"So do you know what compartment you're in?" I questioned.
"I think my dad said B. But I really have no clue."
"I'm on B too! I can show you around if you want!" Alison interrupted, eager to have a new friend.
"Okay, well I'll let Alison show you around, nice meeting you!"

I didn't really know what to do except go back to my room, so I decided I would go put some athletic clothes on and go to the gym. I walked back up to my room, stripped down, and found a cute pair of black Nike shorts, a blue Nike tank top, and my adorable black Roshe Runs. Then, I put my hair into a slicked back pony tail and put my things back away since they weren't dirty. On my way out, I could hear Alison and Alyssa conversing in Alison's room. I stride over to Alyssa's room and told her I was going to workout, then I was on my way.

It actually took me a few minutes to find the training room, but it was workout heaven. I always have sort of been in shape, because I've been playing soccer since pre-school, but something about working out also calmed me. I can get relaxed and take out my anger on a treadmill, and when I'm on the field, I can dribble the ball down the field in a few simple strides and forget everything that's going on.

When I looked around the room, I was amazed. They had really accounted for us to be in shape. There were cases of bottled water, yoga mats rolled up perfectly, three treadmills, bench-presses, dumbbells, and just about anything else I could think of. I decided to do a few simple stretches to get warmed up, and then run on the treadmill. Then, I would use the dumbbells and step-ups. Having an itinerary made me feel useful, so I always planned out my day before-hand. However, that has been a little difficult lately, what with the world going crazy, and me being on the road. After some simple, yet effective stretches that worked my legs and arms, I hopped on the treadmill and turned it on. I took a few deep breaths, warmed up on a low setting, then I set the treadmill up to run for fifteen minutes. It's been almost two weeks since I worked out, so I think I should start small and work my way up.
As I neared the end of my short run, I could definitely feel the muscles I'm my legs aching for more, so I ran a quick extra five minutes. When I was done, I felt exhilarated.

I stepped off of the machine, and ran a hand up to my hair, smoothing my honey blonde locks back, then I tuned both hands to tighten my pony, and marched straight over to the step-up blocks and dumbbells. I picked up the small 7 pound weights, and pulled the box to where I could start my activity. I had one weight in each hand, and first I held my arms to my side and did a few squats. Next, I started to feel sweat beads pooling on my body but I pushed on. 'Just Do It' was what my shirt read in big black letters, and that I did. I continued to work on my arms and legs for thirty minutes, and receded back to the treadmill for a cool down run. My JV coach from eighth and ninth grade convinced me to love cool down runs, and now I didn't feel right if I didn't run after a workout.

Just then, someone burst through the door wearing nothing but a black pair of shorts hanging just above his knees and some tennis shoes. It was none other than Calum Hood.

"Carter? What are you doing?"
"Just working out. I was almost done."
"Why?"
"I don't know. I play, well, played soccer and I like to run."
"I did too. That's cool. Me too. But you can't get a body like this without the work." He said, flexing his arms up and down and winking, showing a flirty smile.
"Well," I said. "My run is over, and I would stretch but you kinda seem like a perve."
"I'm not gonna lie, Carter. You're pretty hot, and also right.. But whatever, I'll see you at dinner." He said, picking up a fifty pound weight and making his abs flex. I rolled my eyes. "Bye Calum!"

Calum wants dat booty tho??

I know Carter sounds really unrealistically obsessed but she's still really confused and scared and she wants to be able to protect herself and her family, plus there's literally nothing to do down there so she's bored and working out gives her stuff to do
