*Corbyn's POV*

"Okay. Corbyn, we're gonna do some sprints. You ready?" Zach said while looking at his stopwatch.

"Oh! Ah! No, wait!" I screamed like a girl but I couldn't care less at the moment because...THERE IS A DOG CHASING ME RIGHT NOW. I ABSOLUTELY HATE DOGS.

I started to run for my life, not that I actually have one, but still.

"Sweet!" Zach shouted still looking at the stopwatch.

"No! Ah!" I screamed again hoping to get Zach's attention.

"Corbyn? Corbyn!" Zach yelled running after me.

I kept on looking back to make sure the freaky dog wasn't too close to me. I managed to run into the nearby 'forest' that was attached to the tourney field.

"No, stop!" I climbed up half-way to the top of a humongous tree.

"Corbyn!" I heard Zach yell as I turned my head back looking at the dog with  brown fur.

"Zach? Zach?" I said as my breathing got faster.

"Whoa-Whoa-Whoa!" Zach started to pet the dog as if he wasn't even scared of the dog. Huh.

"Ben, help me! This thing is a killer! He's gonna chase me down and rip out my throat. This is a vicious, rabid pack animal!" I yelled out even though Zach was only a few inches away from me.

"Hey, who told you that?"

"My mother"

"Saskia?"

"She's a dog expert. A dog yellerer. Why are you holding him? He's gonna attack you!" I hugged the tree. Never thought I would be doing that.

"Corbyn, you've never actually met a dog, have you?"

"Of course not"

"Dude, meet Corbyn. Corbyn, this is dude. He's the campus mutt"

"He doesn't look like a vicious, rabid pack animal. Jeez" I climbed down the tree and held Dude, "You're a good boy, aren't you? You're a good boy" I rubbed my hand across his fur.

"I guess you guys have it pretty rough on the island" Zach said.

"Yeah. Let's just say we don't get a lot of belly rubs" I laughed.

"Good boy. I mean, you're a good runner. You're... you're fast, you know"

"Oh. Yeah. Thank you" Wow. Zach's really nice huh.

"Yeah. Listen, I'm gonna give you guys some space, yeah? You guys get to know each other and just, you know, come find me when you're done, okay?" Zach said while walking back to the tourney field.

"Okay" I simply replied still busy giving Dude a belly rub.

"I'll see you later"

"See you out there"
