The two of you were just kids when you were both brought into the Spartan program against your wills. Both o you were 6,kidnapped in the middle of the night, a young enough age that you wouldn't remember your life before being brought into the program.
The two of you practically grew up with one another, both of you were to much alike the other, Dr. Halsey had even jokingly told you both that you were twins, which was somewhat true, you both though of each other as your sibling.
Now you two are both 16, doing your homework provided by the workers in the program. As much as they wanted to turn you into killing machines, they had to at least give you basic math and how to write and speak english, and the history of the Spartan program, but nothing else really mattered.
You both sat at a table together in the mess Hall with your homework, older Spartans sitting at other tables around you two. the ship was mostly actual Spartans that had completed the program and actually did "big kid shit" as John called it, the kids that were new or still in training mostly stayed in a small part of the ship, but you an John had special access to most of the other parts of the ship thanks to how you both were doing in training.
"The fuck is this?" John spoke while looking at his paper, before he turned it to you and pointed at the question with a curious look in his eyes.
You looked at the paper, then at him like he was stupid. "we literally did that in class today." you told him blankly, taking a bite out of your snack.
He looks at you and blinks at you for a moment. "I fell asleep in class." he admits to you before he smiles innocently at you.
