I walked into the mess hall with Kadita on my arm, but she broke away before anyone noticed us. It wasn't needed, but I understood why. Regardless of that, my attention was turned to the situation in front of me.
"HEY!"
Carly froze mid-swing at Alexander, while Tsu sat quietly eating, but now smiling. I was momentarily distracted by Tsu's smile and just narrowly dodged the same tray that was aimed at Alex before my attention had slipped, god I was stupid.
"GRAH! AHHH, you men are all the same! Like a bunch of squirrels when there is more than one pretty smile to look at!"
Carly was balling her fists and she started to stalk towards me. I had a moment when I really thought I was going to get one right in the kisser, but she grabbed my arm roughly and dragged me out the door. I could hear Mom laugh softly before I heard her speak.
