8:56 AM

When the van stopped outside of Blackthorne we all filed out, breathing in the fresh air that was lacking in the packed van.

"Hey Cammie, I was thinking, would you like to study in the library with me later?" Ethan asked with hopeful eyes.

I just stood there for a few seconds stumped. I didn't some here to get a boyfriend, actually I didn't even get a choice whether I came here but I need to stay focused on the task and can't get distracted by boys, no matter how hot they are.

"Sorry Ethan, I would love to but I've only been in class one day and I still need time to settle in", a plan was forming in my head to better my skills and keep away from any distractions.

"Oh, that's ok I guess" he had a fallen look on his face as he trudged away, I felt bad for rejecting him but I just couldn't handle it right now.

I waited around with the rest of the group, ignoring the stares until we were excused and I walked briskly up to my room. My room was well away from the boys, joes doing probably and the boys hadn't worked out where my room was, though I had heard them whisper about it when they though it wasn't listening.

I sneaked into my room and quickly got changed into a sports bra and shorts, I wasn't planning on a any boys seeing me but I put a long jacket on over the top anyway. I had to admit looking in the full length mirror, I looked hot. My body was toned and muscled, without any flab or fat. My long blonde hair was tied up in a pony tail and my shorts showed off my long legs, too bad I wasn't interested in impressing anyone.

I sneaked out of my room, walking down the hallway while listening for any people that may be approaching. I made my way through the corridors until I came to the exit leading to the oval.

Unfortunately, there was no girls change room ,as I was presently the only girl, so I dropped my water bottle near the edge of the field and took of my jacket, leaving slightly cold under the clouds.

I started running, eager to raise my fitness levels and reflect on the Cove Ops today. My breathing was steady and I wasn't sweating, yet. I kept on running, calculating instantaneously that this was my 10th mile. Annoyingly, I heard someone coming up behind me.

"Hey Gallagher Girl, nice outfit"

I rolled my eyes at him as he ran next to me, "Don't you have anywhere else to be besides here?"

"I'm hurt Gallagher Girl, it's like do don't appreciate my company"

I ignored his statement, "Aren't you here to run? I'll race you back to the start line" I said, taking off without caring whether he was following. I saw him in my peripheral vision and I sped up to my limit, pushing myself to run faster. He stayed side by side with him and we finished at the exact millisecond.

"Well this sucks, neither of us won" I was so ready to rub it in his face, he's actually pretty fast.

"Who knew that a newbie could run so well"

"Who knew that Mr Flabby could keep up"

"I am not flabby"

"You sure are"

"I have an eight pack"

By this point we were both in the guys changing room, no idea why we walked in here since I wasn't a guy but no one else was in here and the attraction was radiating off both of us.

"There is no way you have an eight pack" I was goading him, but wasn't sure if it worked until he put his fingers at the hem of his shirt and raised it slowly over his head so I could see every muscled on his sculptured body. Ok I admit he had to hottest body I have ever seen, totally ripped.

He look at me with a smirk.

"I guess it's alright"

He snorted "Yeah and you are just pretty"

I gasped, he called me pretty, well more than pretty. He took I step closer and I gasped in oxygen. I don't want to think about what would have happened if a boy didn't walk into the change room and see us standing extremely close, so close I could feel his breath.

The boy was tall and ripped, like they all were and he had blonde hair and blue eyes that shined under the lights.

I jumped away from Zach, feeling my cheeks going annoyingly red, Zach just smirked. The boy stood there looking at us and I felt obliged to say "There is nothing going on between us". I don't know who it was to but I walked out of the change rooms as quickly as I could manage and headed back to my room, my jacket slung on one shoulder.

On the way back I bumped into Ethan, just my luck. He look at was I was wearing and we both went a little red.

"I was just heading back to my room", I said, scooting passed him. I made it back to my room, mortified and had a long shower before heading to the dining hall wearing light shorts and top with sandals.

I entered the hall and was one of the first ones there, so I grabbed the dinner of Spaghetti Carbonara and sat down by myself to start eating. Spy food was good!

It was only when my plate was almost empty that I heard a voice behind me, "Going somewhere?"

"Sorry Zach, places to be, people to see" I said, getting up from the table and going to put my plate away.

He followed me, "Who are these people you are going to see?".

"Urgh can you just leave me alone Zach, I've had enough embarrassment for one day"

"I'm not here to embarrass you, let's just call it friends".

"Friends" I tried out the word and liked it.

"Well friend, I am going to my room and will see you tomorrow" I grinned at him and he grinned back, this might just be fun.
