    I woke up to a horn being blown, "Get up trainees!"
  Had to be the classic horn.
    I look over to see Ervin standing by the doorway, and he gave me a quick wink witch I answered by rolling my eyes, "Get dressed I'll be waiting for you in the training room in 18 minutes, oh and your uniform is in the closet already."

   "How do we know if it fits us?" I asked.

  "If you don't remember, in the contract you put your size of clothes," he said to me.

   He was about to turn around but I came up with another question, "Wait! Where are we suppose to change?"

  He smiled at me, "Oh! Thanks for reminding me, there's a girls and boys locker room down the hall."

  When he left everyone hurried to go change and Ari, Abby, and I said bye to Danny.

  The locker room was surprisingly normal, like any other locker room it had lockers and a row of showers.

    I quickly changed and brushed my teeth. I then waited for Ari and Abby in the exit.

    "You guys take so long!" I said to them when they finally came out.

    "Hey it's not our fault that you change so fast! Plus you haven't even done your pony tail!" Ari argued.

    I made a quick messy pony tail, "There, happy?"

    Abby just rolled her eyes and said,"Come on you guys stop arguing, let's just go to the training room already."

   "Fine," we both muttered and headed to the training room.  When we got there, there was already a lot of guys there and the girls were just beginning to come.

    When it looked like everyone was here Ervin called everyone's attention and started speaking, "Ok today is all about how fit you are, if your not fit this is going to be torture-" he got cut off by a series of groans. ",but if you are fit well....this is still going to be torture 'cus our exercises are painful. Right now we're going to stretch to get ready to run. Hmm today we're going to run....15 laps around the track-"he got cut off again. "Hey I wouldn't complain other sergeants are way stricter but if you want to run more that's ok with me."

   No one said anything, "Ok your going to run in partners so choose someone who you think can keep your pace." I instantly paired up with Danny because me and him were the fastest from the four and of the time of the class too. Of course Ari and Abby paired up, they were never the running type but they still ran in a good pace.

  When everyone was paired up Ervin led us to the track I was looking around for a certain looking blue-eyed boy, "Who you looking for?" I jumped to the sound of Aiden's voice.

   "What makes you think that?" I said to him.

   "Well when someone is looking 360 around the room I'm guessing they're looking for someone, or maybe there's just something really wrong with their neck," he sarcastically remarked. Danny chuckled and I playfully punched his shoulder.

   I glared at Aiden, "Haha very sarcastic I see."

   He smirked, "Yup, so wanna race to see who has the lowest time with Sam and I versus you and I'm sorry what's your name?" he turned to Danny.

   "Danny."

    "With Danny, or are you to slow, I wouldn't be surprised girls are usually slow and I'm a fast runner so you wouldn't stand a chance," he challenged.

   "I wouldn't say that," Danny said to him.

   "Why?"

    I answered before Danny can answer, "Getting cocky now, and just cus I'm a girl doesn't mean anything and I would take back your words 'cus me and Danny are going to crush you," I said.

   " Not literally, but she's got a point," Danny agreed. 

   "I wouldn't be so sure," a guy suddenly said. He had black shaggy hair and dark mysterious eyes and was naturally good lucking. He was also really tall about as tall as Aiden.

    I smiled at him," You must be Sam?" He nodded. "Well Sam, you must not be thinking right, right now because I can assure you that we will win."

   It looked like he was about to say something but Ervin cut him off and I smirked at him.

    "Ok enough chit chatting, while your running I advice for you to check your time on the timer over there," he informed pointing to a huge one on the other side of the track. "because you'll need your time when you finish. Ok go to the starting line."

   Danny and I went to the front and Aiden and Sam went next to us and I smiled.

    "Ok ready, go!" Ervin blows a whistle and we all start running.

    During the run we ran side by side and when we got to the last we ran to a full on sprint. I felt like I was about to die with sweat going down to my face and my hair sticking to it but I knew we had to win Aiden and Sam because I had to prove a point. That girls can do anything a guy can....even better.

   Aiden and I were in the front trying to outrun each other while behind us Sam and Danny were having their own race and Ari and Abby running at their normal pace right behind. When we got close to the finish line I started to run at my fastest and so did Aiden. When we crossed the line I wasn't sure who won but I did see that Sam won Danny. I sent him a sympathetic smile.

    I looked over at Aiden and couldn't stop myself from staring. He was sitting on the floor like a starfish and sweat dripping down his face. He didn't even look dirty he just looked relax and peaceful with a smile on his face; his beautiful curly hazel hair sticking to his face.

   Someone cleared their throat and I turned to look at Sam and Danny smirking and in return I glared at them. I gently kicked Aiden on his side but I'm not sure if it was actual a gentle kick.

   "Why did you kick me!" he said rubbing his side.

   "Oh come on it wasn't even a hard kick and plus you were just laying there. Did you see who won?" I told him.

   "If that was gentle I'm afraid of what's hard," he muttered. "And to answer your question no I didn't."

   "Oh I did, you guys were running the fastest I ever seen. Maybe even faster than me, for sure one of the best time in your age group."

  "Ok...but who won?"

   "No one."

   "What!?" Aiden and I said in unison.

   "I'm saying it was a tie."

    I abruptly turn to him,"We will have a rematch."

   In return he smirked, "Sure it's not like you'll win me."

   "Cocky much?"

  "Very."

   I was about to say something sarcastic but Danny interrupted me,"Ok guys stop flirting I'm starving and everyone is going to get breakfast,  real breakfast not the snack they gave us in the morning."

  I glared and Aiden and Sam nodded.

  While we were walking Aiden turns to Danny and I, "Can we sit with you guys, the people we sit with are so annoying." Sam nodded.

  "Sure I guess," I answered simply but I was kinda happy. Why? I don't know,  "You'll get to meet the other two of us."

  "Thanks! You have no idea how long I've been wanting to, but this guy over here never has the guts to sit with someone else! But I guess he finally had the guts to ask you, and Aiden doesn't talk to anyone, consider yourself special."

   Aiden glared at him while I grinned and foolishly answered with, "Oh."

   Aiden smirked at me, "It's true you are special Lia, there's just something about you."

 I rolled my eyes at his never-ending cheesiness, but smile secretly giddy at of how he thought of me.
  Ugh, what is this boy DOING to me? I need to get a hold of myself, even though I knew I didn't mind these feeling much...weird.
