Carlos walked down the modest looking street looking for Vivian's house. She had told him 342 Woodley Road and he was just know passing 315 Woodley Road. He walked a few more blocks when he saw Vivian sitting on the front porch of a quaint looking yellow and white house. she stood up and waved him forward.
" You walked all this way ?" She asked
"It's not to far " He explained.
" Yeah, right I was at your house for the team picnic it's like 10 minutes away on foot." She said smiling.
" No, problem . . . It was so lame we had to have the picnic in the backyard."
" Yeah well, you have a big backyard and there were no poter potties . . . gross !" she said. "Okay, I'm ready let's get going to the gym. Did you want a bottle of water or something ? " She asked
"No, I wasn't really planning on working out . . . or anything"
"What ? You have too it's no fun watching me, I'm going to get you a bottle of water" She said and ran in to the house. Carlos sat on the front stoop and watched the sun float gently into the sky, trying to figure out what he was doing up this early. Viv came back in to view and threw a water bottle to Carlos, he caught it and they walked towards her car.

"John, what colors should I wear should I do green and white school colors or is that to showy ?" Klarissa, John's little sister asked shaking him out of bed.
"You must have lost your mind it's 6:00 in the morning, Klar. Leave me alone !" grumbled the mass beneath the Redskins comforter.
"I'm getting ready early I want the other girls to like me. Don't you want them to like me ?" She asked, hitting him on the back.
"Go AWAY ! You are being so annoying. " He said making a feeble attempt to kick her.
"Fine !" She said turning and walking out slamming his door behind her.

"So, what treadmill, bike, elliptical ?" Carlos asked walking around the carpeted area of Morrison Rec Center with Viv following behind him.
"You're kidding me right ? I don't come here to do what I can do outside, lets go to the free weight room" She said stepping in front of him.
They walked towards an enclosed space with three benches and racks of weights. Viv picked up a 35 pound weight, sat on a bench and started doing arm curls.
"So, I um . . I thought we could do a paper " Carlos said sitting next to her.
"A paper ? For class but, that is so much work." She whined, putting the 35 pound back and picking up a 45 pound weight.
"I know but, I think I have some good ideas alot actually, and Ms.Collins will love it."
"Okay, fine you have me sold but, I'm following you on this one."
They sat in silence as Viv pumped 8 more sets.
"Do you want to play a quick game" She asked motioning towards the free basketball courts.
"Actually, I have to get to football practice." He told her putting down the weight.
"Oh.Okay . . ." She said, slowly walking towards the weights
"But, I have time for a five minute game." he added.
"Great !" She said running to the courts. " Shoul I spot you 5 points " She joked, picking up a stray basketball.
"Very funny " Calros added going after the ball.
