Training

Working Time

I woke up to rough shaking by an ombre haired girl. She had blue eyes that showed amusement in them.

"Huh...where am I?!" I said, jolting up to face the girl. She looked amazing in some exercise gear.

"Have you forgotten so soon? You're in training camp." I moaned and rubbed my head before sitting up. That was when I noticed she was holding two Starbucks' coffees, one in each hand.

"Oh no! The schedule!" I glanced at it pinned on a bulletin board in the room and groaned. "What time is it?"

Ombre girl grimaced. "It's seven thirty. You were supposed to have dressed, exercised and warmed up downstairs with your trainer an hour and thirty minutes ago. Real training starts by eight thirty and you haven't drunk an energy drink."

My face fell as I realized how behind I was. Just a day in and I'd already failed. It dawned on me that I wouldn't make it there. I had to call and get out of this place!

"Do you have your phone here? I need to make a call...please." Ombre haired girl smiled knowingly.

"Call who?"

"Um...no one?"

She sat close to me and held out her hand.
"I'm Rachael Kent. You can make it if you get dressed now." I smiled at Rachael genuinely.

"I appreciate the help, Rachael but I don't even know what to dress up for!." Rachael got up and glanced at the schedule once again.

"Your coffee is cold, and you need to drink the energy drink right now." She handed me a drink.

"Um...I haven't brushed my teeth. " Rachael rolled her eyes and dragged me from my sitting position.

"Get into the shower! Now!"

        Without Rachael, I would have never made it. I had been rushed in everything from bathing, getting dressed, warming up (AKA intense exercise) and downing my energy drink in big gulps. Now, we were walking to the same room I had met my trainer for training.

"The key is to swing your saber at the right moment. Never show fear." Rachael was saying.

I glanced down at my black and blue suit complete with a black and blue saber. Oh gosh, kill me now. I couldn't do this!!!. Rachael turned to me just before we walked into the training arena.

"You okay?" I swallowed and shook my head.

"I'm not gonna lie. I'm not okay. I've never done this in my life...and why are we fighting with sabers anyway?!" Rachael opened the door.

"You'll find out."

             We walked in to be faced with intense training going on. Rachael walked rapidly over to the rest of the blue blacks and muttered; "Go to your trainer now."
I walked up to Jax and tapped his arm.

"Uh...hi...I -" Jax cut me off abruptly.

"You're late. Where were you?" I blushed as I remembered being woken up by rough shaking courtesy of Rachael.

"I was, um, you know, getting ready for all this." Jax raised an eyebrow.

"Overslept?" I sighed. "Well, yeah." His brows furrowed as he turned to face me fully.

"Well, I'm sorry." I was confused.

"Wait, why are you apologising?" Jax bent his head sheepishly.

"Don't remember our late tour last night?" I blushed furiously as I remembered our little moments in between the tour.

Just as I opened my mouth to reply, Levon cut me off from the front of the room.

"Glow, care to start training with Jax or you want to keep on discussing irrelevant topics?" I bent my head sheepishly and clutched my saber tighter.
