolverine came back into the consul room where she had been working on a book report for her Lit. class. A moment later beast came walking in, he went to the danger room computer and started up a program.
"Ok kid come with me!" Wolverine said to her motioning for her to follow. She reluctantly followed behind him. They walked into the Danger room elevator silently. She noticed that he had yet to leave her side. When the doors opened she stepped out and noticed that he didn't follow.
"I'm gonna stay here with the doors opened kid!" He told her crossing his arms, "If it starts to become to much for you just call for me and I'll come help you out!" He finished and she nodded in understanding.
After a the program around her changed and she was standing in the Morlock sewers. She looked around and there were GRSO soldiers everywhere. She drew out her claws and ran at one of them. Slashing the first down, then the second, and then a third. One by one they fell and she never once panicked. That feral look stayed in her eyes the whole time until the program shut down and she was standing facing the elevator breathing heavy. Then once she realized that it was over she dropped to her knees. Wolverine walked over to see if she was alright, he knelt down to her level and she threw her arms around him. He hugged her awkwardly for a moment before pulling away.
"Ok ok kid you did it! Now let's get out of here!" He told her helping her to her feet. She smiled at him and they walked back to the elevator in silence.

Jamie and Trinity were sitting in the sitting room across from the dining room. Trinity was watching Jamie practice billiard shots.
"I thought for sure that Bobby was going to ask me to the Formal! Oh god..." She started looking at Jamie with wide eyes, "What if nobody asks me!" She said sitting down in a way that meant she had a realization. Jamie rolled his eyes and looked over at her.
"Relax Trinity I know somebody is going to ask you..." He told her without making eye contact.
"How do you know? Who's gonna ask me?" She pressed walking over to him.
"Well its this guy you know who's liked you since seventh grade, but hasn't had the courage to tell you..." he told her looking away.
"Jamie!" She whined shoving his arm a little bit causing him to bud off two clones of himself. All three of the Jamie's folded there arms and gave her a look.
"Sorry... forgot..." she said chuckling, "Anyway who is it!" She asked him again with wide eyes.
"Um... Trinity do you wanna... you know go to Formal with me?" He asked looking at the floor. She had never imagined that Jamie Maddrox liked her. She nodded at him not sure what words she wanted to use. Then she noticed he was looking down.
"Yeah Jamie... I'd love to!" She told him. He looked up and smiled at her and she smiled back.

Trinity and Blake were laying on their beds working on homework when Blake looked up.
"So I concurred the Danger room today!" She said chuckling a little then looking back down to finish her last Algebra assignment for the year. Trinity looked over at her.
"I'm glad!" She told her then she sat up. Blake looked over with a raised eyebrow.
"I got asked to Formal!" Trinity continued clasping her hands together.
"Oh so Jamie grew a pair and finally asked you out!" Blake summarized what she knew Trinity was about to tell her. The other girl looked over at her confused.
"You knew?" She asked, Blake laughed and nodded in reply.
"Everyone did!" Blake told her as they both put their homework away for the night. The stayed up for a few hours talking then they both got ready for bed commenting on how the weekend was just two short days away.

Most of Blake's Gen. Eds. flew by on Thursday. It was the first time she participated in any Training Classes so she thought she would have a lot of catching up to do. In Team Building they had to play dodge ball with out using their powers which seemed more about restraint than it did about team building. Then in her class that her dad taught she had to practice combat with the different people in her class.
She took down Bobby, Phoebe and Kurt with no problems. But then she had to fight Max and that was a different story entirely. When she went to strike Max with her claws, it was like a read her mind and phased through her the minute she came at him. Eventually he pinned her to the ground and Logan made them quit much to Blake's Protest.
"I'll get you Max... consider it a warning!" She told him with a laugh. He laughed back at her.
"I'll keep that in mind!" He told her as they headed to the East Tube and went up to the sitting room where they agreed to meet with everyone. It was raining that day so the whole school was stuck inside and everyone was really bored. The whole group was sitting on the floor in a circle trying to come up with something to do when Trinity turned the empty bottle of soda Max had been drinking out of on its side and placed it the in middle of the group. Several people looked up in surprise then a few laughed a agreed that they had nothing better to do so spin the bottle seemed like a good idea.
