Dark Changes// Creepypasta

Chapter 14

After some explaining about what we had in store we walked over to the first task which was gonna be the endurance test. Hoodie explained that we were gonna do the 12 minute cooper run which is basically a square which we need to run around for 12 minutes, our partner was gonna count how many laps we had done. To be honest I was very glad we weren't doing the bleep test this was definitely an easier test compared to it. All three of us lined up up on one of the corners and waited for our go. Hoodie pulled out a stopwatch and shouted go pressing the start button and we were off, the two boys started sprinting while I started a bit slower I shook my head slightly, "Amateurs." I whispered to myself there was no way they could keep that pace for the whole 12 minutes.

I was right.

10 minutes into the run and Cody had stopped running due to tiredness and pain and Daniel was running at a fast walking pace while I just continued at my original pace. I have to admit I wasn't going as fast as I could have but I knew that I needed to conserve energy for the other tasks today, besides I had already overtaken their scores so there was no need to speed up really.

"Stop!" Hoodie called out, I slowed down coming to a stop just as I reached a cone and turned around. Masky was nodding his head and I could practically see the smirk he had under his mask, Toby and EJ both looked at each other before looking back at me. I let a small smirk cover my features and winked towards Toby and EJ, Toby's mask scrunching up and EJ shaking his head slightly both clearly disappointed in their partners but glad I did well as they both gave me a thumbs up after. Hoodie called the three creepy pasta's over asking for the scores and I walked over to the two other boys who were both panting slightly, "Ho-how did you d-do so well?" Daniel asked through his pants looking up towards me. I simply shrugged before replying, "I play centre midfield for my football team I need to have good endurance plus I used to run long distance when I was younger." Daniel nodded looking down probably disappointed he lost to a girl while Cody just let out a small huff, "Dam that's unfair I haven't ran for years!" He said throwing his hands in the air in exaggeration before letting a laugh escape his mouth showing me he meant nothing malicious by his statement. Hoodie called over asking us to join them and we all walked over. 

He told us our next test which was going to be the sprinting test and I inwardly groaned, you see i'm quite short and although my legs move very fast I usually wasn't the fastest just due to the fact my legs were a lot shorter than most. We walked over to the cones while Hoodie explained how it was going to work, I had a rough idea of what it could be but still listened closely. "As you can see I set up two rows of cones about 30 metres apart, you will each get three goes running it as fast as you can and your fastest time out of the three will be your score." We all nodded in response, Cody offered to go first as he had the most rest due to dropping out early on the previous followed by me then Daniel.

After the first round I was last with Daniel being first and Cody second, I didn't expect to be anything but last so I wasn't annoyed at this. I just wanted to better my score every run making it a competition with myself rather than against the others.

After all three runs were done I was still last be had a much better time than my first sprint so I was quite happy with that and I wasn't that far behind Daniel, yes Daniel! Cody ended up getting the fastest time on his last run! I went over and patted his back congratulating him and he smiled shyly. I walked over to Masky expecting him to be disappointed, "Sorry about that my speed isn't the best." I looked down at the floor but he just laughed? "It's okay Jess you aren't being compared to the boys because that's not fair, we had the girls in the house do this test and we are comparing you to them and you did really well!" I smiled feeling slightly proud that I did actually do well.

The next test was the strength tests, we split into our partners and had to complete 3 tests, one was a max press up's in one minute test, one was the max sit up's in one minute test and the last one was a max plank hold. Me and Masky decided to start with the sit ups, then do the press ups and the plank hold last so I sat down and Masky held my feet down. Once Hoodie said go and pressed the stop watch I started going as fast as I can, I wasn't worried about the pain I was more worried about how fast I can do it. 

"Stop!" Hoodie yelled and I flopped backwards panting slightly, "You have a two minute rest until your next 1 minute timer starts!" I looked to Masky, "You did well there Jess, better than I thought considering how skinny you are." I furrowed my brows, "Hey it's not my fault I struggle to put on weight to gain muscle, i'm stronger than I look." I crossed my arms in front of me, I didn't like my body I knew I was skinny but being a poor university student meant I couldn't buy all of the food I wanted to eat because it was expensive. "I never said it was a bad thing, we will just need to get you training and eating better." He said and I perked up slightly, finally I would be able to hopefully get a plan I thought. We continued conversing until Hoodie came over, "Jess if you would like you can do knee press up's?" I scrunched my nose up but quickly wiped it off my face, I wasn't about to go and get an advantage just because I was a girl so I shook my head 'no' I knew my skills and my score would be ridiculous if I did knee press ups. He just stared at me for a moment probably shocked I didn't say yes but shrugged after a moment before turning and walking back to his original spot. Masky turned his head to the side, I rolled my eyes before repeating to him, "I'm stronger than I look, trust me." He just let out a long 'okay'.

Hoodie started to count down from 10 indicating he was about to start the stop watch and I scrambled into position siking myself up before he said 'go' and I started my press up's. I made sure my form was good and even with the pain in my muscles I continued through gritted teeth persevering wanting to prove myself. 

"Stop!" Hoodie shouted and I dropped to the floor taking in a breath I didn't realise i was holding for the last couple of reps. "Dam Jess." I heard Masky say and I looked up at him giving him a tired smile, "You really are just full of surprises." He said and I laughed in response, I cast my eyes over towards Hoodie who was looking over to me nodding his head seemingly also impressed with my strength. Now only one more test which was probably going to be my best as I used to have to hold plank's for like 4 minutes when I used to do Karate when I was younger.

We had our 2 minute rest and Hoodie gave all the creepy pasta's stop watches so they could time their partners for the plank, all of us now just waiting for the 'go' from Hoodie. Hoodie looked down at his watch on his wrist and started counting down from 10 once more and I got into my ready position feeling determined to beat the boys. 

Cody was the first one to go around 1:30 minutes and it was just me and Daniel, we were positioned facing each other and I looked up at him to see him struggling and i smirked as I barely even felt tired. Daniel bowed out with a respective 4 minutes, I was starting to feel the burning in my arms and abs slightly but nevertheless I carried on. I wanted to smash the others score. I finally went down just before the 6 minute mark and looked around to see everyone just looking at me all kinda shocked. I let out a shy laugh and stood up, Cody walked over to me and congratulated me first patting my shoulder saying how amazing the time was, followed by Daniel and even Toby and EJ said well done. I felt pride rise in my chest, happy I was able to stand my own in all of the challenges.

After we finished Hoodie collected all the scores and recorded them on a sheet of paper and read through our scores, I was shocked to find out how well I did in the end and the most shocking news was finding out I'm actually the fastest girl here!

After all was said and done we were all walked back towards the house where we were gonna go to get some lunch our task for the day complete.
