Chapter 8: Training The Losers

Chapter 8: Training The Losers

Cat's pov.

Kolton didn't show up for dinner last night. That kinda got me upset but I tried not to let it show, I didn't need him before and I don't need him now. I won't let that jerk get to me. I stretch and get outta my bed and it's about nine. I quickly make my bed and slightly fix my bed head so I don't look too much like crap. I open my door to walk into the hallway and I see a bouquet of white roses at my door, I can smell Kolton around the corner and know he's watching me. There's a small note on it and I bend down and pick it up, walk into my room with the note and roses and am very surprised at what I read.

Dear Cat,

I'm sorry for what I did to you, it was truly stupid and horrible. I'm so sorry for that, I really am. Now I know you're far from forgiving me but please, can we just start over? I really like you and don't want to ruin our future because of some stupid mistake I made in the past when I thought you had to be cool to have friends and only cared about who was good in bed. I really hope you we can start over and I hope you like white roses.

Yours,

Kolton

Wow. This is really.... surprising.... He actually realizes he was a stupid jerk who only cared about popularity and sex, he has gotten slightly more intelligent. I rip up the note and throw it in the trash, the roses are too nice to waste so I grab a cup I had from earlier, fill it with water from the sink, and put it on my desk. I walk out of my room and walk over to where Kolton is hiding at the end of the hall in a closet in front of the stairs.

"Cut the crap, Kolton. Flowers? Really? I mean sure, they're nice, but I'm not going to be won over by some flowers." I say as I open the door and see him there staring back at me with hurt in his gorgeous big grey eyes. "I'm sorry, it seemed like a nice gesture at the time...." He says and I sigh feeling regret and guilt wash over as I hear the dissapointed and guilty tone in his voice.

"Look just stop, okay Kolton. You didn't want me before so why change your mind? Because I'm pretty? Well news flash, you missed your chance and once we're done here I'm leaving and there's no way I'm coming back." I say softly and he looks at me with more hurt in his eyes. "Can I please, please, just get one last chance? I just want to make things right, we're suppost to be together, don't deny the pull Cat." Kolton says and he gently runs his hand down my arm and entwines our fingers sending millions of little sparks through my body, my wolf yelling at me to get closer.

I can't do this, Kolton can't be trusted. He just wants me for my body, he didn't even try to get to know me before. I'm not good enough. I'll never be good enough. All these thoughts swirl in my head and I back up taking my hand out of his and immediately miss the sparks. "I-I-I, I can't Kolton. I just can't. Please, stay away from me." I say shakily and Kolton frowns. "Why?" He says strongly and I cock my head to the side.

"Why? Look Kolton, you made it very clear two years ago why. I'm not good enough, I'm an ugly, emo, pimple-faced freak. Remember those words Kolton? Well, in case you don't, I do." I say and I walk away from him, and it's getting harder to walk away everytime I see him.

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

I walk out onto the training grounds, training grounds I wasn't even allowed on before, I was too weak. It's about 10:04 and we're about to start our first training session with these losers, me leading the whole thing. I watch as everyone who will participate walks out onto the area, males drooling over me because I'm wearing a purple sports bra, black and purple Nike shorts, my hair up in a high pony tail, no shoes. Stupid males can't control themselves.....

"IGHT! EVERYBODY OVER HERE! WE GON' START TRAININ'!" I yell and I can hear slight laughter among some people because of my accent. "Now that I've got everyone's attention, I'm gon' lead all the trainin'. Now let's start with a good ten laps 'round this training area, when everyone shifts we'll start." I say and I quickly go behind a tree and shift.

When I trot back about everyone has shifted. I walk over infront of everyone with my boys behind me and mind-link them. Ready to show these pansies how it's done? I ask and I get a chorus of 'hell yeah's' and 'damn right we are!'. I look around and scan for anyone who hasn't shifted and then jump into my run. My boys and I are used to running a lot, we do daily runs in the rain forest all the time, but it seems like these guys aren't. Most of the packs we go to aren't but I'm really disappointed in them, they used to be such a strong, good pack. Seems like it all went downhill with Kolton here.

My boys and I are at least thirty yards in front of their fastest runner, Kolton, and it's sad to see them all struggle. The boys and I finish quickly, overlapping them three times, and they all start finishing minutes after us. We all shift and watch them come in, some of the males are exhausted because they were sprinting trying to catch up. "Alright, seems like you all aren't very trained in running. But that's alright, we're going to fix that. Now I'm going to give you guys a little four minute water break." I say and they all go and shift and start to drink, no chug their waters.

I walk back over to my group who are drinking a little water, we aren't really thirsty after that run but we don't want to look that well trained and seem better than them. When the four minutes are up I gather everyone to the center of the training area. "IGHT! EVERYONE LISTEN UP!" I yell and I begin to speak again when I see everyone's eyes on me.

"Okay now we want to see you fight. We're going to pick pairs and have you fight in front of us. We will evaluate your fighting skills and pin-point your weaknesses so we can work on them and improve them to make you all the best fighters possible. Now no switching partners, you must fight them." I say and then we start to make the partners.

We watch the fights and aren't very happy with what we see. Their fighters aren't balanced, they are either too focused on one strategic style or another. They don't try to be all around fighters, and that's all their weaknesses. We have a plan set out for us, to round out these fighters, balance them. It's not easy, but at least now we're getting to see their downfall.

After about two hours of fights and us pointing out what everyone has to work on, we decide to end the training. We would have gone for longer but all the fighters were drenched in sweat and exhausted, it was sad. We quickly announce to them that training will be every other day so there was no training tomorrow, that made a lot of them very happy.

Right now it was 5:13 and Hayley was in my room right now, we were getting ready for the party they were throwing for us tonight. Hayley always insists that there is no such thing as too much time to prepare, well I think she's wrong because the party starts at 7:30.....

"Alright so sexy badass look or hot partier dress look?" Hayley asks me for my outfit choice and I shrug. "I don't really care, describe the outfits." I say and she nods and starts to describe the badass look. "Okay so smoky make-up, red lip-stick, black heels, black stud earrings, tight black skinny jeans to show off your nice butt, your cute, tight red tank, and your super cute black leather jacket." She says and I nod, sounds like a good outfit.

Then she proceeds to describe the hot partier dress outfit. "Alright so it's a cute strapless white dress that is longer on the back then in the front, small natural make-up with some nice eyeliner and mascara, pink lips, the white crosses earrings, the little black cursive Live Without Regrets necklace, your black heels, and your black leather jacket again." She says and I got an outfit. I pick the hot partier dress outfit and Hayley starts to rush me to get changed immeaditatly. She does my hair and make-up, lightly curls the tips of my hair, and then starts to do her own make-up since I don't really know that much about make-up.

Once we're both ready to go it's about 7:36 and we quickly get up and walk down the stairs together. We join Shane at the bottom and he takes Hayley away leaving me to go out alone. I walk out to the loud pack backyard and do you know that song called Stop and Stare? Yeah well once I walked outside that kinda happened, everyone turned and I swear I saw jaws drop. I also saw many pissed off girls but screw them, I'm not here for their guys, I'm here to fuckin' party! After about fifteen awkward seconds I just walk over to my friends and now the fun begins!
