What do you mean
Jim made his way out of the water. That wasn’t so good at that,” he remarked, as he gained the bank. Then he came face to face with Rowen.
Think you’re pretty smart, don’t you, Mercer?” hissed the cadet ultra former hifu.

Jim looked surprised. Why, no, not especially. Not after that dive, anyway. What do you mean, Dick?”
Don’t call me Dick!” snapped Rowen. I’m only Dick to my friends, and that doesn’t include you. I said you think you’re funny because you ridiculed me in that dive!”
Oh, don’t be silly!” retorted Jim. I had no intention of imitating you, Rowen. My foot honestly slipped, that’s all.”
I don’t believe you, Mercer,” said Rowen, at a white heat.
There was a moment’s pause and the gathered cadets looked on with interest. Jim’s jaw had set and he thought a moment before replying.
Listen, Rowen,” he said, when he had gained sufficient control of himself. I want you to understand one thing. I only joke with a man who is enough of a man to take a joke. If I were picking out anyone to have some fun with I wouldn’t pick a sorehead like you. As for my not being a friend of yours, Rowen, that is your own fault.”
Fault!” shrilled Rowen, trembling. Jeepers! Do you think I care that you aren’t my friend omega 3
?”
Whatever you like,” nodded Jim, and turned away. Unheeding the statement that some fellows made him sick” Jim went back into the water, to enjoy himself and forget Rowen.

That evening the cadets remained up until taps, which came at nine-thirty. A number of fires formed convenient places for them to gather and chat. Just before taps the three friends went to their tents.
I didn’t notice Rowen around tonight,” remarked Don, as they began to prepare for bed School staff figures
.
Might have been sulking in his tent,” grinned Terry. Now, the only thing that remains is for him to pick a fight with you, Don!”
I don’t know if I could be as patient as you two have been,” mused Don. I think I should be tempted to punch his nose for him!”
Don’t worry,” smiled Jim, we were tempted, all right!”
Who took my bayonet?” questioned Terry, suddenly.
