Thomas was doing the usual push ups, training his body. It was already muscular giving the fact that he played for the football team. The fitness center was a bit empty except for the few people here and there, and some girls on those bike exercises. Thomas just kept going with the pushups and soon he went to lift heavyweights, taking deep breaths as his face was getting red. He kept on lifting them, the 18 year old always made sure to surpass his own limits. Some girls were looking at him as he kept on going, and soon he just stopped and put the heavyweights back. Thomas was breathing calmly, as he took a sip from his water bottle, he soon resumed his fitness program.

Lily hated going to the gym but her track coach had her in intense training in preparation for her senior season. She would rather be just running and tryin to beat her times but the coach insisted on her using the machines at the gym. Lil walked into the gym, shoving her coat and keys into her locker before grabbing her water bottle and heading out to the floor. She stretched for a good amount of time before getting on the treadmill. The gyms music was awful and she regretted leaving her ipod at home but she couldn't do anything about it now. Gazing around the room she recognized one of the guys in her grade. She and Thomas weren't really friends. They had always hung out in different crowds so they'd never actually formed a friendship. They exchanged hellos and the such at parties but that was about it. When Lil was done with her cardio she stepped off the treadmill and took a sip of her water. She wiped down the machine and headed towards one of the machines intent on helping her legs get stronger. She had to go around the blue mat in the center of the room where Thomas was working out. Hey Thomas she said before going over to her machine and putting her water beside it. She stretched her arms behind her back for a moment before adjusting the weights on the machine. |

Thomas was stretching his legs, focused completely, he seemed calm and less tired then the others in the gym. He had to make his legs stronger by stretching them and cardio exercises on that moving carpet was also good. Thomas heard a voice that he recognized, he stopped what he was doing and looked at Lily, just as a sign to let her know that he aknowledged her being here. "Hello Lily." Thomas said, with a small british accent, since he was born in England. The 18 year old didn't know Lily that much, giving their differences in friends, also the fact that he was hanging with Eric the sex freak, other rich people, Marcus and well basically the popular kids. Thomas just sat and started doing some sit ups, was good for the torso could also be good for his legs if he was quick enough. "So.. fuuuuu.. what fuuuuuu brings you here.. fuuu." Thomas said to Lily, actually starting a conversation for the first time with her..

Lily adjusted the weights on her machine before sitting down. She tested it out slowly. It wasn't as if it hurt but her muscles just weren't used to the angle of the exercise. So what brings you here Thomas asked Lily between sit ups. Lily looked over, surprised in a way that Thomas was talking to her but she brushed the thought off quickly. It didn't really matter why he was talking to her, what mattered was that he'd asked a question and Lily was taking too long to answer. Track coach sent me she answered. You? |

Thomas just kept doing his sit ups, waiting for an answer, or maybe not. Why would she reply, they were different after all, different people plus it was hard for other peoples to like the popular ones. Which was pretty normal though he didn't mind much. As he kept on doing his sit ups though this time slowing the rythm down a little.He got surprised when Lily answered back, he shook that thought off for a while. "Fuuuu, I see. Me? Fuuuu, the usual. Fuuu, training is always important fuuuuu for football players.. fuuuu. You could practically call.. fuuuuuuuu a gym, the house of football fuuuuuu players." Thomas just said, as he soon stopped and took a sip of his water, he was sweating, his white t-shirt was completely wet.

Becky finished running around the track for the twelfth time, which made her run three miles long, and immediately began to walk the track for a thirteenth lap, as her cool down. She felt her pulse begin to shift back to normal. Running was such an exillerating feeling. She had been asked more than once by the track coach to join the team but she had her eyes on soccer. She played for the school team in the fall, and she played for club teams the rest of the year.
Taking a gulp from her water bottle, she ran the back of one arm across her forehead. Time for the weight lifting part. She made her way over to that section and recognized two seniors from her school. "Hey Lily, hey Thomas" she called a general greeting as she set down her water by the lat pull down machine.

Lily relaxed her muscles before doing a set of ten. I'm sure she answered Thomas when he said you could practically call the gym the house of football players. Lil finished up with two more sets before moving on to the next machine. How is our team doing? she asked, trying to be polite and keep up the conversation. She already knew how they were doing and really didn't care much either way but she didnt want to be rude to Thomas. She heard a familiar voice and turned to see Becky Dawes. She was one of the star soccer players. Hey Becky, |

Thomas took another sip of his water, before getting to one machine where he had to pull a kind of rope. He set the weights to the maximum he could and started pulling it. "Fuuuu, pretty good, Three wins, fuuuuu didn't lose a game yet fuuuuu but it's just the start of fuuuu the season.." Thomas said, as he kept pulling with his right hand, soon he changed, doing it with his left hand. Thomas heard a familiar voice, since he watches every teams playing.. "Fuuuu hello Becky fuuuu. Looks like fuuuu you seem fuuuu more happy then fuuuuu usual, outside of fuuu soccer." Thomas said, listening to the girls conversation.

ooc; sammi asked me to edit so you should edit yours too. i made a mistake about becks being in college. thanks.
Lily nodded when Thomas told her how the team was doing, it was nothing she hadn't already heard from her football obsessed friend Dylan. Dylan had graduated the year before and was at Saint James College but spent enough time paying attention to his old football team. She switched machines again, taking a sip of her water between them. Seems like most of the school is here today, huh? she said to them both. |

Becky laughed and nodded. "Yeah, it's a pretty good hang out spot since STJH doesn't have a fitness place except for the smelly old gym." She did a few reps on the machine, sipped some water, and did a few more reps. "Either of you two going to the soccer game this weekend" she wanted to know. "It's against Waterville." Waterville is the bigger town next to Saint James and the two towns are bitter rivals. Have been since day one.

"Fuuu depends of which day, saturday or sunday? Fuuu cause saturday, football team fuuuu playing against fuuuu, a football team in a college from fuuuu Boston." Thomas said, still pulling the rope with those weight, increasing it at times. He took a sip of his water eventually and turned around to look at the girls.

"Well, it's Saturday morning. I thought the football game wasn't until the afternoon?" Becky rested her arms, leaning backwards and taking slow breaths. She turned to Lily. "Are you going? We're trying to get huge crowds there. The whole boys soccer team will be there since their game is right before ours. We'll get to see their first half before warming up for our game. And there will be lots of food. Which is always nice."

Lily was quiet as Becky and Thomas talked. She just concentrated on her work out, not really concerned with the conversation until Becky asked her if she was going to the soccer game. Uh, I think I'm going to skip this one out [/b] she answered truthfully. It wasn't that she didn't like soccer because she did and she went to most of the games. She just had other things to do, like catch up on studying. You'll let me know how it goes though right?[/b] she asked with a soft smile.[/size][/blockquote] |

Becky stood and stretched out her arms over her head. "Yeah, of course. And I'm sure there will be a big announcement in the morning during homeroom about all the sports games over the weekend. They're all pretty important ones I think." She bent backwards into a bridge to stretch her back out as well. Straightening up and adjusting her sporty tank top, she smiled back at Lily.
