A/N: I know it isn't Something Else but hey, I updated another story! : )

Anyway, this was a difficult one to write mostly because I didn't know how to handle Eva...like at all. XD So I'm not sure if she's still Eva throughout this...but meh...you guys be the judge. This is one isn't very shippy either, so sorry. : /

Disclaimer: Yeah...don't own nothing.

Eva stood at the Playa de Losers gym and looked over the exercise equipment available. It was her first time to use the resort's gym, surprisingly.

The buff girl had been angry at her sudden elimination and had opted to staying in her room. She took her anger out on destroying said room and when she cooled off she'd be working out furiously with her dumbbells. She only left the room to eat or watch elimination videos with the other ex-campers. Although sometimes one could find her at the pool area just to be around people (but mostly to admire Justin).

Needless to say people were very wary of Eva and her room.

Weeks later Eva was still angry but just not as angry as she was. She selected a new room and was almost approachable. Most didn't try however.

Humph I don't blame them, Eva thought to herself.

Turning on her mp3 player she decided to use the treadmill. Setting up her options on the machine Eva became unaware of what was going on outside of her workout and music.

Peace…

Said peace lasted ten minutes before being interrupted by a bunch of loud banging sounds. Eva turned around to see the shelf that held all the dumbbells had been knocked over. A very pale looking Cody just stood there stared at the mess.

Eva growled annoyed, "What do you think you're doing shrimp?"

Cody started, "Meep!"

Rolling her eyes, Eva turned the treadmill and her mp3 player off. She started walking towards the shaking boy.

"I asked you a question and I expect an answer."

Cody swallowed hard. "I was just…I wanted to work out and I couldn't pick the…and it dropped."

Evan raised her unibrow at the jumbled mess of an explanation.

Well, I guess I can understand why he wanted to work out, the kid's a twig.

Looking him over she noticed faint scratches all over his body and his face had a few bandages. Realization came to her.

"Hey, you're the guy that got mauled by the bear."

Cody nodded.

She grinned, "Impressive."

"Y-yeah?"

Eva nodded. "I've wrestled bears before and they're not something to mess with," she pointed to his skinny frame, "yet you, a stick of a guy, survived getting mauled from one. I gotta give you credit for that."

Cody grinned. "Yeah?"

She rolled her eyes but nodded at his question. "Now, I respect someone who wants to get stronger and I know it's none of my business, but why are you trying to hurt yourself?"

"I'm not! I just wanted to just…I don't know, really."

Eva looked back at the mess of dumbbells. "Well, if you try something you're not ready for you'll probably end up back in the hospital."

Cody looked sheepish, "Well, I got most of my physical therapy done…I just thought I could workout or something and get stronger."

"Well, the first thing you should know when it comes to getting stronger: don't rush it."

She gestured to herself. "Do you think I was born like this?"

He opened his mouth but Eva didn't let him answer. "No, I had to work on it…for years and I'm still working."

"Oh."

Eva smirked as he looked to be having second thoughts on working out.

Just another guy who doesn't want to go all the way.

She turned back to the treadmill and remembered how her workout was interrupted.

Annoyed she growled, "be sure to clean that mess before you leave."

"Um…Eva?"

She turned around, "What?"

Cody jumped but steadied himself. "I was just wondering if…you'd I dunno…help me?"

"Excuse me?"

He swallowed. "I just…I want to get stronger and I'm hoping you'll help with a few pointers, in case I do something wrong?"

Maybe I was wrong.

"Humph and what would I get out of this? I have my own workout to focus on."

"Oh, well…I could…well, let's see do you have any summer homework?"

"Yeah…it's just a bunch of crap I could care less about but my coach made me take it with me."

Cody grinned. "In exchange for your help I'll help you with your homework!"

"How about you just do it all?"

"No way!"

Boy, did he have some nerve…

"What do you mean 'no way'?" Eva asked irritated.

He smiled. "Well, it's kinda like you said earlier…I wasn't born good at school work I had to work on it."

Her eyes widened at the comparison.

"I'd like to help you out so you won't need help or someone else to do it…wouldn't you feel better if it was all you?"

Now that she thought about it…it would be nice to excel at something other than physical stuff. She wasn't dumb. She just wasn't interested in school…it was boring.

Maybe he can help me.

"Hmph, I guess you have a point," she crossed her arms and sighed. "Fine we have a deal."

Cody's face broke into a grin. "Really?"

"Yeah just don't tell anyone, okay?"

"You got it!"

"Good, now get out of here before I change my mind!"

Cody chuckled before walking out of the gym, the mess totally forgotten.

Eva shook her head at the mess.

Whatever…the staff will get it.

She turned back to the treadmill and continued her workout.

The kid's not too bad.

End Notes: Yeah, I still don't think I got Eva right.

I was thinking about after going through all the girls that I'd write a chapter of them in an actual relationship...not too sure how it would work though. : / It was just thought...and also should I include Sierra into the mix (that would mean a title change, right? XD) too?

Anywhooo...thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it. : )

Tell me what you thought of the chapter bad/good/indifferent...just whatever!
