It was 2:15 when Bella rub the raw of her eyes as she sat up in bed, she could hear the faint footsteps and light chatter throughout the halls of the Huntress manor, no doubt the other girls were up and getting a head start for their first class back at 4:30.

Pulling her self from the bed she walk to her closet and pulled down the first gym wear she could reach, she always went for a early morning run and today was no different.

Bella grabbed her phone from her bedside table with her ear buds after she had dress and crept through the halls with a light good morning to the few others she past to get down stairs and outside their dorm manor.

The BlueBloods were her favour rock band and as she selected their newest album from her play list she took off into the dark early morning to view the grounds at a steady run.

July was always warm but Bell could feel the early chilly dew breeze brush her skin as she jogged past the Atrium building that over looked the assembly hall there were massive mountain surrounding the Rennob school no doubt the founders thought it would be best protected if it was build in the valley that these mountain stood a breast.

" I never knew you to be warn after all who runs in this cold withought a jacket on" said Sam

Bella never wore a jacket when she runs, with her gym suit, just her sweat bra and joggers no matter how cold it got, this was one of those funny things about her.

"Well see you on the way back Sam" she said with a small wave and took off the great the river.

Then head down to the canteen to get a smoothie, for breakfast was not until 7:30 at the rennob and it was off to her first class of the day Advance Russian studies, on her way to class she saw Tamara a freakled face girl with ginger hair who was in house Phelion.
