It 's 4:00 AM.
I decided to run a little by myself, alone with my thoughts. The military base is a one hour and a half foot trip from the sea, so I went by train. It's true, I could just run close to the base, but I want the fresh ocean air on my face while I'm running. It's peaceful.
Two days ago I was awake at this hour at the party, and today, I'm awake so that I can run
close to the sea. My comfort place. Once I picked the train, I let myself relax and just looked through the window. Everything on movement. Fifteen minutes later, I arrived at my destination.
First, I sat down on the sand, inspiring and exhaling the salty air. Then, I went for a run. I really love this. Now, I'm full of energy. What better way to start the day? Better than a run close to the sea, only a swim!
Since no one was near, I took my clothes off and went swimming. The water was cold but I
didn't care. After that, I picked the train back to the base.
It was already 6:45, so I didn't have time to take a shower, since the training began at 7:00. I just changed my salty clothes to clean ones. My hair was waivy, I smelled like salt, but I was feeling fresh, so fuck everyone who dares to criticized.
Dom arrived on time.
- I went to your room but you weren't there.
- Who would've known?
- Your hair is different... Oh! You went to the beach!
I smiled and nodded. Then the instructor started talking.
- Today it's a different training session. You're going to learn how to shoot with a gun. Pick a partner.
- We stay together, right? - Dom asked.
- Of course. I could shoot at you and you would laugh. - I pranked and he smiled.
The instructor gave me a gun, as well at every pair, and said:
- One at a time, you're going to do the same I will do. Shoot at the wall, where the
target is. Each pair will position themselves so that they're facing the front of the
target, and at my signal, you shoot.
That's what we did. The instructor showed us how to handle a gun and how to shoot it. Then,
he gave the signal:
- Now!
The sound of bullets was loud, and I shooted right at the target, on his left side. Wow, I want
to repeat this.
- You have just begun and you're already an expert! - Dom said, amuse.
- Your turn. - I gave him the gun
- Shit! I wasn't even close. - he shooted the wall, much above the target.
- It 's okay. Not everyone can be as talented as I am. - We laugh.
The training continued until 11:50, with some breaks. After the training, we went to the
cafeteria. We were so hungry.
