     After lunch Ervin made us do a massive workout that I seriously died in the middle of. It consisted of so many push ups, sit ups, curl ups,  lunges, squats,  you get the point,  that at the end I swear I felt as weak as a sausage.

     "Break!" Ervin yelled when we finished the last set of suicides.

     "I thought we finished!" I yelled at him with frustration.

     "Get use to it, this is just the beginning, " Ervin smirked at me.

     I dropped myself on the floor dramatically, " No! This can't be, I'm slowly dying 'cuz of these tortures! Please someone call the ambulance! And............I'm dead." I layed there still.

    "Ignore her she's just being dramatic," Abby told Ervin.

    I automatically open my eyes and act hurt with my hand over my heart, "Fine I see, you don't care if I die! I thought our friendship was real!"

    Abby just rolls her eyes and Ervin, Ari, Sam, and Aiden just chuckle when they see me.

    Danny comes running to my side and dramatically picks up my head, "No Lia! Don't die on me! How will I live with these special people here, and I'mnot talking about the good special, we were the only smart people here!" He fakes whispers but in reality everyone could here him.

    I abruptly stand up, "Behold!! I am alive! I know, I know you were scares that I died but I fought off the sickness called, laziness!!! I am a SURVIVOR!"

    Danny and I stupidly put some distance between us and then run to each other, and when we meet up he hugs me and twirls me around.

    The gang and Ervin start laughing the Ervin tell Danny and I, "So you can do all that but you can't do some other exercises!"

     Danny and I just shrug and go to drink water skipping.

     After, our little theatre act, as Ervin called, it he made us do another rounds of all the exercises we did before but this time it actually seemed easier.

     Didn't make it any less tiring though.  
   We ended around 5pm, I don't get all the army time yet, and Ervin let us "free" as he says it, to go rest or just hang around.

    The gang and I went our separate ways to go to the lockers, because I think we can all say we needed a shower, and met where we decided and some grass field we saw.

     We were headed there passing many bushes when I notice something from the corner of my eye.

    "Um, I'll be right back...." I told Ari and Abby.

   "Where you going?" Ari asked.

   "Um I forgot something in the lockers it'll just take a second, go on without me. They nodded and I turned to see what that unusual thing was.
