Hey! Cheer me up please. I feel sad.
*I am supposed to be studying, and I absolutely suck at cheering people up. I swear I am much better at bringing people down. Off the top of my head here.*
Finally.
The days is over. After 7 hours of non-stop rifle drills, Gail's exhausted. At the end of the final dismissal for the evening, she's quite prepared to lie down and never get up ever. Till tomorrow - till she has to do it all over again. She's chugging down a bottle of water when she spot's Holly out of the corner of her eye. They had been dating for a while, and this was the first time Holly ever came to see her at the Training Academy.
She's immediately trying to be lively again, though her muscles are absolutely killing her. Holly comes over and shows a little interest in the area, and she decides its a nice time to show her girlfriend around the place. The two you are walking around, arm in arm. Her uniform is thoroughly soaked in sweat, and she probably does stink, Holly had handed her a stick of gum a little earlier, and she's chewing out in, trying to bite out the pain.
Just as the two of them are passing the Officer's Quarters, her senior officer catches sight of her and she knows she's done for. The senior officer is this big, surly jerk-face, who was now pulling rank on her for everything.
Holly's immediately stunned and stops as this Officer rushes over to the two of them, and Gail immediately steps forward, bracing herself for what ass face was going to do now.
'Officer, what do you think you're doing here after dismissal?'
Gail can't really say anything, being the one of the trainees who aren't allowed to talk at all, not to their seniors. She's just wishing the jerk-face lets her go with a rap.
Of course he doesn't. He's yelling out how idiotic she is, and so forth, and commands her to do 25 push-ups on the spot. Gail's groaning at that, not after that long parade. Not in front of my girl friend. She doesn't have much choice either.
She barely makes it through ten before falling flat on the ground, and she can hear Holly letting out a short laugh.
'Come on Officer, your girlfriend's laughing at you.'
Gail looks up and eyes the officer with such disgust that he gives up and lets her off the hook, provided she arrived half-hour early for drills tomorrow. She gets up and eyes Holly with a frown, who starts soothing her burnt ego.
