Squad Leader

After Michael wasted some time by arguing with our survival instructor about one of his teammates — which happened to be me — we were finally given ten minutes to regroup with our Squad members and strategize.

Right now, Michael and Lily were standing in front of me.

Juliana had left my side to join her own Squad. 

Our other two teammates, Alexia and Kang, were still nowhere to be seen. 

So the tension around our little group was palpable. 

Michael looked like he was barely restraining himself from blowing up again.

Lily, on the other hand, seemed like she wanted to say something but didn't know what.

As for me, I couldn't be bothered. I was casually inspecting my nails while ignoring those two.

Luckily, before the anxious silence between the three of us could get any more awkward, Alexia finally arrived.
