The Mystery Replacement

Chapter 3

"Toni! Toni! Wake up! We are so dead!"
I hear some shouting at me as they shake my body.

I shoot up and see out the bed and see Alex frantically pulling gin her shoes

"shit, what time is it?" I question jumping out my bed and putting my shoes on myself

"6:20, Jill us going to murder us," Alex says looking a little stressed.

After she's told me were only 20 minutes late I calm down a little knowing there's nothing to worry about

"Alex, trust me, we'll be fine," I say smiling and open the door for us both to leave

We walk down and I can see Alex is trying to hide the fact she's a little nervous as to what Jill might do.

"Just let me do the talking," I say giving her a wink as I walk through the doors

As expected, all eyes turn to look at us most of them with sympathy as they expect for us to get a bollocking from Jill

"Sorry we're late Jill, overslept, I'll buy you your favorite," I say and flash her my famous smile that seems to get me out of everything

"Thanks Toni, you and Alex just take a seat," She says and I grab Alex hand, pulling her in the direction of the free seats on the table with Ash, Ali, Kelley, and Christen.

"Yo, what the fuck just happened," Kelley says as I sit down with Alex

"what do you mean?" I ask

"Jill just let you off like it was nothing, we would have to do 10 laps if we where a minute late," Tobin says to me

"I know Jill's weaknesses," I say smirking as I grab my place and walk over to the food.

As I'm filling my plate up I can tell someone's behind me.

"I have to say I'm very impressed, you got the whole table quite for once," Alex says and I look back to see the rest of them sitting there looking very stunned.

"I guess you're right," I say smirking at her.

The rest of the night goes okay, I'm interrogated some more but I don't answer any questions about my past, there's no need for them to know any of that.

We all head up to our rooms and crash early since we've got training tomorrow and I'm going to head out before everyone else just to warm up my soccer feet a bit.

••••••••••••

My alarm starts blaring and I quickly turn it off not wanting to wake Alex up any earlier than necessary. I tiptoe to my wardrobe and get changed into the training gear Jill gave me last night and quietly grab all the things I need.

I slip out of our room taking one last glance at Alex still sleeping curled up in a ball before heading down to reception.

I go to the reception and see the same lady from yesterday

"good morning ma'am," I say smiling at her.

"Toni right? How can I help you this early in the morning" She asks me
