Chapter 99 Ava: Life in Westwood (IV)
A plastic thud startles me awake. I crack open an eye to see Lisa's alarm clock skitter across the floor, her arm still extended from the throw.
"I can't do this anymore," she moans into her pillow. "Everything hurts. I think my eyelashes are sore."
I laugh, but it turns into a groan as I slide out of bed, my muscles screaming in protest. Four days of Jericho's training from hell, and my body still hasn't adjusted. I'm not sure it ever will.

By the time I emerge from the bathroom, Lisa is up and dressed, her hair pulled back into a messy ponytail. She shoots me a baleful look as she tugs on her sneakers.
"I hate you for being a morning person."
"I'm not a morning person," I protest, grabbing my water bottle. "I'm just better at pretending than you are."
