It was morning. Chris stood at the edge of my bed trying to shake me awake.
"Ally! Wake up Ally!" he said.
It was Saturday so Chris didn't have to go to school.
"I'm awake. I'm awake." I said looking at Chris and then glancing at the clock. "Five thirty! Are you insane?"
"This is the time we have to be up for training." Chris said. "Put this on. My mom bought us matching jump suits. Just wear it, it will make her happy. She also took pictures of a ton of clothes because she's buying you a new wardrobe. You just need to pick out the ones you like."
"Why couldn't we just grab the clothes from my house?" I said.
"Did I forget to mention that your house is under lock down and no one can get in or out?" Chris said hesitantly.
"No!" I said angrily.
"Well it is." Chris said. "Now hurry up and get dressed. I'll meet you in the basement."
I walked downstairs dressed in the clothes Chris's mom got me. He was waiting for me.
"Now the real challenge begins." he said.
"Ready for your first piece of training Ally?" Chris's dad asked. "Well too bad were going to do it anyways. Ha ha ha. Now do you see that tredmile over there?"
"Yeah." I replied. It was a tredmile, I'm pretty sure everybody knows what that is.
"Now I want you to get on it, and run twenty six miles." Chris's dad said. "You can go do the usual Chris. The two of you have until lunch to finish your assignment. See you then."
"Isn't this exciting Ally?" Chris said.
"Yeah." I said sarcastically.
"Well good luck." Chris said before running off.
I got on the tredmile and started running. Was I excited? No! Chris was over in the corner doing crazy flips and all these cool mind tricks while I was running on a tredmile. Twenty six miles was a lot! I had never done anything like this before and already felt as if I was dying. Chris's parents were showing obvious favoritism and I did not like it. My life was about to turn long and boaring.
