chapter 6: weekend off

Saturday morning is a time for rest, which is why Chloe was amazed when she woke up to see Rachel sat at there shared desk with her notes spread in front of her revising. After a while Chloe decided to speak up "you know theres such thing as to much work right?" she asked.

"yes but this isn't to much, its first weekend of term you should be rested after the holidays" she replied "anyway, personally i want to ace the test next week in ports class"

"theres a test?" asked Chloe.

"yes, haven't you been listening, we have a test on basic Grimm on Wednesday" replied Rachel.

"oh shit, please help me revise" Chloe pleaded.

"OK, once, but after that you have to pay attention so you actually know whats going on and so you can revise without my help" she said.

"OK, i promise I'll try to listen, so when are we gonna revise like tomorrow or Monday"

"now"

"now?"

"yes, now. so get dressed and well go to the hall for breakfast before we get started"

"got it" Chloe moaned as she finally managed to fully drag her self out of bed and grabbed some clothes before walking in to the bathroom to change. it was at this point that Max woke up and sat up in bed looking over at Rachel who was still revising "you know, theres such thing as to much work" said max.

"so I've heared" replied Rachel.

"Chloe?" Max guessed.

"hit the nail on the head" Rachel said.

"makes sense" said Max "she seems to be the type"

"tell me about it" muttered Rachel.

"so, you revising for the Grimm bio test?"

"yep" said Rachel as Chloe walked out of the bathroom now fully dressed "we were gonna head down to grab some breakfast, you wanna come?"

"no, gonna freshen up and wait for Kate to wake up then well head down" said Max.

"cool, see you later" said Rachel with Chloe calling "later" over her shoulder as the two of them left the room.


Max emerged from the bathroom after showering and dressing to see Kate was finally up "morning" Max yawned as she sat down on her bed.

"morning Max" replied Kate as she searched through a bag she kept under her bed "how did you sleep?"

"oh not to badly" replied Max.

"good" said Kate.

"so, you wanna go grab some breakfast?" asked Max.

"sure" replied Kate "just let me get changed and we can get going"


Chloe and Rachel where walking along the corridor back to there room when they say Max and Kate leaving "you better hurry up before they finish serving" Rachel said as they passed "theres only 15 minutes of serving time left then another 20 for the last people to finish eating"

"got it" said Max "we'll be back in about half an hour"

"see ya then" said Chloe.

"Bye" said Rachel as she pushed the room door open and walked back in followed by Chloe.

"so, revising?" asked Chloe.

"yes your not getting out of this" replied Rachel "were gonna revise and your gonna get a good score an that test"

"that'll be a first" muttered Chloe.

"what?" asked Rachel.

"nothing" lied Chloe.

they spent the next few hours working through all of the notes they had and looking up extra information in a series of books Rachel had on Grimm anatomy, they had a break for lunch and then returned to studies though Chloe could barely focus after they returned to there studies.

"is all this studying to much, you wanna take a break for an hour or so?" asked Rachel.

"yeah i cant focus on this any more" said Chloe.

"so, what you want to do?"

"play games?"

"OK you got a console"

"yeah i got a Xbox"

"i always preferred PC personally"

"snob"

"shut up and link it to the TV"

"whatever you say, you still cant escape the truth"

" playing PC doesn't make me a snob" replied Rachel as she activated the controller app on her scroll and linked it to the console "so what games you got on this thing?"

"what you thinking about"

"hum... got any FPS's"

"yeah, COD, Battlefront, Battlefield, Destiny 1 and 2"

"firstly, Destiny is an MMORPG secondly they added split screen PVP to D2 so where playing that"

"got it"

"let me just load up my account so i can use my loadout"

"wait, you use ace of spades and cut and run,,,with avalanche, thats just cheese"

"yes but super deadly cheese, so what you using?"

"duke, first in last out and thunderlord"

"oh, your talking about cheese whilst using thunderlord, i see how it is"

"shut up your a warlock with nova warp"

"good point but your a hunter with spectral blades"

"whatever, thats enough talk lets fight"

"yes, lets"

four matches later it was 3-1 to Rachel and Chloe was getting irritated "one more match and this one is the decider" said Chloe "ignoring previous score the winner of this is the overall winner"

"fine by me" replied Rachel.

"and no messing about this time" said Chloe as she switched to play of the game for a heavy and equipped vigilance wing in her primary slot.


that evening the team sat around chatting about what they'd done that day "i cant believe you let her bait you like that, you where way to confident" Max said to a pouting Rachel.

"i should of won all odds said that i had a 75% chance of winning" Rachel pointed out.

"yeah, but Vigilance wing is a pulse rifle and there in the meta" said Max.

Rachel humphed "stupid meta"

"looks like the rich girls got but hurt over loosing" chuckled Chloe.

"i do not have a clue what your all rambling about" interjected Kate.

"video games, you know about video games right?" said Chloe.

"no" said Kate "i know what they are but i don't really know anything about them"

"Max what have you been doing all the time you too have known each other and you haven't inducted in to the cult of gaming yet" asked Chloe "we'll have to fix that in the next few years here" 'theres a lot to do but these lot could be decent team mates' Chloe thought 'just gonna have my work cut out getting them to become a little more chill, but thats fine this has been the first of many weeks with them, I've got time'.
