CH22 Stranger

I noisily stand up from my chair and it rolls, loudly smashing into the wall behind me.

Vi looks at me in surprise. "Where you going?"

"Taking a shit,"

I walk to the cafeteria with Vi still tailing and 'looking after me if I ever try to escape'.

As soon as I entered, a bunch of murmurs from those situated there as well surround the area.

"There comes the freak who fell in love with an alien,"

"She's pathetic"

"I lost my appetite just from seeing her,"

"She was so full of herself when in fact, she does a shit job,"

Yup. My ass is getting bullied. It has been occurring since I was brought back here. It's fine, though. That's only to be expected after what I pulled.

Suddenly, Vi's voice brings me back to reality and the murmurs that was turning to yelling became unheard again. "We're in the cafeteria. You said you were gonna take a shit. Bathroom's the other way, Y/N"

"I was being sarcastic, moron" I finally speak, walking to the food buffet trays.

I grabbed a toasted bread, sausages, and some Caesar salad and brought it to the table we now sit on.

"You not hungry?" I ask Vi who sat in front of me and was just looking around as I ate my food. Short conversations are good sometimes because it gets real boring.

"Nope," She replies, now looking deep in thought.

"What's up?" I ask her, trying to strike up a conversation.

"I want to know how to use a bow. It's the only thing Zade does better than me. I'd like to prove to Quaritch that I can lead the army better than that conceited fucker,"

"I know how," I reply.

"What? No you don't. We never tried to learn archery,"

"Neteyam taught me, the Na'vi way,"

Vi nods at my statement, thinking of something again before speaking. "Can you teach me? The Na'vi hold is alright,"

___

And that's how we got ourselves in the training quarter, with me teaching Vi how to use a bow and arrow.

It's been approximately an hour now and my stress levels have become murderously high. But it's fine. Atleast I now know to not involve myself in anything teaching related from now on.

"There are no arrows left. Every single one had miraculously drifted off to wonderland with your stupid ass using it," I scold Vi who was just lightly smiling at me.

"I'll get some more, you can stay and practice your form. I won't take long," I tell her and she hesitantly nods at this, not wanting to leave me alone since she was supposed to guard me at all times, though she approved anyway.

I go to the center of hell's gate which was just right beside where the training quarter to get more arrows. The center is not as big as you think it would be. It's large enough that anyone who enters can be noticed.

I immediately got the arrows I needed but before I could turn to go back, an unknown voice calls me.

Probably some soldier here.
