We hit a bump in the road that brings me out of that happy memory. “Hang on. The rest of the ride is going to be rough. We usually run out here.” Nickolas’ gruff voice carries back as we slow down slightly to accommodate the dips and bumps in the trail. “Why not make us run then? I don’t understa
I start to doze off, but can’t quite find sleep. I have no idea how long we have been driving at this point, but my butt is numb, even in these cushy leather seats. Mina is out like a light next to me, but I can’t seem to get Nickolas’ words out of my head. ‘I have a bad feeling about this missi
We walk in silence through the rest of the short hallway. It seems to be dark gray metal with I beams reinforcing the walls and ceilings every ten feet or so.

“I can’t wait to go back to the compound, I want to train and run hard, my body needs it. I feel so lazy right now.” I whine at Mina in our shared room of the rental property. We just got back from shopping and meeting up for dinner with some other college freshman we met a couple weeks ago. We h
I have been emailing in most of my assignments and logging in when the teacher can set up a video so I can follow along with the classes. For the most part, Mina joins in on those classes otherwise her dad would hear about her slacking and would pull her from this assignment. That is something we bo
