Helanie:
She had fallen asleep, and I had gotten under my blanket to pretend to be sleeping when Lamar arrived.
He called my name in whispered a few times to check on me, but I pretended to be asleep too.
We had our first day at the academy in the morning, and we got the notification that it was going to be a running record. It's a kind of class where the trainers make groups and then hold these matches where they want their team members to cover more miles before the others.
I wanted to have good energy for the first class. The combat classes were coming up, and these were now physical exercises. I really wanted to do well and focus on my revenge now.
I woke up still upset because I couldn't get over Lucy's words.
"Morning!" Lamar said as he got ready in the red tracksuit. By the time I had come out of the bathroom, Lucy had already left for class.
"Morning," I gave him a faint smile, trying to keep the energy positive.
