good as hell

Diana Boyer :: twenty three :: 

“Oh, come on,” Bridgit laughed, “this is me going easy on you.” The blonde shook her head at her friend before standing to stretch. “If you can’t handle this now, how are you going to react when I really start pushing you?”

“I’ve completed 3 years of nursing school,” Diana began, starting to feel her deep competitive side start to peak out. “traveled to different schools across the country, learned multiple languages, I’m not going to let a little physical activity get the best of me.” Though it killed her inside, the girl took a deep breath trying to shake everything off, just concentrated on showing her determination instead. “So if you say we have more to go lets do it. Just don’t be surprised if I decide to kill you in the end.” The short girl said low but enhancing on the you. “So do you really wanna do that?”

cam looked over at the girl with a monotoned expression, barely raising an eyebrow. looking at the two of them, you’d assume they were doing completely different activities. the short brunette was drenched in sweat while camden barely had any perspiration. “i am.” he said as he grabbed the towel from the girl, dabbing his forehead before giving it back to her. “keep up shorty.”   

“I can’t keep up! Believe it or not, I’ve never been quite the gym junkie.” Diana couldn’t help but study him as she sat down at the edge of the bench, his non expressive reaction matching her annoyed looking eyes. “We’ve been going for a while now how is it possible we aren’t done with this workout yet? I’m sure we have better things to do than die together.” A deep undertone of annoyance filled each of her words, but whether it is annoyance towards him or herself for not being able to keep up, it wouldn’t change much. 

laurel chuckled; for the redhead, this was just the beginning of their workout. she could be here for hours if time never got the best of her. she mirrored diana’s actions by reaching out for her towl, the material dragging across her forehead before sighing out another breathless laugh, “you kidding me? that was just a warm up. now let’s actually get down to business.. twenty-k run on the treadmil, seventy-eight percent hill incline, let’s do this!”

The usually unexpressive brunette could not help but let her eyes widen as she heard the words come out of Laurel’s mouth. “There is actually no way in hell we are doing a twenty-k run.” Just expressing the words, Diana couldn’t help but feel a little fear run through her body. Fear of a workout. Something new the girl was not gonna let herself live down. “What ever happened to fun workouts, like Zumba and shit? Isn’t that a bit nicer and not death worthy?”

melissa pushed through the intense burning sensation that was radiating throughout her upper body and exhaled slowly while she placed the bar back onto the rack to complete her reps. “i thought you knew what you were getting yourself into,” she teased as she sat up to get a proper look at her new gym partner. being a mechanic required a surprising amount of physical strength, so she often found herself at the gym when she wasn’t working. “come on, it’s not thatbad. no pain no gain, right?” she added, wiggling her eyebrows playfully as she patted one of her biceps. “it’ll all be worth it in the end.”

Fixing her stance wanting to seem unbothered, as if her lungs weren’t desperately trying to catch another deep breath, a sly chuckle left her lips. “No pain no gain my ass.” Diana mumbled. “I have rotations tomorrow starting at 7:30am. I asked for your help so I could be the most physically fit nurse, not a dead man walking.” Despite her words, Diana knew it wasn’t on Melissa why she felt so dead. The past few nights filled with boxes of booze coming in had her body exhausted, with already an intense pain from past night soreness traveling through her body. This was her life now and in no way was she ever going to be happy about it. “How do you do this so often? You superwoman or something?”
