No, Onto Morning

It was clear from the sluggish movement, that most of the group hadn't spent the summer getting up for 7 AM breakfast. Bianca of course was already at her table. Getting her mind on work was the best way to put aside the previous night's events. She had decided that she and Brian should lead the two groups through the morning activity. Not only was it the prudent choice, but it would keep them focused on other things.

"Dude, I don't think you've stopped smiling since last night," Axe joked with his friend. "Good night?"

"It was... good, "Alex replied, laughing.

"You guys give me hope."

"What about Sayen? You were asking about her yesterday."

Axe's face dropped.

"Oh no, I... I don't think she's interested."

Alex looked at his friend as he quickly grabbed his things and headed to the shower. Hmm I wonder what happened there, he thought.

Brian and Dr. Pittman were coming back from a morning jog. Pitt hadn't broached the topic of Bianca because it wasn't his place. But, putting aside his own feelings for her, he could see why she was attracted to Brian. In a lot of ways he felt like he was a younger version of himself.

Brian couldn't stop thinking about Bianca. Early in their friendship he had crushed on her hard, but she presented herself as unattainable and he had come to accept that. Now he was confused, especially with all the shit from Kat this week. He knew nothing could be resolved until he had seen and spoken to her.

Makayla looked over at the the still sleeping Gaby who had snoozed her alarm twice. She grabbed her stuff. As she was leaving her room, heading for the shower, she happened to glance down and see Erik leaving the weight room, shirtless. She paused for a second to look, then quickly hurried into the bathroom. Erik looked up and though he wasn't certain, he smiled as he had a pretty good idea of who it was he had just seen.

Gina prepared for the day. She had big smile on her face. All the anxious worried thoughts from the day before were gone. Her fiance had done good... if only he were here.

Sayen exited the bathroom as Makayla entered. She ran into her room real quick then headed downstairs. She greeted Bianca.

"I have a breakfast date," she said, smiling, as she headed to a different table.

Bianca nodded and winked, having heard about the previous day's wager while they were getting up.
