Call You Mine

Chapter 3 - Circuit Training

This morning, I had cancelled my morning run due to severe pain from my back and ribs. I was extremely grateful that my head was not hurting, so I guess it was healed. I tried a series of yoga positions instead, trying loosen my body for the day. It didn't help much but it was at least manageable.

........

"So want to go get some breakfast from the cafeteria this morning? I hear they're serving cheese omelette ." Chloe chirps after climbing out of the car.

"I think I'll pass. I have a test today, I'd rather go study for it. In addition, to getting a little more study time for the SAT's next week." I reply dragging my book bag with me.

I had taken to ride to school with Chloe and Aley today, because Jake and Alex had an early football practice for their last meet this Friday night.

"How about you, Aley?" Chloe asks. Aley looks up from her phone and answers "Yeah why not?Let's go."

I watch the two bounce up the stairs to the cafeteria, while I hurry to the library. History was one of my best subjects and I wanted to at least get a B+ for my test. It wasn't a need or anything, but I focused on getting C's or B's, because I wanted to keep Claire and Michael off my back.

The day went by quiet quick, and soon I was heading to practice in the large gym with Jake in tow. "So how did the history test go? " he asks while stretching his back muscle.
I turn to him appalled by his question. "Jake! You were there. You should know." I roll my eyes, carefully bending over to touch my toes even if it hurts my wounds a little. "That doesn't mean I was paying attention. I just took history so that I could gawk at Missy Howard the whole time." he smirks. I punch him slightly and smile. "Perv." I roll my neck to hear it crack. Not to give you the wrong idea Jake was not a slacker or anything, he just disliked history, however, he excelled at other subjects. "By the way, have you seen my dag—"

"Listen up." I turn,  as did everyone,  to see the Lycans rallied in front of the class.

Aiden was on Alpha Derek's far right dressed in black basketball shorts, black sleeveless t-shirt and training shoes. Stephen was on Derek's right in black sweatpants, grey t-shirt and training  shoes. On Alpha Derek's left was the twins, Theo in dark blue t-shirt and Leo shirtless as always. Both matching in dark grey basketball shorts but barefooted. Alpha Derek stood tall in the middle of them,in a white t-shirt , grey sweatpants and training shoes.

You could feel the extended force of power coming from all of them and it was intimidating. You couldn't help but look at them in awe.

"I am here to tell you all that starting now until summer vacation, you will all train with us. We will be assessing you all. Many of you don't know, but I was on the battlefield Sunday night closely watching you all, in order to check out your capabilities and techniques. In my mind, I believe you all should compete for it, no matter what you might think of yourself.--" he turns to look at Theo and Leo, and their gaze moves to me. What? Why are they looking at me?

I slowly hide behind Jake's broad shoulders, while I keep on listening. Are they still mad at me? "--We don't care if you have volunteered to do so or not, only those that we deem worthy will be participating this summer in the competition."
The crowd of appreciative youngsters near me started to mumble to each other.
"Well that's interesting. " Jake whispers to me. " I guess that explains why he was in the forest huh?"
"I guess." I mumble.
"Today will just be normal training and routine exercises, but starting tomorrow we will get started." Derek looks on forward.

He takes a step forward and gestures to his far right "For those of who don't know this is Aiden, he will be teaching you on anatomy of werewolves and the best ways to hit specific regions on your opponents body--" I could see Sam smiling at that, he must be excited to learn from a master.
"--Next to him is Stephen, he is here to teach you how to shift better, faster and be stronger in your wolf form.--"
