Flossie Wright glanced out of the corner of her eye and could still see Becca Reyes's lingering gaze.
Embarrassment ensued.
"Flossie Wright!"
Suddenly, she heard Ella Pemberton shout.
"Present!"
Instinctively, Flossie Wright took a step forward.
"You've been absent for the past three days, so I'll repeat the morning training for you," Ella Pemberton paced over to her and looked at her seriously. "Ten kilometers of cross-country. You've done mud prone training during the new recruit selection exercises, with a length of one kilometer, back and forth three times."
After a slight pause, Ella Pemberton raised her voice, "Did you get that?!"
"Understood!"
Standing tall, Flossie Wright responded decisively.
