I was full on awake and bored. I walked through the camp. I started working out by the lamp light. By doing a thousand push ups with all tricks I could think of. Then a thousand sit ups. I then walked of to the weight station. I just started benching weight. Then someone cleared their throughly. I put down the weights and looked at the person. That person being my platoon leader Caleb.
'Sir what can I do for you?' I asked.
"Can you stop calling me sir?" He asked.
'Maybe but that's not what you came here for is it?' I asked.
"Nope you see I want to redeem my record. So I want to challenge you to a computation in front of the whole camp." He said.
'Are you sure you want to be embarrassed in front of the whole camp? I mean I'll do it but no hard feelings when I win okay?' I said.
"Ok we start in a hour." He said.
He left and I just shook my head. I walked over to the vehicles and lifted them up and down. So by the time the computation everybody had bet against best soldier record. And  the new girl.
The first part was running around camp three times then transport a tank tire chain, then go through the obstacle course that the Sargent set up for us.
"Ready! Set! Go!" Percy yelled.
I full on sprinted around the camp three times. I was finished when he was on the second lap. I grabbed the chain and held it above my head and sprinted to the spot. Then I ran through the obstacle course when he barely got to the chain. I crossed the finish line and waited. He just finish the chain drag and started the obstacle course. By now I am doing trick push ups. I can hear that he was running out of breathe.
I got up and patted him on the back.
'Nice try Caleb. But you will still have my respect.' I said.
Then there was an alarm. I ran got my gun and walked to the area. Then all of a sudden there was shots coming at me. I rolled away and started shooting at them. I hit the last person. And looked down at my leg. It has three holes that is leaking blood. I look up to see my platoon watching me. I grab the bullets from my leg and threw them down to the ground. I put my hand over the wounds and can feel them healing. Once finished I got up and stumbled over to them. I limped to them and walked over to camp.
"You got hit in the stomach you know." Caleb said.
I looked down and see the bullet pop out. And my skin to close. I then looked back at him. I looked at my hands to see them all bloody. I walked over to the sink, and washed my hands. I walked over to the tent and grabbed me a new uniform. I walked back to the showers and fresh in up. I put my hair in a French braid. I put my dog tags with my records on. I walked to the fire that was in the middle of camp. I got back up and went to the tent. I grabbed paper and a pen to write a letter to Sophie.
