Over the next few weeks Usagi did her best at the Boot Camp. It was hard. The schedule went something like this:
6:30-7:00, Morning Exercises
7:00-8:30, Weight Training
8:30-9:00, Break fast
9:00-11:55, Weaponry Training
11:55-12:00, Water Break
12:00-12:30, Lunch
12:30-4:35, Hand-To-Hand Combat
4:35-4:40, Water Break
4:40-6:35, Battle Field Education/Strategies
6:35-9:00, Track
9:00-11:55, Training Room(Individual Training)
11:55-12:00, Water Break
12:00, Lights Out
Usually after everyday she keeled over and vomited for all she was worth, then went to bed with the worst of cramps. But that was only for the first few agonizing weeks . . .
By the fifth week, Usagi was doing exceptionally well in all of her classes. No, she wasn't as good as less than half of the boys there, for she had never taken martial arts, had never held a gun, had never even fought a real person hand-to-hand. Still, even though she was barely passing, she was passing nevertheless.
She had made friends with Quatre and Trowa, them besides Duo being the only other boys in the whole Boot Camp to look past what everyone else called her "illness". Even Hiiro didn't seem to care anymore; he just nodded to her in the hall everyday. But, even that small gesture sent flutters to her stomach, yet she hoped to God that she wasn't developing a crush on him. Besides, the same thing happened with Duo, Quatre, and Trowa.
Wufei was still an ass-hole to her, but she decided that in about two more months, she'd excel in her classes and beat the shit out of him--- hopefully.
Usagi would have been failing the Battle Field Education/Strategies class if Quatre hadn't offered to tutor her and Duo in it, so now both were passing with an 88.
All-in-all, besides the pain that accompanied her to bed each night and the head-aches she often got, not to mention the cramps and worries of having her period sometime soon, Boot Camp was exhilarating.
But she was also worried because this was only 1st semester. When 2nd semester came around, the classes would be even harder, and she wasn't anywhere near doing well.
'This has to change,' she thought sadly.
Sometimes after each day, Usagi would, instead of going to bed, sneak out of her dorm room late at night and stare at the stars in the safety of the large tree in front of the Boot Camp. On these nights, Usagi would think of her friends. But mostly, she'd wonder about her future, and ask herself the same question:
'What am I doing here, again?'

Wasn't much to change in this chapter. My next revision will be for chapter nine. See you there!
