I blush. Cassandra must think I'm a slob now. I push the cake away and wipe my mouth with a napkin. "Uh, well, thanks for the cake, Zeke... I want to go check out the rest of the Pit,so I-" Cassandra cuts me off. "Where's Lauren?" Zeke cuts off a piece of the cake I left.

"She wanted to talk to Rachel about initiation." Cassandra looks disappointed. "Oh." I start to back away, but Zeke says, "By the way, Matt, Lauren and I were wondering if you and Cassandra wanted to go out on a group date tomorrow. To celebrate not dying in the first few minutes of initiation."

I don't know what to say. "Me and Cassandra? But... But don't we have training tomorrow? I don't think-" Before I can finish talking, Cassandra cuts me off. Again. It's getting annoying. "It sounds fun. Besides, the instructor said we get time off in the afternoons."

Zeke looks at me. "So it's set then? You in?" I fight the urge to roll my eyes. "Yeah. Sure. See you later." I hurry away before they suggest something else.
