Aziza was about to slow down when she someone said "Don't even try that". Said the red headed boy at the back of her.
"I am going to faint if I don't get some rest". Aziza said as she almost stumbled.
"God, you're so weak. You can't even run for this long, why did you even come to the military Academy". The boy beside her said.
'Why did I even come here? Ahh, I can't do this again". Aziza said panting, trying to catch her breath.
'Now I remember, they killed my mother and left me to fend for myself, But I could have always said no. I didn't have a choice, or did I? this has always been my dream, to go to the army and make mama proud, how could I forget that". Aziza thought. She turned to the boy beside her and scanned him from top to bottom and spoke. "I can tell you had a choice to either come here or stay back at your little mansion and relax, but I don't have that choice. My mother died not too long ago, and this is my only hope of survival. Yes, growing up I always wanted to come here but not for that reason. Did I answer the question why I came here" Aziza said. The boy just kept quit and looked forward. Aziza just took a deep breath and continued jogging. Some people gave up on the way but she was able to make it to the end.
Aziza went flat on the floor and began panting, when the boy from before stretched out his hand to help her up. Aziza looked up and spoke. "What do you want"
"I never really expected you to make it till the end". The boy said as he was retracting his hand.
"What is your name" Aziza said.
"Why do you want to know". The boy said with a smug face.
"Don't get any funny idea. We are going to be together for the next ten years, so it won't hurt knowing your name". Aziza said.
"My name is Aaron, what's your name".
"Aziza, my name is Aziza".
"Aziza kind of rings a bell" Aaron leaned in closer and continued. "Wait your that new girl that resumed late, Your actually pretty. Those covers don't just suit you".
Aziza blushed a little and spoke. "Umm, thank you, but can you help me up".
"Sure" he said and helped her up. Aziza got time to actually look at him. He had blond hair and green eyes just like her. He was light skinned and had a certain charm to him. he was kind of chubby but the cute chubby.
"How old are you". Aziza asked.
"I am nine, you?". Aaron said.
"Umm, seven". Aziza said.
"So, you're like my little sister and I am going to protect you". Aaron said. The red headed guy from before came and stood right beside Aaron and spoke. "What are you feeling like? A big shot just because you got some seven-year-old girl blushing for you". The boy said.
"Eric, what's your problem".
"Nothing" Eric replied. Aziza touched her face and realized it was as red as a tomato and she spoke. "Excuse me I have to go". Without waiting for an answer, she took off to find Dean.
"Why is your face so red? Don't tell me you have finally found the love of your life" Dean said with a smug face.
"Off course not. I am not just use to all this sweet talk". Aziza said.
"So, it is actually because of a boy". Dean said shocked. Aziza put her hand on Dean mouth and spoke. "Shush, the sergeant is here".
"Attention you all, gather around". The sergeant said. All the students gathered around in an orderly line waiting on his next command.
"Normally we are all supposed to continue with the usuals which are sit-ups, squats and others but it cannot be possible because something came up". The sergeant said. All of them looked like a great burden has been lifted of their chest, but none of them dared to show it in fear that he will take back his word.
"You are all dismissed". Immediately they all ran towards their rooms
"Today has just begone and I already feel like giving up". Aziza said looking up at the rising sun. Dean put her hand on her shoulder and spoke. "Don't worry it will all be fine".
"Thanks, I really needed that".
"No problem, what are friends for, but we really need a way to get you a uniform I will be needing my uniform because I am not planning on washing anytime soon". Dean said.
"Dean you're such a slob". Aziza said with a smile.
"Ouch, but I already know no need to tell me. I forgot I have not cleaned my corner". Dean said and turned to Aziza. "Last one to reach the room cleans it". And she began running
"Dean that's so not fair. Dean come back here". Aziza said and began running after Dean.
