fierce and forgiving:second chances

chapter 21

In what felt like a few minutes but in reality was 5 hours I felt someone gently shaking me,I fluttered my eyes open to find Alexia standing over me with a smile,events from last night came rushing back to memory and I smiled back at her

"Good morning" she said smiling all dressed up and prepared

"Morning smiley face and when I said you should wake me up I didn't mean wake me up right after I slept and I don't see what's good about the morning" I said trying to sit up

"The time is 20 minutes to 6 so you have roughly 15 minutes to get ready" she said pulling me to my feet
I went to the bathroom,washed my teeth and face,wore our boot camp uniform and headed to the meeting point with my partner and friend .....Alexia
I felt weirdly happy today to start the boot camp,well I guess a major reason was the fact that I connected with my partner,well I don't know her life history and I don't even need to know,sunshine arrived shortly after clapping her hands together which was a sign we all knew which meant we had to assemble.

"Good morning this morning" she said

"Good morning this morning sir" we all said in unison
I wonder what woman would like to be called a sir

"Follow me" she commanded and we weren't told twice before we followed,we were all headed towards the gutter and I wondered just why and she answered my question in no time

"For today's drill,the fourteen of y'all would go in there holding hands therefore forming a link,if you break the link you would all have to start again,it goes like this,some of you would be on the drain and the rest in the gutter,when the movements starts the ones on the drain would have to crawl in the gutter so that the ones previously in the gutter would stay on the drain,you will continue this movement till you have rounded the camp twice,remember do not break the link or you start again" she explained
No one dared interrupt her,we were still staring at the gutter probably freaking out,at least I know that's what I was doing freaking out,the sound of her whistle snapped me out

"If you don't get going,I might as well increase it to rounding the camp trice" she shouted,we weren't told the second time when we assembled ourselves in the gutter,most girls were gagging,I would have joined them too but I was on the drain but that was gonna change anyways,we all held hands and the movements started ewwww's and grosssss filled the air,crawling under wansnt that bad,at least the gutter was neat,well except the reminats of moss,a few people broke the link and sunshine surprisingly overlooked it which was new because she never passes an opportunity to drill us. We were done in like 2 to 3 hours considering how big the camp actually is.
We were done and very exhausted not to talk about how filthily dirty I felt and am sure most of us feel that way but am sure sunshine had it in for us today,her overlooking the broken links several times seemed to good to be true.
The sound of a blaring horn was heard and we all looked at where it came from,it was sunshine,we headed towards her and in front of her were two buckets, what does she need those for? I thought

"The next drill would be easy" she said,there is gonna be a next drill I whinned to myself feeling really tired

"You are going to fill these buckets with water,but the rule is you can't go into the cabins or kitchen or ocean and you have a time limit" she said looking all evil,how on earth does she expect us to get water,well except rain falls but I very well doubt that would be an option as the sun is out and shining very brightly

I won't make it out alive,tell my mum I love her but hate her at the same time for bringing me here well what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
