A Day In The Academy.

Caitlin's POV

I had just gotten to the academy with 5 minutes to spare no thanks to a stronger than me Vi, who was trying to keep me in bed this morning.

I went over to my locker and grabbed out my book for this morning and double-checked them with the timetable put up on my door. I then closed the door and headed to my first class. Communications.

------------------------------------------------------------------

In my communications class, we are taught how to talk in a respectful way to people and how to arrest someone properly, etc.

It is mostly note-taking, so I used my notebook to take as many notes as I could in the short time we had to take them in. There is a lot of information to learn during this one hour.

I heard some of the other students talking about which was breaking my focus, and I accidentally wrote the same sentence twice. But I quickly fixed it. Then the teacher stood up, ready to show us the method we were just writing about, which is how to arrest someone who is disturbing the peace.

The teacher called up the person who was talking and said to them. "Sir, you are being arrested for breach of peace." He then got out his handcuffs and showed how to arrest someone who is coming willingly.

Then he uncuffed the student and said. "Now struggle and act like you don't know what I am going on about." The student did just that and was soon let go. "Now Mr Stewart, if you talk in my class again, I will use you as a demonstration of community service."

I smiled, knowing that they got what was coming to them.

------------------------------------------------------------------

My second class was another notes one, and not much happened, but my third class was the gym.

Today, we had to run the obstacle course in the rain to make sure we were still fit enough to work on the force.

I started my stop watch for the second time this session, and I ran up the slope rather than using the rope, and I jumped down without sitting down first. I then ran through the wooden poles who were supposed to be people. I then climbed the net quickly and back down the other side before getting to the inflatable mob as it's called where I had to push my way through without hitting any down.

I then had to climb up a bigger pole and touch the top before coming down on the safety harness. I unclipped myself and then ran to the finish line. Where I hit the button on the stop watch, 5 minutes 32 seconds, I recorded it in my record book under the tent, and then went again.

Most of the students only went 2 times a session, but I always tried to beat my personal best, which is 4 minutes. Almost exactly the stop watches don't count milliseconds, sadly. The record is 2 minutes 40 seconds, but I don't think I'm ready to beat that.

Once I was done, I recorded my new time 5 minutes 10 seconds. I sat down on the bench and had my drink. "Go shower Caitlin, your are covered in mud, and the session is almost over. I've never known a student to want to do the course 3 times."

I nodded and answered. "I just enjoy getting better at it, honestly, Sir." He nodded and took my kit off of me, and I headed to the showers.

I took off my trainers and went to my locker, where I grabbed my bag of spare gym clothes and shower kit and headed to a shower. Luckily, the showers were all closed off so no one could see me, not that I'd mind, but it is awkward. I put my bag down on the bench and started the water, thinking it was better to get the worst of the mud off of my clothes as well.

I then took them off and my underwear and showered properly. My hair was all stuck together, so I had to scrub hard into my scalp to make it clean. I then cleaned all of the hard mud off of my body and checked myself over before turing the water off and drying myself off.

I then got changed, but I could hear giggling, I sighed and rolled my eyes. Some people, if Vi went here, we wouldn't be doing it during lesson hours.

I finished up and put my muddy clothes in a plastic bag for me to wash at home, I then put the rest of my clothes and shower kit in the main bag and into my locker. I then picked up the towel and started my walk home so I could make lunch for me and Vi.

Luckily, it wasn't raining, so I didn't have to rush home, and I didn't get wet again.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Once home I put my muddy clothes in the washer and started to make some sandwiches, I then put the towel up on the airer to dry and waited for the washer to be done so I could put them on their airer too and leave to meet up with Vi.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I soon made it to Vi's new place of work, which she guessed she would be at for a month of two, due to the size of her canvas.

"Hey Vi!" I called up to my girlfriend who was on a crain ladder. She was painting a mural for a jungle gym, but this time in was more cartoony and had animals in it.

"Hey Cupcake, I'll be right down." Vi called back to me. I smiled and stepped out of the way as the crain driver lowered Vi down until she was at a safe distance to climb down from the platform.

She came over to me, covered in paint, and hugged me. "Hey beautiful, this looks incredible." I beemed at Vi's work. She smiled too and kissed my cheek. "Well, it definitely doesn't from up their. I have to come away from it so many times."

I laughed quietly at her complaining. She only gets like this when she is really hungry. So I held up a sandwich to her mouth, and I made her follow me to bench for us to sit down on.

"Thankyou Cait, what would I do without you." Vi said with a mouthful of food. "Well, you'd probably be repeating school and wouldn't be here doing what you love." Vi gave me a dead pan look before laughing and kissing my head. "You are right." She said and kissed me on the lips.

Once her lunch break was over, I left and returned to our flat to clean up the floor around the airer and to check if the clothes were dry. They were so I put them in the ironing pile and grabbed the towel before leaving so I could take it with me to put back in my locker.

The rest of the day, I had free time, so I rewrote my note so that they were easier to read and were highlighted in key areas, so when I revise, I won't struggle.

And that was my day.

A/N

Honestly I wish I used the method Cait is for revision in college, my notes were so hard to read and were all over the place, if you are starting GCSEs, College, or Uni, try this method, it's helped me a lot when I found out at the end of college.
