My dear little broccolis
So let's get back, and discover a short story that was written a long time ago. The chapters are short, but I know you will enjoy them a lot.
💚 Cadets 💚
Christian is what people call a problematic teenager. So his parents put him in a military school, specialised in reforming rebellious teenagers. He's been here for two years, and things are going fine ... Until the day, a new cadet arrives.

"Cadets!"
We all fall into line under Major Steele's voice and wait for him to enter the room. I can't wait to get out of this freaking school just in order to stop hearing his voice barking orders every two seconds of my life. It's like the guy was a dog in another life. You know, the really annoying kind of dog. The really small ones who always bark at you when you pass near them but who could fly with one well-placed foot.
Not that anyone would want to place a foot in Major Steele's ass. He's way too scary. He looks like John Coffey from The Green Mile, except that he's white, and he has hair. Really, really pale blond hair. He's like the negative photograph of John Coffey. Freaking scary, I'm telling you.
His brown eyes scan through the room, looking for something to bark at us for, and I repress myself from rolling my eyes and looking at the cadet in front of me. Jack smirks and winks at me, and so I smirk back. Even though Jack is the Major's son, he still ended up in here, in Hell with us. Officially, it is to bound with his father, officiously, it's because he's just as messed up as the rest of us. He never really told us what happened, all I know is that he arrived with an arm in a cast and a father really pissed at him.
It's funny how they look alike, and at the same time don't. I mean, physically they look exactly like one another, but Jack is just less intimidating. I guess it's because he's just 17, like most of us. When you see the two Steele's next to one another, it's like you're watching an original and its shrieked copy. But in character, they're the total opposite. I'm not saying that Jack is a troublemaker here, but he's certainly not the one who lives by the rules. I think he just knows where his father's limits are, and that he risks more than us if he reaches it.
The Major walks and stops in the middle of the lines like he always does when he's about to start one very long, boring and painful speech; and he says:
"Cadets. Today is the day we're welcoming a new recruit. I do not want to hear about unwanted 'welcoming parties' or any_"
"Can I come in, now?" Says a girl's voice with a British accent. A girl's voice. We all turn our heads toward the door and we see a little ball of curly chestnut hair staring at us with boredom in her blue eyes. She's the smallest thing I've seen in months, and the fact that she seems to be pressured down by her heavy bag swung over her shoulder is not helping. She's wearing shorts with combat boots and a tank top, which is completely inappropriate if you know that outside it's completely freezing.
"Cadets!" Major Steele barks, and we all snap our heads back into position.
Wait? Is she the new cadet? Don't they know that it's a boys' military school? What's wrong with those people?
"I told the cadet Rodriguez to show you to your room before taking you here." The Major points out, obviously not happy with the girl's intervention.
"Oh yeah, the little wuss." She says with a small grimace, scratching her wild hair. "I lost him. He was kind of annoying, babbling about the beauty of golfing." Some of us smile a little because we all know how Jose can be when it comes to golf. The girl rolls her eyes as she says: "Whatever."
"You will go back to your quarters and change into more suitable clothing." Major Steele commands, and the girl smirks even wider.
"But that's the thing. As long as I don't wear that stupid uniform, I'm not a cadet, yet."
Strangely, Jack's eyes are glued to the girl instead of being in front of him. I see from the corner of my eyes the girl walking the same path that the Major just did, and when she walks past Jack, I see that she winks at him before she keeps on walking toward the Major who became red with anger. Actually, I can see a little shade of purple growing on his famous forehead vein, and I have to say: I'm impressed. It took me two months to see that vein, it took her two minutes.
"Anything you'd like to say, Major?"
"I will not tolerate insubordination because of where you come from, young missy. I will break you and make you worthy of society again."
The girl smirks and shrugs before she turns her heels on the Major and walks back to her bag. "Whatever. I'll find back dorky and put on your bloody uniform."
I bite my lips to repress a snicker before the Major's eyes fall back on us, and it's like he's about to kill the first one who blinks.
"So, as I said, we have a new recruit. I will not tolerate that you treat her any differently because she is a girl. She is a cadet, like the rest of you. Understood?"
"Yes, sir!" We chant, and I wonder if the Major also means that we can prank her as any of the other cadets. I mean, pranking is the only thing fun we have here.
"If I hear that any of you attempted something inappropriate on her, I will personally make his life a living Hell, and the whole company would have to suffer through it. Understood?"
"Yes, sir!" We chant again, and I roll my eyes. Who's stupid enough to try something on a girl in a boys' military school? If she screams, half the county will be here to help her lick her wound. Girls are so annoyingly precious, sometimes.
"Cadet Steele?" Jack steps one step forward, his hands still behind his back and his head high as he waits for his father's words. "You are in charge of the new cadet. If she does anything, the responsibility will fall on you."
Jack seems obfuscated, and he's about to say something when his father curtly cut him off: "Understood?"
"Yes, sir!" He says, even though everything in his posture screams that he's not agreeing with that.
"At ease." Major Steele finally says, and we can finally relax.
The Major leaves, and as soon as the door is closed, there's a clutter exploding in the room. Of course, it's all about the new recruit, and the fact that it's a girl. Really? What were they thinking? Jack, on the other hand, doesn't seem so happy about his new mission. I kind of get him, it's never easy to be a newbie's babysitter. Especially when they seem as rebellious as the little brunette. And Jack kind of had it easy on this one, he never had to take care of a newbie. I was lucky because the Major never trusted me with anyone. Until Jack came along and I was his assigned babysitter. I like to think that the Major knew that his son wouldn't cause trouble, so he put me with his case to be sure that I'd officially been once a babysitter.
I walk to Jack and bump my shoulder to him as I cheer him up, showing the bright side of this babysitting: "Smile. You'll get to spend time with an actual girl, dude."
Jack darkly chuckles as he mumbles: "Awesome. I should go look for her before she sets fire to the school or something."
