Sorry it's a bit late and a bit (cough, cough) short!

Chapter Five
Spence was only concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other. He had never realised how long it took to run to the exercise oval. One more corner until he was there. He was sure Alex was ahead of him and he could see Temperance's hair swishing in front of him. Swish, swish...
Spence could finally see Wolf and Hawk up ahead talking and Eagle standing close by. Everyone congregated in a circle, panting, and looked toward the leaders.
'Ok, we are going to follow Hawk now, so everyone, do what Hawk does,' Wolf announced, cheeky smile on his face. 'Lucky you, getting to do sit ups,' he chuckled at Hawk.
Hawk winked at him, smiled at everybody else and clapped his hands together.
Fifty start-jumps later, Hawk stopped star-jumping and began doing sit ups. Spence looked over to Temperance who was keeping up quite easily but looked annoyed.
After a little while, during push ups, Spence watched the sun slowly creep over the trees. It was a bright orange colour and looked more like a sunset.

Temperance was thoroughly irritated. Her mood was getting worse, she was hungry, she was irritated and she was hungry. Did she mention she was annoyed? She could also feel a headache coming on.
Because of certain circumstances, the obstacle course was to be run after canoeing, which was happening an hour earlier. This meant the obstacle course was to be run after sunset with the huge lights shining down on them. Perfect.
Temperance made her way to lunch with a very hungry stomach. She sat down next to Spence and Aaron, who she wasn't entirely happy with. Hawk smiled at her from the other side of the table.
They were called up one at a time to get the food that was being served for lunch. Temperance put as much as she could have on her plate before sitting down again. She muttered a quick grace before shoving her mouth full of potato bake.
Hawk seemed amused that she was so hungry as he got up to get his own food. She smiled after him before piling carrots onto her spoon.
'Gee, your hungry today,' Spence pointed out as he came back from the kitchen. He sat down and started eating his own food slowly.
'I've got a surprise for you all!' Mr Mills called from the door.
Even the leaders looked worried, thinking about what he could possibly add to their schedule.
