RUN

Chapter 5

(Comment below if you understand the picture)

    Mr. Gardner said I did really well on my performance that he said that Paul better teach me kick-box so I can train with Will. Which I didn't look forward to since I haven't spoken to him in 2 weeks. From now on Paul took my training more seriously. I mean he made it harder and made me do more stretches. Sometimes I just can't stand him.

Jack and I have actually become really close. He's like my go to guy. I talk to him about everything and he tells me everything. We hang out regularly everyday during lunch. Sometimes we even hang out with Evan and his girlfriend, Isa. Isa and I became closer ever since then and now she and I are best friends. Ally and I sort of drifted but we talk to each other every once in a while. She's been pretty distant. Which makes me sad.

Today at lunch it was me, Isa, Jack and Evan. We were talking, laughing, and chilling. Jack's arm was around me and I almost died. I looked at him and he smiled. I then locked my hand with his. And that's when I something came to my mind. And I realized something that made perfect since.

"Hey I'll be back." I got up and walked away but I didn't let go of Jack's hand until we were far apart. I smiled at him and entered the building. I ran through the lobby, past my dorm and into my training room. I knew Paul would be there. He was putting up equipment in the exercise closet. I stopped behind him.

"Someone's in a hurry to-"

"It's Christina." He stopped putting the punching dummy in closet and turned around. "She's your girlfriend."

"How did you figure-"

"Oh please!" I said panting. I could my heart beating. "Christina's hair is so long and her hair is almost lighter than her skin tone. Her arms, and face have long scars all over it that make her look like a hero, and her personality can change swiftly." He looked shocked and worried that I might tell anyone. "I won't tell a soul." He let out a breath. He continued to put our stuff away. I sat on the floor.

"Honestly I think you guys make an interesting couple. You guys are actually alike."

"How would you know?"

"First, you both definitely are against me. That's for sure."

"I don't hate you. Neither does Christina. She has personal problems. You wouldn't understand."

"I know what they are."

"How?"

"Christina and I were classmates for years. Our whole school knew about her parents and their death." Long story short, Christina's parents died from a house fire when she was she about 10. She's lived with her older brother Jason ever since. He seemed doubtful for a second but it went away.

"So you have known Christina. What was that like?"

"Let's just say we weren't close friends. But I think we could be. Now at least."

"Well that still doesn't mean you know all of her personal problems."

"Then tell me."

"Can't you need to get back to lunch. Or Gardner 'll kill me." He was right. Gardner did watch us during lunch. So I ran out of the room, past my dorm, through the lobby, and into the courtyard and sat beside Jack. He put his arm around me which made me happy.

"Where were you, Kris," He asked.

"I was with my trainer. I needed to ask him a personal trainer and I have to be a wequestion that I swore never to tell anyone the answer." Then the intercom came on. Please send Kris and Will from Unit 15 to the G station. I already knew what that meant. That meant that we had to go to Gardner. Which meant either we were going on our first mission or he's going to kill us. Probably the first.
