"What's up, Hydro?" I asked her. She responded with a sort of hiss. I gathered her bridle and other materials to put on her. After I got her ready Cole came over.

"So, since it seems like you have a good bond with her you need to work on dodging and defence while flying." He instructed. It's been a bit weird having him date one of my best friend's/roommate. I know it's weird for Dani too.

"What exactly would I be dodging?" I asked him. Even though he was supposed to be some kind of "Scary instructor" I still refuse to let him command me like he usually does. I really hope Dani knows we could never go on double dates.

"Tennis balls," he answered walking away. "Go to Section 7!" he called out to me. I got on Hydro and flew over there taking as much time as I can before I get beaten with small objects.

In the walls were little holes, where i'm guessing the balls came out. There was a staff member with a clipboard by a button that started it and stopped it. He was there to watch every move I make, so no pressure obviously. I flew up to the middle of the room and thought about how I would do this. There was glass on one side, so that's one wall that wouldn't project things at me.

"Okay, i'm ready." I called out towards the man. I stared at the walls waiting for them to beat me senseless.

It took a few minutes to activate them. The first ball came from the right wall towards my head. Hydro's only way to shield us are her large wings. they only cover I have is by hiding behind her fins, or just dodging in general. Since it was coming towards my head I leaned backwards, watching it pass right by my nose. The next ball came from the left towards my foot. So I picked my foot up and the ball hit Hydro's stomach. She let out a small hiss in anger. So the next ball that had came was the wall in front of us so I let Hydro drop downwards a little bit. It passed over us quickly and the balls started to advance.

I had to lean right and left, and steer Hydro upwards and downwards. Surprisingly, Hydro and I only got hit a few times by too many balls coming towards us in all directions. The bruises I had were on my right arm, and left leg. The other balls didn't hurt me as much.

The machine had finally stopped and I got pulled away by the staff member.

"You haven't done this before have you?" he asked me. Confused I wondered out loud.

"Should I have done so already?"

"No, I was just wondering." He answered, keeping his head down, writing on the clipboard. When I went to get water, he started talking to Cole. This, made me nervous. Did I do bad? Am I not supposed to get hit at all?

Our next class was combat. The last time we did this Raidon beat me, it's most likely because he is about a head taller than me, this time I am going to destroy him. He does seem a little off today, maybe he is getting sick?

"Okay, you guys are going to fight the same people as last time. So pair up." Cole yelled. I walked over to Raidon, who was already on the safety mat.

"Are you ready?" he asked me. I was even more than ready, I was psyched.

"Yep." I told him. This time I couldn't pounce on him like I did last time, I didn't need to. Raidon attacked first with a advance on my legs. He thought he could attack me by tackling my knees, but I jumped up at the last second and landed with both of my feet on the sides of his hips, I didn't want to land on him! It probably wouldn't hurt much anyway, since I weigh almost nothing. Raidon then reached behind him and grabbed my ankles. I fell forward, but landed on the palms of my hands. It stung a little bit.

Now, we were just stuck, I kicked my legs trying to get away from his grip. It worked, but he was on his stomach, so he couldn't get up as fast as me. So, I sat on his back, ending the fight.

"What's the matter with you?" I asked him while Dani and Gale were fighting.

"I feel a little sick. I want to feel better, but the nurse kinda freaks me out." he answered. So, he is sick.

"Well, I wish I would have known that before I kissed you." I teased.

"Now you're infected too!" he said. I made a fake damsel in distress faint. We both laughed. Gale won in between the fight of him and Dani. Then Astrid and Jade fought again, of course Astrid let Jade win. Next Conrad and Iris fought, Iris surprisingly won, It's probably because he let her win. So then Jade and Iris fought. They seemed like good competitors for each other, it took a while for Iris to win. Then Gale and I had to fight. He was a lot bigger than me, but he is also slower.

We got into fighting position. He seems like a good offence player, I usually am the defence in all of my fights I believe. Gale made the first move towards my head, trying to grip me into the position that made me lose against Raidon. I dodged it easily after discovering different techniques on the Internet. He seemed surprised, but got over it quickly and swung a punch at me. I ducked and punched him in the stomach. I may have done it a little too hard, he doubled over and coughed. I became filled with realization and immediately felt bad about hitting him.

Storm clouds started forming over our heads. It started to rain heavily inside and outside the school. The raindrops hit the metal roof, and pelted our all of our heads on the inside. Everyone screamed in surprise.

"Are you okay?" I asked him through the rain. He held up a hand that had the motion of "stop" to me and stood up straight he held up his hands in surrender. I started thinking that I might have done it too strongly. It was the first instinct that came to my mind, I didn't mean to. Then our watches all beeped so we moved through the next few classes soaking wet. I absolutely could not wait to get back to my room.

"Do you think I hit him too hard?" I asked Dani walking to our room drying the rest of my hair.

"Who?"

"Gale, when we were in combat class." I told her. I had felt guilty about it all day.

"No, if he was hurt he needs to build up his strength. The bad scientists aren't going to be careful. They won't care if any of us get a boo-boo." She told me bitterly.

She opened our door and we went to our closets to get dressed into our pj's and take a shower. I got out some of my shorts and a shirt, she did the same.

"Have you been in Section 7 during any of our training?" I asked her, thinking about the incident that day.

"No, what's that Section about?"

"Well, you have to dodge tennis balls on your ED," I told her.

"Why? I haven't been to Section 7." she admitted confused.

"Something weird happened today, the recording staff member asked me if I was in there before. I told him I hadn't, he acted really weird and talked to Cole after that. What do you think I did wrong?" I explained to her.

"I bet you didn't do anything wrong. You probably were better than expected. Just ask Cole about it, but not during class." she reassured me.

"I'll take your advice, tomorrow i'm going to ask him." I said walking into my bathroom to take a shower. She was being unusually quiet, that was making me nervous on top of being taught other things than what I am supposed to.
