Keepers & Throw Aways

Pepper- "Oh, shut up!" I said, teasing back, "And yes, you are always my guinie pig."

Cam
she smiled a bit and laid her head back as she laid down on the couch. "So...how's training going?" she asked

I walked in after Cam and Pepper and went up to my room and layed down on the bed.

Pepper- "Good, if you call sitting in a corner watching everybody else train 'good'. It really sucks, Cammie! They won't even let me practice self defense!"

Cam
she nodded a bit. "If you want to you can practice here. I'd be more then willing to help you."

"Hey Cam?" I called down from the steps. "Have you heard from Less?" I asked

Pepper- "How can I train without anybody knowing what I'm supposed to do?" I asked, completely confused.

Cam
"No, you could try callin. you got his number right? just remember he might be in classes." she said. Less was still at the academy training like Pepper was suposed to be.

"Well you dont need to know that to be able to defend yourself. you should at least know basics. maybe get thrown into a fight every now and then it's when we need them that the powers show what they can truely do." she smiled taking another sip

I sighed and went to my dresser and pulled out my cellphone. I dialed Less' number and smiled when he picked up. "Hey Less."

Less
he smiled hearing her voice "Hey, are you ok? I heard about the fight..i was guna call but i couldnt get away." he said,

Pepper- "I...know his number..." I said, blushing bright red, the crimson of my face clashing horribly with my hair.

Cam
"Pepper" she said slowly. "Do you have a crush?" she smirked

Pepper- "I--no!" I said, blushing brighter, my eyes wide.

(Don't worry, Tris still gets him if she wants, this is just to create some productive drama, for now, at least. I plan ahead. *Evil laugh*)

"Yea. I'm okay, Cam and Pepper are to." I said blushing alittle. "What time are you done with class? I was wondering maybe..we could...I don't know hang out. Maybe you could come over here and we can spar or something?"

Cam
"Pepper, lying is bad for the complection. especial when it makes you go all red." she said, grinning.

Less
he smiled a bit. he'd told her what he can do, but he didnt tell her controlling it was hard for him. "Uh.." he sounded hesatent. "I get out in 2 hours." he said. "I'd love to come over...but maybe we could find something else to do instead of practice." he said. He couldnt controll his flames cause he was scared of them he knew that, and he didnt want to hurt her.

Pepper- "I don't...no!" I gasped out at a loss for words, my eyes bigger than saucers, and I hugged the pillow to my face, trying to hide the visable blush. Even if she hadn't known, she would have know, since my ears were red, too.

"Umm okay. I'll be here. Maybe we can make something or watch Tv. I'll see you later." I said as I started to head down the steps

Less
"Ok, I'll see you soon." he said. "Their callin me. I'll call you when I'm on my way...bye." he said

Cam
"It's no use telling me no, when i can see that you do." she said

"Bye." I said as I walked into the living room and hung up. I looked at Pepper and smiled. "So who's the guy shes crushin on?" I asked laughing alittle.

Pepper- "Shut up!" she whined, near tears, now. "And don't you dare!"

Cam
she shrugged. "she never said his name, we got on the guys topic after you asked about Less. you know, girl talk, then she started totally blushing. but she wont say who." she said.

Less
-went back to class-

"Hmm.." I muttered and sat down. "Less said he's gonna come by after class." I said with smile.

Pepper- "He--okay," I said, fighting to keep normal.

Cam
"That's good. Are you guys guna practice or something? I'd like to see how far he's coming along with his fire." she said. she did find it strange that he never spared around here, and always wiggled his way out of a lesson and just watched, when he wasnt in classes.

Pepper- I looked at the clock and squeaked. Lessons would be over in five minutes, and God knows that its a two minute walk at the most from the Training Center to Cam's place.
