What The Luck!? Chapter 263
Advertisement
After Asher and Art had shaken on their bet they took the duty of cleaning up the study materials and snacks they had all had while studying. The two ended up going to sleep a little earlier than expected since they could tell that the girls had already done so most likely because the training was going to be much harder the next day.
Asher wanted to stay in his bed all morning but the brutality of the alarm woke him up as always. If there was anything that could be considered his enemy it would be the sound of the alarm. Unfortunately for him, his super power didn't seem to affect the sound of his alarm as a real enemy and give it bad luck.
Asher got himself up and put on his best work out gear along with grabbing the vitamin packs they would need for after their work outs. "Asher, do you think I should bring some snacks for everyone? I can use the recipes that the apps suggest for everyone to snack on throughout the work out. They should help everyone stay on the ball."
Art had already been up for a little while before everyone else and heard Ashers' alarm, he had been preparing breakfast and a few fruit smoothies which he knew would be ideal for them to stay energized and repair their bodies from the harsh work out ahead of them. The idea to bring snacks had occurred to him and he decided to check with Asher before he did so.
"That sounds great. I will come help pack them up when I am done getting my stuff together." Asher thought that it was a great idea to bring snacks and knew that everyone would be very excited when they were told.
He could hear Jane and Cara awake as well and knew that he was the one behind when it came to getting ready. This put Asher in to over drive as he packed his bag with some of the homework he wanted to get done in the downtime they would schedule between training exercises. This was their plan since they couldn't stay in motion the entire time without possibly harming themselves.
Asher headed down to the kitchen and found that Art was quickly cutting some of the vegetables and fruits in to bite sized pieces. "This should be perfect to pack in to the snack containers. I will grab a cooler and some ice so they stay cool." Asher pulled the cooler and some of the ice from the freezer to prepare to package them.

"We can help too." Jane came in to the kitchen with her own work out gear on. She had brought a change of clothing for the reason that she might end up staying overnight. Mostly because Cara had suggested it in the first place before the two had actually met.
"Sounds good, Asher is going to pack the cooler so if you want to start filling the things I have cut in to the containers that would be perfect." Art was in full chef mode and directed Jane to the pile of waiting vegetables and fruits.
"I guess I can help too, but what is the other thing you're making for?" Cara had noticed that Art had two snack boxes set aside and he was cutting specially shaped fruit in to them.
"Oh, this is for your parents. They do so much for me so I have been trying to make some things for them too. I can't just take from your family and not give back." Art had been doing this for a little while now and was constantly told by Asher and Cara's mother that it wasn't needed. However, their father had told Art many times now that he looked forward to bringing the snacks to work since he could easily eat them while he worked on the cases he had in the office.
"I didn't even realize you were doing that…" Cara felt that she had been missing a huge portion of what Art did for their family. She hadn't wanted him to be there in the first place since she was a little hard headed, but the more Art did the more she had begun to realize what she had thought of him was wrong.
"I will pack the fruit and you can grab the vegetables."Jane passed Cara some of the containers and the group got to work packing the snacks. In no time flat, they had caught up with Arts' speedy knife work.
"Done and done." Asher closed the cooler and looked at everyone realizing that he was definitely the one stuck carrying it. All he could think was that it was lucky that the cooler had back pack straps so it would at least be easy for him to carry while running.
"So, we are taking the long way to the school right?" Cara was smiling with a slight amount of mischief since she knew that they were going to have a little trouble keeping up on the long run.

"I want to say no but it will be better for us to take the long way." Jane knew that it would turn in to a race to keep up with Cara. She had been in the same situation the previous day where her entire goal was to keep Cara in view while they ran the route to the park and back.
"I think I can do this today. I slept well, I had some food already, and I am wide awake." Art was giving himself a pep talk so that he would stay on pace with everyone and possibly Cara. He at the very least wanted to beat Asher to start off the day on a proper note.
"Yeah...I am not trying to keep up with you. You can rush off ahead but I will try and keep my own pace today." Asher was dismissing the idea of keeping up with Cara on the first second. He knew that she was about to go all out today and that keeping up with her would just tire them out before they got to the main training. It was not worth the strain on their bodies.
"I am going to try and keep her in sight. That's what I did yesterday. You should at least try and keep up with me." Jane was challenging Art and Asher who were looking at her like she had just insulted their pride.
"You think you can stay ahead of us?" Art may have a bet with Asher but he decided in that moment that it could wait until later like they had said. Jane had just issued a heavy challenge to them.
"She is just dreaming. Don't worry, she will be behind us by the time we get to the school." Asher was right there next to Art with the challenge. He wasn't going to let Jane beat them.
The rivalry had been ignored as they each grabbed their backpacks with study and work out gear. They knew that they were in for a long day but it was going to be very worth while. "Well, have fun looking at my back." Cara stuck her tongue out as she darted off ahead of them. Her starting pace was much faster than they had expected and all three knew that they had begun a harder challenge than expected.
Jane was the first to realize that Cara's pace would be faster than the day before and darted off herself. The initial burst of speed shocked Asher and Art who were still stretching a little. Jane was clearly ready to get ahead of them early before falling in to her own pace.
"Dang it, they are going to be way ahead. Let's go!" Art followed after pushing Asher to start moving too. They were both refusing to fall behind and be beaten so easily.
The route they were going to follow was one that they could easily manage but would take them all the way around to the side of the school instead of the front. It would add on a whole two miles to their run since they needed to cross certain streets and avoid different areas that had heavy traffic.
The pair was right in Janes' heels but held back together as they ran. They had completely ignored their normal rivalry to keep up with Jane and Cara. Jane on the other hand could feel them right behind her and was tempted to push forward more but was holding herself back because she knew as soon as she did she would lose the energy she needed to keep up her p[ace.
This was a constant battle as the three held their pace for the first half of the run. They had long lost Cara due to her increasing pace making the three feel like they had started to slow. But they maintained pace until they had rounded the corner and saw the straight shot to the school. This pushed them in to an all out sprint to beat each other there.
