Why this must be read:
This is a really lovely look at Sam and Cam during their academy days, and how their friendship started. Excellent characterization, and really great insights into both characters.
Sam hesitates a minute. This isn’t who she wants to be.
“Mitchell,” she says and he stops, turns back to look at her, curious. “When we met, when I came in as a favor to Kelli, did you already understand the underlying theory?”
Sam can watch him put it together in his head. He looks kind of worn around the edges too; all of the cadets do.
“Wait, you thought I was... what? Trying to waste your time? Show you up? You don’t even know me.”
She tries to smile, but thinks that it probably looks more like a grimace. “You wouldn’t be the first.”
“So what, you just assume that anyone who shows even a little bit of intelligence is some kind of threat?”
It would be so easy to snap right back, but arguing out where anyone can see really isn’t appropriate behavior and she knows now, she knows that they’re both exhausted and not at their best.
Sam reigns in her temper.
“Look, how about we start over,” she says. She shifts her things so that they’re all in one arm and holds out her right hand. “Samantha Carter. Nice to meet you.”
Mitchell takes her hand a little grudgingly, but he does it. “Cameron Mitchell.”
