Early morning work-out ~Open~

[kristen gregory]

It was early Saturday morning, around six, and Kristen could be found making her way to the gym. Most people would think her crazy. She was wasting one of her days that she was able to sleep-in to go work out? But Kristen didn't really care what people thought. One of the ways that she blew off steam, was by working out and playing soccer.

Last night had been another bad night in the Gregory household. First of all, Kristen's father had come home drunk. No surprises there. But, he'd been more mean then usual. Kristen had made her younger brother get the twins out of the house, and Kristen had made sure that her father hadn't beat her mother. Basically, Kristen was the person holding her family together, making sure that nothing too horrible happened. And it was all because of her father. Honestly, why didn't her mother just kick him out?

Kristen was determined never to fall for a guy like that. But, she was told all the time that she was a lot like her mother, so she was scared that that was exactly what would happen. That's why Kristen stayed away from relationships. She flirted here and there, and had even had flings here and there; but nothing ever lasted. Basically because Kristen never let them last. She never let herself fall for a guy.

Kris was wearing short black shorts, a pink tank top, and her black nike shoes. She entered the gym, and there were only a couple of people there. She made her way to the weights, and started lifting; counting mentally in her head. Kristen was in very good shape, and she was a good soccer player. She was the type of girl to not be concerned at all if she broke a nail or what not. She played hard, so she got banged up. No big deal to her. In fact, she was known to show off the scars that she'd received over the years from soccer, and by being restless.

She continued to lift, as she tried hard to keep her thoughts from her father. She instead, tried to concentrate on her friends. They had gotten her through a lot; especially this year now that they knew about her father and her home-life. And she really didn't know what she'd do without them. She breathed in and out as she lifted, her attention completely on the weights and her work-out. So far, she felt that she was blowing off steam pretty well. The anger was slowly fading away. But she knew that once she returned home, it would be back.

Hayden walked into the large nearly empty gym. Yeah she was in the gym at 6 am on a Saturday. So what? She need to stay in shape for soccer season. Acually she just needed to get away. Not from anything in particular but latley she'd beren feeling....belittled by her dad. Everything she did was wrong, nothing was ever up to standard. Whatever.

She felt strong and un beatable when she worked out. No one could tell her she wasn't good enough. Not here or on the field. She was the best. She played with the best, even though she was only a freshman.

Hayden headed over to the weights. Seeing someone was already there as well, she grabbbed a couple weights and did curls a few feet away. The girl seemed distressed. Hayden looked over more closly and saw it was Kristen Gregory, fellow soccer player and Pretty Committee memeber.

[kristen gregory]

Kristen was so lost in thought that she didn't notice Hayden for awhile. Kristen thought that Hayden was a really good soccer player. A great asset to the team. She thought it was awesome that Hayden was here at six in the morning working out. It showed the dedication that Hayden was willing to prove.

"Oh hey Haden. Sorry, didn't see you there," she said cheerfully.

"I see I'm not the only crazy one who gets up early on Saturday to work out," she commented with a slight grin.

[hayden adams]

Hayden smiled at Kristen. " Hey. No only the really good players are crazy enough to get up at 6 am on a Saturday" she laughed. She really liked kristen. She was the only nice Pretty Committee member, that was HAyden's opinion anyway.

She switched to wrist rocks. "You ready for the game on monday? It's the cougars right?" She tried making conversation. Since they were in differant grades they didn't havea whole lot in common. Soccer, however was a passion both shared.

The cougars were a really good team and were the 'most likely to make it to championships. If W.P beat them.....they were almost guarenteed to go all the way.

[kristen gregory]

Kristen laughed, agreeing with Hayden's words with a nod.

"Very true," she said still lifting the weight. She finally switched arms though, now doing the other one. At Hayden's question, Kristen gave a slight grin.

"Well, I hope I'm ready for them. I'd like to kick their ass actually. And yeah, it's the cougars," she said laughing breathlessly.

"So what about you? Are you ready for the game?" she asked. She was glad that she and Hayden shared their passion for soccer. They didn't hang out a whole lot because Kristen spent pretty much all of her time with the Pretty Committee and with the Crew. The guys in the Crew were all like brothers to her and such so when she wasn't with her girls, she was with them. But then, they were generally always with the Pretty Committee too since three of the guys in it were seeing three of the girls. Kristen had a whole lot of fun with all of them. They meant the world to her.

But it was still nice to hang out with other people once in awhile. She liked to hang with the other girls on the soccer team occassionally.

[hayden adams]

" We are so gonna kick there asses, no doubt" she laughed, her slight texas accent peaking slightly. She hated it when it did that. People thought she was a hill billy.

She really liked Kristen but they never hung out much. Kristen was a pretty committee girl and was always with the crew. It was fine, it wasn't like Hayden had no other friends. She hung out with guys too. Un fortunetly she never dated them though.

"Do we have practicetonight?" she asked. It was saturday, when they usually had games so she wasn't sure. It was also something to talk about

[kristen gregory]

Kadie liked accents, and she thought Hayden's was cute. She couldn't think of any accents that she didn't like. She especially loved accents on guys. At Hayden's question she looked up from her weights.

"I think we have only an hour practice today. But it wasn't for sure. Coach will call people if he changes his mind," she responded.

"So, do you come here this early often?" she asked. She came here early often, but she rarely noticed people because she was always concentrating so much. Plus, it was a big gym so it wasn't unthinkable that she hadn't seen Hayden around here.

[hayden adams]

"Acually yeah i do" she laughed. " As often as i can." She put down here weights. She had just finished her left arm. She went to the nearby leg press. This was the best for soccer. Well, leg press and the bike.

She thought about all the times she had practiced with Kristen on the field. A total of two. Everyine always wanted to be Kristens partner. It wasn't like HAyden didn't have anyone wanting to be her partner, it was just Kristen was really good too. Not to brag, but herself and kristen were probably the best. And that was saying alot.

She continued to push in and out with her legs. " Soooooo" she said trieng to make some conversation. It was akward not talking and being so close.

{{{sorry it's so crappy lol. I'm pretty much babling}}}

[kristen gregory]

((Lol, nah. It's all good))

She nodded with a grin at Hayden's response. She must have missed her. But then, when she entered the gym; she usually was in her own little world. It felt nice to talk to someone for a change though. Kristen grinned as she finally set the weights down and then set down to work with her legs.

"So," she repeated with a soft laugh.

"Are you liking school this year?" she finally asked, not knowing really what else to say.
