Hitting Things 101- Tuesday- 4th period

[solo_sword]

The class was in the gym today, with mats set down on the floor. Regular mats, no sign of sumo anything.

"So after last week, I figure I'll give you something no one will find silly, or roll their eyes at," Jaina began. Though last week had been great for her. It was just too bad she didn't tape it. "This week you're going to be hitting each other. I want you guys to pair up and do some sparring. If it makes you more comfortable, there's padding in the lockers back there, and if anyone needs help, just let me know."

See, Jaina could be nice to you sometimes.

Cade would love to hit you. Really. Any of you.

If Jessica didn't look terribly into hitting people today, that would be because she wasn't, and that was a very astute observation by you.

But still, she was ready to participate if anyone made her.

"You don't look terribly into hitting people today," Cade observed.

Astutely.

"I don't really feel like it either," Jessica said. "So at least I'm being consistent."

"Home didn't go too well?" Cade guessed.

"Well, I'm only here because I escaped federal custody. And that's the good news," Jessica said. "The bad news is way worse."

Cade winced. "Way worse?"

"Closing in on half a million dead," Jessica said. "That kind of worse."

Cade was a heartless dick, but no one was that heartless. "Echuta," he cursed softly. "The robots?"

"That's a small part of it," Jessica said. "Then something of a cold war heated up. My America hit the other guys. They hit back a lot harder."

"I really don't want to get into specifics right now," Jessica said, mainly because she was standing roughly an hour away and one dimension over from where it happened. "But it's not good."

Cade wasn't about to push it--he hated how Ender was pushing him to share and whatever.

"Drinks on Friday?" he suggested, since he was all about healthy coping.

"That works for me. I definitely need a few drinks," Jessica said.
