I landed flat on my bed creating a wave with the sheets as my shirtless body hit the warm soft fabric. I positioned my hands under my head for support as I gaze aimlessly at my grandparents' guestroom ceiling.

Today was quite a day. I tried to find my friend but ended up killing some dude, I fainted for the first time because apparently I'm suffering with stress and I almost died which my grandfather didn't even care about. He just laughed without concern. Great, but other than that grandpa said he knows who kidnapped Jake so that's a good start. Also I learnt to use a gun today.

"Whoa. What a day." I said letting out a loud sigh.

"What a day?" A girl around my age was standing in front my door leaning against the door frame with her hands crossed over her chest with a one eyebrow raised letting me know she's confuse.

"Yes, what a day." I let out a quiet sigh.

She's around five feet, four inches, has dark brown hair that's roll up into some sort of a messy bun, she has a light brown, red-ish skin complexion and very intriguing green eyes. She's wearing grey joggers and a white T-shirt to finish off her look.

"Okay.... I'm Bethany but for you it's Hunter." She said walking to my bed and sitting next to me with her legs crossed under her. I sat up with my elbows on the bed as I slightly lean back watching her.

"Okay Hunter but who are you?" I asked raising one eyebrow at her.

"I'm your trainer bud, also I've seen you around Eastwood before."

"You go to Eastwood? As in my old school, Eastwood?"

"Yes I thought it was obvious but apparently it's not." She said letting out a giggle and dropping her gaze to the bed.

"Am...why don't you put on a shirt?" She said and I looked down forgetting that I'm shirtless.

"Oh sorry. My bad. How do you know my grandfather?" I asked getting out of bed.

" I've known him since I was three. He found me and took me in to train and do what he does. He's not a bad guy Kaleb. What he does is to help the government, that's what your whole family do. They work for the government." She replied, her eyes trailing my every move.

" Thanks for clearing that up. I was confused out of my mind. Abuelo is a very confusing person, it's hard to know if he's either being sarcastic or serious." I said rolling my eyes while I pulled out the first jersey I saw. I pulled the white fabric over me and turned to face her. She let out a silent giggle when she saw me I looked at her, my face scowled in confusion.

"What?" I crossed my hands over my chest.

"Look at me then look at you." She answered laughing.

I look at her then at me. "Ugh, damn I guess I'll have to change." Recognizing that we're matching but I'm wearing a pair of dark grey joggers instead of light grey.

"No, no it's okay. I like to match with people, I find it's cool to try someone else's style once in a while but I hate all those dresses and makeup. I tried that one time with my sister Ivory but it wasn't pretty....well at least for me, she said I looked good but it felt disgusting." She said laughing at the end and soon I joined in.

"Am okay but....I have to find my friend Jake. So I'm going downstairs." I told her after I remembered him. She got out off my bed and we both walked towards each other. Actually she was walking towards me I was walking towards the door.

"Yep I know, why else do you think I'm here? But your grandfather said that he'll find your friend. I'm here to train you and a word of advice don't piss me off because I'll kick your butt really bad if you do." Her voice was serious.
