Im showered and dressed well in time for breakfast so when my door unlocks I'm up on my feet and leaving my room.
I make quick work of getting into the hall and choosing breakfast this morning, pancakes. The easiest decision to make, I love them.
I go over to the sauce counter and put honey and lemon all over my pancakes then sit down to eat.
Bella and Becca arrive a minute later and grab themselves breakfast then they come and sit with me.
We're all digging into our food, munching away when holly and Tara come over to sit with us.
'Morgan told me about what happened with Dave' holly says, disapprovingly.
'It was a laugh, he was lucky he wasn't the one that had to clean it up' holly stares at me then says sarcastically
'Well if you hadn't of made the mess then there wouldn't have been any to clean' I humph in response and carry on eating.
As soon as I'm finished I clear my plate. As soon as I turn around Mr Tiz hands me a bottle of water and passes my medication. I take them under his watchful gaze then go to walk off.
'Hold it' he orders, I stop in my tracks and look at him and hum 'hmm' his eyes narrow now
'You got off lightly yesterday Hope, I don't want a repeat foaming on any of my staff, do you understand?' His stern voice makes me feel ashamed, 'yes sir, sorry sir' I mumble. Mr Tiz nods curtly then strides off. I swear the man has a thick rod up his ass sometimes.
I stroll out of the hall, right past Curtis who's just completely failed at door duty by not paying attention. I stroll into the lobby to find John, he slipped a note on my bedside table at some point to say I have to meet him straight after breakfast.
I open the door up when I see John walking across the path to the boys dorm block and call out for him. He turns and gestures for me to come over so I run over to him.
'Come along we have things to do' he says smiling, so I fall in behind him.
When we walk into the block we go to the hall,
'Wait there' John says then walks off, the younger boys start whistling at me until Max pushes back his chair and strides over to me, pulling me into him and claiming my lips in front of everyone. The whistles immediately stop and when I pull back from our kiss I can see the younger boys eating with their heads down.
'Why's John brought you here?' Max asks
'No idea he said we have things to do, whatever that means' John seems to be over what happened yesterday so I really do have no idea.
John walks back over to me with Morgan trailing behind him, as soon as he spots max he seems to be quite happy, it's strange.
'Just the person I was looking for' John says grabbing lightly onto Max's shoulder, Max looks to John, confusion written all over his face
'What? Why?' John doesn't answer his questions though, he just calls 'come along'.
John walks all three of us out then walks us to the outside of the gym.
'Any idea what this is all about?' Morgan asks, I shrug my shoulders, Max says cryptically
'I have a funny feeling we're about to find out'. Max's eyes are focused behind me and and Morgan, I turn around quickly and my face pales
'Please tell me that's not who I think it is' I say to myself, Morgan laughs, thinking this is funny
'That's Dave' his eyes then bug out 'what the fuck is he wearing?' Max and I groan simultaneously.
Max grabs my hand and drags me to where our laps have always started, Morgan trails behind us looking lost but he doesn't say anything. When Dave blows his whistle we run, knowing the drill, leaving poor Morgan to fend for himself, we're halfway around the first lap when I can hear Morgan catching up. His panting already.
When Morgan reaches us he looks half dead
'Why the fuck did it have to be him' he pants out 'how many of these do we have to do?' He asks, pausing his running. Max goes back and drags him along with us while telling him
'You really don't want to know but you best keep up, Dave's a fucking monster if you fall back'.
We keep running for hours. By the time we're on our 18th lap Morgan is basically dead weight.
'Let him go or we're never going to finish this' I pant while Dave starts blowing his whistle. We have no choice but to leave Morgan, we run and run and run.
...
Our forced run ends after the 40th lap around the school. As soon as I pass the starting point I fall onto the floor like a sack of potatoes, I'm probably covered in sweat and dust but I don't care. My body aches like a bitch. Max sits down trying to catch his breath for a moment, we don't get much time before Dave's whistle blows from behind us.
We climb to our feet and face Dave.
'Do not ever foam me again! I will not be a part of your childish pranks! I will double your laps if anything like this happens again to me' he shouts at us.
'I hope you two have learnt your lesson now get inside' Dave orders as John steps out of the gym's fire exit doors. Max grabs my hand and pulls me inside with him, following behind John.
'You have extra uniform waiting in the bathrooms, you have 10 minutes to shower and change or you will be eating through your lunch time'. I scamper into the bathroom and take a quick shower.
