1 " Nice Lincoln legs.""I bet you say that to all the girls." Sterling was kind of growing on me. I liked his sense of humor."Actually, I do," he admitted. "Can't help it. All i can say is that someone needs to assassinate those socks. They do all sorts of horrible things to the female figure which, come to think of it, i might be the purpose of them all.""How so?""Isn't it obvious? It's hard for me to find any female attractive when there are two miniature dead presidents peeking out from under her skirt at me. "

2 " SQUATS, Clementine! And don't stop until class is over. You legs look like they'd snap under the weight of a sack of flour. How do you walk around on those things?" "I don't know, Professor. One foot in front of the other, I guess. "
3 " Well don't get your hopes up," I warned. "I'm a lot more trouble than i'm worth.""I don't doubt that," he said, indicating my box of junk. "What did you do to get sent here?""I can't tell you.""Because then you'd have to kill me. "
4 " The girl may have been tiny, but everything about her said, I'm not scared of you, so piss off. "
5 " Class?" I asked in surprise. "Today?""This isn't a spa vacation, Tiger Lily. Just be glad it's History of Wormwood and not conditioning.""Conditioning?""Hope you've got a bottle of Icy Hot in there. "
6 " We run for an hour and a half?""Five miles.""Every morning?""Every morning.""Even Saturdays and Sunday.""Yes, but you don't have to do the obstacle course on the weekend."Obstacle course? Sterling didn't say anything about an obstacle course did he? I'd never run five miles in my entire life and now i was going to have to do it every day? And with obstacles on most of those days? I am going to die, I thought, I am literally going to have a heart attack and die the very first day.Well, that's one way to get out of being a mandate." "
