Waking up at six in the morning was horrible! We had to leave our warm beds and stand outside in the freezing cold while waiting to get into the bath house at the crack of dawn. Honestly, I wish I had taken one after dinner, but I was too tired last night to do it. Now, I was regretting it. By the time I got into the bath house it was already 6:20, and I was probably going to be late for the second day of training. Letting out a sigh, I walked into the girl's bath house and took a quick shower, but even though I showered quickly, I was still late. When I arrived at the training grounds, Keith Shadis wasn't happy, not at all.
"Cadet Ross, why are you late?!" Shadis yelled in my face, and I answered right away.
"The line to the girl's bath house was long, and I made it in at 6:20. I apologize sir," I said, and Shadis shook his head.
"Since you are late, you will be running fifty laps before you begin you're 3D maneuvering gear training. Now get to it!" Shadis said loudly, and I nodded.
"Yes, sir!" I said, and began running around the training grounds.
By the fifteenth lap, my legs felt like they were on fire, and I felt like I was going to collapse at any moment. While running my sixteenth lap, I saw the shadow of someone running behind me. Turning my head to see who it was, I found myself face to face with Jean.
"Oh, great, what do you want?" I asked, panting, and Jean only smirked.
"Making sure that you don't fall over and embarrass yourself even more! Besides, I've already finished the first part of training, so I thought I'd take a nice jog with you," he replied, and I glared at him.
"Get lost, Jean, I'm not going to fall over! If I do, Shadis will make run fifty more! Now go away, horse-face!" I huffed, and kept running.
By the time I had finished my laps, everyone else had started on the second part of training, well except for Eren Jaeger. The tan boy with turquoise eyes and brown hair was having trouble with the 3D maneuvering gear, but for me, it wasn't as hard as I thought. At first I had a little bit of trouble, but after two or three tries, I had gotten the hang of it. Using the 3D maneuvering gear made me feel like a bird who was flying through the trees. For the first time in a while, I felt free.
After moving around the forest with our new gear, we moved onto the next stage. Sadly, it wasn't practicing slicing through a titan's nape, no, it was hand to hand combat. If you think that's bad, well guess what, it gets worse. Shadis had decided to put me with Reiner Braun, who was twice my size. I knew that this wasn't going to end well.
Reiner and I got into position with our hands up in front of our faces.
"Don't worry, Sadie, I'll go easy on you," Reiner said, and I rolled my eyes.
"Sure, I am about to be crushed by a boy who is made of muscle!" I said, and he laughed, but then became serious.
For a few seconds, we stood there in our position, eyes locked on one another. Since this was going nowhere, I decided to make the first move. I quickly moved forward and threw a punch at his jaw, but Reiner grabbed my wrist and twisted it behind my back. Even though it hurt just a bit, I fought back. I tried wiggling free, but he wouldn't let me go.
After a few seconds of thrashing around, I decided to stop and think about the situation I was in. I couldn't pry his arms off of me, but I could probably knock him down.
"Hey, Sadie, are you giving up so soon?" Reiner asked, and I smirked.
"You wish," I replied, and swung my right leg at his feet, hoping that I would be able to knock him over.
Thankfully, my idea worked, and we both fell to the dusty ground. Before he could get up, I quickly sat on him and smiled.
"Looks like I win, Braun, better luck next time!" I said, and he smirked.
"This isn't over yet, Sadie," Reiner replied.
Before I realized what was happening, Reiner had flipped me over and was sitting on my back.
"You let your guard down, that was a bad move," he said, and I groaned.
"Yea, I guess I did. Hey, can you get off of me, your crushing my ribs!" I said, and Reiner stood up.
He held his hand out for me, and I took it and pulled myself up.
"Other than that, you did pretty well, just keep practicing. Anyways, I'll see you at dinner," Reiner said, and I nodded in reply.
Once he had left, I decided to head back towards the cabin to get ready for dinner. I honestly wanted to take a nap because I was so tired and sweaty. When I arrived at the cabin, I noticed that nobody else was there, and walked over to my bunk. I pulled off my uniform that was covered with sweat and dirt, and then dressed myself in more comfortable clothes. Once I was fully dressed, I left the cabin and went to the dining hall.
-Time Skip-
At dinner, I sat with Reiner, Annie, and Bertholdt, and we talked about our second day of training. While Annie was talking about how she beat the crap out of a boy named Thomas Wagner, she was interrupted by the screams of Jean and Eren. I looked over and saw that the two of them were arguing and fighting again, and I groaned in annoyance. Why did Jean always want to argue with Eren? There were plenty of other people to argue with.
I stood up, ready to walk over and drag Jean off of Eren, but thankfully, Mikasa was already taking care of it. I sat down next to Annie, and continued eating my food. After dinner, I decided to go ahead and take a quick shower. I know I took one this morning and all, but my hair is absolutely disgusting. Plus, I don't want to run fifty more laps tomorrow. Before going to the bath house, I grabbed my clothes, a wash cloth, and a towel. I then went to the girl's bath house to wash my filthy hair.
Once I was there, I walked in and cleaned myself up. When I had washed all of the sweat and dirt out of my brown hair, I climbed out of the bath and grabbed my towel. I walked over to the counter, but stopped when I didn't see my clothes anywhere.
"Where did my clothes go?" I said to myself, and began looking around.
I searched all over the bath house, but I didn't find my clothing anywhere. Letting out a sigh, I pulled my towel close to my body and walked out of the bath house. Hoping that no one was around, I began walking towards the cabin, but someone stopped me.
"Sadie, where are your clothes?" the voice said, and I quickly turned around and groaned.
"Oh, hello Jean, you didn't steal my cloths, did you?" I asked, and he shook his head.
"No, I didn't," He replied, and I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Really, you seem like a person who would do that," I said, and Jean shook his head.
"I would do that, but not to a girl. Here, take this," he said, handing me his green button up shirt, and I stared at it.
"Thank you," I said, and he smiled.
"You're welcome," Jean replied, and walked away, leaving me behind.
Before returning back to the cabin, I changed into Jean's shirt. It was so soft, warm, and very comfortable. When I arrived at the cabin, I quietly made my way over to my bed, doing my best not to make any loud noises. Once I arrived at my bunk, I crawled under my warm blankets. Since I was so tired, I fell asleep right away, but before I closed my eyes, I swore that I saw my cloths shoved under Annie's bed.
