“Two more days until we get our girls back bro.” Ethan says to me. “We’d better get in as much practicing as we can.”
“It’s been a great week.” I type as I reminisce of the past few days. Ethan and I have been in hard core training mode this week. An all protein diet and intense football practice. The past few days we have been working on just building our muscle and strength up. I need to build up as much muscle as well as cut my body fat. This will help me to block my opponents better, tackle harder, and above all, just overpower my opponents. Ethan and I have been working on a set routine of full body exercises that involve two exercises per major body part. Yesterday, we added in some heavy weight lifting. This will help us to apply as

On school days this place is usually packed. Today since there are no classes, the place is barren. Only us and a few other cars here today. It’s nice not having to fight for a parking space or circling the whole lot two or three times before finding an open parking spot.
“It’s going to be a hot one today!” Ethan remarks as he gets out of his car.
I feel the rays of the sun warming my face as I get out of the air conditioned vehicle. “Yes it is.” I type.
“We probably won’t get in as long of a work out today as I thought.” Ethan says.
“We can.” I type. “We will just have to break it up into smaller circuits and make sure we cool down and hydrate in between.”
“Let’s just see how we feel after the first circuit and go from there.” Ethan suggests.
“What? You don’t think you can handle a little heat?” I type challenging him.
“I can handle anything, I’m a man.” Ethan says as he beats his chest.
“Let’s warm up with a lap or two around the field.” I type as I set my bag down on the bleachers and run out to the field.
“Wait up!” Ethan yells as he throws his things beside mine and runs over to catch

We will get you all hydrated up and you should be good to go. Just to be on the safe side, we will perform another CT scan on your brain to make sure it was not affected.
“Sounds good Doc.” I type. “We don’t need to inform Riley of this right?”
“Well, I did ask nurse Daisy to contact Riley just to let her know what happened and that everything should be okay with you. I can page her and see if she was able to get a hold of Riley yet and if she hasn’t then I will tell her that you request her not knowing.” Dr. Harley tells me.
“Thanks. She is on a trip with Sam and I don’t want her to worry about anything she doesn’t have to.” I type. “As long as it’s nothing serious I think this one can slide.”
“On that note, let’s get you prepped for your scan.” Dr. Harley says as he claps his hands together.
“I will have my fingers crossed that everything still looks good on my scan.” I type.
“I will do the same.” The doctor says. “Next time, try not to push yourself so hard out there. With or without a brain injury, extreme heat is hard on the body, especially if you are working out in it.”
“Sorry, I will be more careful next time.” I

    "Yes, I need to request a pick up for two students, one is injured," Olen said to the office through the phone still keeping an eye on Sonia. Annabelle was being comforted by her brother and friends while Sonia sat far from her clique to prevent any further accidents, they were an even bigger problem. Olen walked to her, after he hung up, and began to question why she had committed herself to hurt Annabelle if they were sat far apart for reason.

"Sonia, this will not land you in any more week suspensions from one class, they might expel you for harming another student, this is a risk towards your education and future."…

    It was a warm and cozy afternoon, with the temperature reaching 75 degrees at max. The sun rays were still shining brightly, casting shadows across a wide field full of green grass. The sounds of various birds chirping can be heard clearly everywhere, and occasionally a butterfly would fly around, landing gently on the ever-fragile petals of the clarie flowers. Right next to the field was the woods of the Kaiboro Forest, a mysterious place full of never-ending clumps of trees(that was so an exaggeration... it is small in a way but hard to navigate so no one has ventured in it much)...…

Loki did, and a moment later they were flying. Tony was flying slower than usual, since he had an unarmored companion on his back, but still they were whipping through the sky, almost silently around the mostly-quiet, mostly-dark skyscrapers.…
