Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: Team SALT

Sky sighed "Please excuse my team mates sometimes I wonder about them" "It's alright my team members are just as eccentric as yours" Alan said shaking a hand as he pointed to Mitch who was busy eating to even bother talking while Ania was staring off into the distance not eager to talk either.

"Hey guys can't you make an effort to get to know Sky and her team" Tom out of everyone said as Mitch looked up "Excuse me did you just place Alan's mind in Tom's body?" Ania nudged him and leaned over "It's because he likes Sky and wants us to get to know her" "Ohhh I see, well I guess if its for that then I'll make an effort". "What's up with her though" Mitch pointed to Tessa sitting quietly in the corner. "She's just incredibly shy so far the only people she talks to is our team mates and even then it's only a few words".

"Hey there my name is Alan" placing his hand out Tessa just sat there staring at the table as Alan awkwardly stood there with his hand out waiting for to give in a respond. "I suggest she responds because he'll sit there waiting forever" "She'll sit there forever as well" "Great it's a never ending sit off" Mitch groaned as he walked over sliding next to her and placing his face directly in front of hers "Yo mind introducing yourself to my friend so he'll sit back down".

Upon seeing Mitch's face practically touching hers Tessa's face went bright red as she lunged forward head butting Mitch and then jumping up tripping over her chair and causing Alan to topple over as well. "OWW WHAT THE HELL!" Mitch yelled clutching his nose as Tessa slowly stood up face as red as anything staring at Mitch for a second and then ran off. "That was weird…" he said sitting down as Alan lay on the ground his hand still out stretched awaiting that hand shake that would never arrive.

"That was weird I've never seen her so animated before" Sky said watching Tessa race out the door as Mitch sat down "I'd swear she was a mute" . "I'd say she is just uncomfortable speaking around people she doesn't fully well know as for her reaction it seems that the fact Mitch was in her personal space so quickly shocked her and as a result emitted that response from her" Tom finishing his technical rant left everyone at the table to stare at him "Nerd…" Mitch and Ania both grumbled while Sky seemed to have an awestruck face at how knowledgeable he was in certain things.

"I'd say it just looks like she might have a crush on Mitch" Ania mentioned as everyone looked at her "What makes you think that" "Well for one she didn't react when Alan was near her trying to shake but the second she saw Mitch she went bright red and acted like a crazy person". "Still don't see it" Tom said as Ania sighed "All you boys are clueless" "Hold up people actually could like?" Mitch mentioned "Just because you're an unobservant idiot and don't care doesn't mean girls around here don't notice you, the same goes for you" she pointed to Tom as Sky upon hearing this glared around the room trying to spot any girls potentially staring at him.

"Anyway as much as I love that interesting insight I'm heading back to the dorm" Mitch leapt up "Always interesting to learn more about you Sky and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of you" he winked before walking off as Tom was oblivious behind the hidden meaning but Sky knew full well what he meant.

As he stepped out into the hallway Tessa appeared from no where and stood directly in front of him looking at the ground while her foot nervously scraped the ground. "Ummm I'm sorry about before…" she said as Mitch nearly toppled over "It speaks" he sarcastically said before he saw how nervous she was and sighed "Hey don't worry about it I've suffered worse blows before" he placed a hand on her shoulder and walked off not noticing that Tessa practically collapsed after he removed his hand.

"I think it's time we went back to the dorm as well" both Ania and Alan stood up deciding to get some studying done as Tom went to stand but Alan pushed him back down "No I think you should stay for a bit longer since you already have completed most of the homework". Oblivious as per usual to what he was implying Tom objected "But why wait till later when I could get the work done now" "I insist Tom stay here it seems Sky hasn't finished eating and perhaps could use company" he pointed to her sitting there awkwardly staring at her food.

Leaning in Ania hissed in his ear "Baka stay here and get to know her that's part of my homework" "Ohhh I see this is a test from you Ania I have to get to know Sky more personally without other people around and that'll help me learn more about women I get you". "Honestly if he manages to land that girl I will wonder what God made that happen" Ania said to Alan as they both walked off leaving Tom to sit back down as Sky seemed to perk up seeing that they were left alone together.
