(The picture is the closest I could find to how I imagined Caleb, who did you picture?)

I sat for a moment, confusion spreading across my face. There was no way Caleb could have done that! I should have been squashed by his weight, before I could begin questioning him, he spoke up: "you're not gonna charge me for this lap dance, are you?" Ugh. He was such an ogre.

Storming out of my room, I headed towards where I had seen the gym on my way in. Surprisingly, Caleb hadn't followed. Good. As I walked into the gym, I was taken aback by all the machines, there was one that just didn't even look like a body could fit/sit/stand or whatever you do on it, at least not without breaking a few bones! What was this torture!? Looking around, my eyes finally came to rest on the most beautiful man in the world, I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped.

"Harrington. Everyone else has already gone outside with their trainers, sadly for you, one trainer is on maternity leave so that leaves you with me. Gear up. You need to make up for lost time."

I stood and stared blankly, partly because I couldn't believe the angel in front of me was real and part because I had no clue where I was supposed to 'gear up'. He looked up from where he was packing a sports bag and raised a questioning eyebrow. "I...um....wh..." I once again found myself stuttering, my brain refusing to connect with my mouth. He stood up straight and walked towards me, he came so close to me that I could smell his minty breath. I looked up and noticed he was scanning my face, as if searching for something.

"Changing rooms are that way. Your uniform is in your locker" I nodded and half ran to where he pointed.
When I finally reached a locker that had 'A. HARRINGTON' (assuming it was mine) I opened it to find my sports wear, which actually wasn't bad, considering the other uniform they made us wear. Getting changed at lightning speed, I walked back to the main gym.

"Twenty-seven laps for each minute you kept me waiting" I groaned, but not wanting to annoy the beautiful man, I started a light jog around the huge gym. Five laps in and I was ready to pass out, I wasn't exactly what you would call an athletic girl, my exercise regime at home had been getting out of bed in the morning, lord knows that was tiresome. My brain began wandering as I caught a glimpse of my trainer, he was so hot. Before I could drool, he snapped his head up and watched me. I blushed, which thankfully wasn't noticeable since I was already red from running. I wonder what his name is?

"Hunter." Huh? Confused at his random word calling I didn't notice the ball lying on the ground and as gracefully as one can, I tumbled right over it, sharp pain split up from my ankle but I held in the scream that wanted to escape. Hot trainer (I really should learn his name) was by my side in an instant, what was it with all the guys around here being really fast? That was my last thought as I finally blacked out from the pain. I was sure a bone had broken through my skin.

I woke to the sound of quiet chatter, "...explain this? It will have to be told before schedule..." Before I could hear anymore, I fell back into a slumber... for a while I was in a constant state of waking up then falling asleep after no longer than a minute, I felt so lost. "...A Harrington none the less..." "...O'Connor is watching over..." "...prophecy..." "...she should come round any time soon, the power will be wearing off..." "...Won't remember..."

Finally I opened my eyes and didn't feel as if a family of hippos were sitting on my head. I stretched feeling as if I had been lying down for years without movement. I was about to get up when I suddenly remembered why I was here in the first place, flinging off my blankets, expecting to see a cast or amputated foot, I was surprised to see my ankles and feet were perfectly fine!
"What the hell-"
"Ah sleeping beauty awakens" I rolled my eyes and looked over at Caleb "what am I doing here?" I asked, a flash of something passed across Caleb's face but he quickly replaced it with his goofy grin, "you were wagging class, remember? I came to get you before Cherub finds out" what?
"No, my ankle broke, I remember in gym I fell over, I heard and felt the snap!" Why was he lying?
"You're confused princess, it must have just been a realistic dream... now come on! You have pampering 101! Delilah will have your head if you don't hurry" I grumbled, confused. Surely it wasn't a dream, I remember it all? But then again, I used to have some really vivid dreams as a kid, I was always mistaking reality with my dreams, I once didn't talk to Xander for a whole week because I thought he had eaten my pizza (but apparently I also sleep eat because it was actually me) So I decided to brush it off and head over to pampering 101, I liked the sound of that class.
