Chapter 3

"Some people live the life that was given. Some people just get by..."

Fitz wakes up. He blinks and looks up at his ceiling, rubbing his eyes, he sat up and looked out of the window. The sun was still barely up, but there was a line of a shimmering orange coming up, it was always nice to see it. It never changes, it never goes away for a long time...The sunrise was always gonna be there. Fitz just looks at it, smiling a bit, he then grabs his phone and looks at it.

5:20 am

Huh, he didn't get much sleep this time...He should probably go back to sleep but he couldn't...Fitz stretches, getting up and still looking at the time. Fitz then glances at his desk, he didn't have anything else to finish now. Maybe he'll jog to the academy, the basketball tryout was today. Fitz puts his phone down and grabs his towel and heads to the shower, wanting to freshen up before heading to school.

After getting out he grabs one of his spare uniforms and throws it on. With one last look in the mirror, checking that his appearance was perfect he left the room, leaving the door slightly open for Grizel—one of the maids— to make his bed.

Quietly makes his way down the stairs, bag in his hands he makes his way to the kitchen. Looking around he grabs his water bottle from the fridge and contemplates on grabbing a banana.

'You don't need one. Carbs make you fat."

Fitz hesitates... No. No. Food is suppose to keep him healthy, it keeps him fit. He grabs the banana, and leaves. But the thoughts claw in his head.

'Food makes you fat.'

'Your not fit enough.'

'Your not good enough.'

Shut up.

Shut up!

Fitz thought, suddenly starting to jog. After a few moments...He feels a bit calmer... The voice stops. He smiles again, picking up the pace.

Fitz loved running, it made him feel alive. A lot of the times when he needed to clear his head, he'd run. Fitz would have loved to join the track team! But he had basketball to worry...So he didn't. But he didn't need to think about that right now. Fitz just wanted to run, he wanted to run as the sun rises up.

After a little bit, Fitz found himself in front of the academy. He was slightly panting, so he quick cleaned himself up and he went in.

Fitz was gonna head right into the south gymnasium when something caught his eye. Out on the track/football field was 2 people. The first one was on the track and he instantly recognized them as Stina Heks. She was suppose to be his fiancé but the two shut it down immediately. She had her hair in a ponytail and was on starting position. The other person was had black skin and was wearing a shorts and a white t-shirt as well as a baseball cap. If Fitz could recall, his name was Wylie Endal a recent graduate of Foxfire and the newest part of the faculty. He was the track coach of the girls team so that explains why he was with Stina...

Fitz heard a whistle blow and saw Stina bolt up and run. His eyes widen in awe, he and Stina didn't like each other but he couldn't help but be impressed as Stina manage to run the whole track without slowing down. When he saw Stina stop he could see the big grin she had as she and Wylie chatted about something...He wondered how that felt like. Smiling after doing something amazing.
