"Take ten minutes to rest, then stand at attention for half an hour," Jason ordered.
Cynthia sank to her knees, her face as pale as a ghost. She'd never been the athletic type, and now, on an empty stomach, she was dangerously close to passing out.
"I'm so hungry, I think I'm gonna die right here," Cynthia whispered weakly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You had your chance to eat!" Eilies snapped.
Flora glanced at Cynthia, her brow furrowing. She stood and walked over to Jason.
"Got any chocolate?" she asked quietly.
Since arriving at the camp, all their snacks had been confiscated. Even the candy Cynthia had hidden in her pants pocket had been found and tossed by the drill instructor.
"Huh?"
Jason scratched his head. As a grown man, he didn't carry that sort of thing.
"Miss Flora, give me a moment," he said in a low voice before running off.
He returned with a few chocolate bars stuffed in his pocket. Making sure no one was looking, he discreetly handed them to Flora.
Everyone was too exhausted to notice.
Flora went over to Cynthia and slipped the chocolate into her pocket.
"Flora, where did you get chocolate?" Cynthia's eyes lit up. Flora was amazing at hiding things!
"Just eat it," Flora said softly, then walked away to sit down.
Jillian observed the exchange, her eyes narrowing. She sidled up to Jason and whispered, "Instructor, it looks like Miss Flora has hidden some chocolate."
Hoarding snacks was a big no-no at camp, and getting caught would surely mean a deduction of points.
Jason frowned, glancing at Jillian. Despite her delicate appearance, she seemed to love tattling.
