I hear my alarm going off at 6:00. I groan, not wanting to leave the comfort of my bed but knowing that I won't get up anytime soon if I just lay here. After a debate of getting up, I push the covers off and get a leotard. I walk to the bathroom and take a shower. 

After the shower I put on the leotard with sweat pants and a sweater and go to see if Chris is awake. I knock on her door and she opens the door all ready.

I soon remember I have to put my hair up.

"Ready?" I ask, grabbing a hair tie. She nods. We put our shoes on and start for the gym.

"You will be ranked on how well you do each day." Starts Eric, our coach. Everyone is standing in front of Eric and Four. They have set up two boards with all our names on magnets. "After each month, people with the lowest score with be kicked out."

"Wait... Kicked out?" Asks Chris. Shut up... I think to myself.

"Yes. Got a problem?" Asks Eric.

"That was never what happened." says Chris in disbelief.

"Whats your name?" Asks Four.

"Christina." She squeaks.

"Well Christina, things are different around here then what you were told. Your first lesson from me will the keep your mouth shut." snaps Four. Christina is silent after that.

"Now that you are quiet, you guys were brought here away from your family because you were thought of as the best. But you will be put through hard mornings and stressful afternoons. If you can't take the pressure and work, you can leave." Murmurs are heard throughout the tiny crowd. 

Nobody likes the idea.
