Broken Romance
Cody's point of view
I needed to get over her as fast as possible, some say it would be stupid, but not really. I did everything I could to make this date perfect, I even did a practice date with London, it was probably dumb, but my heart was in the right place. What did I get in return for my effort, A broken heart. I reach into my wallet and found two-hundred dollars, it was for the date, but now I've found a better reason to spend this money. I went into a music store and bough an acoustic guitar, and took it back to the ship into my cabin. I strummed a few notes, tweaked the tuning a bit, and strummed them again. 'Yeah that sounds better' I though to myself, and started to play. Woody came into the cabin a little later, I looked at him and said "Hey Woodchuck, where have you been tonight buddy?" he looked at me and said "Well me and Zach had a stolen painting, got captured by spies, had to jump off a plane with only one parachute, and nearly hit the pointy top of the Eiffel Tower, yep that pretty much covers it" I only had one though in my mind 'Wow'. I strummed a few more guitar notes and Woody ask "Cody, what are you doing with a guitar?" I looked at him and replied "Playing." I put the guitar down and went to bed as it was almost mid-night. It was strange, I wasn't sad about my break-up with Bailey, I was happy, relieved.
I woke up the next morning and went to Zach's room "Hey Zack-attack wake up buddy" he looks at me and says "Code-red what do you want?" I said "Hey man can I burrow some of your workout clothes, I'm going to the gym." He waves me off half asleep "Sure man whatever, let me go back to sleep." I walk into his closet and found a tee shirt and gym shorts with a pair socks and Nike tennis shoes. I put them on, and walk off to the gym, I start off by stretching, jumping jacks, sit ups, and push ups, as a warm up. I get on a treadmill and start running at the steady pace of 5 miles per hour, and I keep it up for half an hour, then I stop and move on to lifting weights, after doing that for about 20 minutes, I get back on the treadmill and run 2.5 miles per hour for ten minutes, stop and then stretch out. I felt a little sore, but I felt great. Adrenaline pumping through my veins, I knew I accomplish something really important, I have taken the first step to improvement of myself. Now all I had to do was continue on this path, but I need help, I need guidance, I need Zach. I though to myself 'Crazy, who would ever guess you'd ever need Zach for anything.' I run out of the gym and onto the Sky Deck, where I found Zach working at the smoothie bar, there with him was Maracas, and Woody. I walk up calmly "Hey Zach-attack I need your help bro." He grins at me and says "Sure what's up Code-red?" I look at him, I never though this would happen but it was, I spoke "I need you to help me be more like you." Zach, Maracas, and Woody all laugh. After a few seconds they all calm down and Zach looks at my calm straight face and says " Oh you were serious?" It was a question, it was a statement, I simply nod.
