I could tell there was a shift in my training. Every morning at six AM I go to the locker, that is, if I decided not to just sleep there the night before. Either way, I'm ready at six. I usually wake up at five to put my contacts in, do my makeup, and grab my training clothes out of my duffle bag. My uniform is what you would expect, a spandex, skin tight suit with a zipper in the middle that when is unzipped would show boobs for days. I always have it zipped all the way up. Even though Blood and Barbies promotes being sexual, I usually opt out. I don't like it when fuckboys stare at me, unlike most of the other members. I don't blame or judge them though, because I can totally see their reasons to be that way. When you first get to Blood and Barbies, you are given the option to have surgery to enhance yourself. Plus, it is always so hot out here. So when it's 90+ degrees and you have a perfect body, why put more clothes on? I just don't like the shallow attention. Yeah I have D's and a peach but I find my confidence in my face.

    After I finally get on my suit, I grab my vans. The only shoes for girls you can find in the stores are heels. If they are not heels, they are either rompers, sandals or yeti boots. We are not allowed to buy male clothes so I had to trade two-hundred points for my vans in the gang's miniature black market. I only get 250 points a day for training and 40 points a night at the mini bar I work at. I treat these gray vans very well. I could have just been given a pair from a guy friend but I don't really have any. The only guy I really know is my soon-to-be partner, flick, but he doesn't know that I know him.

    Then I head to the stairs, which are barely visible. They are black, just like the walls, ceilings, and floors of the locker. It is a very dark place because of that. As I walked up the stairs I passed the floor that contains all the contraband that has been confiscated from members and all the trading goods for BnB. I don't know what the trading goods are, but I do know that they are for trading with other gangs. Sort of like how countries trade with each other.

    On the third floor, there are cells. That is where BnB keeps all the members either on suspicion, or convicted of a crime. They wait there until they are sold to other gangs as debt- settlers. That is the punishment for all crime. Then, other gangs  can use them for whatever they want. Some gangs use them as servants, while others treat them as normal members. What keeps people from breaking rules is more of the fact that they lose all their friends and family moving to a new gang, then the actual punishment.

    But, like I said, there has definitely been a shift in my training. Everyday I practice the best and easiest ways to inject people with different chemicals- which to use and where. The official name of this position is "chemical spy". I will explain more later. Lately my trainer, Jade, has almost seemed worried... Jade is a stoic; I have never seen her smile. She is a very quiet person too, but she does yell sometimes, like when we are doing hard core training. She keeps her suit zipped up too. Lately her focus has been off. Sometimes she will get her compounds mixed up, like when she was showing me how to make something similar to cyanide out of peach pits and car oil. I never correct her. Her eyes have been distracted, looking all over. I don't ask about it. She has also been dropping hints about my upcoming mission. She is not supposed to do that. I can not know about my mission until it is happening. What I have concluded from these hints is that Cherry, the top boss of BnB, has a bad feeling about Sunset (which is BnB's second best "friend"). I have always known that I was training to spy on our "best gang friend", PTK. PTK is the closest gang to us, only two-hundred miles away. It is very different from BnB. Here's the plan: I am going to go undercover as a POC (which is a Prisoner Of Crime, remember what the cells are for?) My partner is going to be Flick. Flick is another spy who has been training separately from me. He will not be told that we are partners, though. He would honestly think I was another POC just getting sent away on the same POC truck as him. He will think that I think he is a real POC. It is all complicated because it has to seem like a coincident when he falls in love with me. Yeah, it sounds cheesy but it is the only way to get him back to BnB. PTK is known to sway spies into staying and not coming back with the information. The idea is that I will get Flick to fall in love with me, then once we get the info we need, I will get a faux forgiveness letter from BnB inviting me back. Then flick will have more incentive to come back to BnB with me. We need to know what's up with Sunset because they have stopped trading with us all together. It has almost completely upturned the economy into a definite red. Without proper trade flow, gangs won't be able to feed and clothe their members. If a gang stops trading with even one other gang, it can turn into a domino effect and soon no one's trading.
