MEETING MYRA

Ashley returned to her room after her training session and was taken by surprise to find that her previously absent roommate had finally arrived. She couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed, as her roommate's absence had meant that she had the room to herself and was exempt from chores.

However, the arrival of her roommate meant that they would now share responsibilities. The chore assigned to their room was dishwashing, but since her roommate was just arriving, Ashley was temporarily exempt until she settled in.

Two weeks had passed since their arrival at the new facility, and Ashley had grown accustomed to the relative freedom she had enjoyed. Her days were primarily focused on training, with little to no responsibilities beyond that. However, that was about to change with the arrival of her roommate.

"Hi, I'm Ashley. Ashley Queen," she introduced herself, extending her hand to shake her hand.

The room fell into silence afterward. Ashley, attempting to be a good host, suggested, "I just got back from training, so I'm going to take a shower. After that, I can show you to the cafeteria."

Myra nodded in agreement and took a seat on the bed, allowing Ashley some privacy as she gathered her bath essentials and headed for the shower.

After her shower, Ashley led Myra to the cafeteria, asking if she had her ID card. The ID cards were given to all the evolved people in the base. Myra produced the card from her pocket, and Ashley confirmed that it was indeed what she was referring to.

Ashley gave Myra some instructions, pointing to the lunch lady and stating, "Just take it to the lunch lady, and she'll get you sorted out."

Myra acknowledged her instructions and followed Ashley's lead. Ashley pointed to a specific table and said, "That's where I sit, so join me there after you get your meal."

As Ashley went to her usual spot, Josh was waiting for her, having already picked up her meal, a routine he had maintained since their arrival. He pushed the tray toward her, and she immediately began eating.

Josh noticed her exhaustion and commented, "You look tired."

Ashley nodded, acknowledging her fatigue. "Yeah, I pushed myself a little too hard during training today. Oh, and my roommate came in today."

Josh raised an eyebrow and teased her. "So that means you're finally going to do your chores?"

Ashley glared at him, and Josh laughed at her reaction. However, their conversation was interrupted by a voice. Ashley turned to find her roommate, Myra, had joined them.

Ashley kindly invited Myra to take a seat, and the introduction took place. "This is Joshua. Josh, this is my roommate, Myra."

Myra offered a polite greeting. "Nice to meet you."

Josh acknowledged the introduction with a simple nod. Sensing Myra's nervousness, Ashley gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder and encouraged her to relax.

Myra smiled and uncovered her meal, which prompted an enthusiastic response from Ashley. "Is that a steak?" she asked in surprise.

Ashley and Josh couldn't help but watch in surprise as Myra began to enjoy her steak. The contrast in their dietary choices was clear, and Myra, sensing their stares, kindly offered, "Do you want some?"

Ashley politely declined, explaining, "I don't eat meat. I'm vegan."

Josh added his own perspective, saying, "I try to avoid eating meat."

Myra smiled and continued savoring her meal. However, Ashley couldn't help but inquire further, "Are you the general's daughter or something?"

Myra shook her head. "What's with the preferential treatment then?" Ashley pressed.

Myra paused and explained, "I tend to lose interest in food sometimes, so I have to get creative with my meals."

Ashley and Josh exchanged confused glances, and Myra clarified, "I don't like eating."

"Well, I'm vegan, but when I bring it up, I'm told to eat it because I'm not allergic to meat," Ashley said.

Ashley's statement nearly made Myra choke on her food.

"Careful." a concerned unexpected visitor said. Dylan and Thomas joined their table.

"Hi." Thomas greeted.

Ashley, however, didn't seem too thrilled by their presence, choosing to look away in distaste.

"Hey, I'm Dylan. We met earlier" Dylan introduced.

"Myra Asare," Myra responded.

"I'm Thomas," Thomas said.

"Nice to meet you," Myra said.

Dylan, always the provocateur, quickly deduced that she and Ashley were roommates and offered his condolences. He suggested, "I'll speak with the general and have you moved to a better room."

Before Myra could respond, Ashley interjected with a firm statement. "She's quite comfortable, thank you."

Dylan and Ashley continued to banter back and forth, leaving Myra somewhat bewildered. She asked, "What's going on?"

Josh offered a simple explanation, saying, "That's how they are."

Myra watched with amusement as Dylan and Ashley continued to argue. They were so engrossed in their banter that she had managed to finish her meal, and yet the two were still going at it. Dylan suddenly turned to Myra and offered his unsolicited opinion, "You shouldn't even room with her. She'll create rumors about you the moment she's mad at you."

Feeling the need to defend herself, Ashley shot back, "He's lying."

"She told people that I had HIV." Dylan accused.

Myra gasped and turned to Ashley in shock, while Josh appeared slightly surprised. Myra questioned, "Is it true, though?"

Both Thomas and Dylan responded in unison, "No!"

Ashley argued back, "Oh, please. You probably had some other STD."

Ashley countered by saying, "She told people I'm a teenage mom."

Myra shrugged, finding this revelation not too scandalous.

Ashley, however, scowled and revealed another accusation. "He said I'm a porn star. He even sent a link to 'my videos'."

Myra gasped again, her eyes wide, as she stared at Dylan in disbelief. She couldn't help but ask, "Was there really a video?"

Ashley confirmed, "Yeah, of some girl that looks like me."

Dylan countered, "Yeah, well, she told people I'm a pimp."

Ashley came back with another accusation, "And he told people I'm a 'pick me' girl."

Dylan then claimed, "And she told people my dick is two inches."

Myra was utterly confused by this point and had to ask, "Huh?" She wanted to know how Ashley would know his dick size.

Ashley said in a nonchalant tone, "He told people that I got implants."

Myra examined Ashley and, with a curious nod, asked Dylan, "Front or back?"

Without much enthusiasm, Dylan responded, "Front."

Myra nodded in understanding, "Makes sense."

Ashley was well-endowed on both sides. Her body was simply unreal. 

With the accusations finally out in the open, Josh intervened, attempting to stop the argument. "Don't you have chores to do?"

The two adversaries exchanged glares before looking away. Ashley seized the opportunity to pull Myra away to the kitchen. Myra waved goodbye to the guys as they left.
