22 Little Chit Chat and Big Talk

"I wanna taste her lip, yeah cause they taste like you
I wanna drown myself in a bottle of her perfume"

Athena's PoV

The next morning we had to wake up early for the training. Ray was the one who woke us up.

"Come on, chop-chop, we gotta go, kids," He said to us in his over-enthusiastic voice. I looked at Noah and burst out laughing. He looked so annoyed this early.

In less than 10mins, we were outside the training hall.  The others were already inside. There were 6 people other than Angie and us.

"The three of you were supposed to be here 5 mins ago," Angie said coming towards us. "Tyson wasn't awake," Ray said defending us. Noah just shrugged.

"Everyone, shut your yaps now and listen carefully to me now. I won't repeat it again." Angie shouted and the room turned quiet. "Today is your first day of training. We will divide you into batches of 3, so there will be 3 batches. Each group will train a different way every day. The names are on the paper there, jog there and find your group," Angie continued, pointing at the far off wall that was almost 500 meters away from us.

We all began to jog towards there, Noah and Ray not leaving my side. I took up the pace and reached faster than them. I expected us to be together but it was not like that. Ray and Noah were together and I was with 2 other blondes -Pete and Viv.

"How come I get to be with Mr.Grumpy here," Ray pouted.  Deep down I kind of wished I could be with Noah. It would have been easier for us to work.

"Enjoy boys, I'm going to my group, see you during lunch," I said and walked away, laughing at Ray groaning.

Angie told us that today we would see our speed. We had to go around the whole house 3 times and we would be timed. The house was of 7 floors. I looked over at Noah and Ray, they seemed to be doing weights.

"Run," Angie said and we began. In the starting I was leading, but then Pete took the lead. "Zoey, come on. Take some rest," Pete said mockingly. Pig!

We finished one round in 8 minutes and were now on our second round. Viv was behind us the whole time, not caring about being first.

One the first floor at the corner, Pete suddenly slowed down and I took my chance and took over him. "What happened sweetie, tired so soon?" I mocked him turning around and back running. Pete had his eyes wide opened, which confused me.

Then I felt it. I bumped in a hard surface, more like a hard body. Before I could turn around to apologize I heard him chuckling.

"Slow down there, love, You could hurt yourself" I heard him say as I turned around. I soon met the brown eyes and the face that had a soft smile on it.

Ace nodded his head and Pete and Viv left me and continued running. "So, your training has begun," Ace says and I nod. "And seeing you all run around, I am guessing today is speed," Ace says and I nod again.

"And you are slowing me down here with our little chit chat, so can I go now? Those both are already long way ahead of me," I said looking behind him and seeing that the boys are long gone.

"You won't be punished if you go a little slowly, love," Ace said grinning. "I know but I would like to be the first to reach, so now if you will excuse me, I gotta run," I say and began running away from Ace.

"See you after lunch," I heard him say. What was happening after lunch?

I finished the second round late and saw the guys waiting for me near Angie. "You are slow this round Zoey," Angie says. "Ace... I mean Mr.Carter came in between" I said and Angie nodded, but I could see a smile lingering on her lips.
